Abstract

The set comprises two containers (1,6) each intended to contain one foodstuff before being mixed. An opener (14) is arranged such that in the closed position of the lid (2) of the first container, it opens the lid (19) of the second container, establishing communication between the two.

Description

Certains plats, avant consommation, nécessitent le mélange préalable de plusieurs denrées alimentaires.Certain dishes, before consumption, require the prior mixing of several foodstuffs.

Même s'il faut ici surtout songer à de la salade, qu'on mange après avoir remué ensemble des feuilles et une sauce d'assaisonnement liquide, il faut entendre, par denrées alimentaires, des denrées aussi bien solides que des denrées en poudre, pâteuses ou liquides.Even if you have to think about salad here, which you eat after stirred together the leaves and a liquid seasoning sauce, it should be understood, by foodstuffs, both solid and powdery, pasty foodstuffs or liquids.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention vise des denrées à mélanger dont l'une, à la longue, peut altérer l'autre et qu'il faut donc maintenir bien séparées l'une de l'autre, jusqu'à leur accommodation mutuelle, si on veut les stocker et les présenter à la vente ensemble, dans le cadre de plats prêts ou quasiment prêts à la consommation.More particularly, the invention relates to foodstuffs to be mixed, one of which, long, can alter the other and must therefore be kept well separated from each other, up to their mutual accommodation, if we want to store them and present them for sale together, as part of ready or almost ready-to-eat dishes.

L'invention concerne donc un ensemble de deux récipients destinés à contenir, chacun, au moins une denrée alimentaire, les deux denrées devant être mélangées avant consommation, et de leur moyens de fermeture respectifs, l'ensemble comportant des moyens d'ouverture agencés pour, en position de fermeture des moyens de fermeture d'un premier récipient, ouvrir au moins partiellement les moyens de fermeture du deuxième récipient et établir la communication entre les deux récipients.The invention therefore relates to a set of two containers intended for each contain at least one foodstuff, the two foodstuffs to be mixed before consumption, and their respective closing means, the whole comprising opening means arranged for, in the closed position of the means for closing a first container, at least partially opening the means of closing the second container and establishing communication between the two containers.

Grâce à l'invention, le mélange des denrées peut s'effectuer à l'intérieur du premier récipient encore pourvu de ses moyens de fermeture, par conséquent dans des conditions d'hygiène parfaites.Thanks to the invention, the mixing of the foodstuffs can be carried out inside the first container still provided with its closing means, consequently in perfect hygienic conditions.

Avantageusement, les moyens de fermeture du deuxième récipient et leurs moyens d'ouverture sont agencés pour que l'action de ceux-ci sur ceux-là soit conditionnée par une manoeuvre du consommateur.Advantageously, the means for closing the second container and their opening means are arranged so that the action of these on those is conditioned by a consumer move.

Ainsi, dans ce cas, les deux denrées sont assurément mélangées au moment opportun. On pourrait pratiquement dire que l'effet retard du deuxième récipient est garanti.So, in this case, the two commodities are certainly mixed at the time timely. You could practically say that the delay effect of the second container is guaranteed.

Dans une forme de réalisation intéressante de l'ensemble de l'invention, les moyens de fermeture du deuxième récipient et leurs moyens d'ouverture sont agencés pour que ceux-ci puissent dégager ceux-là du deuxième récipient.In an interesting embodiment of the assembly of the invention, the means for closing the second container and their opening means are arranged so that these can release these from the second container.

Dans ce cas, et avantageusement, les moyens de fermeture du deuxième récipient comprennent un opercule prolongé par une languette d'ouverture rabattable sur l'opercule pouvant s'étendre hors du premier récipient. In this case, and advantageously, the means for closing the second container include a cover extended by an opening tab which can be folded down the cover may extend out of the first container.

Alors, et de préférence, le deuxième récipient est partie intégrante du premier récipient, avantageusement de ses moyens de fermeture.Then, and preferably, the second container is an integral part of the first container, advantageously of its closing means.

Dans d'autres formes de réalisation possibles de l'ensemble de l'invention, les moyens de fermeture du deuxième récipient et leurs moyens d'ouverture sont agencés pour que ceux-ci puissent perforer ceux-là.In other possible embodiments of the whole of the invention, the closing means of the second container and their opening means are arranged so that these can perforate those.

Dans ce cas, l'ensemble peut comprendre des moyens de perforation solidaires du premier récipient et le deuxième récipient est monté sur le premier récipient pour être déplacé d'une position de verrouillage, dans laquelle les moyens de fermeture du deuxième récipient sont écartés des moyens de perforation, à une position de perforation, dans laquelle la communication entre les deux récipients est établie.In this case, the assembly may include perforation means integral with the first container and the second container is mounted on the first container to be moved from a locking position, in which the means for closure of the second container are moved away from the perforation means, at a position perforation, in which communication between the two containers is established.

Alors, l'ensemble peut être agencé pour que le deuxième récipient atteigne la position de perforation après un déplacement unidirectionnel.Then, the assembly can be arranged so that the second container reaches the perforation position after a unidirectional movement.

Dans ce cas, le deuxième récipient peut comprendre un bord périphérique annulaire, et le premier récipient peut comprendre des nervures de verrouillage agencées pour recevoir le bord du deuxième récipient, le maintenir ainsi en position de verrouillage mais permettre aussi son déverrouillage.In this case, the second container may include a peripheral edge annular, and the first container may include locking ribs arranged to receive the edge of the second container, keep it in position locking but also allow its unlocking.

Mais l'ensemble peut être aussi agencé pour que le deuxième récipient atteigne la position de perforation après un retournement.But the assembly can also be arranged so that the second container reaches the perforation position after turning over.

Dans ce cas, le deuxième récipient peut comporter un fond conformé pour recevoir les moyens de perforation, en position de verrouillage.In this case, the second container may have a shaped bottom for receiving the perforation means, in the locked position.

Avantageusement, le deuxième récipient est une capsule comportant un opercule de fermeture et le premier récipient peut comporter un couvercle de fermeture dans lequel est intégrée la capsule ou présentant un logement de réception de la capsule pourvu d'un fond communiquant au moins partiellement avec l'intérieur du récipient.Advantageously, the second container is a capsule comprising a closure lid and the first container may have a closure lid in which the capsule is integrated or having a housing for receiving the capsule provided with a bottom communicating at least partially with the interior of the container.

L'ensemble représenté sur les figures 1-4 comporte un premier récipient 1, ici en forme de bol, avec son couvercle 2.The assembly represented in FIGS. 1-4 comprises a first container 1, here in the shape of a bowl, with its cover 2.

Le bol 1 et son couvercle 2 sont tous deux globalement hémisphériques, d'axe commun 12, le rayon du couvercle étant beaucoup plus grand que le rayon du bol. Les bords 3, 4 du bol et de son couvercle (bordure) sont conformés pour permettre une bonne coopération entre les deux et assurer facilement la fermeture, avec une bonne étanchéité, et l'ouverture de ce premier récipient 1. En l'espèce, on a prévu une coopération par clip. La bordure (3, 4) de fermeture du récipient 1 permet aussi l'apposition d'un anneau 5 en film thermorétractable pour l'inviolabilité du récipient.The bowl 1 and its cover 2 are both generally hemispherical, of common axis 12, the radius of the cover being much larger than the radius of the bowl. The edges 3, 4 of the bowl and its lid (border) are shaped to allow good cooperation between the two and ensure easy closure, with good sealing, and the opening of this first container 1. In this case, a clip cooperation. The border (3, 4) for closing the container 1 also allows the affixing of a ring 5 of heat-shrinkable film for the inviolability of the container.

Le bol 1 et son récipient 2 sont avantageusement réalisés en matière plastique thermoformée ou injectée. Comme matière, on prendra une matière opaque ou transparente, de qualité élémentaire et recyclable. The bowl 1 and its container 2 are advantageously made of material thermoformed or injected plastic. As material, we will take an opaque material or transparent, of elementary quality and recyclable.

On remarquera qu'il est facile de prévoir une pluralité de bols de contenances diverses, avec un couvercle s'adaptant à tous ces bols.Note that it is easy to provide a plurality of bowls of various capacities, with a lid adapting to all these bowls.

Par transformation plastique, ici par thermoformage, on a créé, dans le couvercle 2, et dont il fait partie intégrante, un deuxième récipient 6, ouvert vers le bol 1, en position de fermeture du couvercle 2 sur le bol 1. Le deuxième récipient 6, en forme de capsule, présente un bord globalement annulaire 7 s'étendant sensiblement dans le même plan que le bord 4 du couvercle 2. La capsule 6 comporte une paroi latérale 8 globalement légèrement tronconique, évasée vers le bord 7 et se rétrécissant jusqu'à un fond 9 représentant grossièrement le sommet du couvercle 2. Une portion 10 du bord 7 est rectiligne, la portion de paroi correspondante étant plane, pour une raison qui va être présentée ci-après. La capsule 6 s'étend à l'intérieur d'un puits 11 thermoformé avec elle et, inversement, ouvert vers l'extérieur du couvercle 2, grâce à quoi, une pluralité de couvercles, comme celui qui vient d'être décrit, peuvent être empilés les uns sur les autres en une gerbe.By plastic transformation, here by thermoforming, we created, in the cover 2, of which it is an integral part, a second container 6, open towards the bowl 1, in the closed position of the cover 2 on the bowl 1. The second container 6, in capsule shape, has a generally annular edge 7 extending substantially in the same plane as the edge 4 of the cover 2. The capsule 6 has a wall lateral 8 generally slightly frustoconical, flared towards the edge 7 and narrowing up to a bottom 9 roughly representing the top of the cover 2. A portion 10 edge 7 is straight, the corresponding wall portion being planar, for a reason which will be presented below. The capsule 6 extends inside a well 11 thermoformed with it and, conversely, open towards the outside of cover 2, thanks to what, a plurality of covers, like the one just described, can be piled on top of each other in a sheaf.

Les moyens de fermeture de la capsule 6 comprennent un opercule 13, de forme adaptée au bord 7, 10 de la capsule, globalement cylindrique et qui se prolonge par une languette de largeur notablement inférieures au diamètre de l'opercule, que l'on rabat sur elle-même, après fermeture de la capsule par l'opercule, autour d'une zone de pli 15 s'étendant au droit de la portion rectiligne 10 du bord de la capsule, pour pouvoir facilement dégager l'opercule de la capsule, en tirant sur la languette.The closure means of the capsule 6 comprise a cover 13, of shape adapted to the edge 7, 10 of the capsule, generally cylindrical and which extends by a tongue of width significantly less than the diameter of the cover, which is flap on itself, after closure of the capsule by the cover, around an area of fold 15 extending in line with the rectilinear portion 10 of the edge of the capsule, in order to be able easily release the cap from the capsule, pulling on the tab.

La fixation de l'opercule 13 est réalisée ici par soudage de son bord annulaire 16 (15) sur le bord correspondant 7 (10) de la capsule.The cover 13 is fixed here by welding its edge annular 16 (15) on the corresponding edge 7 (10) of the capsule.

La languette 14 est suffisamment longue pour s'étendre au-delà du bord de son couvercle 2.The tongue 14 is long enough to extend beyond the edge of its cover 2.

Ayant décrit les deux récipients, abordons maintenant leur emploi.Having described the two containers, let us now turn to their use.

On remplit le bol 1 de feuilles de salade. Après avoir retourné le couvercle 2 et l'avoir posé sur son fond 9, on remplit la capsule 6 d'une sauce d'assaisonnement et on referme la capsule 6, constituant une réserve de sauce, en soudant l'opercule 13 par son bord 16 le long du bord 7, 10 de la capsule. On pose ensuite le couvercle 2 sur le bord 1, en ayant pris soin d'engager la languette 14 entre les deux éléments pour qu'elle dépasse hors du bol, on fixe l'extrémité adhésive 17 de la languette contre la paroi extérieure du bol, puis on clipse le couvercle 2 sur le bol 1, avant d'envelopper la bordure des deux éléments 1, 2 d'un anneau thermorétracté d'inviolabilité 5.We fill bowl 1 with salad leaves. After turning the cover over 2 and having placed it on its bottom 9, we fill the capsule 6 with a seasoning sauce and the capsule 6 is closed, constituting a reserve of sauce, by sealing the cover 13 by its edge 16 along the edge 7, 10 of the capsule. Then put the cover 2 on the edge 1, having taken care to engage the tongue 14 between the two elements so that it protrudes out of the bowl, the adhesive end 17 of the tongue is fixed against the wall outside of the bowl, then clip the cover 2 onto the bowl 1, before wrapping the border of the two elements 1, 2 of a heat-shrunk tamper-evident ring 5.

Inversement, avant consommation, et ayant enlevé l'anneau d'inviolabilité 5 et dégagé l'extrémité 17 de la languette 14, le consommateur tire dessus pour, à partir de sa zone de pliure 15, de souder l'opercule du bord de la capsule 6, dégager progressivement son ouverture et finalement ouvrir la capsule 6 et la faire communiquer avec le bol 1. La sauce, alors, tombe dans le bol 1, sur la salade. On secoue l'ensemble, sans risque de fuite, pour mélanger la sauce et la salace, autrement dit, pour la remuer. Il ne reste plus qu'à ôter le couvercle 2, pour servir la salade assaisonnée se trouvant dans le bol 1.Conversely, before consumption, and having removed the tamper-evident ring 5 and released the end 17 of the tongue 14, the consumer pulls it to, from from its fold zone 15, to weld the cover from the edge of the capsule 6, release gradually its opening and finally open the capsule 6 and make it communicate with bowl 1. The sauce then falls into bowl 1 on the salad. We shake the whole thing, without risk of leakage, to mix the sauce and the saliva, in other words, to stir it. he all you have to do is remove the cover 2, to serve the seasoned salad in bowl 1.

On notera qu'on a ménagé, sur le fond du couvercle 2, légèrement au-delà du fond 9 de la capsule 6, un épaulement annulaire 18 de réception d'un disque 19, par exemple en carton, servant de support de données d'identification de denrées contenues dans les récipients.Note that on the bottom of the cover 2, slightly beyond from the bottom 9 of the capsule 6, an annular shoulder 18 for receiving a disc 19, by cardboard example, serving as a data carrier for identifying the foodstuffs contained in the containers.

L'ensemble représenté sur les figures 5-8 se distingue du précédent par le logement de réception de capsule intégré au bol, plus précisément au couvercle du bol. Les parties du clip annulaire de bordure du bol et de son couvercle sont inversées, mais sans aucune incidence sur les caractéristiques essentielles à protéger par la présente demande.The assembly shown in Figures 5-8 differs from the previous one by the capsule receiving housing integrated in the bowl, more precisely in the bowl lid. The parts of the annular clip of border of the bowl and its cover are reversed, but without affecting the essential characteristics to be protected by this request.

Par transformation plastique, comme précédemment, on a créé, dans le couvercle 2', un puits 21' (ici tronconique, évasé vers l'extérieur et pourvu d'un fond circulaire 22'.By plastic transformation, as before, we created, in the cover 2 ', a well 21' (here frustoconical, flared towards the outside and provided with a bottom circular 22 '.

Le fond 22' est ajouré sur trois secteurs angulaires 33' séparés par trois nervures radiales de perforation 23', en forme de dent.The bottom 22 'is perforated on three angular sectors 33' separated by three radial perforation ribs 23 ', tooth-shaped.

Le puits 21' sert de logement de réception d'une capsule de réserve (de sauce) 26', semblable à la capsule 6 avec un opercule de fermeture 24', mais sans languette, soudé sur le bord annulaire 25' de la capsule.The well 21 'serves as a housing for receiving a reserve capsule (of sauce) 26 ', similar to capsule 6 with a 24' closure, but without tab, welded to the annular edge 25 'of the capsule.

La paroi 27' du puits de réception comporte des nervures de verrouillage 28', ici quatre, dans des plans axiaux à 90° les uns des autres et intercalés entre ceux des dents de perforation 23'. Chaque nervure 28' comporte deux rampes 29', 30' inclinées en sens inverses et séparées par une portion de gorge 31', les quatre portions de gorge des quatre nervures formant une gorge annulaire de réception et de verrouillage du bord 25' de la capsule. Les rampes 29' des quatre nervures se resserrent sur l'axe 34', depuis le bord d'ouverture 32' jusqu'à la gorge 31', et les rampes 30' s'écartent de l'axe 34' depuis la gorge 31' jusqu'au fond 22'.The wall 27 'of the receiving well has locking ribs 28 ', here four, in axial planes at 90 ° from each other and interspersed between those of perforation teeth 23 '. Each rib 28 'has two ramps 29', 30 'inclined in opposite directions and separated by a groove portion 31 ', the four groove portions four ribs forming an annular groove for receiving and locking the edge 25 'from the capsule. The ramps 29 'of the four ribs tighten on the axis 34', from the opening edge 32 'to the groove 31', and the ramps 30 'deviate from the axis 34' from the throat 31 'to the bottom 22'.

Les dents 23' s'élèvent, dans le puits 21', jusque dans un plan axial disposé légèrement en-dessous du plan axial de la gorge 31'.The teeth 23 'rise, in the well 21', into an axial plane arranged slightly below the axial plane of the groove 31 '.

Le diamètre externe du bord annulaire 25' de la capsule 26' est sensiblement égal à celui du fond 22' du logement 21', plus petit que celui de l'ouverture 32' mais plus grand que ceux des ouvertures de passage définies par les rampes 29', 30', juste de part et d'autre des gorges 31'.The outer diameter of the annular edge 25 'of the capsule 26' is substantially equal to that of the bottom 22 'of the housing 21', smaller than that of the opening 32 'but larger than those of the passage openings defined by the ramps 29 ', 30', just on either side of the grooves 31 '.

Le bol 1' et la capsule 26' ayant été remplis comme précédemment, pour la présentation de l'ensemble, après avoir retourné la capsule 26', son bord 25' et son opercule de fermeture 24' tournés vers le bord 22', on introduit la capsule 26' dans le logement 21' jusqu'à ce que son bord 25' vienne naturellement buter contre les rampes 29' des nervures 28', en-deçà des gorges 31' ; on pousse ensuite la capsule 26', pour lui faire franchir légèrement à force les rampes 29', en déformant très légèrement le bord 25', et que ce bord 25' soit ainsi reçu et maintenu en position de verrouillage dans les quatre gorges 31 écarté du plan tangent aux dents de perforation 23'.The bowl 1 'and the capsule 26' having been filled as before, for the presentation of the assembly, after having turned the capsule 26 ′, its edge 25 ′ and its closure cap 24 'facing edge 22', insert capsule 26 'into the housing 21 'until its edge 25' naturally comes up against the ramps 29 'of the ribs 28', below the grooves 31 '; then push the capsule 26 ', for him force the ramps 29 'to pass slightly, deforming the edge very slightly 25 ', and that this edge 25' is thus received and kept in the locked position in the four grooves 31 spaced from the plane tangent to the perforation teeth 23 '.

Avant consommation, et ayant aussi enlevé l'anneau d'inviolabilité, pour ouvrir en partie la capsule 26', c'est-à-dire en perçant des ouvertures dans l'opercule 24', par perforation par les dents 23', le consommateur doit pousser sur la capsule, dans la même direction que quand on l'avait placée dans la position de verrouillage pour déverrouiller la capsule, c'est-à-dire pour faire franchir au bord 25' les rampes 30', toujours légèrement à force et jusqu'à ce que ce bord 25' soit en appui contre le fond 22', coincé par les rampes 30', les dents 23' ayant commencé à perforer l'opercule 24' dès le franchissement de la gorge 31'.Before consumption, and having also removed the tamper-evident ring, to partially open the capsule 26 ′, that is to say by piercing openings in the cover 24 ', by perforation through the teeth 23', the consumer must push on the capsule, in the same direction as when it was placed in the locked position for unlock the capsule, that is to make the ramps 30 'pass at the edge 25', always slightly by force and until this edge 25 'is pressing against the bottom 22 ', trapped by the ramps 30', the teeth 23 'having started to perforate the cover 24' from the crossing of the gorge 31 '.

La capsule 26' étant alors en partie ouverte et en communication avec l'intérieur du bol 1', on peut, comme précédemment, procéder au mélange des deux denrées.The capsule 26 'then being partly open and in communication with inside the bowl 1 ', we can, as before, mix the two commodities.

L'ensemble représenté sur les figures 9-12, est très similaire à celui des figures 5-8. The assembly shown in Figures 9-12, is very similar to that of figures 5-8.

Dans le couvercle 2", on a créé un puits 21", comme le puits 21', avec un fond 22" identique au fond 22', avec les secteurs ajourés 33'' et les nervures radiales de perforation 23", en forme de dent.In the cover 2 ", a well 21" has been created, like the well 21 ', with a bottom 22 "identical to bottom 22 ', with openwork sectors 33' 'and the radial ribs of 23 "perforation, tooth-shaped.

Le puits 21" sert de logement de réception à une capsule de réserve (de sauce) 26", avec un opercule de fermeture 24" soudé sur le bord annulaire 25" de la capsule.The 21 "well serves as receiving housing for a reserve capsule (of sauce) 26 ", with a closing lid 24" welded on the annular edge 25 "of the capsule.

La capsule 26" comporte un fond 35" conformé pour épouser le fond 22" de son logement de réception 21" ; aussi, le fond de capsule 35" comporte trois rainures 36" de réception des dents 23". Quand on a enfoncé, légèrement à force, la capsule 26" dans les trois dents 23", la capsule est pour ainsi dire verrouillée en position de stockage et de présentation. Par sécurité, il a été prévu, sur la paroi 27" du puits de réception 21", des ergots 37", qui assurent pleinement le verrouillage de la capsule avant mélange, et que le bord 25" de la capsule peut franchir dans un sens comme dans l'autre, grâce à leurs doubles rampes, ce qui permet de changer de capsule aisément.The 26 "capsule has a bottom 35" shaped to match the bottom 22 " from its receiving housing 21 "; also, the capsule bottom 35" has three grooves 36 "for receiving teeth 23". When you have pushed in, slightly by force, the capsule 26 "in the three teeth 23", the capsule is practically locked in storage and display position. For safety, it has been provided on the 27 "wall of the receiving well 21 ", lugs 37", which fully ensure the locking of the capsule before mixing, and that the 25 "edge of the capsule can cross in one direction as in the other, thanks to their double ramps, which allows to change capsules easily.

Le bol 1" et la capsule 26" ayant été remplis, toujours comme précédemment, pour la présentation de l'ensemble, sans retourner la capsule, on l'introduit dans le logement 21" jusqu'à ce que son fond 35" s'engage sur les dents 23" puis se coince sur elles, en position de verrouillage.The 1 "bowl and the 26" capsule having been filled, always as previously, for the presentation of the whole, without turning over the capsule, we introduces it into the housing 21 "until its bottom 35" engages the teeth 23 " then gets stuck on them, in the locked position.

Avant consommation, on décoince la capsule 26" des dents 23", et on l'écarte de sa position de verrouillage, on la retire du logement 21", on la retourne (figure 12), pour présenter son bord 25" et son opercule de fermeture 24" vers le fond 22", on le réintroduit dans le logement 21", on pousse sur la capsule, d'abord pour que son bord 25" franchisse les ergots 37" puis on continue de la pousser jusqu'à ce que son bord 25" arrive en position de perforation, en appui contre le fond 22", les dents 23" ayant commencé à perforer l'opercule 24" dès le franchissement des ergots 37" par le bord de capsule 25".Before consumption, the capsule 26 "is peeled from the teeth 23", and move it away from its locked position, remove it from the 21 "housing, turn it over (figure 12), to present its 25 "edge and its 24" closing cap towards the bottom 22 ", we put it back into the housing 21", we push on the capsule, first so that its edge 25 "crosses the pins 37" then we continue to push it until its edge 25 "arrives in the perforation position, pressing against the bottom 22", the teeth 23 "having started to perforate the cover 24" as soon as the pins 37 "are crossed by the edge of the 25 "capsule.

La capsule 26" étant alors en partie ouverte et en communication avec l'intérieur du bol 1", on peut procéder au mélange des deux denrées.The 26 "capsule then being partly open and in communication with inside the 1 "bowl, the two foodstuffs can be mixed.
