Description

DESCRIPTION

Dosing container of a granulated or powdery product

Technical field

The present invention refers to a container that has the particularity of having a lid that offers the possibility of pouring the product through a grid with a plurality of holes or inserting a spoon to catch a larger quantity.

State of the art

Document US4658980A describes a container lid comprising a cover element, at least one opening in the cover element, lid means including at least one lid for closing said opening, flexible hinge means connecting the lid means with the cover element and defining a free edge opposite said hinge means. and tamper evident means in the form of arrowhead locks positioned at opposite corners of said free edge secured to the cover member, including a breakable tape connecting said latches to said cover means.

On the other hand, document MX2007011536A describes a lid for a container with an integral release strip with tamper-evident function. A release strip for the tamper-evident function is molded as a part attached to a base member that forms the closure. The release strip is attached to the base of at least one brittle mesh and hinged around the brittle mesh to overlap the leading edges of one or more flaps formed in the serving lid. The ultrasonic welds are attached to overlap the release strip to the flaps adjacent to the flaps to provide a tamper-evident function. The shape of the serving lid provides stacking where the base flange of the container will fit over the upper portion of the lid, including brittle meshes to allow the fit of one container bottom with the container closure of the next, to allow Containers are stacked on a shelf without substantial slippage or tilt damage.

However, none of said documents describes a dosage container for a granular or powdery product as claimed in the present invention.

Explanation of the invention

It is an object of the present invention, as stated in the present specification, a dispenser container for a granulated or powdery product, such as, for example, a dispenser container of the type used to dispense spices, also commonly referred to as spices. This type of container usually has a top cover that offers the possibility of pouring the product through a grid made of holes or inserting a spoon to catch a larger quantity.

However, the present invention has the particularity of comprising a double hinge or opening, in such a way that a first hinge allows the dispensing grid to be released, while a second hinge allows the grid to be folded down and gives access to the inside of the container, in such a way that it is possible to insert a spoon or pour a larger quantity of product. All according to claim 1 that accompanies the present specification. Particular embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

More specifically, the dosing container for a granulated or powdery product that comprises a container body closed at the top by a lid that comprises, in turn, three bodies articulated to each other, and where the first body of the lid is configured as a configured frame dimensionally for fixation on an upper edge of the container body.

The second body of the cover is arranged concentrically with respect to the first body, the first body and the second body of the cover being articulated to each other by means of a first hinge, in such a way that the second body is movable between:

(i) a first operative pouring position that enables the pouring of a product contained inside the container body through through holes distributed in the second body of the lid; Y

(ii) a second open operative position that enables access to the interior of the container body through a central space of the first body;

The third body is configured as a hinged lid between the first operative pouring position and a closed or closed position on the second body, through a second hinge that joins the third body with the first body.

Throughout the description and the claims, the word "comprise" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will be derived in part from the invention and in part from the practice of the invention. The following examples and drawings are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to restrict the present invention. Furthermore, the invention covers all possible combinations of particular and preferred embodiments indicated herein.

Brief description of the drawings

A series of drawings that help to better understand the invention and that expressly relate to an embodiment of said invention, which is illustrated as a non-limiting example thereof, will now be described very briefly.

FIG 1 - Shows three operative views (A = closed; B = first operative position; C = second operative position) of the dosing container of a granulated or powdery product, object of the present invention.

FIG 2 - Detail view of the lid in the three operating views (A - B - C) in correspondence with the operating positions of the dosing container described in FIG. 1

Detailed explanation of an embodiment of the invention

As can be seen in the attached figures, the dispenser container of the invention shown in FIG. 1 comprises a container body (1) that closes at the top by a lid (2) which in turn comprises three bodies (21 ; 22; 23) articulated with each other. Thus, the first body (21) is a frame whose dimensions are configured to join integrally with the upper edge of the body (1) of the dosing container.

The attached figures show three operative operations of the lid (2) that closes the body of the container (1), these operative positions are: a closed operative position (A), where the lid (2) is totally closed, with all the bodies (21; 22; 23) bent down on themselves; the first operative position (B) or pouring, with the third body (23) open and the second body (22) closed; and finally a second operative position (C) or open, with the second and third bodies (22, 23) open.

This first body (21) is materialized, in a particular embodiment, in a plastic material that is integrated with the upper edge of the container through an inverted "U" profile, so that said first body (21) of the lid (2) that is firmly fixed on the upper edge of the container body (1).

A second body (22) or grid is arranged concentrically to the first body (21), which is configured to pour the product housed in the container body (1) through a plurality of through holes (3) evenly distributed in said second body (22) and communicating the inside of the container body (1) with the outside of the container in a first operative pouring position.

The second body (22) of the container is hingedly connected to the first body (21) through a first hinge (4). Thus the second body (22) can be folded between the first operative pouring position (position B) through the holes (3) and a second operative or open position (position C) that, for example, allows inserting a spoon or pouring the product with a greater quantity through a central space (7) of the first body (21).

Finally, the third body (23) with external dimensions identical to those of the first body (21) is configured as a hinged lid between the first operative pouring position (position B) and the closed or closed position (position A) on the second body (22). The third body (23) has the particularity of being attached to the first body (21) through a second hinge (5), which allows the third body (23) described to be folded down. Furthermore, in correspondence with each one of the holes (3) of the lower surface of the third body (23) emanate a plurality of protrusions (6) with dimensions suitable for the introduction of each protuberance (6) in its corresponding hole.

Claims (3)
