Description

Envase apilable.Stackable container

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un envase del tipo de los que están destinados a apilarse con otros iguales, de los estructurados mediante la combinación de un cuerpo contenedor de una tapa acoplable estancamente al mismo y en los que dicho cuerpo tiende a la configuración cilíndrica, de manera que su base es susceptible de apoyar sobre la tapa del envase inmediatamente inferior, con la debida estabilidad.The present invention relates to a container of the type of those that are intended to be stacked with other equals, of the structured ones by combining a container body of a lid that can be tightly attached thereto and in which said body tends to cylindrical configuration, so that its base is likely to rest on the lid of the container immediately lower, with due stability.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir un envase que en situación de apilamiento ofrezca unas óptimas prestaciones desde el punto de vista de estabilidad frente a cualquier esfuerzo tendente a la basculación lateral del mismo.The object of the invention is to achieve a container that in a stacking situation offers optimum performance from the point of view of stability in the face of any effort tending to the lateral tilting of the same.

Background of the invention

Son conocidos envases, generalmente de plástico, estructurados a partir de un cuerpo que tiende a la configuración cilíndrica, aunque ligeramente divergente hacia su embocadura, para facilitar el desmoldeo del mismo, cuerpo que se cierra con la colaboración de una tapa a modo de cazoleta invertida, generalmente también de naturaleza plástica, cuya base está afectada mayoritariamente por un rehundido que tiene una doble función, por un lado definir una acanaladura perimetral, de embocadura orientada hacia abajo, destinada a recibir en su seno a la embocadura del cuerpo, para conseguir un cierre estable y estanco, y por otro lado constituir una depresión para alojamiento del cuerpo de otro envase, en el apilamiento entre envases, impidiendo el desplazamiento transversal entre ellos y, en consecuencia, mejorando la estabilidad de dicho apilamiento.Containers are known, usually plastic, structured from a body that tends to configuration cylindrical, although slightly divergent towards its mouth, to facilitate its demoulding, body that closes with the collaboration of a lid as an inverted bowl, usually also of a plastic nature, whose base is affected mostly by a recess that has a double function, for one side define a perimeter groove, oriented mouth down, destined to receive in its bosom the mouth of the body, to achieve a stable and tight closure, and on the other hand constitute a depression for accommodation of another's body container, in the stacking between packages, preventing transverse displacement between them and, consequently, improving the stability of said stacking.

Esta solución evita ciertamente que un envase pueda deslizarse transversalmente con respecto a otro, cuando se encuentren apilados, pero sin embargo no impide, cuando el envase superior recibe un esfuerzo lateral de intensidad suficiente, que dicho envase "bascule" produciéndose el desplome del apilamiento.This solution certainly prevents a container can slide transversely with respect to another, when find stacked, but nevertheless does not prevent, when the container superior receives a lateral effort of sufficient intensity, which said "bascule" container causing the collapse of the stacking

Description of the invention

El envase que se preconiza ha sido concebido y estructurado en orden a resolver de manera plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, asegurando una perfecta estabilidad en el apilamiento entre envases, tanto frente a esfuerzos tendentes al deslizamiento transversal, como frente a esfuerzos tendentes a su vez a la basculación lateral.The recommended packaging has been conceived and structured in order to solve in a fully satisfactory manner the problem described above, ensuring a perfect Stacking stability between packages, both against efforts towards transverse sliding, as compared to efforts in turn to lateral tilt.

Para ello y de forma más concreta el envase que se preconiza centra sus características en el hecho de que su tapa de cierre incorpora un acusado resalte perimetral determinante de un alojamiento superior formal y dimensionalmente coincidente con la extremidad inferior del cuerpo, de manera que éste se acopla a la tapa del envase inmediatamente inferior por "enchufamiento", con un perfecto ajuste, lo que impide tanto el deslizamiento como la basculación lateral del envase superior, frente a esfuerzos laterales y de acuerdo con el objetivo de la invención.To do this and more specifically the container that It is recommended to focus its characteristics on the fact that its lid closing incorporates a marked perimeter highlight determining a formal accommodation dimensionally and coincidentally with the lower extremity of the body, so that it attaches to the lid of the container immediately below by "plugging", with a perfect fit, which prevents both the sliding as the side tilt of the upper container, against lateral efforts and in accordance with the objective of the invention.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención el citado resalte perimetral presenta su arista interna biselada de manera que determina una embocadura abocardada para el alojamiento definido en la tapa, lo que facilita la maniobra de acoplamiento del cuerpo de otro envase en el apilamiento entre ellos.According to another of the characteristics of the invention the aforementioned perimeter projection presents its internal edge beveled so that it determines a flared mouthpiece for the defined housing on the lid, which facilitates the maneuver of coupling of the body of another container in the stacking between they.

Finalmente y de acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención la tapa incorpora, también sobre la cara superior de su base, un nervio anular, preferentemente de perfil trapecial recto, destinado a encajar ajustadamente en un rehundido troncocónico de la base del cuerpo, lo que mejora la citada estabilidad.Finally and according to another of the characteristics of the invention the lid incorporates, also on the upper face of its base, an annular nerve, preferably of straight trapezoidal profile, designed to fit tightly into a recessed truncated cone of the base of the body, which improves the cited stability.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como el envase que la invención propone es del tipo de los que están constituidos mediante un cuerpo (1) y una tapa (2), el primero dotado de un reborde (3) en su embocadura, destinado a acoplarse ajustadamente en una acanaladura perimetral (4) de la tapa (2), obviamente orientada hacia abajo, tapa (2) cuyo faldón perimetral y externo (5) cuenta a su vez con un nervio perimetral e interno (6) que debe sobrepasar al reborde o nervio (3) durante la maniobra de cierre, para estabilizar definitivamente el mismo.In view of the figures outlined you can Observe how the package proposed by the invention is of the type of those that are constituted by a body (1) and a cover (2), the first endowed with a flange (3) in its mouth, intended for fit tightly in a perimeter groove (4) of the cover (2), obviously facing down, cover (2) whose skirt perimeter and external (5) in turn has a perimeter nerve and internal (6) that must exceed the flange or nerve (3) during closing maneuver, to definitely stabilize it.

En el ejemplo de realización práctica elegido el envase es además del tipo de los que el cuerpo (1) presenta relativamente cerca de su embocadura (3) un regruesamiento perimetral y prismático (7), que como se observa en la figura 2 en situación de cierre queda enfrentado al borde libre del faldón (3) de la tapa, haciendo dicho faldón inaccesible para poder realizar la apertura de la misma, de manera que dicho regruesamiento (7) actúa como un precinto que impide la apertura de la tapa en tanto no se desgarre un sector (8) del mismo, frangible a través de líneas de debilitamiento (9), cuya eliminación deja un espacio vacío a través del que resulta directa y fácilmente accesible el faldón (3) de la tapa (2), para su desacoplamiento.In the practical example chosen, the container is in addition to the type of which the body (1) presents relatively close to its mouth (3) a thickening perimeter and prismatic (7), which as seen in Figure 2 in closing situation faces the free edge of the skirt (3) of the lid, making said skirt inaccessible to perform the opening thereof, so that said thickening (7) acts as a seal that prevents the lid from opening as long as it does not a sector (8) is torn from it, frangible through lines of weakening (9), whose elimination leaves an empty space to through which the skirt is directly and easily accessible (3) of the cover (2), for decoupling.

Pues bien, de acuerdo ya con la invención, la tapa (2) cuenta con un acusado resalte perimetral (10) determinante de un alojamiento (11) sensiblemente cilíndrico, en el que penetra ajustadamente la extremidad inferior (12) del cuerpo (1) del envase inmediatamente superior, en el apilamiento entre envases, como se observa especialmente en la figura 2.Well, according to the invention, the cover (2) has a defendant perimeter projection (10) determinant of a housing (11) substantially cylindrical, which penetrates tightly the lower extremity (12) of the body (1) of the container immediately superior, in the stacking between packages, as Note especially in Figure 2.

Para facilitar el acceso del cuerpo (1) de cada envase al alojamiento (11) de la tapa (2) inmediatamente inferior, se ha previsto que el citado resalte perimetral (10) de la tapa esté dotado de un bisel (13) en su arista interna, determinante de una embocadura tronco-cónica y divergente para el alojamiento (11).To facilitate access of the body (1) of each container to the housing (11) of the lid (2) immediately below, it is foreseen that the aforementioned highlight (10) of the lid is equipped with a bevel (13) in its internal edge, determining a trunk-conical and divergent mouthpiece for the accommodation (11).

Finalmente y como complemento de la estructura descrita, la tapa (2) incorpora en su cara externa un nervio anular (14) de considerable diámetro, preferentemente de sección trapecial, del que es complementaria una acanaladura (15) operativamente establecida en el fondo del cuerpo (1), estando estos elementos, es decir nervio (14) y acanaladura (15), destinados a potenciar el acoplamiento machihembrado entre envases, en el apilamiento entre los mismos, como también se desprende de la observación de la figura 2.Finally and as a complement to the structure described, the cover (2) incorporates an annular nerve in its outer face (14) of considerable diameter, preferably of section trapecial, of which a groove is complementary (15) operatively established at the bottom of the body (1), being these elements, that is to say nerve (14) and groove (15), intended to enhance the tongue and groove coupling between containers, in the stacking between them, as also follows from the observation of figure 2.

Se consigue de ésta manera que en el apilamiento entre envases estos queden "enchufados" unos en otros, determinando una alta solidez posicional para dichos envases, es decir unas óptimas condiciones de apilamiento para los mismos.It is achieved in this way that in stacking between packages these are "plugged" into each other, determining a high positional strength for such containers, is say optimal stacking conditions for them.
