Description

462 647 2 one will appear from the following description, which only constitute non-limiting examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a container according to the invention in a first area of use, 'a Fig. 2 shows the container of Fig. 1 after opening, and Fig. 3 shows the same container in another use area.

The drawings show a container 1 for housing of food products, especially caramels, such as small ones chocolate eggs E.

The container 1 is essentially composed of a hollow housing 2 comprising two cup-shaped bodies 3, 4, which can be assembled detachably in a front interconnect lazy mode.

The two bodies 3, 4 are two half-casings of plastic material, which after joining together defines an approximately egg-shaped casing.

The body 3 is made of transparent, shaped plastic material while the body 4 is made of opaque plastic material.

Both the body 3 and the body 4 have shaped decorative elements attached to it, for example with ultrasonic welding to give the container itself an animal-like appearance. seeing. Thus, in the embodiment shown, there are two lower bone-shaped parts 5 and a group of upper-shaped parts lar 6, which together define the nose, eyes and the ears of a small dog, attached to the transparent take the body 3. On the other hand, another shaped part 7, which defines the dog's tail, attached to the bottom of it second cup-shaped body 4.

Legs 5 define support intended to support the pure l in a position corresponding to the upright position for the animal.

As best seen in Fig. 2, which shows the container 1 partially disassembled, a separator part 8 is inserted between 462 647 3 the two bodies 3, 4 and acts as an internal wall to the housing 2 to divide the housing into two chambers, substantially corresponding to the two bodies 3 and 4.

The casing 2 "front" chamber, ie the chamber which corresponds to the body 3, on which the dog's forelegs 5 and snout 6 are mounted, the eggs E contain when the container is compound. The "rear" chamber of the housing, however other decorative elements 9, which consist of e.g. only marks of plastic material or fabric, the use of which will be better explained below.

The free edges of the two cup-shaped bodies 3, 4 are circular. The free edge of the body 3 also has a recess , as when the two bodies 3, 4 are composed of their free edges fitting, defines a slit 12 with the free edge of the body 4 (Fig. 3). The position of the recess 10 is selected depending on the location of the shaped parts (legs) ) which defines the support of the container, so that when the container placed on a flat surface, the slot 12 is more or less turn upwards.

Preferably, the separator part 8 has a substantially plate-shaped construction, in which it is possible to distinguish a curved or plate-shaped bottom wall and a cylindrical side wall 13 extending along a circular path with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the circular path along which the free edges of the two bodies 3 and 4 extend.

When assembling the container, separate the the torso part 8 as a lid to the body 4 after that the decorative elements 9 have been inserted into the body.

Consequently, the closed body 4 is connected to body 3, in which the small eggs E have been placed. Hop- the coupling of the two bodies is generally performed by that the free edges of the two bodies 3, 4, which have complementary profiles, available in snap engagement mutual.

The insulation of the front and rear chambers of the housing from the environment is made more efficient by means of an annular 4-62 647 4 tape 14 of adhesive material, which is wound around the casing 2 to cover the interconnection zone between the two bodies 3, 4. The adhesive band 14 extends as one closure for recess 10, and further reinforces the connection between the bodies 3, 4.

The composite container has the appearance of shown in Fig. 1.

To devour the small eggs E, the user takes remove the adhesive tape 14, as shown schematically in Fig. 2, and separating the two bodies 3 and 4. It chambers containing eggs E are thus made available to allow the removal of the products which stored therein.

After swallowing the eggs E, the container 1 can be assembled, after which the separator part 8 is removed the fact that the decorative elements 9 in the body 4 have been taken out.

In the new construction of the device, the container assumes In the overall impression shown in Fig. 3. In this stand can coins M, banknotes, and similar items to be stored is inserted into the housing 2 via the slot 12 as defined of the recess 10.

Thus, the container 1 in this second use area as a money box.

The elements 9 taken from the body 4 can be attached one of the bodies 3, 4 to further decorate the be-. the holder.

In the embodiment shown, the decorative elements the element 9 is attached to the container 2, in order to simulate the on the animal represented by the container 1.
