TITLE: ?CONTAINER FOR THE ACCOMMODATION OF AT LEAST ONE PRODUCT, PROCEDURE FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE SAME AND METHOD OF CLOSING THE CONTAINER?

DESCRIPTION

FIELD OF FOUND

The present invention relates to a container for housing at least one product, for example of the food type. In particular, the container object of the present invention can find advantageous application in the food packaging sector to ensure the supply of products intact and in any way altered. The present invention also relates to a process for making said container as well as a method of closing it.

STATE OF ART

As is known, food containers without tamper-evident safety mechanisms are available on the market. The containers today made with tamper-proof mechanisms are mainly used in the pharmaceutical sector to signal the danger of a possible tampering or replacement of the product, thus guaranteeing the consumer the integrity of the product. of the latter. However, it is noted that these containers have a structurally complex closing mechanism, which is difficult to arm quickly.

A tamper-evident type of container? described in patent application No. BE410524A; this container comprises a magazine which can be closed following engagement between a first coupling portion carried by a closure system and a second coupling portion carried by the magazine itself. The first hooking portion has two foldable flaps configured to engage inside a second hooking portion, while the latter is? defined by a tab folded into a "V" having a pocket adapted to receive the first hooking portion. The flaps are then configured to be inserted into the pocket and engage with the second hooking portion: following a first opening condition of the container, the flaps are configured to detach from the closure system.

The Applicant has pointed out that this container has important limitations and drawbacks. ? in fact it is useful to note how this container does not allow to give clear evidence of tampering in the eventuality? that the container has been previously opened. In fact, the user senses the integrity? of the container exclusively on the basis of the perception of the resistance exerted by the first hooking portion on the second hooking portion, without having a visual evidence of tampering.

Furthermore, this container realizes a complex engagement between the first and the second engagement portion, which cannot be? be performed in an automated manner, n? least of all quickly by an operator.

A second example of a tamper-evident container? described in patent application No. US 2011/180537 A1, which comprises a lockable magazine following engagement between a first hooking portion carried by a closure system and a second hooking portion carried by the magazine. In detail, the first hooking portion comprises a tab engaged to the closure system by means of a weakening portion and configured to engage inside a single opening formed on a panel brought from the magazine. In particular, the opening of the second hooking portion ? entirely counter-shaped to the first coupling portion and ? configured to align with the latter, so as to allow its insertion and define a condition for closing the container. Following the opening of the container, the first hooking portion is then configured to separate from the closing system, giving evidence of a first opening of the container.

The Applicant has found that the container described in US patent application No. US 2011/180537 A does not allow to define an effective closure, capable of giving correct evidence of tampering with the container. In fact, the Applicant has found that the first hooking portion can be easily extracted from the opening formed on the panel engaged in the magazine without said first hooking portion separating from the closure system.

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

Purpose of the present invention? therefore that of substantially solving at least one of the drawbacks and/or limitations of the previous solutions.

A first objective of the present invention ? that of making available a container which can effectively give evidence of tampering following an attempt to open it for the first time. A further object of the present invention is to provide a container which has a tamper evident safety device which can be easily armed both automatically and by an operator. ? then purpose of the present invention ? that of making available a container that is simple and quick to make, which makes it possible to minimize material consumption and consequently production and transport costs. A further object of the present invention ? that of making available a container that is flexible in its use and can be effectively used on different types of containers made of sheet material. ? Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to provide a container capable of preventing contact between one or more? products housed in the container itself in the event that the latter is closed by a user.

These aims and others, which will become clearer from the following description, are substantially achieved by a container, a method for manufacturing it and a method for closing the container in accordance with what is expressed in one or more of the joined claims and/or of the following aspects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Container

With 1 ? Overall, a container for housing products, for example of the food type, has been indicated. As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the container 1 comprises at least one support 2 made of sheet material, defining an internal volume 3, configured to house products, for example pizza, sandwiches or wraps. In particular, the support 2 has at least one base 2a having a rectangular shape suitable for receiving the product, starting from which emerges at least one side wall which defines a free edge 6 and, together with the base 2a, delimits the internal volume 3. Of done, the lateral wall perimetrically delimits the base 2a of the support 2 and ? configured to emerge from the latter in such a way as to define a three-dimensional conformation of the same support 2.

In the united figures ? shown is a preferential but non-limiting configuration of the support 2, which has a quadrangular prismatic shape (for example flat side walls having a rectangular shape). However, the possibility is not excluded to make a support 2 having a different shape, for example triangular or trapezoidal prismatic. From a dimensional point of view, the lateral wall has a lower lower height than a longitudinal extension of the same lateral wall. In other words, the lateral wall defines a lateral portion of reduced height to substantially define a tray, configured for housing products having a limited height.

In particular, the support 2 has a first and a second lateral wall 4a, 4b adjacent to each other and configured to engage in such a way as to keep the support 2 in a stable three-dimensional configuration. In detail, does the first side wall 4a extend along a predetermined development direction between two ends? longitudinal sections which, following the formation of the support 2, define respective corner portions. The second lateral wall 4b also extends along a predetermined direction of development transversely, optionally orthogonally, with respect to the first lateral wall 4a, between respective ends? longitudinal: the first and second side walls 4a, 4b are therefore adjacent to each other at their respective end portions. The first and second lateral walls 4a, 4b, following the achievement of the stable three-dimensional configuration, are therefore engaged with each other to define an external corner of the support 2.

In detail, the first side wall can? have at least one? air vent opening 17 defined in correspondence with at least one? end? longitudinal of the same first lateral wall 4a, configured to allow communication between the internal volume 3 of the support 2 and the external environment. The air vent opening 17 therefore allows the air and/or steam present in the internal volume 3 to be expelled, so as to maintain a level of humidity constant inside the container itself and consequently preserving the consistency and flavor of the food product.

The air vent 17 also has at least one undercut portion configured to engage with a locking tongue 70 carried by a junction portion 18, to define the stable three-dimensional configuration of the support. As can be seen for example in figures 3, 4, 6 and 7, the first side wall 4a can have at least two air vent openings 17 respectively arranged at the ends? longitudinal opposites of the first lateral wall 4a. Each air vent opening 17 ? therefore engageable to a respective locking tab 70 carried by the second side wall 4b.

As previously mentioned, the second side wall 4b can have a junction portion 18 configured to at least partially overlap the first side wall 4a externally to the internal volume 3 of the support 2. The junction portion 18 comprises an overlapping tongue on which ? defined, for example following the creation of a notch in the same overlapping tab, by a through opening delimited by a perimetric edge having a substantially circular shape.

The second side wall 4b can? it also has a locking tab 70 defined on the overlapping tab and configured to lock into the air passage opening 17. The locking tab 70 is delimited by the perimeter edge of the through opening and movable by rotation with respect to the same perimeter edge. In particular, the locking tab 70 ? movable by rotation between a position in which it faces the air vent opening 17, in which it lies substantially parallel to the first side wall 4a, and a position in which it is folded inside the air vent opening 17, binding the first and the second sidewall 4a, 4b. The locking tongue 70, in this last position, is then arranged in engagement inside the undercut of the air vent 17 so as to achieve the stable three-dimensional configuration of the support 2. ? it is also useful to note how the locking tab 70 has a semicircular shape counter-shaped to the undercut portion of the air passage opening 17, configured to allow its insertion and connection with the latter.

Support 2, in its triangular prismatic shape not shown in the accompanying figures, can present a third lateral wall 4c emerging from the base 2a starting from an external perimetric edge of the base 2a. The first, second and third lateral walls 4a, 4b, 4c emerge from the base 2a of the support along the same direction, so as to delimit the internal volume 3 of the support along the perimeter. In this configuration, the first, second and third side walls 4a, 4b and 4c are therefore adjacent to each other, defining the triangular prismatic structure of the container in height. In this last configuration, the third lateral wall 4c can? present a locking tongue 70 configured to engage with a respective air passage opening 17 defined on the first side wall 4a.

Support 2, in its quadrangular prismatic shape, can further comprise a fourth lateral wall 4d emerging from the outer perimeter edge of the base 2a along the same direction with respect to the first, second and third lateral walls 4a, 4b, 4c: the fourth lateral wall 4d, in cooperation with the latter, delimits the height of the quadrangular prismatic structure of the support 2. As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the first and third side walls 4a, 4c are mutually opposite with respect to the base 2a of the support. In the same way, the second and fourth side walls 4b, 4d face each other and are opposed with respect to the base 2a of the support. In fact, the first and third walls 4a, 4c respectively define a front wall and a rear wall of the support, joined together by means of the second and fourth walls 4b, 4d which define respective side walls of the support. The extremities? of the first, second, third and fourth side walls 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d therefore delimit the free edge 6.

As shown for example in figures 3-6, support 2 can? comprising a first flap 2c emerging from at least one section of the free edge 6 resulting at least partly facing the base 2a. The first flap 2c can? be folded with respect to the section of free edge 6 to which ? engaged to define, in cooperation with the free edge 6 and/or with a second flap 26 of the support itself, a passage opening 5 configured to put the internal volume 3 in communication with the external environment.

The first edge 2c emerges starting from at least one section of the free edge 6 defined by at least one of the first, second, third and fourth side walls 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d. However, it cannot be excluded that the first edge 2c can emerge from a section of the free edge 6 defined by one or more? side walls 4.

In the united figures ? illustrated is a first flap 2c emerging, in a non-limiting way, exclusively from a portion of the free edge 6 defined by the first wall 4a and facing the third wall 4c. However, in an embodiment of the container not shown in the accompanying figures, the presence of a plurality of of first support flaps 2c each of which emerges from a respective lateral wall.

In detail, each first flap 2c extends along the entire longitudinal development of the lateral wall to which it? engaged. In other words, each first flap 2c extends from the lateral wall to which ? engaged along the entire section of free edge 6 defined by it. From a structural point of view, the first flap 2c has a limited extension along a direction facing the internal volume 3 of the support 2, so as to limit access to the internal volume 3 and consequently maximize the extension of the passage opening 5: the first flap 2c therefore allows easy insertion of the food product into the internal volume 3. In detail, the extension of the first flap 2c along a direction entering the internal volume 3 can be between 2 cm and 10 cm, while the ratio between the extension of the first flap 2c along the direction entering the internal volume 3 and the extension of the lateral wall to which ? busy can? be between 0.06 and 0.3.

Support 2 can? further comprise a separator 14 extending into the internal volume 3 of the support interposed between the first flap 2c and the base 2a of the same support 2, configured to divide a central area of the support suitable for receiving the product, from a peripheral area of the support in correspondence of which ? defined the first flap 2c. In detail, the separator 14 ? joined integrally to the first flap 2c and folded relative to the latter along an extreme edge 6a opposite the free edge 6. it is also useful to note how the separator is also engaged to the base 2a of the support by mechanical interference or by gluing: the separator 14 therefore develops in width between the extreme edge 6a and the base 2a. The separator 14 can you? extend transversely, optionally orthogonally, to the first flap 2a to which ? engaged, thus presenting equal height with respect to each side wall 4. The separator 14 can? develop in length substantially for the entire extension of the first flap 2c, substantially defining a channel delimited by the support 14, by the first flap 2c and by the lateral wall 4 to which the latter is connected. united by piece.

The separator 14 can? however extend for a plurality? of discrete portions of the extreme edge 6a, defining an equal number of distinct and spaced channels. The separator 14 ? also configured to divide the internal volume 3 of the support into a first sub-chamber 40 configured to receive the product and into a second sub-chamber 45 delimited by the channel and arranged in correspondence with a perimetric area of the support 2 (figure 10).

The channel defined by the separator ? arranged at least in part facing the air vent 17, so as to allow the air and/or steam present inside the second sub-chamber 45 to be expelled from the support through the air vent 17. The separator 14 can? then be interposed between the side wall of the support on which ? defined the air vent opening 17 and the central area of the support adapted to receive the product. The separator 14 can? furthermore comprise at least one through access configured to place the first and second sub-chambers 40, 45 in fluid communication: through the through access, the air and/or steam present inside the first sub-chamber 40 are conveyed inside the second sub-chamber 45 and expelled through the air vent opening 17. From a structural point of view, the through access can? have a circular or polygonal shape, with dimensions between 20% and 90% of the width of the separator 14 itself, so as to allow an effective transfer of fluid between the first and second subchamber 40, 45 without compromising the structural strength of separator 14. ? It is useful to note how each through access is offset with respect to an air access opening 17, so as to prevent a user from inserting a finger and/or a tool through the through access and the air access opening 17 to contaminate the food product. The separator 14 can? further understand a plurality? of accesses passing between them equidistant and distributed along the entire length of the same separator 14, configured to maximize the transfer of fluid between the first and second sub-chambers 40, 45.

Support 2 can? present a single separator 14 joined in one piece to a single first flap 2c and therefore facing the first side wall 4a or can it? present a plurality of separators 14, respectively joined in one piece to one or more? of the first flaps 2c of the support.

The support 2 comprises at least a second flap 26 emerging from at least one section of the free edge 6 of the support 2, optionally adjacent to the support flap 2c. Also the second flap 26 ? at least partly facing the base 2a of the support, in such a way as to define a folded portion along the edge section of the book 6 to which ? engaged and delimiting the perimeter of the opening of passage 5.

As shown in the accompanying figures, the second flap 26 has a rectangular shape extending along the entire free edge section defined by the side wall to which it is located. engaged. From a structural point of view, the second flap 26 has a limited extension along a direction facing the internal volume 3 of the support 2, so as to maximize the extension of the passage opening 5 and allow easy insertion of the food product into the volume interior 3. In detail, the extension of the second flap 26 along a direction entering the interior volume 3 can? be between 2 cm and 10 cm. The ratio between the extension of the second flap 26 along the direction entering the internal volume 3 and the extension of the lateral wall to which ? busy can? be between 0.06 and 0.3.

From a dimensional point of view, the second flap 26 ? substantially identical to the first flap 2c. As visible from the joined figures, the second edge 26 ? at least partially superimposed on the first flap 2c. In detail, the second flap? defined adjacent to the first flap 2c, resulting superimposed on the first flap 2c at one? longitudinal of the latter. The second flap 26, in the closed condition of the container 1, is therefore at least partly interposed between the same first flap 2c and the closure system 7.

As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the support 2 comprises a plurality of second flaps 26 each emerging from respective portions of the free edge 6; in the united figures ? a support 2 has been illustrated in which the second edges emerge from portions of the free edge defined by the second and fourth side walls 4b, 4d. Said second flaps 26 are both superimposed on a first flap 2c defined in correspondence with the first wall 4a. Support 2 can? however present a single second flap 26 which ? superimposed on respective end portions of one or more? rimi support flaps 2c.

Support 2 can? further present at least one slit 27 made following the definition of a notch on the same second flap 26 and/or on the first flap 2c, configured to allow the insertion of at least one coupling tab 25 inside the internal volume 3 of the support 2. Slot 27 ? defined in the vicinity? of the free edge 6 and extends parallel to the latter for a dimension between 5% and 80% of the longitudinal extension from the side wall which defines the free edge 6 itself. The slot 27 extends for most of the free edge 6. longitudinal extension of the second flap 26 on which ? defined.

Support 2 ? made of sheet material and obtained for example by folding. In a preferential but non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the support 2 is made of paper sheet material (paper or cardboard); in particular, the sheet material used has a weight of between 100 and 500 g/m?, in particular of between 200 and 400 g/m?.

As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the container 1 also comprises at least one closure system 7, also in sheet material, engaged in correspondence with at least one section of the free edge 6 and movable, in particular by rotation, relative to the support 2. In particular, the locking system 7 ? configured to define at least one closed condition (see for example figure 7) in which the same closing system 7 forbids communication between the internal volume 3 of the support 2 and the external environment and an open condition (see for example figure 4) in which it allows a user to access the internal volume 3 of the support 2.

In fact, the system 7 substantially represents a cover capable of cooperating with the support 2 in order to manage access to the internal volume 3. The closure system 7 is, not limited to, joined in one piece at the free edge section 6 defined by the third wall 4c, being movable by rotation around the latter at least between the closed and open conditions. However, it is not excluded that the closure system is distinct and spaced from the free edge 6, effectively defining a lid that can be removably engaged with the support 2.

In greater detail, the closure system 7 comprises at least one closure panel 8 made of sheet material and engaged in at least one section of the free edge 6. In particular, the closure panel 8 has a conformation counter-shaped to the free edge 6 in such a way to allow, in the closed condition of the closure system 7, to completely occlude the passage opening 5 and prevent access to the internal volume 3. In fact, in the closed condition of the closure system 7, the closure panel 8 ? at least partially in contact with the first flap 2c and with the second flap 26.

The closure panel 8 also has at least one coupling tab 25 configured to fit, in the closed condition of the system 7, inside the volume 3 of the support 2. The coupling tab 25 is? joined in one piece to the closure panel 8 and emerges from the latter starting from an external perimetric edge 8a delimiting the closure panel 8. The coupling tab 25 substantially represents an extension of the closure panel 8 able to be inserted, in the closed condition of the system 7, inside the slit 27 of each second flap 26. As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the coupling tab 25 also substantially has a flat body made of sheet material having, but not limited to, a rectangular shape . In the closed condition of the closure system 7, the coupling tab 25 faces, in particular contacts, directly a part of a side wall of the support 2, extending parallel to the latter. The coupling tab 25 ? it is also movable by rotation with respect to the closure panel 8 around a section of the outer perimeter edge 8a. As can be seen for example in figure 6, the coupling tab 25 is configured to define, according to a cross section and in cooperation with the closure panel 8, a substantially ?L? shape.

The closing panel 8 can? present two or more coupling portions 25, each of which, in the closed condition of the closure system 7, ? respectively arranged for insertion inside a slot 27 defined on at least one second flap 26 or on the first flap 2c.

The locking system 7 can? be made at least in part, in particular entirely, of paper sheet material (paper, cardboard or corrugated board); the sheet material used has a weight of between 100 and 500 g/m². Optionally, the paper sheet material used to make the closure system 7 ? equal to the sheet material used to make the support 2, in particular they are both obtained starting from a single and unique sheet of paper material.

As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the container 1 comprises at least a first hooking portion 12 carried by the closure system 7 and at least a second hooking portion 13 carried by the support 2. The first and second hooking portions 12, 13? in the closed condition of the container 1 - they are configured to engage stably with each other to define a locked condition of the container in which said portions are configured to oppose the passage of the container from the closed to the open condition. In detail, the first hooking portion 12 comprises a coupling tab configured to insert/engage inside a first and a second through pocket 13a, 33a of the second hooking portion. To better understand the structure and operation of said hooking portions, ? useful to clarify how said second hooking portion 13 comprises:

- at least a part of the second flap 26 at least partially superimposed on the first flap 2c,

- at least one first through pocket 13a defined on the at least one first flap 2c and delimited at least in part by at least one undercut portion 13b,

- at least one second through pocket 33a defined on the second flap 26 and delimited at least in part by at least one respective undercut portion 33b, in which the first and second through pocket 13a, 33a of the second hooking portion 13, at least in the closed condition of the container, are at least partly facing each other.

In fact, is the second through pocket 33a of the second hooking portion 13, in the closed condition of the container ? at least partially overlapping the first through pocket 13a. In fact, the first through pocket 13a ? directly facing the base 2a of the support 2 while the second through pocket 33a, in the closed condition of the container, is directly interposed between the first through pocket 13a and the closure system 7.

As can be seen from figures 3 and 4, the first and second through pocket 13a, 33a have a different shape; in detail, the first through pocket 13a ? bounded by a perimeter edge whose shape and/or size? different from a perimetric edge delimiting the second through pocket 33a.

In detail, the first through pocket 13a comprises at least one opening passing through the entire thickness of the first flap 2c; the first pocket 13a pu? have a substantially polygonal shape, optionally square or rectangular, with a closed profile. The first through pocket 13a pu? extending substantially along a predetermined rectilinear direction to define a length of said first pocket; the first through pocket 13a has a predetermined width, measured orthogonally to the predetermined direction of development of the same first through pocket 13a, optionally smaller than the length of the latter.

As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the first through pocket 13a of the second hooking portion 13? entirely defined on the first flap 2c; in fact, each first flap 2c extends in length between a first and a second end portion? longitudinal: the first through pocket 13a of the second hooking portion 13 ? defined in correspondence with at least one of said first and second end portions? length of the first flap 2c, entirely inside an external perimetric edge of said first flap 2c.

Also the second through pocket 33a ? delimited by a closed-type profile and is entirely defined on the second flap 26, or inside an external perimeter edge of said second flap 26.

In greater detail, the second through pocket 33a comprises at least one slit extending along a predetermined trajectory, optionally substantially curvilinear; in still greater detail, the predetermined development trajectory T2 of the second through pocket 33a has a substantially ?C? or in a semicircle or in an arc (see for example figure 4). Is the predetermined development trajectory T2 of the second through pocket 33a (of the slot) ? at least partially transverse to the development direction of the first through pocket 13a.

Each second flap 26 extends in length between a first and a second end portion? longitudinal; the second pocket 33a of the second hooking portion 13 ? defined in correspondence with at least one of said first and second end portions? longitudinal side of the second flap 26, superimposed on a respective first through pocket 13a.

Since the second through pocket 33a is placed above the first through pocket 13a, said second pocket 33a ? the first to receive the first hooking portion crossing during the passage of the container from the open condition to the closed condition; the undercut portion 33b delimiting at least partially said second through pocket 33a, during the passage of the container from the open to the closed condition? ? configured to intercept the first hooking portion 12 and guide it as it is inserted into the first through pocket 13a.

As can be seen from figures 4A and 8A, the second through pocket 33a is in view along a crossing direction of the second through pocket 33a itself ? ? contained at least in part, optionally entirely, within a space occupied by the first through pocket 13a delimited by the perimetric edge of said first through pocket 13a. In fact, the second through pocket 33a ? in view along a crossing direction of the second through pocket itself ? it has a smaller size than the defined size of the first through pocket 13a. in other words again, the second through pocket 33a? in view along a crossing direction of the second through pocket itself ? it develops entirely inside the perimeter edge of the first through pocket 13a.

In fact, the first through pocket 13a has a passage section higher than a passage section defined by the second through pocket 33a; the ratio between the passage section of the first through pocket 13a and the passage section of the second through pocket 33a can? indicatively be greater than 1.2, optionally equal to or between 1.3 and 4.

As can be seen from the accompanying figures, the second hooking portion 13 can? furthermore comprising at least one blocking flap 24 emerging from the undercut portion 13b of the first through pocket starting from a respective fold edge 13c, configured to at least partially obstruct the first through pocket 13a. In fact, also the blocking flap 24 ? movable by rotation around the fold edge 13c at least between a flat position and an inclined position, by means of the thrust of the first hooking portion 12 exerted on the same block flap 24 during the passage of the hooking portion 12 through said first through pocket 13a . In particular, prior to the insertion of the first hooking portion in the internal volume of the support 2, the locking tab 24 is in the flat position, in which it lies substantially parallel to the first flap 2c. Conversely, following the passage of the first hooking portion 12, the blocking flap 24 is in the inclined position, in which it lies transversely to the first flap 2c. In this last position, the locking tab 24 is folded with respect to the undercut portion 13b delimiting said first through pocket 13a at least partially in the internal volume 3 of the support 2, so as to allow at least partially the insertion of the first hooking portion 12 through said first through pocket 13a and optionally to be stably constrained with wings 12b. In other words, the block flap 24, in the inclined position, is substantially interposed between the first through pocket 13a of the second hooking portion 13 and at least a part of the first hooking portion 12 arranged in the internal volume 3 of the support 2.

? it is useful to note how the locking tab 24, in the inclined position, engages the tab 12b of the first hooking portion, preventing the latter from being moved in a direction outgoing the first through pocket 13a.

In the united figures ? a container 1 comprising a pair of second hooking portions 13 defined in correspondence with corner portions of the first flap 2c defined in correspondence with the second and fourth side walls 4c, 4d has been illustrated in a non-limiting way. It should be noted how the second hooking portions 13 are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other, configured to prevent a user from lifting the closure panel 8 without breaking at least one removable portion. In particular, the distance between a pair of second coupling portions ? between 30cm and 15cm.

The first hooking portion 12 ? carried by the closure system 7, in particular it extends starting from the outer perimeter edge 8a of the closure portion 8. The first hooking portion 12 comprises a removable portion configured to engage stably, in the locked condition of the container 1, with the second hooking 13. In detail, the first hooking portion 12, in said locked condition, ? directly facing the undercut portion 13b delimiting said first through pocket 13a: the first hooking portion 12, in the locked condition of the container 1, ? at least partially abutting directly to the undercut portion 13b delimiting said first through pocket 13a to lock said closing system 7 to the support 2. The removable portion and therefore said first hooking portion 12 ? configured to separate from the closure system 7 during a first opening condition of the container 1 following the locking condition to give evidence of tampering with the container 1.

The first hooking portion 12 ? joined in one piece to the closure system 7 by means of a weakened portion 12d, which can? be for example defined by a plurality? of notches performed on a joining body between said first hooking portion 12 and the closure portion 8 of the system 7: in this way the entire first hooking portion 12 defines said removable portion. The presence of the weakened portion allows the first hooking portion 12 to tear/break from the closure system 7 when an attempt is made to open the container from the locked condition, to give evidence of an attempt to tamper with said container 1. In detail, the first hooking portion 12 ? mobile between:

- an extended position in which said first hooking portion 12 extends as an extension of the closure system 7, substantially parallel to the latter,

- a coupling position (see for example figure 5) in which said first coupling portion 12 ? folded with respect to the closure system 7 and extends transversally to the latter.

In detail, the first hooking portion 12 ? movable from the extended position to the position during the opening condition of the container 1 or when said first hooking portion 12 ? distanced from the support. In fact, in the engaged position, the first hooking portion 12 is turned towards the second hooking portion 13 and arranged in a condition in which it can? intercepting and crossing said first and second through pockets 13a, 33a. In fact, the first hooking portion 12 ? configured to traverse the first and second through pockets 13a, 33a only when placed in the engagement position. The first hooking portion 12 ? movable by rotation from the extended position to the engaged position, and vice versa, around a fold edge able to also define a connection edge between the first hooking portion 12 and the closing portion 8. Said fold edge of the first portion of hookup 12 pu? coincide at least partially with the weakened portion 12d: the first hooking portion 12 ? foldable with respect to the closure portion 8 of the closure system 7 with respect to the weakened portion which, as described above? definable by a union body presenting one or more? through notches of weakening.

Going into more detail? It can be observed that the first coupling portion 12 further comprises: at least one central body 12a, at least one flap 12b emerging from the central body 12a. The at least one flap 12b - at least during the passage from the open condition to the closed condition and therefore during the passage of the same first hooking portion 12 through the first and second through pocket 13a - ? configured to fold with respect to the central body 12a to allow the at least one flap 12b itself and at least a part of the central body 12a to pass through said first and second through pocket 13a, 33a. Following the insertion of the first hooking portion 12 ? or the removable portion? inside the internal volume of the support, the at least one? fin 12b ? stably engaged at least to the undercut portion 13b delimiting the first through pocket 13a to define said locking condition.

The central body 12a pu? have a polygonal shape, optionally rectangular or trapezoidal, or triangular or square; l?at least one?aletta 12b ? joined integrally to the central body 12a by means of a folding edge 21: the at least one flap 12b ? foldable with respect to the central body 12a at least at the folding edge 21.

The 12b fin can? be movable by rotation around the folding edge 21 from a position in which it lies parallel to the central body 12a, to a position in which it ? disposed transversely to the latter, in which ? configured to engage with the undercut portion 13a of the second hooking portion 13. In particular, the tab 12b lies parallel to the central body 12a at least prior to a condition of first insertion of the first hooking portion 12 through the second hooking portion 13 ; conversely, following the insertion of the first hooking portion 12 through the first and second through pocket 13a, 33a, the at least one flap 12b defines, in cooperation with the central body 12a, a folded portion having a substantially ?C shape ?.

The undercut portion 33b of the second through pocket 33a of the second hooking portion 13, during the passage of the first hooking portion 12, ? configured to guide the folding of at least one flap 12b with respect to the central body 12a along the folding edge 21 to further guide said first hooking portion 12 across the first through pocket 13a, which is placed after the second through pocket according to an insertion direction of the first hooking portion inside the support. In fact, as for example shown in figure 5, the flap 12b, during the passage of the through the first and second through pocket 13a, 33a, ? configured to bend with respect to the central body 12a to allow the insertion of at least part of the latter and of the flap 12b inside said pockets 13a, 33a of the second hooking portion 13.

In fact, the central body 12a extends substantially along a development plane; the at least one fin 12b extends along a respective development plane. The at least one flap 12b of the first hooking portion 12 ? previously a condition of first insertion through the first and/or second through pocket 13a, 33a ? it extends substantially parallel to the central body 12a.

The at least one flap 12b, following the complete passage through the first and second through pocket, is configured to fold with respect to the central body 12a at the folding edge 21 to essentially define a respective undercut portion of the first hooking portion 12 facing the undercut portion 13b delimiting the first through pocket 13a of the second hooking portion 13 (figure 8A ) to contrast the passage of the container from the closed condition (first closed condition) to the open condition. In detail, the flap 12b, in the locked condition, faces the undercut portion 13b of the second hooking portion 13. As can be seen for example in figures 8-10, the first hooking portion 12 in the locked condition, ? entirely arranged in the internal volume 3 of the support 2 and in particular inside the second sub-chamber 45.

However, following the passage of the first hooking portion 12 through the first and second through pocket 13a, 33a, the at least one flap 12b of the first hooking portion 12 remains in a partially folded condition with respect to the central body 12a: the at least one the fin extends substantially along an inclined plane with respect to a plane of arrangement of the central body 12a.

In figures 8-10 ? schematized the locking condition in which said first hooking portion 12 ? inserted at least partially into the internal volume 3 of the support in engagement with the second hooking portion 13, in particular in engagement with the undercut portion 13b delimiting said first through pocket 13a.

The first hooking portion 12 ? according to a plane orthogonal to said development direction and at least in the blocked condition ? emerges from the closing system 7 along a development direction and defines a passage section having a width greater than a width of the first through pocket 13a, optionally also of the second through pocket 33a (width of the first and second through pocket ? measuring along a same width measurement direction of the first hook portion 12). The at least one tab 12b of the first hooking portion 12 is during the crossing of the first and second through pocket 13a, 33a of the second hooking portion 13 ? ? configured to bend along the folding edge 21 with respect to the central body 12a to define, together with the central body, a first width of the hooking portion 12; the at least one flap 12b of the first hooking portion 12 ? following the complete crossing of the first and second through pocket 13a, 33a of the second hooking portion 13 and therefore in the locked condition ? ? configured to define, together with the central body, a second width of the hooking portion 12 greater than the first width. In fact, the second through pocket 33a ? configured to allow the at least one flap to be folded with respect to the central body in such a way that the first hooking portion defines said first width which also allows the first hooking portion to pass through the second through pocket 33a. Following the complete passage of the at least one flap from the first through pocket 13a, said at least one flap 12b ? configured to reopen (fold back in opening) again with respect to the central body 12a defining said second width greater than the first width.

? precisely this unfolding step which allows the at least one flap to define the undercut portion of the first hooking portion 12 suitable for allowing stable engagement with the second hooking portion, and more? in detail with the undercut portion 13b delimiting said first through pocket 13a (see for example figure 8A). In fact, the central body 12a and the at least one flap 12b, at least in the locked condition, are aligned/side by side along a transversal direction to define a width of the first hooking portion 12: the first through pocket 13a of the second hooking portion 13 has width - measured along a respective direction parallel to said transversal direction of the first hooking portion 12 ? smaller than the width of the first hooking portion 12.

L?at least one?aletta 12b pu? comprise a first and a second flap 12b?, 12b? joined in one piece to the central body 12a and arranged opposite each other with respect to the central body 12a.

The first and second lugs 12a?, 12a? are configured to fold with respect to the central body 12a, during the passage of the first hooking portion 12 crossing the second through pocket 33a, optionally around respective folding edges 21. In detail, the first and second flaps 12b?, 12b? , during the crossing passage to the second through pocket 33a of the second hooking portion 13, define together with the central body 12a a transversal section having a substantially ?C? or ?U?, optionally said section being defined along a plane substantially orthogonal to the fold edges 21 of at least one of said first and second fins.

As can be seen for example from figure 8A, the first and second flaps 12b?, 12b??, in the locked condition, both face directly the undercut portion 13b delimiting the first through pocket 13a of the second hooking portion 13.

The first fin 12b?, the central body 12a and the second fin 12b? they are aligned along a transverse direction and define a width of the first hooking portion 12; optionally, said width being measured along said transverse direction. Does the first through pocket 13a of the second hooking portion 13 have a width - measured along a respective direction parallel to said transversal direction of the first hooking portion ? smaller than the width of the first hooking portion 12.

As described above, the blocking of the first hooking portion inside the internal volume 3 of the support 2 and in particular the engagement of the at least one flap 12b to the second hooking portion 13, opposes the opening of the container, which can ? take place only by tearing off the removable portion and then the first hooking portion 12.

In fact, following a first opening condition of the container 1, following a first closing condition, the first hooking portion 12? configured to separate entirely from the same closing system 7 and deposit itself inside the second sub-chamber 45. The first hooking portion 12 is thus? removed can not? come into contact with the first sub-chamber 40 and in particular, with the food product contained. The lack of the first hooking portion 12 signals to the user that the container 1 has been opened for the first time, a condition which can report that the products housed in the container have been tampered with. The container can include two or more first hooking portions 12, for example defined in correspondence with respective corner portions of the closure panel 8 arranged on the opposite side with respect to the free edge 6. In greater detail, the first hooking portions 12 are configured to engage with respective second portions hook 13 defined on the first edge 2c, for example defined on the first side wall 4a.

The container comprises an equal number of first and second hooking portions 12, 13 so that each first hooking portion 12 can stably engage a respective second hooking portion to allow locking of the closure system 7 to the support 2.

Furthermore, the second hooking portion 13 can comprising a contrasting portion defined on the first flap 2c and/or on the second flap 26 and arranged, during a first closure condition 7 of the container, below the exposed surface of the removable portion. In fact, the contrasting portion represents an indicator visible from the outside of the container only following the removal of the removable portion (or the tearing or breaking of the first hooking portion) and therefore configured to give evidence of tampering with the container. The portion of contrast pu? furthermore comprise a visually different signaling surface with respect to the first flap 2c and/or the second flap 26, configured to give the user even more the occurrence of the first condition of opening of the container is evident.

As can be seen from the accompanying figures, at least one of the support 2 and the closure system 7 can comprise at least a tear portion 9, 19 configured to allow the breaking of said support 2 and/or closing system 7 during an attempt to open the container 1 itself when this ? placed in the locked condition.

In the united figures ? the support 2 has been illustrated, in a non-limiting way, comprising at least one tear-off portion 19 defined on at least one side wall of the support 2, in particular defined on the second and fourth side walls 4b, 4d. In detail, at least one of said lateral walls of the support can understand a plurality of tear portions 19 each defined by one or more? aligned notches for defining a weakened portion of the side wall. These notches can for example extend from the base 2a up to the free edge 6 (figure 6). In detail, each notch 19 can? connect the base 2a with the slot 27 of the support adapted to receive the tab 25 of the closure system. These notches 19 are spaced and separated from the second hooking portion defined on the support 2 itself: the second hooking portions 13 are in fact placed at corner portions while the notches are arranged on the side walls of the support at a distance from the portions d? corner.

In the accompanying figures, the closure system 7 also comprises, in a non-limiting way, at least one tear portion 9, distinct and spaced from the removable portion (i.e. distinct and spaced from each first hooking portion): each tear portion 9 of the system closure 7 comprises at least one notch, optionally a plurality? of notches aligned along a predetermined trajectory and placed one after the other, defined on the closure portion 8 and substantially extending starting from the perimetric edge of said closure portion. The locking system 7 can? understand a plurality of tear portions 9 configured to allow the closure system 7 itself to break during an access attempt by a user in the container locked condition. In the united figures ? a non-limiting way has been illustrated, a closure system 7 comprising four tear-off portions 9 arranged, in pairs, in correspondence with opposite sides of the closure system 7.

In fact, each tear portion 9, 19 ? positioned at a distance from the first and second hooking portions 12, 13, in particular in correspondence with possible opening/access areas of the container. In the event that a user somehow wanted to bypass the first and second hooking portion (that is to try to open the container without urging said first and second hooking portion 12, 13 and therefore without causing the removable portion to break) this would certainly cause an excessive stress on the support and/or the closure system which would lead to a breakage of at least one of the tear portions 9, 19. In this way, the tear portions 9, 19 are able to give evidence of an attempt to tampering with the container caused by an attempt to access the internal volume of the container without carrying out the normal opening of the same.
