OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, as indicated in the title, refers to a container provided with different compartments and elements for the storage, transport and subsequent consumption of food products, focused mainly, although not exclusively, on the nutritional supplementation sector .

The object of this invention is to provide a solution hitherto unknown for several inconveniences that will be discussed later, mainly, it is intended to achieve a final result that allows to have several products in the same container, at the same time that said container also allows consumption direct from the products without the need for an additional mixer.

The container in question provides essential novelty characteristics and notable advantages over the known and used means for the same purposes in the current state of the art.

At present, the nutritional supplements sector grows exponentially. There is a wide variety of both drinkable and powdered products, in capsules, in pills, etc. In addition, it is very common to mix different products for consumption and thus obtain a nutritional contribution, both for nutritional, health or welfare purposes. People who consume this type of products are often forced to purchase and transport several containers, one for each product, and in turn, some mixer that allows them to make combinations and then consume the resulting final product.

There are also other cases such as those of soluble teas or other flavorings for beverages in which having a multi-compartment container provided with a mixing system will solve several problems.

The inconvenience of carrying several containers, the weight, the lack of practicality, the greater possibility of loss or forgetting of the different packages, the greater cost of acquiring the products separately, the use of non-disposable non-hygienic containers, the lack of a container With a built-in mixing system, even between liquids and solids, among many others, these are just some of the inconveniences not solved so far due to the absence of an appropriate solution.

The great variety of current containers, although they fulfill the function for which they have been provided in a fully satisfactory way, present as fundamental problems the previously mentioned inconveniences, mainly, the absence until now of an adequate single-use container for storage, transport, mixing and consumption of food products, whether these liquids or solids.

The container that the invention proposes resolves in a fully satisfactory manner the problems set forth above, providing a series of advantageous and novel features, and without this reducing any of its benefits in other aspects.

The proposed invention aims to provide an economic, ecological, practical, simple and easy-to-use solution, the effect of which would be a more adequate and comfortable control of different products for consumption, thus allowing to have a practical single-use container with different elements inside, ready to be mixed at the time you want, which has everything you need for consumption in any place, since it is easily transportable, and all this, with a reduced cost due to the simplicity of the invention.

The present invention has its field of application in the container sector, and more specifically in that of portable mixing containers.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the state of the art we find some documents related to the invention in question, although none of them provide the same advantageous characteristics nor effectively solve existing problems.

Thus, in document ES 2 371 816 we find a mixer adapted to mix and / or knead the ingredients arranged in a container comprising at least one axis of rotation associated with actuation means that allow said mixer to rotate with respect to said axis of rotation, a first eccentric zone that also rotates with respect to the axis of rotation, two final sections, at least one of the final sections being adapted to engage the actuation means, and a first connecting section and a second joining section that join the eccentric one with each final section, characterized in that it also comprises at least a second eccentric zone offset by a certain angle with respect to the first eccentric zone, and a third joint section that joins the first eccentric zone and the second eccentric zone.

In the aforementioned document it presents several drawbacks such as that the products being soluble do not need any mixer or kneader, and that being reusable presents allergen-related problems at the time of use for various foods.

On the other hand, in document ES 2 561 153 an apparatus is provided for mixing a liquid selected from the group consisting of crude oil, refinery streams and combinations thereof, until it becomes generally homogeneous, the apparatus comprising: a container to contain the liquid at a liquid level; an input device that can move with the liquid level and adapted to remove a portion of the liquid from a part of the container; a driving force device with an aspiration to remove liquid through the inlet device, fluidly connected to the inlet device, and a discharge for discharge of the liquid with a driving force towards a different part of the container; at least one mixer comprising a distributed set of jet mixers, the jet mixers being nozzles or eductors, and the at least one mixer being connected by fluid to the discharge; wherein the input device comprises a floating aspiration at an upper part of the liquid level; wherein the distributed set of jet mixers is positioned to extract liquid from the bottom of the container; and in which the driving force device is a pump for the liquid to circulate back to the container, characterized by the fact that the jet mixers form an angle at least generally upward.

In the mentioned document we find the inconvenience of the presence of so much mechanics that makes the manufacturing more complex and expensive.

In turn, in document ES 2 226 589 a container with mixing vessel is claimed, whose purpose is the economical, comfortable, safe and hygienic dispensation of drinks and food combinations, is characterized by being constituted by a lower body and an upper body, the latter of transparent material, joined together, which are separated by a separating membrane of impermeable material, the upper body presenting an upper perimeter edge that tightly receives a cover-seal, which seals the interior of the container, a handle of length greater than the height of the upper body being disposed inside the upper body, which is fixed at one end to the separating membrane, a perimeter sealing strip being disposed in the perimeter zone of the cover-seal.

The drawbacks regarding the proposed invention are mainly that this container only offers to mix or store products provided above. You have to fill and wash, as well as store the container until the next use, being easy for the products to go

depositing odors, or flavors to the containers, or other allergen problems. The empty container must also be stored until the next use.

Thus, we see that until now there is no known container that, due to its novel characteristics, resolves the aforementioned problems both in terms of the documents cited and other inventions or traditional systems that we find in the state of the art.

Taking into consideration the cases mentioned and analyzed the arguments

In conjunction with the invention proposed in this document, a final result is produced in which significant differentiating aspects are provided compared to the current state of the art, and where a series of advances are made in the elements already known with their advantages corresponding.
