Definitions

  • the present invention refers to food recipients, more specifically to food recipients consisting of a container and its lid, more concretely to changes introduced in the mechanism for making the sealing, and subsequent opening and closing of recipients.
  • a number of attachable container and lid equipment's are known in the art, especially concerning the storage, display and transport of both solid and liquid foods. With the introduction of pre-made food and self-service stores, the need to pack, display and transport packed-food in perfect conditions of inviolability has become evident.
  • the document BR PI 1001220-6 presents one of the most common types of packaging, particularly for packaging of soups or yogurts.
  • the cap (2) can be pulled out to be withdrawn.
  • the equipment filling the containers is equipped with a pylon system to engage the lid in the container.
  • the equipment filling the containers is equipped with a rotation system that enables the lid to be coupled to the container.
  • This procedure is especially advantageous in recipients containing soups or the like, where splashes are often encountered when pulling the lid to separate it from the container.
  • Another advantage is that the recipient is reusable and easy to use.
  • substantially cylindrical By “substantially cylindrical”, “substantially circular”, “substantially annular”, “substantially rectilinear” shapes, are understood as preferred forms for carrying out the invention and it may function in other forms.
  • positions “substantially parallel”, “substantially perpendicular”, “substantially oblique”, are understood as preferred positions for the realization of the invention and it may function with other positions.
  • the present invention relates to modifications introduced in the mechanism for sealing, and subsequent opening and closing of recipients, more specifically food recipients consisting of a container (C) and respective lid (T).
  • the recipients of the invention is constituted by a lid (T) and a container (C) for storage, exhibition and transport of food products.
  • the lid (T) of substantially circular shape has an outer skirt (T.5) along its entire circumference, at a position substantially perpendicular to the base and having a substantially annular shape.
  • a tamper-evident band (T.1) with a substantially annular shape and a radius identical to that of the outer skirt (T.5) is attached to the outer skirt (T.5).
  • the tamper-evident band (T.1) is attached to the outer skirt (T.5) by a zone of thinner thickness, so as to be easily removable when desired.
  • the tamper-evident band (T.1) has an opening tab (T.2) that extends outwardly so that it can be gripped by a person wishing to remove the tamper-evident band (T.1) from the outer skirt (T.5), thus having access to the contents of the container (C).
  • the inner face of the outer skirt (T.5) has fitting fillets of the lid (T.3) which, together with the fitting fillets in the container (C.3) allow that, after removal of the tamper-evident band (T.1) the recipient is closed and opened by rotating the lid (T) in the container (C).
  • the fitting fillets of the lid (T.3), located on the inner face of the outer skirt (T.5), are substantially rectilinear in shape and are in a position substantially oblique to the wall where they are embedded.
  • the lower part of the inner skirt (T.4) has a smaller diameter than the upper part of the inner skirt (T.4) .
  • This difference in diameters, lower at the bottom and higher at the top makes the space between the inner skirt (T.4) and the outer skirt (T.5) larger at the bottom, facilitates the pointing of the lid (T) in the closure process of the recipient either by pressure or by rotation of the lid (T), making it faster and more accurate.
  • the tightness of the recipient is ensured by the fact that, being the diameter of the upper part of the inner skirt (T.4) greater than the diameter of the lower part of the inner skirt (T.4), the space between the inner skirt (T.4) and the outer skirt (T.5) is smaller at the top than at the bottom, thus allowing contact between the collar of the lid (T) and the inner skirt (T.4) to be promoted.
  • the container (C) has a substantially cylindrical shape, has immediately below the upper collar at least two fitting fillets in the container (C.3), which in conjunction with the fitting fillets of the lid (T.3) allow the initial closure and sealing of the recipient to be effected by pressure, and may subsequently be opened and closed by rotating the lid (T) in the container (C) .
  • the fitting fillets in the container (C.3) have a substantially rectilinear shape, are in a position substantially oblique to the wall where they are embedded, have a length substantially identical to the length of the fitting fillets of the lid (T.3) and in equal number to the number of fitting fillets of the lid (T.3) .
  • This geometry of the fitting fillets (T.3) (C.3) allows the initial engagement between the lid (T) and the container (C) to be effected by pressure, these fitting fillets (T.3) (C.3) subsequently functioning as fillets of a thread, allowing rotation of the lid (T) on the container (C) for opening and closing the recipient.
  • a substantially annular top ring (C.2) positioned substantially perpendicular to the outer wall of the container (C) and bypassing the entire container (C), prevents that the lid (T) can be removed without the tamper-evident band (T.1) being tamped, by preventing the tamper-evident band (T.1) from being moved vertically, due to the fact that it is engaged in the coupling region between the outer skirt (T.5) and the tamper-evident band (T.1).
  • a substantially annular bottom ring (C.1) positioned substantially perpendicular to the outer wall of the container (C) and bypassing the entire container (C), prevents the lid (T) can be removed without the tamper-evident band (T.1) being tamped, by preventing an object from being placed between the tamper-evident band (T.1) and the container (C), which in any way allows removal of the lid (T), since the tamper-evident band (T.1) is substantially against the bottom ring (C.1).
