Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container.
  • the container is designed to contain a cream or other 'consumable' product, it is not pleasing to see the contents from the outside when the said container is only partially full, 'smeared' from use, or in any case messy.
  • the internal elements are usually made of plastic. However, glass tolerances make it difficult to achieve a stable coupling of the external element and the internal element.
  • a continuous protruding perimeter ring is made (similar to an O-ring) which deforms elastically and allows the coupling of the plastic and the glass (compensating for the gaps created by the glass tolerances).
  • teeth can be made on the glass that can be coupled to the continuous ring (therefore essentially creating a snap-fit).
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a container which is more easily disposed of as sorted waste than those according to the prior art and which may also be refillable.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a container which is more environmentally compatible than those according to the prior art.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a container which is more economical than those according to the prior art.
  • reference number 1 is used to denote, as a whole, a container.
  • the container 1 is configured to house a fluid or powdery substance, such as a cream or a powder, preferably of a cosmetic or medical kind.
  • the container 1, or better the internal element 3, may be configured to contain a relatively small quantity of substance, for example from 5ml to 200ml, preferably from 10 to 100ml.
  • the container 1 comprises an external element 2 made of glass and an internal element 3 inserted into a mouth 2A of the external element 2.
  • the external element 2 can have a jar (or pot) configuration and be made of transparent or translucent glass or glass decorated in various ways.
  • the internal element 3 comprises at least two perimeter swellings 3A (preferably at least three) which, upon deforming at least elastically, fasten the internal element to the external one.
  • the swellings 3A are distributed discontinuously around the perimeter of the internal element 3.
  • the swellings are located underneath (therefore towards a bottom of the container) a flange 5 on the internal element 5.
  • the said swellings are also preferably in contact with the said flange 5.
  • the swellings 3A extend in a mainly axial direction.
  • the at least two swellings 3A may be contained within a strip of the internal element 3 whose height H1 is comparable to the height H2 of the mouth 2A of the internal element 2.
  • the internal element 3 has at least one lateral surface 7 devoid of swellings 3A, which can be decorated and visible through the external element 2.
  • At least one of the swellings 3A - but preferably all of them - has a convex portion facing the outer container 2, the said convex portion being defined by a corresponding concave portion on an inner wall of the inner container 3.
  • At least one of the swellings 3A fastens the internal element to the external element, deforming also plastically (as is clearly visible in the detail in Figure 5 ).
  • the plastic deformation of at least one of the swellings ensures the internal element is effectively centred in and fastened to the external one.
  • the internal element (or container) 3 can feature a hermetically sealed film 8, which can be removed upon first use.
  • the film 8 (to be removed before use) is made of one or more of the following materials: aluminium, polylaminate made of aluminium/PE, PET, or PP.
  • the said film can also be hermetically constrained (for example using heat or ultrasonic welding, gluing, mechanical pressing) to the flange 5 on the internal element 3.
  • the internal element 3 may be made of a material comprising aluminium, preferably polylaminate.
  • aluminium may be coupled with one or more plastic films (PE-HDPE-EVOH-PA etc.) whose function is to protect the aluminium against oxidation or prevent the passage of ions, and to mechanically soften the aluminium while preventing creasing and breakages.
  • plastic films PE-HDPE-EVOH-PA etc.
  • the plastic deformability of at least one swelling 3A is particularly advantageous and the production of the internal element 3 is particularly economical, also resulting in a significant reduction in the overall weight of the packaging.
  • a further suitable and advantageous material for the internal element 3 could be a paper-based or cardboard-based material.
  • the paper may be lined or coated with a plastic material, for example PE, PLA, HDPE, PP, or with wax to prevent deformation upon contact with the product inside the internal container.
  • a plastic material for example PE, PLA, HDPE, PP, or with wax to prevent deformation upon contact with the product inside the internal container.
  • Use of recycled paper is also possible.
  • thermoformed material preferably PET, PETG, or a polycarbonate.
  • the thickness may be between 0.05 mm and 0.3 mm (in the case of aluminium-based material), between 0.5 mm and 2 mm (in the case of paper-based material) and between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm (in case of thermoformed plastic).
  • a flange 5 on the internal element 3 may be at least partially housed in a perimetral step 6 in the external element 2.
  • the flange 5 is essentially bent into a U shape (or curled), the U-shaped part being housed in the step 6.
  • the flange 5 can also be essentially bent into an S-shape, as is visible in the embodiment in Figure 6 (and Figure 7 ), the said S-shaped part being housed in the step 6.
  • At least part of the flange 5 may feature, from a sectional view, the same conformation as the step 6.
  • This configuration is particularly advantageous if the internal element 3 is thermoformed.
  • the container 1 may have a closure cap 9, preferably screw cap, equipped with a gasket 10.
  • the cap 9 When closed, the cap 9 at least partially sandwiches the said flange 5 between the gasket 10 and a free edge 11 of the external element, ensuring a perfect seal.
  • the container can also easily be disposed of as sorted waste and is extremely economical.
