Description

This utility model relates to containers containing a vessel and a lid for storing food products.

In particular, the utility model relates to containers containing a vessel, the upper edge of which does not have any special design for attaching the lid.

No. 2,487,400 discloses a vessel, the upper edge of which forms a bulge, and a lid having a wall that is surrounded by a lip that forms a groove into which the upper edge of the vessel enters. The disadvantage of this design is that in order to achieve a sufficiently tight seal, it is necessary to establish strict geometric tolerances.

One of the objectives of this utility model is to develop a container with a sufficiently tight closure containing a vessel, the upper edge of which does not have any special design for attaching the lid and which does not require the establishment of strict geometric tolerances.

To accomplish this task, a container is proposed comprising a vessel and a lid, the vessel having a side wall with an upper edge forming an inner thickening, the lid having a locking wall on which an outer annular protrusion is provided, which can rest on the inner thickening when the lid is put on the vessel, moreover, the locking wall has a supporting annular portion resting on the upper edge when the lid closes the vessel, and an external annular groove located between the outer annular protrusion is made in the locking wall pom and the support ring portion, the outer annular shoulder and an outer annular groove formed on the bottom edge, projecting from the locking wall, wherein the bottom edge is elastically deformable to accommodate internal thickening in the outer annular groove. Thus, the lower edge abuts against the inner surface of the vessel, pressing the annular portion of the lid against the upper edge of the vessel. As a result, a double annular support can be obtained - on the upper edge of the vessel and under the inner thickening of the vessel. This allows for proper closure of the container, especially in cases where strict geometric tolerances are set on the upper edge of the vessel.

In addition, the lid preferably has a lower flange located outside of the supporting annular portion. This design allows you to raise the peripheral portion of the lid in order to release the outer annular grooves of the lid from the inner thickening of the vessel.

In addition, the lower flange preferably surrounds the supporting annular portion. This design allows you to increase the rigidity of the peripheral portion of the cover and achieve its reliable closure. In addition, this design facilitates the release of the outer annular grooves of the cover.

In addition, the upper edge preferably forms an outer bulge so that the locking wall has an inner annular groove made in the lower flange, and the outer bulge is installed in the inner annular groove when the lid closes the vessel. This design contributes to even better pressing of the supporting annular portion of the lid to the upper edge of the vessel. An annular support can be formed not only on the upper edge of the vessel and under the inner thickening of the vessel, but also under the external thickening of the vessel. In this case, the closure of the tank becomes even more reliable.

According to one embodiment, the lower flange forms a peripheral portion of the lid.

In addition, the lower edge is preferably deeper relative to the lower flange. This design also helps to increase the rigidity of the peripheral part of the cover and facilitates the removal of the cover. In addition, this design allows you to place the lid on the work plane without touching the parts of the lid in contact with the vessel with the specified work plane.

In addition, the locking wall preferably has a concave central portion surrounded by a lower edge. This design facilitates the removal of the lid, while preventing or limiting the effect of the suction cup after cooling the product in the closed lid of the vessel.

In addition, the locking wall preferably has a convex annular portion located between the concave central portion and the lower edge. This design increases the rigidity of the peripheral portion of the cover and makes it easier to remove the cover.

In addition, the side wall preferably has an inwardly facing upper portion. This design facilitates the fastening of the cover.

In addition, the upper edge preferably delimits a substantially circular upper hole. This design contributes to the reliable fastening of the lid inside the vessel.

According to one preferred embodiment, the vessel is made of glass.

According to one preferred embodiment, the lid is made of one material. This design allows you to get economical in the manufacture of the cover.

In addition, the lid is preferably made of semi-rigid plastic material, for example, low density polyethylene.

The essence of the utility model will become more clear from the consideration of the example implementation, which is not restrictive and illustrated in the attached drawings, where:

figure 1 is a front view in section, illustrating a household electric yogurt maker containing at least one container according to a utility model;

FIG. 2 is an isometric plan view illustrating the lid of the container of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is an isometric plan view illustrating a container vessel of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a sectional front view illustrating the cap of FIG. 2;

5 is a sectional front view illustrating the vessel of FIG. 3;

Fig.6 is a front view in section, illustrating the capacity of Fig.1, where the lid of Fig.2 and 4 is connected to the vessel of Fig.3 and 5.

The household electric yogurt maker shown in FIG. 1 has a heating base 1 over which a casing 2 is located, wherein the heating base 1 and the casing 2 form a chamber 3 in which at least one container 4 is placed. In the chamber 3 can be placed, for example , seven tanks 4.

The container 4 contains a vessel 10, which is better visible in figure 3, 5 and 6, and a cover 20, which is better visible in figure 2, 4 and 6.

The vessel 10 may be made of any material suitable for use in contact with a food product, for example, a transparent material. This vessel 10 can be made, for example, of glass.

The vessel 10 has a side wall 11 with an upper edge 12. In accordance with a particular embodiment shown in the drawings, the side wall 11 has an inwardly facing upper portion 13. The upper edge 12 defines an upper opening 14 of a substantially circular shape.

As is more clearly shown in FIG. 5, the upper edge 12 forms an inner thickening 15. Thus, the side wall 11 has a lower inner retaining collar 17 under the inner thickening 15. In addition, the upper edge 12 forms an outer thickening 16. Thus, the side wall 11 has a lower outer retaining flange 18 under the outer thickening 16.

The cover 20 is made, at least in part, of an elastically deformable material. The cover 20 can be made of one or several materials. The cover 20 may be, in particular, made of semi-rigid plastic material, for example, low density polyethylene.

The cover 20 has a locking wall 21 containing a supporting annular portion 22, which rests on the upper edge 12 of the vessel 10, when the cover 20 closes the vessel 10, as shown in figures 4 and 6.

In addition, the locking wall 21 contains an outer annular protrusion 23, which can be supported by the inner bulge 15 when the cover 20 is put on the vessel 10. In this configuration, the cover 20 does not clog the vessel 10.

An outer annular groove 24 is provided in the locking wall 21, located between the outer annular protrusion 23 and the supporting annular portion 22.

An outer annular protrusion 23 and an outer annular groove 24 are formed on the lower edge 30 protruding from the locking wall 21. The lower edge 30 is formed by the lower annular wall, which has a free end 32 and a second end, which is a continuation of the locking wall 21 of the cover 20.

The lower edge 30 has an outer structural member 31 defining a threshold between the outer annular protrusion 23 and the outer annular groove 24. The lower edge 30 is resiliently formed to accommodate the inner thickening 15 of the vessel 10 inside the outer annular groove 24 of the lid 20, as shown in FIG. 6.

In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the cover 20 comprises a lower flange 40, which is located outside the supporting annular portion 22. The lower flange 40 extends from the locking wall 21 and surrounds the supporting annular portion 22. Thus, the lower flange 40 surrounds the lower edge 30. As best seen in figure 4, the lower edge 30 is deeper relative to the lower flange 40, while the lower flange 40 forms a peripheral portion of the cover 20.

An inner annular groove 25 is formed in the locking wall 21. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the inner annular groove 25 is formed in the lower flange 40 and is located opposite the outer annular groove 24. Thus, in the lid 20 there is a peripheral groove 26 extending between the lower flange 40 and bottom edge 30.

The lower flange 40 has an inner annular structural element 41 defining a threshold surrounding the inner annular groove 25. Thus, the inner annular structural element 41 and the outer annular structural element 31 define a threshold that the outer thickening 16 and the inner thickening 15 of the vessel 10 must overcome due to the elastic deformation of the cover 10, and more specifically, the elastic deformation of the lower edge 30 and the lower flange 40.

An outer thickening 16 of the vessel 10 is installed in the inner annular groove 25 when the lid 20 covers the vessel 10, as shown in Fig.6. If necessary, the lower flange 40 may be elastically deformed to enter the outer bulge 16 into engagement with the inner annular groove 25.

The locking wall 21 comprises a concave central portion 50 surrounded by a lower edge 30. The locking wall 21 has a convex annular portion 51 located between the concave central portion 50 and the lower edge 30.

Proposed in accordance with the utility model, the device operates as follows.

To close the container 4, the user must engage the lower edge 30 of the lid 20 with the upper edge 12 of the vessel 10 and press on the peripheral section of the lid 20 so that the upper edge 12 of the vessel 10 is engaged with the peripheral groove 26 of the lid 20. The lower inner the retaining flange 17 is included in the outer annular groove 24 of the lower edge 30, and the lower outer retaining flange 18 is included in the inner annular groove 25 of the lower flange 40.

In order to open the container 4, the user raises the lower flange 40, at least by the height of the part of the peripheral portion of the cover 20, if necessary, turning the lower flange 40 so as to release the inner thickening 15 of the upper edge 12 of the vessel 10 from the outer ring structural element 31 of the lower edges 30 of the cover 20.

According to another embodiment, the lower flange 40 need not be annular.

In accordance with another embodiment, instead of the lower flange 40, other means may be provided to release the inner thickening 15 of the upper edge 12 of the vessel 10 from the outer annular structural element 31 of the lower edge 30 of the lid 20, for example, any grip protruding from the peripheral portion of this covers 20.

This utility model is not limited to the embodiment described above and its specific examples, but covers a wide variety of modifications, provided that they do not go beyond the scope of legal protection stated in the utility model formula.
