DESCRIÇÃODESCRIPTION

Antecedentes da invenção A presente invenção refere-se basicamente a recipientes do tipo gue, embora não exclusivamente, é usualmente encontrado nas cozinhas para armazenamento de viveres e similares. Esses recipientes são normalmente moldados com um material plástico apropriado e devem ser dotados de uma tampa, gue os fecha para conservação dos conteúdos.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates primarily to containers of the type which, although not exclusively, is usually found in kitchens for storage of foodstuffs and the like. Such containers are usually molded with an appropriate plastic material and must be fitted with a lid, which closes them for storage.

Para aproveitamento do espaço, melhor acesso e por uma variedade de outras razões, os recipientes do tipo gerai aqui referido são adaptados para se empilharem devido a possuirem um fundo plano e superfícies superiores com a mesma extensão, que podem incorporar sucessivamente componentes interligados para estabilização do empilhamento.For improved space utilization, and for a variety of other reasons, the containers of the general type referred to herein are adapted to be stacked because they have a flat bottom and similarly extending upper surfaces, which can successively incorporate interconnected components for stabilizing the stacking.

Mesmo que os recipientes sejam adaptados para assentarem em superfícies horizontais, devido quer a fundos planos quer a fundos que definem uma superfície suporte - 1 -Even if the containers are adapted to rest on horizontal surfaces due to either flat bottoms or bottoms defining a support surface,

de plano horizontal, são normal e inerentemente passíveis de empilhamento vertical se as superfícies superiores forem dotadas de uma configuração horizontal plana, este empilhamento não tem sido possível nos casos, em que as superfícies superiores são de finidas por planos que não sejam basicamente horizontais. Este problema surge relativamente â forma principal da tampa ilustrada pelo pedido de patente co-pendente. Esta tampa, para os objec tivos do novo sistema de vedação e libertação do pedido de paten te co-pendente, ê constituída por uma superfície superior multi-planar possuindo um primeiro plano horizontal e um segundo plano inclinado para cima segundo um ângulo agudo com a horizontal. A porção de plano inclinado impede o empilhamento correcto com a base horizontal do plano de suporte de um recipiente de configuração semelhante e no caso em que o recipiente superior possa ser mantido, este inclinar-se-ã segundo a direcção definida pelo plano que forma o ângulo agudo com a horizontal, formando um arranjo instável e inestético*are normally and inherently capable of vertical stacking if the upper surfaces are provided with a flat horizontal configuration, this stacking has not been possible in cases where the upper surfaces are fined by planes which are not substantially horizontal. This problem arises in relation to the main form of the cap illustrated by the co-pending patent application. This cover for purposes of the new sealing and release system of the co-pending patent application is comprised of a multi-planar upper surface having a first horizontal plane and a second plane inclined upwardly at an acute angle with horizontal. The inclined plane portion prevents correct stacking with the horizontal base of the support plane of a container of similar configuration and in the case where the upper container can be maintained it will tilt in the direction defined by the plane forming the container acute angle with horizontal, forming an unstable and unsightly arrangement *

Sumário da invenção O principal objectivo da presente invenção e proporcionar um empilhamento vertical conveniente de re cipientes, que dificultam a sua associação sobre as superfícies das tampas superiores, as quais são constituídas por múltiplos planos distintos, que sob condições normais poderão causar insta bilidade, pelo que são suportes de bases inadequadas para a sobreposição de recipientes*SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide convenient vertical stacking of containers which hinder their association on the surfaces of the upper covers which are made up of multiple distinct planes which under normal conditions may cause instabilization by which are unsuitable base supports for overlapping containers *

Mais precisamente, a invenção estã cen trada no empilhamento de recipientes, cujas superfícies das tampas superiores são formadas por duas porções planas, uma primeira horizontal que constitui a maior secção da superfície da tampa e uma segunda que ê inclinada de modo ascendente e forma um ângulo agudo com a horizontal* O corpo do recipiente contem múltiplas pes pendentes e espaçados perifericamente, que definem um plano horizontal de suporte para a sobreposição de recipientes semelhantes. O empilhamento destes recipientes pode resultar nor * malmente numa orientação angular do recipiente superior, devida • ao encaixe de um ou mais dos pés de suporte com a superfície in- 2More precisely, the invention is centered on the stacking of containers, the surfaces of the top covers being formed by two flat portions, a horizontal first constituting the largest section of the surface of the lid and a second which is inclined upwardly and forms an angle sharp with the horizontal * The container body contains multiple pendant and peripherally spaced parts defining a horizontal support plane for the overlapping of similar containers. The stacking of these containers may normally result in an angular orientation of the upper container due to engagement of one or more of the support feet with the bottom surface 2.

cllnada que ê consequentemente mais alta.which is consequently higher.

Na presente invenção o problema ê ultrapassado proporcionando depressões ou encaixes na porção incli nada de modo ascendente, que são posicionados de modo a encaixar o pé ou os pés do recipiente sobreposto e permitem um alinhamento vertical. O fundo interior das extremidades do suporte ou das superfícies destes encaixes ou depressões são co-planares com a superfície horizontal maior, que recebe e suporta os restantes pés de suporte.In the present invention the problem is overcome by providing depressions or recesses in the upwardly inclined portion which are positioned so as to engage the foot or feet of the overlapping container and allow vertical alignment. The inner bottom of the ends of the support or the surfaces of these recesses or depressions are coplanar with the larger horizontal surface, which receives and supports the remaining support feet.

Deste modo, as depressões e a porção horizontal definem um plano suporte horizontal, como o definido pelas extremidades inferiores dos pês. Por sua vez, este proporciona um empilhamento vertical dos recipientes sem inclinação, mau alinhamento, ou semelhante. Os pês devem ser tais que encaixem completamente e ajustem os fundos do rebaixo ou rebaixos que por seu turno estão no plano da porção horizontal. Considerando que a porção horizontal da superfície da tampa superior constitui a maior porção da superfície, então a quantidade do peso do recipiente superior que é distribuído pela porção inclinada, não provoca a flambagem da tampa.Thus, the depressions and the horizontal portion define a horizontal support plane, as defined by the lower ends of the legs. This in turn provides a vertical stack of containers without tilting, misalignment, or the like. The feet must be such that they fit completely and adjust the bottoms of the recess or recesses which in turn are in the plane of the horizontal portion. Considering that the horizontal portion of the surface of the top cover constitutes the largest portion of the surface, then the amount of weight of the upper container which is distributed over the inclined portion does not cause the lid to buckle.

Descrição das formas preferidas de realização 0 recipiente 10 ilustrado nos desenhos ê composto por um corpo de recipiente vertical 12 e por uma tampa removível 14. O corpo do recipiente 12 ê composto de uma pare de periférica 16, um fundo fechado 13 e uma abertura superior de finida pela aresta superior 20 planar periférica da parede. O corpo do recipiente 12 ê preferivelmente cilíndrico como o ilustrado, embora no âmbito da invenção possam ser enquadradas outras configurações. Em cada caso o fundo integrado 18 e a tampa removível 14 podem normalmente ser co-extensivas periféricamente com o corpo do recipiente. O corpo do recipiente apoia-se numa va riedade de pés dependentes 22 que se salientam do fundo 18 e cujas extremidades inferiores definem um plano de suporte horizontal para encaixe que ê comum â superfície de suporte horizontal de por exemplo uma prateleira, uma mesa, ou algo semelhante. Os pés 22 podem ser moldados integralmente no fundo 18, concebidos como inserções separadas, ou moldados separadamente do fundo. A tampa 14 é uma tampa oscilante constituída por uma flange anelar de vedação pendente 24 ajustãvel ao topo superior do corpo do recipiente 12 e um painel superior que constitui uma outra porção de tampa periférica alem da flange de vedação 24 que encaixa na aresta superior da parede do cor po 20. 0 painel superior 26 ê formado por duas porções de painéis planos 28 e 30. A porção de painel plana 28 constitui a maior porção do painel da tampa e ê horizontal * quando a tampa 14 assenta normalmente no corpo do recipiente 12. • A porção de painel relativamente menor é inclinada relativamente 4DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The container 10 shown in the drawings is composed of a vertical container body 12 and a removable lid 14. The container body 12 is composed of a peripheral stop 16, an enclosed bottom 13 and an upper opening defined by the upper peripheral planar edge of the wall. The body of the container 12 is preferably cylindrical as shown, although in the scope of the invention other configurations may be framed. In each case the integrated bottom 18 and the removable cap 14 may normally be coextensively peripheral with the container body. The container body is supported by a plurality of depending feet 22 protruding from the bottom 18 and whose lower ends define a horizontal support plane for engagement which is common to the horizontal support surface of e.g. a shelf, a table, or something similar. The feet 22 may be integrally molded in the bottom 18, designed as separate inserts, or molded separately from the bottom. The lid 14 is a swinging cover constituted by a pendant seal annular flange 24 adjustable to the upper top of the container body 12 and an upper panel constituting another peripheral lid portion besides the sealing flange 24 which engages the upper edge of the wall The top panel 26 is formed by two portions of flat panels 28 and 30. The flat panel portion 28 constitutes the largest portion of the lid panel and is horizontal when the lid 14 normally rests on the container body 12 • The relatively smaller panel portion is inclined relatively to

à porção de painel 28, segundo um ângulo agudo com a horizontal, definindo uma porção que desde o eixo de união 32 com a porção 28 até â extremidade oposta arqueada vai aumentando progressivamente a altura. Quando a tampa estã montada e assenta sobre o corpo, o painel da tampa define a superfície superior da tampa de múltiplos níveis, que é formada por uraa superfície superior horizontal e por uma superfície plana inclinada segundo um ângulo agudo com o plano da superfície horizontal.to the panel portion 28 at an acute angle to the horizontal defining a portion that from the attachment axis 32 with the portion 28 to the opposing arcuate end progressively increases the height. When the lid is mounted and rests on the body, the lid panel defines the upper surface of the multi-level lid, which is formed by a horizontal upper surface and a flat surface inclined at an acute angle to the plane of the horizontal surface.

Tal como tem sido descrita, a referida tampa do recipiente apresenta urna construção única, que é mais detalhadamente descrita e reivindicada no pedido de patente co--pendente, cujo objectivo ê a sua ilustração. A superfície superior de múltiplos níveis, particularmente a porção de superfície superior formando o ângulo agudo impede o empilhamento vertical do recipiente ante-riormente descrito. O objectivo da presente invenção é proporcio nar-lhe um empilhamento vertical.As has been described, said container lid has a single construction, which is more fully described and claimed in co-pending patent application, the object of which is the illustration thereof. The multi-level upper surface, particularly the upper surface portion forming the acute angle, prevents vertical stacking of the container described above. The object of the present invention is to provide vertical stacking.

Para o fazer, considera-se que o nível inferior da superfície e a porção horizontal 28 definem uma superfície da base, que ê horizontal e constitui uma superfície de suporte para todos os pés do suporte do recipiente sobreposto de forma alinhada. A superfície da tampa em relevo ou mais elevada forma rebaixos que definem um plano horizontal comum ã superfície da base horizontal e recebem alinhadaraente os pês ou os suportes 22 do contentor.To do this, the lower level of the surface and the horizontal portion 28 are considered to define a surface of the base, which is horizontal and forms a support surface for all the legs of the container support in an aligned manner. The surface of the raised or raised lid forms recesses defining a horizontal plane common to the surface of the horizontal base and are received in alignment with the feet or the supports 22 of the container.

Mais precisamente, com o objectivo de acomodar os pes do suporte 22 que alinhara sobre a porção de nível em relevo 30 estendida de uma ponta â outra da superfície su perior inclinada, esta ê dotada de um ou mais rebaixos ou depres são 32, cuja configuração permite receber, assentar e alinhar o pê ou pês 22 no mesmo plano horizontal que ê definido pela super fície superior da porção horizontal 28 que por sua vez constitui a superfície de base. Esta relação ê melhor ilustrada pela figura 5, em que o plano horizontal Δ-A recebe os pes do recipiente sobreposto, fazendo com que a superfície da tampa de múltiplos • níveis do recipiente subjacente não impeça o alinhamento verti-! cal.More precisely, in order to accommodate the legs of the support 22 which lines up on the raised level portion 30 extending from one end to the other of the inclined upper surface, it is provided with one or more recesses or depressions 32, whose configuration allows to receive, set and align the feet or feet 22 in the same horizontal plane which is defined by the upper surface of the horizontal portion 28 which in turn constitutes the base surface. This relationship is best illustrated by Figure 5, wherein the horizontal plane Δ-A receives the legs of the overlapping container, so that the surface of the lid of multiple levels of the underlying container does not prevent vertical alignment. lime.

As figura 1-5 ilustram um assento rebaixado simples ou depressão 32 da porção elevada 30. As figuras 6 e 7 ilustram dois assentos rebaixados 32. Como se pode verificar, o numero de rebaixos adaptados depende do espaçamento entre os pês do fundo fechado 18 do corpo do recipiente 12, bem como das dimensões relativas das porções inclinada 30 e horizontal 23, Em ultima analise, como garantia do perfeito funcionamento da tampa tal como descrito no pedido de patente co-pendente e para uma sustentação adequada e estável do recipiente, e aconselhável que pelo menos um pê 22 seja alinhado sobre a porção elevada 30.Figures 1-5 illustrate a single recessed seat or depression 32 of the raised portion 30. Figures 6 and 7 show two recessed seats 32. As can be seen, the number of adapted recesses depends on the spacing between the legs of the closed bottom 18 of the seat the container body 12, as well as the relative dimensions of the inclined portions 30 and horizontal 23, are provided. In the final analysis, as a guarantee of the perfect functioning of the cap as described in co-pending patent application and for a suitable and stable support of the container, and It is advisable for at least one pear 22 to be aligned over the raised portion 30.

De acordo com as figuras 6 e 7, ê possível alinhar dois ou mais pês 22 sobre a porção elevada 30. Nes se caso, os assentos rebaixados ou os rebaixos complementares 34 devem ser adaptados para cada um deles. Alem disso verifica-se que, a profundidade dos rebaixos depende do seu posicionamento na porção elevada e pode diferir de modo que a porção interior do fundo de suporte de cada rebaixo 34 seja complanar ã superfície horizontal da base de suporte da porção horizontal de nível inferior 28.According to figures 6 and 7, it is possible to align two or more legs 22 on the raised portion 30. In such cases, the lowered seats or the complementary recesses 34 should be adapted to each of them. Further, it will be appreciated that the depth of the recesses depends on their positioning in the raised portion and may differ such that the inner portion of the support bottom of each recess 34 is complantable to the horizontal surface of the support base of the lower level horizontal portion 28.

Mesmo que considerados não essenciais para o empilhamento de recipientes, pode-se verificar que o rebaixo receptor do pê ou os rebaixos proporcionam um certo bloqueio e estabilidade entre os recipientes. Alem do mais, a dispo sição dos rebaixos também proporciona uma indicação por tacto e visual da porção elevada, que constitui um aspecto desejável para a manipulação da tampa pelo processo proposto no pedido de pa tente co-pendente.Even though considered to be non-essential for stacking containers, it can be seen that the foot receptor recess or recesses provide some blockage and stability between the containers. Moreover, the arrangement of the recesses also provides a tactile and visual indication of the raised portion which is a desirable aspect for manipulation of the cap by the process proposed in the co-pending application.

Faz-se observar que a altura dos pes 22 deve ser de modo a permitir um ajustamento no interior dos re baixos 34 antes ou simultaneamente com o acoplamento da superfície de fundo 18 ao ponto mais alto da tampa, garantindo o posicionamento horizontal do recipiente sobreposto. Por outro lado, se a altura dos pês 22 ê igual ã altura máxima da P°rção de nível superior 30 acima da base de superfície horizontal da porção 28, o recesso receptor ou os recessos podem receber livreraente o • pê ou os pês alinhados com a superfície do fundo do recipiente . sobreposto ajustando o ponto de nível mais alto da inclinação as - 6 -It will be appreciated that the height of the legs 22 should be such as to allow an adjustment inside the recesses 34 before or simultaneously with the engagement of the bottom surface 18 to the topmost point of the cap, ensuring the horizontal positioning of the overlapped vessel. On the other hand, if the height of the feet 22 is equal to the maximum height of the upper level portion 30 above the horizontal surface base of the portion 28, the receiving recess or the recesses can receive freely or feet aligned with the bottom surface of the container. superimposed by adjusting the highest level point of the slope as - 6 -
