Description

Technical field

The claimed technical solution relates, in General, to containers for accommodating sealed products, such as, for example, textile products having in the initial state a larger volume than the volume of the container, and in particular, to luggage suitcases for travelers.

State of the art

Products from some materials, such as textiles, occupy a volume that can be significantly reduced if the product is placed in an airtight space and air is evacuated. This removes air between the fibers of the material, and the material is compacted.

Sealed bags with a valve for removing air are widely known in the art to reduce the volume of contents. Such packages have drawbacks: the size of the packages, as a rule, does not correspond to the size of the container into which they are placed, which leads to incomplete filling of the container when several packages are packed, or after pumping air out of the package, it turns out that it does not fit into the container. Packages require the maintenance of rarefaction of air until the end of the packing and closing of the container, however, they are easily damaged and lose their tightness, which when used leads to an increase in their volume even before filling the container. In addition, the process of packing products in packages is not always convenient due to the small loading area.

According to US 2005/017439, a cover is known comprising a sheath for textiles. This shell contains a valve designed to remove air contained within the shell, which allows you to compress the products enclosed inside this shell. In accordance with patent RU 2490187 C2, an improved vacuum cover for storing things and a bag for storing things and / or transporting them, including such a cover having an additional shell and a plate for forming a base in the shape of a box for packing in a bag, are known. Such covers require individual manufacture for use with a particular bag, have a complex shape and include additional elements.

The devices considered above to perform the function of sealing the products placed in them require complete tightness until the end of the packaging.

Utility Model Disclosure

The objective of the proposed utility model is to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages of the known devices and create a rigid or semi-rigid container design that allows the placement of products from sealed materials, such as, for example, textile products, with maximum use of volume and a convenient loading area.

To solve this problem, a rigid or semi-rigid closed packaging made of airtight material, usually made in the form of a parallelepiped, is proposed. The container consists of a base, two side and two end walls and an opening lid. In addition, the container is equipped with a removable flexible airtight diaphragm installed along the contour of the loading zone and with dimensions sufficient to cover uncompressed placed products. Also, the loading area is closed by a lid. An opening with a removable plug is made in one of the container walls, through which air is pumped out, and, accordingly, vacuum is maintained until the lid closes.

Thus, the presence of a diaphragm covering the loaded products creates a closed volume together with the loaded part of the container, and an opening in one of the container walls allows air to be pumped out, providing sealing of the placed products throughout the volume to sizes that allow closing the lid. The technical result is the use of the entire loaded volume of the container, the increase in the area of the loading zone, which with this solution is almost equal to the area of the lid, and the location of the hole in one of the walls of the container allows you to close the lid when the pump is connected, thereby reducing the requirements for tightness.

In the case of ensuring the tightness of the structure sufficient to keep the products in a sealed state, a valve can be installed in the hole for pumping air, which will allow to maintain a vacuum inside the container after turning off the pump, as well as to remove some of the air without using the pump by mechanical compression of the placed products.

For ease of use, the diaphragm can be made of several parts with sealed detachable joints.

If the volume of the loaded products is slightly larger than the volume of the container, then the container cover made of two parts connected by flexible airtight inserts on the side faces can be used as a diaphragm.

In the case when loading into a deep container of a large number of products is required, for example, into a container for storing or transporting products, it is possible to use intermediate diaphragms for loading and sealing products in several stages.

In the design of containers, it is possible to provide for the placement of an integrated pump for pumping air.

Utility Model Implementation

Embodiments of a utility model will now be described with reference to FIG. 1 ... 4

According to the first embodiment in FIG. 1 shows a suitcase with an open lid. When the diaphragm is open, the articles 4 are placed in the cavity of the suitcase 1. In the uncompressed state, the articles 4 have a volume larger than the volume of the cavity of the suitcase 1 and prevent the lid from being closed 2. The articles 4 are covered with a diaphragm 3 having dimensions sufficient to cover the articles. The edges of the diaphragm are hermetically connected to the walls of the suitcase along the contour of the loading zone. From the volume that forms the cavity of the suitcase 1 with the placed products 4 and the diaphragm 3, air is pumped out through an opening 5 located in one of the walls. The degree of tightness of the structure should provide the possibility of pumping air from the resulting volume with a vacuum sufficient to seal the products. Evacuation of air can be carried out, for example, with a household vacuum cleaner.

After evacuation of air, the structure takes on the form as shown in FIG. 2. The diaphragm 3 together with the sealed products 4 are inside the cavity of the suitcase 1 and no longer prevent the closure of the lid 2. The lid of the suitcase is closed and the pump is turned off. After turning off the pump, the volume occupied by the product is limited by the internal volume of the suitcase with the lid closed.

In FIG. Figure 3 shows a possible embodiment of the utility model, in which instead of the diaphragm, a cover 2 with flexible inserts 6 on the side faces is used.

When the lid 2 is open, placed products are placed in the cavity of the suitcase 1. The width of the flexible inserts 6 ensures that the lid 2 of the suitcase 1 is closed with the products placed in an uncompressed state. with flexible inserts 6, air is pumped out through opening 5.

After pumping out the air and sealing the placed products 4, the structure takes the form, as shown in FIG. 4. Flexible inserts 6 are folded into the cavity of the suitcase and the two parts of the lid 2 are interconnected by a lock, for example, of the “lightning” type, which will hold the flexible inserts 6 in the folded state after turning off the pump. After turning off the pump, the volume occupied by the product, as in the first embodiment, is limited by the internal volume of the suitcase with the lid closed.

The given implementation examples do not limit the use of the solution for other cases, and, of course, should not be of any restrictive nature for the proposed utility model.
