Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the technical field of lid-container assemblies for food, and it particularly has as object a hermetic lid-container assembly with simplified and quick closure.
  • the term "food use” or its derivatives with reference to a material indicates the ability of said material to meet the requirements of the existing legislation at the time and in the country of interest.
  • the term "monolithic manufacturing" or its derivatives with reference to at least two bodies indicates that such bodies, as a consequence of this type of manufacturing, are composed of a single piece because their junction is suitable to support the move of traction forces or shear forces through the contact surface.
  • the term "container” refers to any hollow object suitable for containing solid and / or liquid products.
  • hermetic lid-container assembly is well known for food such as mozzarella, yogurt, ice cream or any other food that is at least partially liquid that needs to be kept in an airtight package.
  • the lid and the container can be coupled in various ways.
  • lids and containers that can be 'screw' coupled or heat-sealed with subsequent 'tear-off' openings are well known.
  • packaging with pressure closure are well known, in which the lid is simply pressed onto the container until it is hermetically sealed.
  • the containers of such known packages have an external edge area with a flat surface slightly projecting with respect to the lateral surface of the container and susceptible to abut the lid when it is pressed on the perimeter of the edge area.
  • Object of the present invention is to overcome, at least partially, the drawbacks illustrated above, by providing a hermetic lid-container assembly that is easy to implement and relatively cost-effective.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a hermetic lid-container assembly being safe and quick to couple.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a hermetic lid-container assembly being able to counteract the leakage of any food and / or other liquids.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a hermetic lid-container assembly that is easy to use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a hermetic lid-container assembly being able to extend the life of the product contained therein.
  • lid-container assembly 1 for the storage of one or more foods.
  • the food may be at least partially liquid, such as mozzarella in its preserving liquid, yogurt, stracchino, ice cream and the like.
  • the assembly 1 may be hermetic.
  • the assembly 1 may include a container 10 and a lid 20 that may be coupled in a removable way.
  • the container 10 and the lid 20 may have any possible shape suitable for the purpose, for example a cylindrical or parallelepiped shape.
  • the assembly may have a circular plan shape.
  • the container 10 and the lid 20 may be made in any other shape, without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
  • the lid 20 may include a cover wall 26 lying on a plane ⁇ 2 and a lateral surface 27.
  • the wall 26 may include an inner surface 21 and an opposite surface 28 susceptible to remain visible.
  • the container 10 may have a main hollow body 11 with a lateral surface 17 and a back wall 16.
  • the lateral surface 17 and the back wall 16 may define a compartment 1617 and an opening 1618, where the compartment 1617 may contain the food, and the opening 1618 may allow its introduction.
  • the lateral surface 17 may include an edge area 12 with a perimeter portion 121 extending along its perimeter in correspondence with the opening 1618.
  • the walls 26 and 16 and the walls 27 and 17 may be facing each other when the container 10 and the lid 20 are coupled.
  • the perimeter portion 121 may come into contact with the same inner surface 21 of the wall 26.
  • the edge area 12 may include a planar surface 14 projecting with respect to the same edge area 12 and lying on a plane ⁇ 1 .
  • planar surface 14 may be a laminar projection having annular shape, in the event the body 11 is cylindrical, or of any other shape suggested by the plan of the latter.
  • planar surface 14 may have a perimeter portion 141 extending along the perimeter of the latter.
  • the plane ⁇ 1 and the lateral surface 17 may be incident.
  • the edge area 12 may include a surface 15 interposed between the perimeter portion 121 and the surface 14.
  • the surface 15 and the surface 14 will be incident with one another.
  • the same surfaces will be reciprocally perpendicular.
  • the container 10 and the lid 20 may include means for the mutual connection and disconnection.
  • such means will be snap-in connection means, and even more preferably of male - female type.
  • the container 10 may include connecting means 30 of male type, while the lid 20 may include connecting means 40 of female type.
  • the container 10 may include connecting means of female type while the lid 20 may include connecting means of male type, without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
  • the connecting means 30 may include a projection 31 made in correspondence of the perimeter portion 121 of the edge area 12.
  • the connecting means 40 may include a counter-shaped recess 41 and made in correspondence of the surface 21.
  • projection 31 and the recess 41 will be suitably dimensioned in order to ensure the joint mutual connection, as well as the the hermetic sealing of the assembly 1.
  • the container 10 and the lid 20 may include means for the reciprocal centering.
  • Such means will be particularly useful during the food packing, in order to avoid misalignments between the container 10 and the lid 20, thus ensuring a rapid and hermetic closure.
  • the surface 14 may include a projection 13 extending along the same surface, at an average distance d from the perimeter portion 141, as specifically shown in FIG. 3C .
  • the distance d may be calculated between the external area of the perimeter portion 141 and the external area of the projection 13.
  • the projection 13 may have an abutment portion 1323 opposite to the lateral surface 17 and susceptible to face the lateral surface 27 when the container 10 and the lid 20 are coupled.
  • the lateral surface 27 of the lid 20 may include centering means 23 with a counteracting portion 2313 susceptible to come into contact with the abutment portion 1323 during the coupling between the container 10 and the lid 20.
  • the planes ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 will be substantially parallel and a hermetic connection between the container 10 and the lid 20 may be obtained.
  • the centering means 23 may include a lead surface 24 made in correspondence of the surface 21.
  • such lead surface 24 may be a ribbing adjacent to the recess 41, as specifically shown in FIG. 3B .
  • the same lead surface 24 may include a portion 241 defining a wall of the recess 41.
  • the latter will be laterally bordered, at least partially, by the portion 241 and by the lateral surface 27.
  • centering means will speed up the food packaging.
  • the average distance d between the projection 13 and the perimeter 141 may be dimensioned, in a per se known way, in order to prevent possible unintentional decouplings between the lid 20 and the container 10.
  • edges of the lateral surface 27 of the lid 20 may be completely contained within the perimeter portion 141 or they may be aligned with it.
  • the latter may include a seal portion 22.
  • the seal portion 22 may be at least partially removed in a per se known way, in order to allow the decoupling between the lid 20 and the container 10 and to allow the extraction of food.
  • all the elements of the container 10 and of the lid 20 may be made of co-molded materials.
  • the used materials may be for food use.
  • the present invention comprises several similar or identical parts and/or elements. Unless otherwise specified, similar or identical parts and/or elements will be indicated with a single reference number, meaning that the described technical characteristics are common to all the similar or identical parts and/or elements.
