Description

The present invention relates to containers, more particularly to a modular showcase and container for products.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple way of displaying and placing a variety of products, such as 5 confectionery products, allowing easy identification of the products and being at the customer's fingertips.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new device consisting of module members that can be stacked in a variety of ways, thus providing a device for displaying and positioning the products while being handy to the user.

Further, the fact that the display unit and the container unit, being modular, allow it to be assembled in various shapes which can be varied according to the needs or needs of the supplier, is an additional feature of the invention.

Several devices for displaying and storing various products, such as pens, pencils, sweets, are already known.

Argentine patent no. 233 468, a Spanish application priority, relates to a "Container Showcase for Sweets" consisting of a lower cylindrical container for sweets, with a conical lid which is perforated externally, with sweet sticks inserted vertically into the openings. A special feature is the inner shape of the openings, which is initially cylindrical and then corresponds to an inverted cut cone shape, the smaller diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the sticks so that the latter remain inserted into the opening. The elliptical shape of the lid openings is also described.

Argentine Industrial Models no. 13755 and 13757 relate to "Showcase Devices", consisting of parallelepiped, cut cone and cylindrical bodies with perforated tops with five drilled holes, correctly spaced in cross-section.

Argentine industrial model no. 39282 also reveals the "Showcase". It consists of a tubular core which has a sloping edge concentricity in the center, from which a number of rectangular radial arms protrude. Corresponding pairs of inverted V-shaped segments protrude from the rest of the area, forming a slit cone whose annular base has U-shaped angular radial brackets, whose edges are inclined inward and their height decreases towards the lattice. This depression contains dividing columns with a functional feature.

This modular container showcase has a unique shape, is easy to manufacture and low cost. This unit can be placed on the counter so that customers can choose and pick up the products stored in it.

Therefore, the device of the invention is characterized by a first member consisting of a head crowning the device, at least a second modular intermediate member and a third optional member consisting of a container body, which may be added as a construction alternative.

Essentially, each modular intermediate member is comprised of a low annular body which includes a large diameter cylindrical laminate core that rises from the annular base in a tilted plane, forming a narrow portion of a tapered cone having a series of small rectangular windows spaced apart from one another. The casing wall protrudes from the crown of the windows, cylindrically exceeding the height of the inner core. It then turns outward to form a crown of a cut cone with a rounded circular angle from which it descends to a level corresponding to a central core from which a wavy laminate formed of a plurality of semicircular waves protrudes outward, separated by corresponding small radii In the form of semicircular recesses, the base consists of a cylindrical enclosure and has a plurality of rectangular recesses, the upper part of which is of a semicircular shape, the recesses of which are the same as those mentioned, and are coaxially connected with small radius recesses.

A constructional alternative to the intermediate module from the previous embodiment has an outer circumferential groove in the lower part, a radially inclined wing above it, an annular surface of the wing forming an angular slope with a lower edge plane, uniformly distributed in a plurality of niches for sweets sticks. radial channels terminating in the inner crown of the tubular parts.

Based on the accompanying drawings, a better embodiment of the invention will be described below as a non-limiting example.

Brief description of the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a better embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one of the intermediate modules of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a top view of one of the intermediate modular members holding the sweets.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a confectionery invention. One of the intermediate modules is shown separately.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the entire modular member.

FIG. 6 is a display unit according to FIG. 5, top view of a confectionery holding a sweet.

FIG. 7 is formed by the elements of FIG. 5, without the container constituting the third element of the present invention.

FIG. 8 - Simple construction alternative with three modular elements.

Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals and symbols refer to the same or equivalent elements.

According to the drawings, the device of the invention is made up of three parts, the first part consisting of a lid or an upper head formed by a dome 1 having a pair of opposed concavities 2 for servicing the lower annular rib 3 on the second intermediate modular part the annular body 4 is a large diameter cylindrical laminated core 5 rising from the annular base and forming a narrow conical portion 6 in a tilted plane having a plurality of small rectangular windows 7 spaced at equal intervals and surrounded by corresponding ribs 8 for stiffening the body.

The cell-forming module wall rises cylindrically above the inner core and then tilts outward to form a cut tapered rib 9 with a rounded annular edge from which it descends to the lower level 10, which corresponds to the central core, with a laminated wavy protrusion therefrom. a portion formed by a plurality of large semicircular waves 11 separated by semicircular small radius recesses 12, the base formed by a cylindrical shell 13 having a plurality of rectangular notches 14 having a top portion of a semicircular shape and having the same width as said cells 7, and one and the other coaxially connected to the small radius recesses 12, and the other rectangular openings 15 are connected to the bottom of the peripheral mouths 16, defined by a wavy laminate strip and an outer contour of the crown portion. Said mouths 16 are at one point redistributed by a radial stop baffle 17.

The third modular part is a simple container 18.

In an alternative embodiment, FIG. 5, 6 and 7 use the same head 1 placed above one or more modular spacers, which in this case have a peripheral wing 19 having a radial forming angle with a horizontal plane, the forming slope being directed to the axis of the modular part a circle larger than its inner circle.

There are many radial channels in the inclined annular plane of the wing

20, in the crown 21 of the terminating blind tubular members. Inside the latter are inserted sweets A sticks.

Each module is characterized by a second portion consisting of a hollow cylindrical body 22 terminating in a stepped edge 23 of smaller diameter as a means for insertion into another module member.

The third part is a simple container 18, as shown, a cylindrical container which can receive a plug-in part formed by said stepped edge 23.

FIG. 6 shows how sweets A are placed in each intermediate member. They are staggered to obtain a better distribution.

FIG. 7 shows a plurality of modules stacked on top of each other to form a column covered by a head 11. The number of stacked modules can be changed without problems.

FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment of the invention formed as a showcase and container for products such as confectionery having a head 1, several layers of simple intermediate modular members 24 and a container 18 carrying such sweets A. The modular members 24 have a greater angular slope of said wing. , 12.

The functional and working relationship of the parts of the device of the present invention and its effect are set forth below.

The showcase is formed by adding a predetermined number of modular members and then inserting a sweet stick A between them. If decided, the unit may be supplemented with a head 1 for trim the unit. If decided, there may be recesses 2, product information or their trademarks.

In order to obtain a complete display unit, the modules must simply be mounted on a container 18 so that the products stored therein can be seen through its walls. In this case, the device may be provided with or without a head for free access to the inside of the container.

The invention is described in an exemplary embodiment thereof; modifications and alternatives obvious to those skilled in the art are to be considered within the spirit and scope of the invention, which are limited to the appended claims.
