Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container comprising a container portion and a lid portion which projects beyond the peripheral side walls of the container portion and is fastened thereto, one side wall of two opposed side walls of the container portion being higher than the other.
  • the invention relates to a container for food or other material and particularly, but not exclusively, for nutritious and luxury foods such as curd cheese, the container having a lid which projects beyond the peripheral side walls and which can be attached by being clipped on or secured by an adhesive or by welding.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a container of this type which will make it possible for a plurality of such containers to be closely packed with maximum immobilisation during transportation and storage.
  • a container comprising acontainer portion and a lid which projects beyond the peripheral side walls of the container portion and can be fastened thereto, one side wall of two opposed side walls being higher than the other.
  • the said opposed side walls are arcuate in plan view.
  • a plurality of such containers can be arranged one behind the other so that the complementary profiles of their walls fit into one another.
  • the container according to the invention is not limited to any specific manufacturing process. It may be made of'plastics or other suitable materials. In order that the containers can be transported rationally when empty they must be stackable, and it is therefore desirable that their peripheral side walls should taper slightly in known manner.
  • the container according to the invention is intended'for ieceiving nutri tious and luxury foods, particularly milk products, as well as groceriesjof other types such as prepared salads and fats, it may also be used for other products, particularly for spreadable materials such as cosmetic skin creams, floor polishing wax and the like.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of an individual container according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates in plan view an alignment of several containers of the type shown in FIG. 1, the container shown at the bottom in the figure still being a short distance away from the row of containers,
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation of FIG. 2 as viewed from the right hand side of the figure,
  • FIG. 4 shows in plan view a row of containers constituting a different embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows in perspective view a row of containers constituting a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the container shown in FIG. 1 has two opposed broad sides 1 and 2 forming part of the peripheral side wall.
  • the sides 1 and 2 are arcuate in plan view and adjoin juxtaposed containers during packing for transpor' tation and storage, so that a plurality of such containers can be aligned as shown in plan view in FIG. 2. Since (as can be seen particularly from FIG. 3) the broad side 2 is slightly higher than the broad side 1 of the peripheral side wall of the container, the lid 3 of one container will slide below the lid of the adjacent container.
  • the opposed walls 1 and 2 are of a complementary polygonal shape, so thatjuxtaposed containers can again engage in one another.
  • the opposed walls of adjacent containers have no such complementary profiles and use is made only of the inventive feature that the side walls differ slightly in height; the lids of these containers can be seen to overlap one another in accordance with the invention.
  • the upper ends of the side walls are outwardly flanged and the lid 3 is secured to the flanges by any suitable means, such as by an adhesive or welding.
  • a container comprising a container portion having an opening closed by a lid portion.
  • said container portion comprising a flat base portion having upstanding peripheral side walls having outwardly directed peripheral flanges at the upper edges thereof.
  • said lid portion being secured to said peripheral flanges and extending to the edges of the flanges, one of said side walls of two opposed side walls being of greater height than the other so that the plane of the lid and peripheral flanges is inclined to the plane of the base, said two opposed side walls being longer than the side walls interconnecting said two opposed side walls, one of said two opposed side walls being concave in plan view and the other of said two side walls being convex in plan view with respect to the interior of the container, whereby a series of such containers can be laterally adjacently disposed with said flanges overlapping and with said convex side wall of one container tightly fitting against the concave side wall of an adjacent container.
