Definitions

  • the invention relates to a double-compartment container, of the type having the features mentioned in the preamble of the principal claim .
  • containers having two compartments, each provided with a respective lid, for the purpose of containing and allowing the use of two different products by means of a single container.
  • US Patent 748,329 which describes a container for salt and pepper having two compartments arranged in vertical alignment, in which the salt and pepper, respectively, are placed.
  • these containers are adapted for specific uses (the first for salt and pepper, the second for food products that must be visible when exposed, and the third for gels or other cosmetic products that are typically contained in small bottles), and are not easily adaptable for other uses.
  • the known containers are found to be unsuitable for containing cleansing products for personal hygiene, such as body cleansers and shampoos.
  • the fundamental technical problem of the present invention is therefore that of providing a double-compartment container which is structurally and functionally designed to overcome all the aforementioned drawbacks of the cited prior art.
  • one object of the invention is to provide a double-compartment container adapted to contain a body cleanser and a shampoo, or other cleansing products which are similar but are intended to meet different requirements.
  • a further object is to provide a double-compartment container that is easily squeezable for dispensing the product, while still being robust.
  • Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a container according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a partially sectional side view of a container according to the present invention in an alternative embodiment.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the container of Figure 2.
  • a double-compartment container is indicated as a whole by the reference numeral 100.
  • the container 100 comprises a first portion 1 and a second portion 2, intended to form respective side walls of the container.
  • the first and second portions are also joined to one another by a common base 3, formed in one piece with the portions 1 and 2. Consequently the portions 1 and 2, together with the base 3, form a pair of compartments CI and C2 which extend on opposite sides of the base 3.
  • each portion 1 and 2 there is also formed a respective opening 10 and 20, shown schematically in the drawing, adapted to allow the dispensing of the product present in the compartments CI and C2.
  • the openings 10 and 20 are made at ends of the corresponding compartments opposite the base 3.
  • the openings 10 and 20 and the base 3 are axially aligned.
  • the container 100 has a predominantly axial extension, with its longitudinal axis of extension indicated by the letter X in Figure 1. It may therefore be noted that, according to a preferred embodiment, the openings 10 and 20 are aligned with the axis X.
  • the container 100 further comprises a pair of reclosable closure members 11 and 12, intended to close the openings 10 and 20 respectively.
  • the caps 11 and 12 are fastened by snap-fitting, or by a threaded connection, or are joined by means of labels or connections to the portions 1 and 2.
  • the closure members 11 and 21 each comprise a respective removable tab 12, 22, which can be snap-fitted on to the closure members 11 and 21 so as to simplify the opening and closing of the container.
  • the removable tabs 12, 22 are each fastened to the respective closure member by means of a flexible connection, in such a way that the tab remains fixed to the container even after the opening 10 or 20 has been opened.
  • the walls of the portions 1 and 2 have a lower thickness than that of the base 3, and, in particular, the thickness of the base is at least twice as great as that of the walls.
  • the container 100 is hourglass-shaped, and therefore has a narrower central part, substantially coinciding with the base 3, making it easier to grasp.
  • the container may have a different shape, such as a cylindrical, squared or elliptical shape.
  • Figure 2 shows a variant of the container according to the present invention with a cylindrical shape.
  • the portions 1 and 2 are made in such a way that the compartments CI and C2 are separable from one another.
  • each portion has a respective half-based 3', 3" which can be joined to one another by suitable connecting means 31, such as a threaded connection, a press-fitting connection, or a snap- fitting connection.
  • the common base 3 is therefore formed by two half- bases and has an overall thickness greater than that of the walls of the portions, in a similar way to the preceding embodiment.
  • closure members 11 and 12 preferably each have respective flat end surface 13, 23, allowing the container to be placed on a surface, thus increasing its practicality for use.
  • the container 100 is made of plastic material, for example high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • HDPE high-density polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the invention resolves the problem which was proposed, while providing a number of advantages, including the possibility of using a single container for different products to be used while showering or bathing.
  • the container is proved to be particularly advantageous when used to contain any type of cosmetic, such as liquid soap, bubble bath, shower gel, shampoo, balm, fluid cream, sun cream or intimate wash, in the two separate chambers.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un contenant qui comprend une première et une seconde partie, chacune adaptée à définir une paroi périmétrique respective, ainsi qu'une base commune à laquelle sont reliées les parties, les parties s'étendant dans des directions axialement opposées par rapport à la base commune, de sorte que chacune définisse un compartiment respectif délimité par l'une des parties et par la base commune. Une ouverture respective est formée dans chacun des compartiments afin de distribuer des produits. Les ouvertures sont coiffées d'éléments de fermeture du type refermables et l'épaisseur des parois définies par les parties est inférieure à celle de la base commune.
