Description

Contenant bicomposant en matière plastique.Two-component plastic container.

La présente invention a pour objet un contenant composé de deux récipients emboîtés en matière plastique. The subject of the present invention is a container made up of two fitted plastic containers.

Selon l'invention, le premier récipient est en forme de seau avec un fond, une paroi latérale et une ouverture supérieure, au-dessous de laquelle est prévue une jupe dont la paroi est espacée de celle du récipient pour constituer un épaulement sur lequel prend appui une couronne rapportée, disposée autour de la paroi évasée de l'ouverture dudit récipient et creusée d'une gorge dans laquelle s'engage, à force, l'embase d'une jupe du second récipient en forme de pot et de plus petite capacité, avec un fond, une paroi venant au contact de la face interne dudit premier récipient et un couvercle emboîté sur le bord de son ouverture. According to the invention, the first container is in the form of a bucket with a bottom, a side wall and an upper opening, below which is provided a skirt whose wall is spaced from that of the container to form a shoulder on which takes support an attached crown, arranged around the flared wall of the opening of said container and hollowed out of a groove in which engages, by force, the base of a skirt of the second container in the form of a pot and smaller capacity, with a bottom, a wall coming into contact with the internal face of said first container and a lid fitted on the edge of its opening.

On peut ainsi, d'une manière automatique, remplir le premier récipient en forme de seau, le fermer en y emboîtant le second récipient en forme de pot, remplir ledit pot et l'obturer au moyen de son couvercle. It is thus possible, automatically, to fill the first container in the form of a bucket, to close it by fitting in the second container in the form of a pot, to fill said pot and to close it by means of its lid.

Les détails de ce contenant, ainsi que les avantages qu'il procure, ressortiront mieux de la description qui va suivre se référant aux dessins annexés sur lesquels:
La figure 1 représente en élévation et en demi-coupe les deux récipients emboîtés constituant le contenant dont il s'agit.The details of this container, as well as the advantages which it provides, will emerge more clearly from the description which follows, referring to the appended drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows in elevation and in half-section the two nested containers constituting the container in question.

La figure 2 montre en coupe et à échelle agrandie le détail de l'emboîtement et du verrouillage du second récipient dans le premier. Figure 2 shows in section and on an enlarged scale the detail of the nesting and locking of the second container in the first.

La figure 3 représente en coupe et à échelle agrandie le détail de la fixation du couvercle sur le second récipient. Figure 3 shows in section and on an enlarged scale the detail of the fixing of the cover on the second container.

Comme l'illustre la figure 1, le contenant comprend un premier récipient 1 en forme de seau avec un fond 2 et une paroi latérale 3 légèrement tronconique, voire cylindrique. La paroi qui délimite l'ouverture 4 du récipient 1 est plus évasée et comporte à son extrémité une lèvre 5 en saillie vers l'extérieur. En-dessous de cette lèvre 5, la paroi 3 forme une jupe circulaire 6 légèrement espacée de la face externe de ladite paroi pour constituer un épaulement 7. Ces détails sont visibles figure 2. As illustrated in Figure 1, the container comprises a first container 1 in the form of a bucket with a bottom 2 and a side wall 3 slightly frustoconical, even cylindrical. The wall which delimits the opening 4 of the container 1 is more flared and has at its end a lip 5 projecting outwards. Below this lip 5, the wall 3 forms a circular skirt 6 slightly spaced from the external face of said wall to form a shoulder 7. These details are visible in FIG. 2.

Dans cette jupe 6 sont prévus deux orifices 8 diamétralement opposés destinés à l'articulation d'une anse 9, comme le montre la figure 1. In this skirt 6 are provided two diametrically opposite orifices 8 intended for the articulation of a handle 9, as shown in FIG. 1.

Autour de la zone plus évasée de la paroi 3 délimitant l'ouverture 4 du récipient 1, est rapportée une couronne 10 comportant une lèvre 11 dirigée vers l'intérieur. Cette couronne est creusée d'une gorge 12 dont l'entrée est rétrécie. Ces détails sont visibles figure 2. Around the more flared area of the wall 3 delimiting the opening 4 of the container 1, there is added a crown 10 comprising a lip 11 directed inwards. This crown is hollowed out with a groove 12, the entrance of which is narrowed. These details are visible in Figure 2.

La lèvre 11 de cette couronne 10 est retenue par le rebord 5 entourant l'ouverture 4 du récipient 1 et prend appui par son bord inférieur 13 sur l'épaulement 7 que réserve la jupe 6 comme le montre également la figure 2. The lip 11 of this crown 10 is retained by the rim 5 surrounding the opening 4 of the container 1 and is supported by its lower edge 13 on the shoulder 7 which the skirt 6 reserves, as also shown in FIG. 2.

Le second récipient 14 susceptible d'être emboîté dans le précédent 1 est en forme de pot et de capacité plus faible. I1 comporte un fond 15 et une paroi latérale 16 épousant la face interne de la paroi 3 du seau 1, tel que le représente la figure 1. The second container 14 capable of being fitted in the previous 1 is in the form of a pot and of lower capacity. I1 has a bottom 15 and a side wall 16 matching the internal face of the wall 3 of the bucket 1, as shown in FIG. 1.

La zone supérieure de la paroi 16 entourant l'ouverture 17 du pot 14 est plus évasée et comporte une lèvre d'extrémité 18 saillante vers l'extérieur. En-dessous de cette lèvre la paroi 16 du pot 14 est entourée d'une jupe 19 espacée de la face externe de ladite paroi 16 pour constituer un épaulement 20. Le bord inférieur de cette jupe 19 comporte un rebord saillant 21 dirigé vers l'extérieur. Ces détails sont visibles figure 3. The upper zone of the wall 16 surrounding the opening 17 of the pot 14 is more flared and has an end lip 18 projecting outwards. Below this lip, the wall 16 of the pot 14 is surrounded by a skirt 19 spaced from the external face of said wall 16 to form a shoulder 20. The lower edge of this skirt 19 has a projecting rim 21 directed towards the outside. These details are visible in Figure 3.

Le second récipient 14 est susceptible d'être obturé par un couvercle 22 en forme de capsule creuse munie d'une jupe 23 s'évasant vers le bas en réservant un logement interne 24 délimité par un bossage circulaire 25 s'étendant vers l'intérieur, comme le montre la figure 3. The second container 14 is capable of being closed by a cover 22 in the form of a hollow capsule provided with a skirt 23 which widens downwards by reserving an internal housing 24 delimited by a circular boss 25 extending inwards. , as shown in Figure 3.

Le second récipient 14, emboîté dans le premier récipient 1, est retenu par le rebord 21 de sa jupe supérieure 19 engagé, à force, dans la gorge 12 que réserve la couronne rapportée 10 et dont l'entrée est rétrécie. The second container 14, fitted into the first container 1, is retained by the rim 21 of its upper skirt 19 engaged, by force, in the groove 12 that the added crown 10 reserves and whose entry is narrowed.

Le couvercle 22 est retenu sur l'ouverture 17 du second récipient 14 par le bossage circulaire 25 de sa jupe 23 qui coopère avec la lèvre 18 entourant le bord de la paroi 16 dudit récipient 14, comme le montre la figure 3. La jupe 23 du couvercle 22 s'étend jusqu'à l'épaulement 20 du pot 14. The cover 22 is retained on the opening 17 of the second container 14 by the circular boss 25 of its skirt 23 which cooperates with the lip 18 surrounding the edge of the wall 16 of said container 14, as shown in Figure 3. The skirt 23 of the cover 22 extends to the shoulder 20 of the pot 14.

Ce contenant offre un aspect esthétique. I1 est d'un montage pratique et surtout automatisable. This container offers an aesthetic appearance. I1 is of a practical assembly and especially automatizable.

En effet, on peut, d'une manière automatique, remplir le récipient 1 livré avec sa couronne 10 montée; fermer ledit récipient 1 avec le second récipient 14 en l'emboîtant dans le seau; remplir le second récipient 14 et le fermer en fixant le couvercle 22. Indeed, it is possible, automatically, to fill the container 1 delivered with its crown 10 mounted; close said container 1 with the second container 14 by fitting it into the bucket; fill the second container 14 and close it by fixing the cover 22.
