Description

CONTAINER EQUIPPED WITH TAMPER EVIDENT CLOSURE
The present invention refers to a container equipped with a closure of the tamper evident type, in particular a container for packaging foodstuff and for exhibiting them in a sales point, equipped with a tamper evident closure adapted to point out the first occurred opening of the container safeguarding the product contained therein from possible counterfeiting.
Numerous types of containers equipped with a closure of the tamper evident type are known.
There remain anyway the need of making containers which can be easily manufactured and equipped with a closure of the tamper evident type which, in addition to pointing out the occurred first opening of the container, is anyway complex to be opened when the container is arranged on a shelf of a sales point, to counteract the removal of the product contained therein before its purchase .

Object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing a container equipped with a closure of the tamper evident type which can be easily and economically manufactured, which counteracts the opening of the container before its purchase, for example when it is exhibited on a shelf of a sales point.
The above and other objects and advantages of the invention, as will appear from the following description, are obtained with a container equipped with a tamper evident closure as claimed in claim 1. Preferred embodiments and non-trivial variations of the present invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
It is intended that all enclosed claims are an integral part of the present description.
The present invention will be better described by some preferred embodiments thereof, provided as a non-limiting example, with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a container according to the present invention;
Figure 2 is a view of an enlarged part of an embodiment of an open container according to the present invention;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a closed container according to the present invention;
Figure 4 is a side sectional view of an enlarged part of an embodiment of a container according to the present invention;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a container according to the present invention with the tamper evident part bent ; and
Figure 6 is a side sectional view of an embodiment of a container according to the present invention with the tamper evident part bent .
With reference to the Figures, a preferred embodiment of the container equipped with a closure of the tamper evident type of the present invention is shown and described. It will be immediately obvious that numerous variations and modifications (for example related to shape, sizes, arrangements and parts with equivalent functionality) can be made to what is described, without departing from the scope of the invention as appears from the enclosed claims.
The container 10 equipped with closure of the tamper evident type of the present invention comprises a base 11 and a cover 12 capable of being closed again on the base 11.
The base 11 comprises a base wall 21 connected to at least one side wall 22; preferably the base wall 21 has a polygonal shape, for example rectangular, squared, etc., or circular, oval, and the like, and the container 10 has substantially the shape of a parallelepiped, for example a polygonal (rectangular, squared, etc.) base, or of a cylinder, or a circular or oval base, etc.; said at least one side wall 22 of the base 11 can be slanted or substantially perpendicular to the base wall 21.
Preferably, the base 11 and the cover 12 are made of plastic material, for example PET, APET, PS, PP, OPS.
The base 11 comprises a mouth 15 and a first edge 23 obtained around the mouth 15, in a preferred way connected to the side wall 22, more preferably connected to the upper end of the side wall 22; the base 11 further comprises a second edge 24 connected to the first edge 23 by a lower wall 25.
The cover 12 comprises a base wall 31 of the cover and an edge 32 connected to the base wall 31 and adapted to be assembled with interference on the first edge 23 of the base 11, preferably with the first edge 23 inserted inside the edge 32 through an opening 33 obtained at the base of the edge 32.
The cover 12 further comprises a tongue 16 connected to the edge 32 adapted to facilitate the grasp by a user, on which a bending and/or breaking line 26 is obtained, for example through an incision or with partial cuts, along which the bending and/or the breaking of the tamper evident tongue 16 is adapted to occur, to allow opening the container 10 providing evidence of the occurred opening; in a known way, the bending and/or breaking line 26 can be rectilinear, zig-zag shaped, undulated or in other known similar shapes.
Preferably, the first edge 23 and the second edge 24 form two small channels around the mouth 15 of the base 11 having a "U" -shaped section, shown in Figure 4, the edge 32 forms a small channel around the cover 12, also having a "U" -shaped section, and the small channel formed by the first edge 23 is adapted to be assembled with interference inside the small channel formed by the edge 32 of the cover 12; in a preferred way, the second edge 24 forms a small channel which passes around the tongue 16 when the cover 12 is closed on the base 11.
In a preferred way, the first edge 23 comprises a first internal wall 27, connected to the side wall 22 of the base 11, a first external wall 28, connected to the lower wall 25 and a first upper wall 29, connected to the first internal wall 27 and to the first external wall 28.
In a preferred way, the edge 32 of the cover 12 comprises an internal wall 37, connected to the base wall 31 of the cover 12, an external wall 38 and an upper wall 39 connected to the internal wall 37 and to the external wall 38.
The first upper wall 29 of the first edge 23 has sizes greater than those of the opening 33 of the edge 32, to assemble with interference the first edge 23 of the base 11 inside the edge 32 of the cover 12 when the cover 12 is closed on the base 11; in a preferred way, the first upper wall 29 of the first edge 23 is then in contact with the upper wall 39 of the edge 32, and the first internal wall 27 and external wall 28 of the first edge 23 are in contact respectively with the internal wall 37 and external wall 38 of the edge 32.
The edge 32 of the cover 12 further comprises a lower wall 35 of the edge 32 connected to the external wall 38 and adapted to be assembled in contact with the lower wall 25 which connects the first edge 23 to the second edge 24 of the base 11, when the cover 12 is closed on the base 11.
In a preferred way, the second edge 24 comprises a second internal wall 47, connected to the lower wall 25, a second external wall 48 and a second upper wall 49, connected to the second internal wall 47 and to the second external wall 48.
When the cover 12 is closed on the base 11 with the edge 32 of the cover 12 assembled with interference on the first edge 23 of the base 11, the tongue 16 is overlapped to the lower wall 25 which connects the first edge 23 to the second edge 24 of the base 11 and arrives next to the second edge 24, preferably next to the second internal wall 47; in this way, advantageously, the second edge 24 makes it difficult to access to the tongue 16; more preferably, the tongue 16 arrives next to the second edge 24, preferably next to the second internal wall 47, in order to leave room enough for inserting a finger between the edge of the tongue 16 and the second edge 24, preferably the second internal wall 47, to lift and bend and/or break the tongue 16.
In the container 10 of the invention shown in Figure 6, the bending and/or breaking line 26 is obtained on the tongue 16, in order to bent the tongue 16 along the bending and/or breaking line 26 to lift it and open the cover 12; alternatively, the tongue 16 can be broken along the bending and/or breaking line 26.
