Definitions

  • the invention concerns an odor-proof container, especially for food, with a container cover, in which an elastic seal is arranged, having at least one sealing lip, which presses against the container wall laterally in the area of the container edge.
  • Such containers are known, in particular, in the food area, in order to store substances odor-proof, on the one hand, but, at the same time, have them readily accessible.
  • the cover is therefore supposed to be quickly removable and positionable again.
  • Previous containers like preserving jars with pressure seals, require fastening devices (for example, clamping hinges or tilting closures), which apply the necessary sealing pressure, but which generally can only be opened or closed with two hands.
  • the pressure seals can also plastically deform with time and/or acquire cracks and therefore become untight.
  • an air cushion lying in the space above the sealing lip(s) can be formed during the closure process, which creates a counterforce in the fashion of a pneumatic spring, which counteracts the closure movement and can lead to a situation in which the container cover is moved back a bit from the completely closed end position.
  • the task of the invention is therefore to eliminate the problems just outlined and provide an odor-proof container that is simple to open and close and does not spring-back during closure.
  • the feature combination according to the invention has the advantage that a sufficiently large air volume is created by the formed compensation space, so that the pressure above the sealing lip(s) hardly rises at all from the closure process and the undesired “spring effect” is absent.
  • Another advantage is that liquids that penetrate into the space behind the seal during the cleaning process (especially in a dishwasher) can flow out.
  • the feature of claim 3 permits a compact design and a simple production by means of injection molding.
  • the feature of claim 5 guarantees a rigid structure and prevents unduly large compliance of the seal during use.
  • the feature of claim 6 permits a structure that is simple in design and at the same time rigid.
  • the feature of claim 9 permits a compact and largely incompressible structure of the seal.
  • the feature of claim 10 permits a greater sealing and holding effect in comparison with an individual sealing lip.
  • the feature of claim 12 protects the partition from damage during incorrect positioning of the cover through the container edge.
  • the feature of claim 13 guarantees sufficient pressure compensation and sufficient outflow capability for water.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a container
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial section of the container of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective cutout view of a seal
  • FIG. 4 shows a detail view of a support rib.
  • the container 10 depicted in FIGS. 1 to 4 includes a container 12 open on the top, as well as a cover 14 that can be mounted odor-proof on it.
  • FIG. 2 A cutout of the container 10 is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the wall 16 of the container 12 in the area of the upper edge 18 has a shoulder 20 , on which the edge 22 of cover 14 fits.
  • An inside wall 24 is also molded onto cover 12 , which defines a continuous seal receiving space 28 between it and the cover wall 26 , in which a seal 30 is inserted.
  • This seal includes a support wall 32 , on whose lower end two sealing lips 34 are molded. These sealing lips 34 are configured, so that they lie sealed against the inside of the container edge 18 .
  • a partition 36 is molded onto support wall 32 above the sealing lips 34 , which lies against the cover wall 26 on the inside.
  • an end wall 38 is molded on the upper end of the support wall 32 .
  • Cross-like support ribs 40 extend between the partition 36 and end wall 38 .
