Description

The invention relates to a container for

  quides, pastes or the like, having four lateral surfaces, which meet by delimiting four edges

side, and a bottom surface.

  Such containers are generally known in the art. They can be used in particular for

store liquids or pastes.

  The object of the invention is to indicate a container

like this.

  This problem is solved in accordance with the invention thanks to the fact that the bottom surface is constituted by four partial surfaces which are contiguous with each other

  forming a roof-like configuration.

  Preferably, the four partial surfaces of

  the bottom surface are limited by edges, respectively

  a first lower edge, which makes an angle

  below 90 'with the associated lateral edge, extends from the lower end points of two first opposite lateral edges, the first lower edges meet at a central point located in the center of the

  cross section, respectively a second edge

  lower extends from the lower end points of the second opposite lateral edges towards said

  central point, the lower end points of the

  side edges are located at a higher level

  that said central point, and the third lower edges

  extend from the lower end points

  laughing at the first lateral edges towards

  lower end points of the second side edges

rales.

  Thanks to this arrangement, the container is suitable for

  prayed as well to contain a mass of significant volume or for the evacuation of this mass completely out of the

  container. Therefore, the container is suitable for all

  especially for the storage of a pasty substance, such as canned tomatoes. In the state just described, the container has a relatively large volume so that it can store a

  relatively large amount of filling material

  wise. Simultaneously, this container allows to extract completely

its content.

  The first lateral edges and / or the first

  lower edges can be formed by welding.

  Advantageously, the container has an opening which, from

  preferably can be closed. The opening can be surrounded

  created by an outwardly projecting neck with a

  external thread. The neck is preferably welded.

  The opening can be closed by a zone of reduced thickness.

  pick and / or made of another material.

  Two opposite side walls can be re-

  linked together by means of a tab respectively

  free. Therefore, the container can be opened by grasping

  sizing each leg with one hand and spreading the

legs of each other.

  The container walls are preferably made

  Paper or polyethylene coated paper or polyethylene coated aluminum or are formed by a multi-layered structure of paper, aluminum

and / or polyethylene.

  The invention further relates to a cutout for a

  container according to the invention, of the type described below.

  This cut is characterized by the fact that it has four contiguous lateral surfaces and surfaces forming

  covers connecting respectively to two surfaces la-

  side by side, respectively two separate edges

  inwardly extending with an arrow shape from each outer lateral edge and the center line, while two respective fold lines extend inwardly with an arrow shape

  lower arrows in the form of arrows.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the outer lateral edges and / or the midline

  and / or the lower edges are formed by welding.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, it comprises an opening which, preferably, can be closed.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, -

  the opening is surrounded by a neck which protrudes ex-

  internally and has an external thread.

  According to another characteristic of the invention,

the neck is welded.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the opening is closed by an area of reduced thickness

  and / or made of another material.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, two free tabs are provided, at the level of the upper end.

  According to another characteristic of the invention ,.

  the side surfaces are made of paper or paper

  pier coated with polyethylene or aluminum coated with poly-

  ethylene or by means of a multilayer structure in

  paper, aluminum and / or polyethylene.

  Other features and advantages of the pre-

  sente invention will emerge from the description given below

  after reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

  embodiment, obtained from the cutout shown

  felt in Figure 9, of the container; and - Figure 15 shows an elevational view

  side of the container shown in Figure 14.

  The container 2 shown in Figure 1 has four side surfaces, which meet at four side edges, and a bottom surface. The bottom surface consists of four partial surfaces

  contiguous, delimiting a roof shape, which will be

  write below in more detail. The container 2 has two first opposite lateral edges 4 as well

  only two second opposite lateral edges 6.

  Referring to the perspective view of the fi-

  gure 7, the bottom surface is particularly clearly recognized. In all the drawings, the elements which correspond to each other have been designated by the same reference numerals, so that it is not necessary to describe them again each time. Respectively, a first lower edge 5, which forms an angle less than with the associated lateral edge 4, extends from the

  lower end points of the first two edges la-

  opposite sides 4. Since the first edges

  lateral 4 are vertical, the first lower edges

  Consequently, they extend upwards. The pre-

  lower edges 5 meet at a central point

  tral 8, which is located in the center of the cross section

(see also figure 4).

  As can also be seen in FIG. 7, respectively a second lower edge 10 extends from the lower end points 9 of the seconds

  opposite lateral edges 6 in the direction of said center point

  tral 8. The lower end points 9 of the second side edges 10 are located at a higher level than said central point 8. The second lower edges 10 therefore extend downward from the lower end points 9 Since the lower end points 9 of the second side edges 6 are located at a higher level than the central point 8 and that, also, this central point 8 is located at a level

  higher than the lower end points of the pre-

  side edges 4, the lower end points

  laughing 9 of the second side edges 6 are required

  higher than the end points

  lower of the first lateral edges 4. The constitution

  tion in the vertical direction is therefore as follows:

  the lower end points of the first edges la-

  4 are located at the very bottom. The central point

  8 is located a little higher. The lower end points

  laughing 9 of the second side edges 6 are still located

a bit higher.

  In addition, there are third lower edges.

  7 which extend from the end points

  of the first lateral edges 4 to the point

  lower end of the second lateral edges 6.

  As a result, the bottom surface is formed by four partial surfaces. Each partial surface has the shape of a flat triangle. Each partial surface is limited by a first lower edge 5, a

  second lower edge 10 and a third lower edge

7.

  FIG. 6 represents a cutout used for fa-

  brick the container of figures 1-5. This cutout for-

  could also be referred to as

  flat or development in the plane. The cut is

  killed from four adjoining side surfaces and surfaces

  forming covers connecting respectively to two sur-

  side faces located side by side, and which have res-

  pectively a form of roof. Respectively, two lower edges 5 extend inwards, in the form of an arrow, from each external lateral edge

  4 and the midline 4. In addition, it is provided respec-

  tively two fold lines 7 in the form of arrows, which extend inside the lower edges 5 in the form of arrows. To manufacture the container, the two lateral edges 6 are folded back. Then, the two external lateral edges 4 are connected together. Similarly, lower edges 5 respectively associated with each other are connected; consequently, the

  two central lower edges 5 and the two inner edges

  outer fairings 5. As a result, we then obtain the

  bottom surface already described above.

  The container can be made of paper or

  aluminum coated with polyethylene. You can also use

  use paper coated with polyethylene. Another possibility is to make the structure with a multi-layer paper / aluminum / polyethylene assembly. We can tighten this structure to evacuate all of the content, by

  example a canned tomato.

  In Figures 1-9, we see that the side edges

  rales 6 and the edges 7 and 10 of the bottom are formed by folds. These folds can also be referred to as "critical lines". The folds keep the bottom of the container in the deployed state so that the container

  can receive a significant amount of a material of rem-

  pleating. At the same time, it is possible to push back the contents out of the container. In this way, we can get out, by applying a pressure,

  the pasty substance, for example canned tomatoes.

  In Figure 4, we can see the most according to a

plan view.

  The central point 8 is the crossing point of the folds; it can be designated by the term "summit", as

in the case of a roof.

  The first lateral edges 4 and the first lower edges 5 are welded, that is to say that they are formed by means of a weld. In addition, the container

  2 is provided with an opening, which can be closed. The-

  vertex located at the upper end of the container is surrounded by a neck 1 which projects outside and has an external thread. Instead of the neck, it is also possible to provide a transverse weld. Similarly, the upper oblique shoulders 3 are welded together. The neck 1 provided with the thread is welded to the container at

level of zone 11.

  The folds at the bottom of the container are

  keep the container in the "swollen" state and allow it to be compressed like a tube of toothpaste. This

  guarantees a large volume content for the container.

  FIG. 8 illustrates the case where the container can be completely compressed, that is to say flattened so as to pressurize the entire contents under pressure (as for example

  example a toothpaste or better a concentrate of to-

  mates). Figure 9 shows a development in plan of another embodiment of a container. In

  in this case, the opening is formed by a zone 13 of thick

  reduced or made of another material. In addition,

  the opening is provided on one of the two walls above

  lid forming and not, but not at the level of the upper cutting line of the two upper end surfaces.

  Figure 10 shows an elevational view la-

  of another embodiment. Two side walls

  opposite rails are connected to one leg respectively

  free 16. Similarly, the two legs 16 are located facing

  opposite each other. The tabs 16 are intended to be grasped by the fingers for the opening of the welded part 12 of the container. Figure 11 shows a front view of

that same container.

  Figure 12 shows a front view of another embodiment. Here the weldable opening is also located in one of the two upper oblique end surfaces of the container. Inside the neck 14

  is located a zone 13 of reduced or real thickness

  other material, which can be easily perforated. Originally, this zone 13 is closed. We can punch it

  to empty the container. Using a capu-

  screw cap, which is threaded on the thread of the neck 14,

  the container can be closed after it has been partially emptied.

  The embodiment of Figures 14 and 15 is

  obtained from the cutout shown in Figure 9.

  The invention makes it possible to produce a container in divided form, the observable surface of which is large,

  but which also has a large capacity. The reci-

  pient is suitable preferably for a concentrate of to-

  mate and other substances in the form of pasta. The recipient

  has a pleasant exterior appearance. We solved the pro-

  pale from using paper also for tubes of toothpaste, tubes for tomato paste, tubes of mayonnaise and other tubes for storing

  pasta. On the closing thread a screw can be screwed

  positive closure with a point used for perfo-

  rer area 13. The multi-sided structure of the bottom

  puts to fill the container well in the form of a-

  arrow, and more precisely in the form of an empen-

  arrow swim. In combination with the oblique welds 5, which are inclined with respect to the bottom and converge towards the central point 8, and with the other delimitation lines or folds, a new original shape is created.

  multi-sided, which is particularly useful for

  read a structure allowing to have a maximum content and a maximum observable surface, which one can perceive in a sales shelving. The container conforms to

  the invention is therefore particularly suitable for replacing

  place previously known containers with a.

  cylindrical shape and made of extruded aluminum. It is possible to use paper, which is cheaper. The new container can be compressed more completely than known cylindrical tubes, is very economical and can easily receive prints in many colors.
