Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un récipient plus particulièrement destiné à recevoir séparément deux produits différents, selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a container more particularly intended for separately receiving two different products, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Un tel récipient est connu du brevet FR 1577 973 concernant un récipient composite permettant de recevoir et de conserver stérilement et séparément des produits, en particulier des produits pharmaceutiques. Ce récipient est apte seulement à permettre le mélange d'un liquide avec un solide ou de deux liquides, car il nécessite une agitation pour mêler les deux composants. Ce récipient n'est pas utilisable dans le domaine alimentaire pour le mélange de produits plus visqueux.Such a container is known from patent FR 1577 973 concerning a composite container making it possible to receive and store sterile and separately products, in particular pharmaceutical products. This container is only suitable for allowing the mixing of a liquid with a solid or two liquids, since it requires stirring to mix the two components. This container cannot be used in the food industry for mixing more viscous products.
Dans la distribution de produits alimentaires par exemple, il est parfois désirable d'emballer séparément deux produits dans un même emballage pour éviter la réaction de l'un avec l'autre avant consommation. Il en est ainsi dans certains cas des fruits et des produits laitiers. Par la suite, les deux produits peuvent être mélangés, mais cela ne va pas toujours sans débordements, coulures et autres désagréments.In the distribution of food products for example, it is sometimes desirable to package two products separately in the same package to avoid the reaction of one with the other before consumption. This is the case in some cases with fruits and dairy products. Subsequently, the two products can be mixed, but this is not always without overflows, drips and other inconveniences.
Le problème est de faciliter le mélange des deux produits primitivement séparés dans deux récipients distincts, un extérieur et un intérieur.The problem is to facilitate the mixing of the two originally separated products in two separate containers, an exterior and an interior.
Selon l'invention, le récipient intérieur est suspendu dans le récipient extérieur par un organe souple disposé à la partie supérieure dudit récipient intérieur et susceptible de s'effacer.According to the invention, the inner container is suspended in the outer container by a flexible member disposed at the top of said inner container and capable of being erased.
D'autres particularités de l'invention apparaissent dans les revendicaitons dépendantes.Other features of the invention appear in the dependent claims.
Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.
La Figure 1 est une coupe axiale du récipient composite.Figure 1 is an axial section of the composite container.
La Figure 2 est une vue de dessus du même récipient.Figure 2 is a top view of the same container.
Au dessin, 1 est un récipient extérieur comportant une bordure conique 2. Un récipient intérieur 4 plus petit est placé dans le récipient extérieur, de telle sorte qu'il puisse coulisser dans ce dernier. La paroi latérale 3 du récipient extérieur comporte des cannelures qui ménagent des canaux entre les deux récipients.In the drawing, 1 is an outer container having a
En variante, le récipient intérieur est cannelé et l'autre lisse, ou les deux sont cannelés, ou les deux sont lisses et les parois latérales sont séparées par un espace.Alternatively, the inner container is fluted and the other smooth, or both are fluted, or both are smooth and the side walls are separated by a space.
Le récipient intérieur comporte des pattes souples 5 et 6 par lesquelles il est suspendu dans le récipient extérieur. Le récipient intérieur 4 étant moins profond que le récipient extérieur 1, il y a un espace entre le fond des deux récipients.The inner container has
Dans une forme d'exécution préférée, le fond 7 du récipient intérieur est de forme générale conique, le fond du récipient extérieur étant de forme semblable. En variante, le fond est bombé vers le haut.In a preferred embodiment, the bottom 7 of the inner container is of generally conical shape, the bottom of the outer container being of similar shape. Alternatively, the bottom is curved upwards.
Le récipient intérieur et le récipient extérieur sont fermés de manière conventionnelle par un opercule 8 collé sur le bord du récipient extérieur.The inner container and the outer container are closed in a conventional manner by a cover 8 glued to the edge of the outer container.
A titre d'exemple, le récipient intérieur 4 est rempli d'un produit laitier tel que du yaourt et l'espace compris entre le fond 7 du récipient intérieur et le fond du récipient extérieur est rempli de crème fouettée.For example, the inner container 4 is filled with a dairy product such as yogurt and the space between the bottom 7 of the inner container and the bottom of the outer container is filled with whipped cream.
Pour le mélange et la consommation du contenu, le consommateur enlève d'abord l'opercule 8, puis il plonge une cuillère dans le récipient intérieur jusqu'à ce que celle-ci rencontre le fond 7; sa forme conique guide l'extrémité de la cuillère vers le centre. En continuant à pousser vers le bas avec la cuillère, les pattes 5 et 6 cèdent, se rabattent vers l'intérieur et le récipient intérieur descend. Ce faisant, la crème fouettée contenue dans le bas du récipient extérieur monte par les cannelures des parois 3 du récipient extérieur, puis tombe dans le récipient intérieur sur le yaourt. Lorsque le récipient intérieur a atteint le fond du récipient extérieur, le yaourt est surmonté de crème fouettée, et prêt à la consommation.For the mixing and the consumption of the contents, the consumer first removes the cover 8, then he immerses a spoon in the inner container until it meets the bottom 7; its conical shape guides the end of the spoon towards the center. Continuing to push down with the spoon, the
