Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage container for food, which is formed by at least one upwardly open base body made of a hard plastic, which has at least one lid support edge and which is divided into at least two partial shells.
  • Such a container which has a circumferential locking projection and can be closed with a lid, which in turn has articulated locking tabs, is in the US 2004 / 0084464A1 shown. It can be used in a variety of ways in the household for storage, including aqueous or liquid foods. Such a storage container is available in several sizes in order to be able to select a suitable container volume depending on the size of the food to be packaged. Each storage container is closed individually with a lid cut to its cross-section.
  • a multi-part storage container in which two sub-containers are coupled to one another in order to be able to transport different foods.
  • Each partial shell can be closed with its own lid. To open and close, two separate lids must be put on and closed or removed again. Pouring the contents of the partial shells into one another by swiveling one part up against the other cannot be implemented in such a household storage container, since it is formed from a hard and relatively thick-walled, thermoplastic and is designed for a long service life, so that predetermined breaking lines are out of the question.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a storage container with at least two partial shells, in which the content of one partial shell can be tilted into the other partial shell and in which no separate covers are required individually for each partial shell.
  • the partial shells are connected to one another in an articulated manner by a so-called hinge.
  • the area of the hinge represents an interruption of the outer contour of the base body.
  • the upper lid support edge runs almost through, namely from the outside of the one partial shell to the edge arranged flush with it on the other partial shell.
  • the lid support edge is interrupted on both sides of the hinge, that is to say in the area of its two end faces.
  • the side walls of the partial shells that lie opposite one another are not quite as high as those on the outer circumference.
  • the side walls of the partial shells formed from a hard material preferably have a lowered edge and the hinge is arranged approximately at the level of the recessed edges.
  • the partial shells in the area of the hinge are designed so that a single cover that covers the entire layout of both partial shells together can be used.
  • the two partial shells are supported in the area of their flexible connection, so that in this area, which has changed compared to the known containers, no major deformations can occur when the storage container and lid are connected to one another.
  • the base body is identical to the known storage containers with only one compartment, so that existing cover elements can be used.
  • the lid is locked and sealed on the base body in the same way as is known from the prior art, namely in particular by means of locking tabs which are articulated to the cover element and which are latched under a locking projection formed on the outer circumference of the base body.
  • each partial shell has an elastomeric sealing web. This extends between the ends of the lid support edges, so that a continuous edge contour is formed on each partial shell, at least one part of which is made of a hard component and the other part is a soft component in the region of the hinge band. If a lid is now put on, which has an endless sealing surface on its underside, the hard lid contact edge lies in the majority of the circumference Partial shell on this sealing surface. Where a cross connection is still missing in order to achieve a complete seal of the partial shell, the soft-elastomeric sealing web rests on the underside of the lid in the area of the hinge. At the very end, in the connection area to the hard lid support edge, the soft sealing web bridges the remaining distance by also being placed on the sealing surface on the underside of the lid.
  • the hinge is made of TPE, for example, and is directly connected to the walls of the hard-thermoplastic shell.
  • the hinge can be formed in at least one of several layers as a film hinge, which consists of the same hard thermoplastic material from which the sub-containers are made.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the two partial containers are connected by such a film hinge and additionally a soft elastic component is sprayed on as a layer.
  • the sealing webs can then advantageously be produced in one piece together with the elastomeric partial layer of the hinge.
  • a stiffness and restoring effect is achieved by the hard component that not z.
  • one of the sub-containers hangs heavily when the user lifts the storage container on the other sub-container, and that further handling in relation to the placement and locking of the lid is easily possible.
  • good flexibility is achieved in the area of the articulated hinge so that, if necessary, one part of the container can be swiveled up or bent off relative to the other.
  • Figure 1 shows a storage container 100, which consists of two separate sub-containers 10, 20.
  • the partial containers 10, 20 each end at the top with a lid support edge 12, 22.
  • the lid support edges 12, 22 are in the illustrated starting position of both partial containers 10, 20 in the same plane.
  • Locking projections 11, 21 are integrally formed on the outer sides of the partial containers 10, 20.
  • the partial containers 10, 20 formed from a hard thermoplastic plastic each terminate on an inner edge 13, 23 which runs straight in the plan view.
  • An elastic hinge 30 is formed between the inner edges 13, 23, via which the two partial shells 10, 20 are connected to one another in an articulated manner. Above the inner edges 13, 23, the hinge band 30 each has an upstanding elastomeric sealing web 31, 32.
  • Figure 4 shows the storage container 100 in the initial state from the long side in a slightly perspective view.
  • the locking projections 11, 21 and the cover support edges 12, 22 are clearly visible.
  • the cover support edges 12, 22 or locking projections 11, 21 run towards one another in the region of the hinge band 30, but are also clearly interrupted there.
  • a kink line 35 is formed on the hinge band 30, for example due to a local weakening of material.
  • the kink line 35 is not arranged centrally between the two partial shells 10, 20, but is arranged closer to the large partial shell 10.
  • FIG 2 a position of use of the storage container 100 is shown, in which the small partial container 20 is pivoted up while the large partial container 10 remains in its initial position.
  • the hinge band 30 is kinked in the area of the kink line 35.
  • the articulated band 30 is separated by the off-center line 35 into a narrower part 33 on the large part container 10 and a wider part area 34 on the small part container 20.
  • the eccentric arrangement of the hinge or kink line 35 leads to the fact that the upper edge of the sealing web 32, viewed in cross-section, is pivoted on a circular path that leads to above the sealing web 31.
  • the sealing webs 31, 32 thus do not collide, so that the pivoting of one partial container 20 relative to the other partial container 10 is possible not only by an angle of 90 degrees, but also beyond.
  • the side wall 24 of the small partial container 20 facing the hinge 30 can be arranged obliquely downward. The food contained in the small part container 20 can thus trickle out or flow out more easily.
  • FIG 3 the complete storage container set, consisting of a storage container 100 and a cover element 40 known per se, is shown in a further longitudinal section.
  • the cover element 40 lies with its sealing surface 43 on the cover support edges 12, 22.
  • the latching tabs 41, 42 are latched under the locking projections 11, 21, which causes a contact pressure which firmly engages the cover 40 in the region of the sealing surface 43 Lid support edges 12, 22 presses.
  • the seal is not brought about by an additional elastomeric sealing surface on the underside of the cover, but rather via elastomeric sealing webs 31, 32 in the area of the hinge band 30. These are deformed and, due to the existing contact forces, firmly against the pressed smooth underside of the lid 40, so that there is an air and liquid-tight connection.
  • each sealing web 31, 32 is designed to rise slightly in precisely this area, so that there is an excess in any case and due to compression of the elastic components when locking the lid 40, a reliable seal can be achieved.
  • the hinge band comprises a lower layer 37 and an upper layer 36.
  • the upper layer 36 preferably consists of a thermoplastic elastomer and connects the two sealing webs 31, 32 to one another.
  • the lower layer 37 is a bridge made of a hard thermoplastic, which connects the two partial containers 10, 20 and which is designed as a film hinge in the region of the fold line 35.
