FR2533531A1 - CONTAINER FOR SOFT DRINKS - Google Patents

Abstract

THE PRESENT INVENTION CONCERNS A CONTAINER FOR SOFT DRINKS, SUCH AS NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, BEER, SPARKLING WINES, ETC. IT IS CONSTITUTED BY A PRESSURIZED CONTAINER, OF CYLINDRICAL AND ELONGATED SHAPE, TRADITIONAL SEEN FROM THE EXTERIOR (TRADITIONAL BOX) BUT HAVING, INSIDE, A PARTITION SEPARATING TWO SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT BEDROOMS, OR THE SAME CONTAINER TWO DIFFERENT DRINKS; THESE ROOMS OPEN SEPARATELY FOR THE CONSUMPTION OF THE PRODUCT.

Description

The present invention relates to a container for drinks, and more

  especially for soft drinks,

  such as non-alcoholic beverages, beer,

  tillers, etc. As everyone knows, these drinks are packaged

  and sold either in a glass bottle with a hermetically sealed

  that, either in metal boxes under pressure of form

cylindrical and elongated.

  Everyone also knows the many practical and economic advantages offered by these canisters compared to glass bottles; they occupy a more important place on the market and are no longer

  exclusively-reserved for the packaging of

  and beer, but also that of products traditionally sold in bottles such as, for

sparkling wines.

  Despite these advantages, the metal "boxes"

  in question have several disadvantages.

  Since the contents of the most popular "boxes" correspond to the capacity of about two glasses (33 cl), they are often consumed only in part and the liquid left inside the container opens. is usually unused; on the one hand, the gas contained

  escapes and the drink has its characteristic characteristics.

  and, on the other hand, the product is often accidentally shed, especially in the presence of children or, more

  generally, when consumed outdoors, on the

  sports activities, walks, etc., that is

  that is to say when the use of drinks in "boxes" is the most widespread.

  On the other hand, the use of "boxes" more

  For example, the above-mentioned problem would only solve the problem in part, and in such a case the consumer (s) would have a sufficient quantity of drink in sufficient quantity.

  In addition, if we introduce more "boxes"

  In the market, it is estimated that they can not be very successful for consumers who have long been used to the external image of the "boxes" in question and, a wide spread of "boxes"

  various dimensions would cause storage problems.

  It is indeed obvious that the standardization of the dimensions of the "boxes" results in a reduction of the costs for the producers and for the resellers. The present invention thus aims primarily at solving the problems mentioned relating to boxes "common metal, realizing a new container for soft drinks that, while retaining the shape and dimensions traditional (although it is not necessary) and therefore the total capacity of" boxes "

  until today the most widespread, allows a consumption

  limited product content without the surplus being lost

  gas and / or is accidentally poured.

  This is one of the goals achieved by the "box" for

  soft drinks, which consists of a

  pressure vessel of cylindrical and elongated shape (like the traditional "box") and which is characterized by the introduction of an internal partition forming two distinct chambers with two independent openings

for the consumption of the product.

  The solution adopted for the manufacture of the

  The present invention consists in taking two distinct boxes

  and join them in the background, since the partition in

  question is constituted by the merits.

  This invention offers a further advantage represented by the possibility of using the two chambers for two different drinks such as, for example, orangea and lemonade or other This aspect, which at first sight

  may seem unimportant, could, on the contrary,

  to obtain a great commercial success, with the relative economic advantages, especially vis-à-vis children who, as everyone knows, like to consume drinks

  constantly different and in relatively small quantities.

  the characteristics and advantages of the pre-

  invention are better highlighted hereinafter by the

  detailed description of a preferred embodiment,

  with two variants, which is illustrated purely by way of indication and not by way of limitation by the following appended figures: FIG. 1 represents, in axonormetry, a schematic view of the container forming the subject of the invention;

  FIG. 2 represents, according to a first variant of

  cution, a schematic view in longitudinal section of the assembly zone of the two boxes with concave bottom which constitute the two separate chambers of the container object;

  FIG. 3 represents, according to a second variant of

  a situation similar to that of FIG. 2, except that the boxes respectively have a concave bottom and

a convex bottom.

  By taking the attached diagrams as references, the container for carbonated beverages subject to the

  vention is indicated by the number 1.

  From a schematic point of view, it is a question of

  metal container under pressure consisting of an envelope

  cylindrical pe (2) whose two ends are clogged by cldes disaues (3) of traditional type before, each, a

tongue (4) opening.

  Inside, this container is divided into two separate chambers (5) and (6) separated by a partition (7) which is rigidly fixed to the casing (2) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container (1) and half way

  between the two closing discs (3).

-

  FIG. 2 shows the partition (7) constituting

  killed by two concave bottoms (8) and (9) of two boxes

  corresponding (8 ') and (9') having a relatively

  duit and constituting the two chambers (5) and (6) which are assembled with, for example, a filler (10) -

  by welding or gluing This solution is particularly

  interesting from a technological point of view because it enables the invention to be manufactured without making revolutionary changes to the production lines and

  filling existing containers.

  Fig. 3 illustrates a second example of

  which plans to assemble, with the same input product

  (10) mentioned, the funds (11) and (12), relatively

  ve and convex, two boxes (11 ') and (12').

  It is obvious that these two examples are not limiting and that the container in question can be made differently; in particular, it will be possible to modify at will the characteristics of the partition, its position inside the container and the assembly technique as a specialist of the sector will judge it useful, without this initiative being able to leave the protection of

present monopoly.

  In addition, the shapes, dimensions and materials

  used can also be modified at will

depending on the needs.
