Detailed description of a preferred embodiment

Como pude verse de manera especialmente clara a través de la figura 1, el contenedor, designado en general por la referencia 1, está constituido por un cuerpo de contenedor 2, generalmente tronco-piramidal de base rectangular y una tapa de cierre 4 articulada a través de una banda de bisagra 5 formando una sola pieza.As I could see in a particularly clear way to through figure 1, the container, generally designated by the reference 1, consists of a container body 2, generally pyramid-shaped trunk with a rectangular base and a closing cover 4 articulated through a hinge band 5 forming a single piece.

En el cuerpo de contenedor 1 está configurada una embocadura de contenedor 20 con una cavidad perimetral 21, delimitada por las paredes laterales 22 y un faldón perimetral 3 paralelo a dichas paredes laterales y que está unido a las mismas a través de una pluralidad de pequeños tabiques transversales 30; además dicho cuerpo de contenedor presenta en una porción de sus aristas laterales resaltes 23 que se extiende desde la embocadura de contenedor para permitir un apilamiento entre contenedores adyacentes en estado abierto sin encajamiento.In container body 1 it is configured a container mouth 20 with a perimeter cavity 21, bounded by side walls 22 and a perimeter skirt 3 parallel to said side walls and which is attached thereto to through a plurality of small transverse partitions 30; furthermore said container body presents in a portion of its side edges protrusions 23 extending from the mouth container to allow stacking between containers adjacent in open state without fitting.

Adicionalmente, como es en sí conocido, en el faldón perimetral 3 está previsto un cierre precinto 6, previsto como una porción rompible 32 del mismo. Este cierre precinto 6 está previsto con una patilla de accionamiento 60 que se extiende perpendicularmente hacia abajo.Additionally, as it is known in itself, in the perimeter skirt 3 a seal 6 is planned, provided as a breakable portion 32 thereof. This seal 6 seal is provided with a drive pin 60 that extends perpendicularly down.

Haciendo referencia adicional a las figuras 2 y 3, puede verse que la tapa de cierre 4 tiene una pestaña perimetral 40 que se extiende hacia abajo y que en estado cerrado está alojada en la citada cavidad perimetral 21 de la embocadura de contenedor 20. Esta pestaña perimetral tiene resaltes transversales 41 que se extienden hacia el interior del cuerpo de contenedor para cooperar en estado cerrado con resaltes transversales 31 previstos en el interior del citado faldón perimetral.Making further reference to figures 2 and 3, it can be seen that the closing cover 4 has a flange perimeter 40 extending downward and in a closed state it is housed in said perimeter cavity 21 of the mouth of container 20. This perimeter tab has transverse protrusions 41 extending into the container body to cooperate in a closed state with transverse projections 31 provided inside said perimeter skirt.

Como se muestra aún más claramente a través de las figuras 4A a 4C como los resaltes transversales 41 están previstos como aletas biseladas por su extremo 410, el más cercano a borde superior de las paredes laterales 22 del cuerpo de envase 2, de modo que cuando dicha tapa de cierre 4 se enfrenta operativamente para su cierre dentro la cavidad perimetral 21 de la embocadura 20 del cuerpo de envase 2, dicha tapa de cierre es impulsada para centrarse por sí misma dentro de la mencionada cavidad perimetral merced a el tope que los resaltes 41 ejercen sobre el borde superior de las paredes perimetrales 22.As shown even more clearly through Figures 4A to 4C as the transverse projections 41 are provided as beveled fins at its end 410, the closest at the upper edge of the side walls 22 of the container body 2, so that when said closure cover 4 faces operatively for closure within the perimeter cavity 21 of the mouth 20 of the container body 2, said closure cap is driven to focus on itself within the aforementioned perimeter cavity thanks to the top that the projections 41 exert on the upper edge of the perimeter walls 22.

Adicionalmente en la parte superior de la tapa de cierre está configurada una cavidad 42 que, como será explicado más adelante, coopera con la parte inferior de un contenedor apilado por encima.Additionally at the top of the lid a cavity 42 is configured which, as will be explained later, cooperate with the bottom of a container stacked above.

Como puede verse adicionalmente también a través de la figura 2, unos nervios de apilamiento 24 están configurados en la proximidad de las esquinas de la parte exterior de la pared de fondo 25 del cuerpo de contenedor 2 que cooperan con la citada cavidad rectangular 42 de la tapa de cierre 4. Estos nervios de apilamiento 24 en forma de escuadra, están configurados en sus extremos libres con un resalte 26 de anchura aumentada respecto de la anchura del nervio respectivo. Esta configuración engrosada de los nervios de apilamiento proporciona un encajamiento más preciso y efectivo dentro de la cavidad 42 de la tapa de cierre 4 de otro contendor dispuesto por debajo resultado más sencillo y seguro el apilamiento de los contenedores.As can also be seen through of Figure 2, stacking ribs 24 are configured in the vicinity of the corners of the outside of the wall bottom 25 of container body 2 cooperating with said rectangular cavity 42 of the closure cap 4. These ribs of stacking 24 in the form of a square, are configured in their free ends with a shoulder 26 of increased width relative to the width of the respective nerve. This thickened configuration of stacking nerves provide more precise fit and effective within the cavity 42 of the closing cover 4 of another container arranged below the simplest and safest result the container stacking.

Además, en la pared de fondo 25 del cuerpo de contenedor 2 está prevista con un refuerzo 27 que se extiende a través de toda su longitud y que proporciona estabilidad estructural al cuerpo de contenedor.In addition, in the bottom wall 25 of the body of container 2 is provided with a reinforcement 27 that extends to throughout its length and that provides stability structural to the container body.

Tal y como será apreciado por los expertos en la técnica un contenedor conforme a lo anteriormente descrito puede ser producido de manera económica mediante procedimientos de moldeo de materiales termoplásticos.As will be appreciated by experts in the technique a container according to the above described can be produced economically by molding procedures of thermoplastic materials.

Suficientemente que se ha descrito la invención, solamente resta señalar que las realizaciones derivadas de cambios de forma y similares, así como las resultantes de una aplicación de rutina de lo anteriormente revelado deberán considerarse incluidas en su ámbito, de manera que la invención tan solo estará limitada por el alcance de las siguientes reivindicaciones.Enough that the invention has been described, it only remains to point out that the realizations derived from changes of form and the like, as well as those resulting from an application of Routine of the above should be considered included in its scope, so that the invention will only be limited for the scope of the following claims.
