Description

La présente invention concerne un conteneur pour le stockage de produits comprenant un bac dans lequel sont stockés les produits et un capot pour fermer ledit bac de manière étanche au moyen d'un joint d'étanchéité.The present invention relates to a container for the storage of products comprising a tray in which the products are stored and a cover for closing said container tightly by means of a seal.

De tels conteneurs étanches sont utilisés notamment pour stocker des produits, tels que des fruits et légumes, ou des fleurs, dans une atmosphère modifiée, afin d'augmenter la durée de conservation de ces produits. L'étanchéité du conteneur est primordiale afin de maintenir dans le conteneur les taux d'oxygène et de gaz carbonique requis pour garantir la meilleure durée de conservation possible. Pour assurer cette étanchéité, les conteneurs comprennent généralement un joint d'étanchéité agencé sur tout le pourtour entre le bac et le capot. Ce joint d'étanchéité périphérique peut être collé sur la face intérieure du capot. Toutefois cette solution ne permet pas de changer le joint d'étanchéité quand cela est nécessaire. Le joint d'étanchéité peut aussi être simplement posé entre le bac et le capot et peut alors facilement être changé lorsqu'il est usé. Cependant, cette réalisation n'est pas satisfaisante car elle ne garantit pas le bon positionnement du joint, qui peut alors perdre son efficacité. On connaît encore une autre solution, présentée dans le brevet américain US 6.364.152 , qui consiste à aménager une gorge périphérique dans la face inférieure du capot afin d'y loger et d'y maintenir une extrémité du joint d'étanchéité dont l'autre extrémité vient s'écraser contre le bac et assure l'étanchéité du conteneur lorsque le capot ferme le bac.Such tight containers are used in particular for storing products, such as fruits and vegetables, or flowers, in a modified atmosphere, in order to increase the shelf life of these products. The tightness of the container is essential to maintain in the container the oxygen and carbon dioxide required to ensure the best possible shelf life. To ensure this seal, the containers generally comprise a seal arranged around the entire periphery between the tray and the hood. This peripheral seal can be glued to the inside of the hood. However this solution does not allow to change the seal when necessary. The seal can also be simply placed between the bin and the hood and can easily be changed when worn. However, this achievement is not satisfactory because it does not guarantee the proper positioning of the seal, which can then lose its effectiveness. Another solution is known, presented in the US patent US 6,364,152 , which consists in arranging a peripheral groove in the underside of the hood to accommodate and maintain one end of the seal whose other end is crashing against the tray and seals the container when the hood closes the bin.

Le but de la présente invention est donc de pallier ces différents inconvénients, en proposant une solution alternative de conteneur comprenant un joint d'étanchéité qui peut être changé facilement tout en garantissant une efficacité maximale dans le contrôle de l'étanchéité et de l'usure dudit joint.The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome these various disadvantages, by proposing an alternative solution of container comprising a seal which can be changed easily while ensuring maximum efficiency in the control of the seal and wear of said seal.

A cet effet, et conformément à la présente invention, il est proposé un conteneur pour le stockage de produits comprenant deux éléments, à savoir un bac dans lequel sont stockés les produits et un capot pour fermer ledit bac de manière étanche au moyen d'un joint d'étanchéité, comprenant un rebord périphérique plan se décomposant en un rebord périphérique plan intérieur et en un rebord périphérique plan extérieur, le capot comprenant un rebord périphérique vertical agencé pour venir recouvrir le rebord périphérique extérieur du bac lors de la fermeture du capot et comprenant sur sa face intérieure une gorge périphérique disposée de manière à venir en regard dudit rebord périphérique plan du bac lorsque le capot ferme le bac, ledit joint comprenant une zone d'écrasement agencée pour s'écraser sur le rebord périphérique intérieur du bac pour assurer l'étanchéité lorsque le capot ferme le bac et un pied s'étendant le long de l'axe longitudinal de la zone d'écrasement selon un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe transversal de ladite zone d'écrasement, ledit pied étant destiné à se positionner dans ladite gorge périphérique du capot, caractérisé en ce que les rebords périphériques intérieur et extérieur sont dans des plans différents et constituent une forme épaulée et en ce que le capot comprend entre son rebord périphérique vertical et sa face intérieure un décrochement présentant une forme complémentaire à ladite forme épaulée du bac, la distance entre le plan du décrochement et le plan de la face intérieure du capot étant inférieure à la distance séparant les plans des rebords périphériques intérieur et extérieur du bac.For this purpose, and in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a container for storing products comprising two elements, namely a tray in which the products are stored and a cover for closing said container tightly by means of a seal, comprising a planar peripheral rim decomposing into an inner plane peripheral rim and an outer plane peripheral rim, the bonnet including a vertical peripheral rim arranged to overlie the outer peripheral rim of the vat upon closure of the bonnet and comprising on its inner face a peripheral groove arranged to come opposite said flat peripheral edge of the container when the hood closes the container, said seal comprising a crushing zone arranged to collapse on the inner peripheral rim of the container to ensure sealing when the hood closes the tank and a foot extending along the longitudinal axis the crushing zone in a plane perpendicular to the transverse axis of said crushing zone, said foot being intended to be positioned in said peripheral groove of the hood, characterized in that the inner and outer peripheral rims are in planes different and constitute a shouldered shape and in that the cap comprises between its vertical peripheral edge and its inner face a recess having a shape complementary to said shoulder shape of the tray, the distance between the plane of the recess and the plane of the inner face of the hood being less than the distance between the planes of the inner and outer peripheral edges of the tray.

Le joint d'étanchéité présentant d'une part une partie insérée dans la gorge périphérique sur la face intérieure du capot et d'autre part une zone d'écrasement est ainsi facilement extractible du capot pour être changé, tout en garantissant une étanchéité maximale.The seal having on the one hand a portion inserted into the peripheral groove on the face Inside the hood and secondly a crush zone is easily removable from the hood to be changed, while ensuring maximum sealing.

En outre, on comprend bien que l'usure ou la déformation excessive du joint est évitée lorsqu'on procède à l'empilement de conteneurs selon l'invention les uns sur les autres : en effet, la hauteur entre le rebord périphérique plan intérieur du bac et la face intérieure du capot est fixe ; lorsque le capot ferme le bac, le décrochement entre le rebord périphérique vertical et la face intérieure du capot vient en butée sur le rebord périphérique extérieur du bac, le plan de la face intérieure du capot étant alors compris entre les plans des rebords périphériques extérieur et intérieur du bac.In addition, it is well understood that excessive wear or deformation of the seal is avoided when stacking containers according to the invention on top of each other: indeed, the height between the inner plane peripheral rim of the bin and the inside of the hood is fixed; when the hood closes the tray, the recess between the vertical peripheral rim and the inner face of the cover abuts on the outer peripheral edge of the tray, the plane of the inner face of the hood then being between the plane of the outer peripheral edges and inside the tank.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront mieux de la description qui va suivre d'une variante de réalisation d'un conteneur conforme à l'invention, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

In a preferred manner, the planar peripheral rim 4 of the tray 2 decomposes into an inner plane peripheral rim 5 and an outer plane peripheral rim 6, said rims 5 and 6 lying in different plans. According to a particularly preferred variant, and with reference more specifically to the figure 3 , the inner peripheral edge 5 and outer edge 6 are in different planes and form a shouldered shape on the periphery of the tray 2.

De préférence, le capot 3 comprend un rebord périphérique vertical 7 agencé et dimensionné pour venir recouvrir le rebord périphérique extérieur 6 du bac 2 et une face intérieure 8 plane de dimensions correspondant sensiblement à l'ouverture du bac 2. Tel que représenté sur la figure 4, le capot 3 comprend entre son rebord périphérique vertical 7 et sa face intérieure 8 un décrochement 9 sensiblement horizontal présentant une forme complémentaire à la forme épaulée du pourtour du bac 2.Preferably, the cover 3 comprises a vertical peripheral rim 7 arranged and dimensioned to cover the outer peripheral rim 6 of the tray 2 and an inner flat face 8 of dimensions substantially corresponding to the opening of the tray 2. As shown in FIG. figure 4 , the cover 3 comprises between its vertical peripheral rim 7 and its inner face 8 a substantially horizontal recess 9 having a shape complementary to the shouldered shape of the periphery of the tray 2.

En outre, la distance entre le plan du décrochement 9 et le plan de la face intérieure 8 du capot 3 est inférieure à la distance séparant les plans des rebords périphériques intérieur 5 et extérieur 6 du bac 2. Ainsi, tel que représenté sur la figure 6, lorsque le capot 3 ferme le bac 2, le décrochement 9 est en butée sur le rebord périphérique extérieur 6 et le joint 20 est comprimé selon un facteur prédéfini dans l'espace séparant le plan de la face intérieur 8 du capot 3 de celui du rebord périphérique intérieur 5 du bac 2. On comprend bien l'avantage procuré par cette conformation qui permet une compression contrôlée du joint d'étanchéité 20 et évite son usure prématurée du fait d'une compression supplémentaire lorsque les conteneurs selon l'invention sont empilés les uns sur les autres.In addition, the distance between the plane of the recess 9 and the plane of the inner face 8 of the cover 3 is less than the distance between the planes of the inner peripheral edges 5 and outer 6 of the tray 2. Thus, as shown in FIG. figure 6 when the cover 3 closes the tray 2, the recess 9 is in abutment on the outer peripheral rim 6 and the seal 20 is compressed according to a predefined factor in the space separating the plane of the inner face 8 of the cover 3 from that of the flange inner device 5 of the tray 2. It is clear the advantage provided by this conformation which allows a controlled compression of the seal 20 and avoids premature wear due to additional compression when the containers according to the invention are stacked the on each other.

Selon la présente invention, le capot 3 comprend sur sa face intérieure 8 une gorge périphérique 10 disposée de manière à venir en regard du rebord périphérique plan intérieur 5 lorsque le capot 3 ferme le bac 2, tel que cela est représenté sur la figure 6, qui montre une variante de réalisation particulièrement préférée de l'invention.According to the present invention, the cover 3 comprises on its inner face 8 a peripheral groove 10 arranged to come opposite the inner plane peripheral rim 5 when the cover 3 closes the tray 2, as shown in FIG. figure 6 which shows a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention.

Il est bien évident que la configuration décrite ici peut être inversée et que la gorge 10 peut être prévue sur le bac 2 et les rebords périphériques 4,5,6, sur le capot 3.It is obvious that the configuration described here can be reversed and that the groove 10 can be provided on the tray 2 and peripheral rims 4,5,6, on the cover 3.

En référence aux figures 5 et 6, le joint d'étanchéité 20 comprend une zone d'écrasement 22 agencée pour s'écraser sur le rebord périphérique plan intérieur 5 du bac 2 qui est en regard de la gorge périphérique 10 du capot 3 lorsque le capot 3 ferme le bac 2 et un pied 21 s'étendant le long de l'axe longitudinal de la zone d'écrasement 22 selon un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe transversal de ladite zone d'écrasement 22, ledit pied 21 étant destiné à se positionner à force dans la gorge périphérique 10 du capot 3. Ainsi, la zone d'écrasement 22 du joint d'étanchéité 20, s'écrase sur le rebord périphérique plan intérieur 5 du bac 2 lorsque le capot 3 ferme le bac 2, ce qui permet de garantir l'étanchéité du conteneur 1. Par ailleurs, le pied 21 inséré et pris dans la gorge 10 sur la face intérieure 8 du capot permet de fixer le joint d'étanchéité 20 audit capot, en supprimant toute fixation par collage. De préférence, le pied 21 comprend des moyens d'accrochage 23 au capot 3 agencés pour rendre le joint d'étanchéité 20 amovible. D'une manière avantageuse, les moyens d'accrochage 23 comprennent des crans 24 présentant en coupe la forme de sapin, ou toute autre proéminence permettant un bon accrochage du pied 21 du joint d'étanchéité 20 sur le capot 3.With reference to Figures 5 and 6 , the seal 20 comprises a crushing zone 22 arranged to crash on the inner plane peripheral rim 5 of the tank 2 which is opposite the peripheral groove 10 of the hood 3 when the hood 3 closes the tank 2 and a foot 21 extending along the longitudinal axis of the crushing zone 22 in a plane perpendicular to the transverse axis of said crushing zone 22, said foot 21 being intended to position itself by force in the throat Thus, the crushing zone 22 of the seal 20 crushes on the inner plane peripheral rim 5 of the container 2 when the lid 3 closes the tray 2, which makes it possible to guarantee sealing the container 1. Furthermore, the foot 21 inserted and taken into the groove 10 on the inner face 8 of the cover allows to fix the seal 20 to said cover, removing any attachment by gluing. Preferably, the foot 21 comprises fastening means 23 to the hood 3 arranged to make the seal 20 removable. Advantageously, the hooking means 23 comprise notches 24 having a cross-section in the shape of a fir tree, or any other prominence allowing a good attachment of the foot 21 of the seal 20 on the cover 3.

D'une manière avantageuse, le joint d'étanchéité 20 est un joint creux constitué en matériau souple présentant une bonne rémanence.Advantageously, the seal 20 is a hollow seal made of flexible material having good remanence.

Par ailleurs, le conteneur 1 comprend des moyens de clipsage 11 du capot 3 sur le bac 2. De préférence, en référence aux figures 4 et 6, lesdits moyens de clipsage 11 sont constitués par au moins une protubérance en creux 12 prévue sur le rebord périphérique vertical 7 du capot 3, ladite protubérance 11 étant agencée pour s'accrocher au rebord périphérique plan extérieur 6 du bac 2 lorsque le capot 3 ferme le bac 2. De préférence, le capot' 3 est réalisé dans un matériau suffisamment élastique pour permettre un bon encliquetage de la protubérance en creux 12 sur le rebord périphérique extérieur 6 du bac 2. Ainsi, en référence à la figure 6, lorsque le capot 3 ferme le bac 2, le décrochement 9 du capot 3 vient en regard de la forme épaulée complémentaire formée par les rebords périphériques intérieur 5 et extérieur 6 du bac 2, la protubérance 12 s'accroche sur le rebord extérieur 6 du bac 2 pour fermer le conteneur 1, le joint d'étanchéité 20 fixé au capot 3 dans la gorge 10 vient en regard du rebord périphérique intérieur 5 du bac 2 et la zone d'écrasement 22 du joint d'étanchéité 20 s'écrase sur ledit rebord périphérique intérieur 5 pour créer l'étanchéité.Furthermore, the container 1 comprises clipping means 11 of the cover 3 on the tray 2. Preferably, with reference to the Figures 4 and 6 said clipping means 11 are constituted by at least one recessed protuberance 12 provided on the vertical peripheral rim 7 of the cover 3, said protuberance 11 being arranged to attach to the outer plane peripheral rim 6 of the trough 2 when the hood 3 closes the tray 2. Preferably, the cover '3 is made of a sufficiently elastic material to allow a good snap of the hollow protuberance 12 on the outer peripheral rim 6 of the tray 2. Thus, with reference to the figure 6 when the cover 3 closes the tray 2, the recess 9 of the cover 3 comes opposite the complementary shouldered shape formed by the inner peripheral periphery 5 and outer periphery 6 of the tray 2, the protrusion 12 clings to the outer edge 6 of the tray 2 to close the container 1, the seal 20 attached to the cover 3 in the groove 10 is opposite the inner peripheral rim 5 of the tray 2 and the crush zone 22 of the seal 20 crushes on said inner peripheral flange 5 to create the seal.

Il est bien évident qu'au lieu de clipser le capot 3 sur le bac 2, le capot peut présenter une forme permettant de l'accrocher sur le rebord périphérique du bac. En outre, il va bien entendu de soi que l'Homme de l'Art pourra sans difficultés mettre en oeuvre l'invention en inversant le sens de l'épaulement entre les rebords périphériques intérieur 5 et extérieur 6 du bac, la distance entre le plan du décrochement 9 et le plan de la face intérieure 8 du capot étant alors supérieure à la distance séparant les plans des rebords périphérique intérieur 5 et extérieur 6 du bac 2, de façon à ménager un espace entre le rebord périphérique intérieur 5 et la face intérieure 8 du capot 3 lorsque le capot ferme le bac 2 et d'avoir une compression constante et prédéfinie du joint d'étanchéité 20 entre ces deux éléments.It is obvious that instead of clipping the cover 3 on the tray 2, the cover can have a shape to hang on the peripheral edge of the tray. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the person skilled in the art can without difficulty implement the invention by inverting the direction of the shoulder between the inner peripheral edges 5 and outer 6 of the tray, the distance between the plane of the recess 9 and the plane of the inner face 8 of the hood then being greater than the distance between the planes of the inner peripheral edges 5 and outside 6 of the tray 2, so as to provide a space between the inner peripheral flange 5 and the inner face 8 of the cover 3 when the cover closes the tray 2 and to have a constant and predefined compression of the seal 20 between these two elements.

Lorsque le conteneur 1 est utilisé pour le stockage des produits sous atmosphère modifiée, le capot 3 comprend au moins un orifice 13 obturé par une membrane semi-perméable 14 agencée pour permettre le contrôle du passage des gaz de l'air ambiant de façon sélective.When the container 1 is used for the storage of products under modified atmosphere, the cover 3 comprises at least one orifice 13 closed by a semi-permeable membrane 14 arranged to allow the control of the passage of gases from the ambient air selectively.

La présente invention s'applique plus particulièrement au stockage de produits frais nécessitant la garantie de l'étanchéité du conteneur, mais il est bien évident que l'exemple que l'on vient de donner n'est qu'une illustration particulière en aucun cas limitative quant aux domaines d'application de l'invention.The present invention applies more particularly to the storage of fresh products requiring the guarantee of the tightness of the container, but it is obvious that the example that has just been given is only a particular illustration in any case limiting as to the fields of application of the invention.
