Abstract

The present invention relates to a thermoformed container (1 ) for flowable food products comprising a squeezable container body (2) with a flat upper edge (3) surrounding a container body opening (4), characterized in that: (i) said container body (2) is squeezable at least in both axial and transversal directions such that its volume can be reduced by at least 85%, preferably by at least 95% upon application of manual pressure or drawing up of the contained products, and (ii) said edge (3) is rigid, and comprises a dispensing spout (5) continuous with the opening (4) of the container body (2), said opening (4) being closed by at least one primary membrane (6) that is sealed onto said edge (3).

Description

The squeezable container that is used for dairy products
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of squeezable container that stores and distribute dairy products, semi-liquid-like or the pasty materials of refrigeration that is mainly used in.
Background technology
At field of food, be used to store and distribute the container that refrigerates dairy products known for everyone.These containers are usually by being constituted by the jar of the Heat forming of strippable membrane closure.These jars are widely used in for example sour milk.
Yet, all known containers all need serviceable tool for example spoon, suction pipe, glass or similar tool distribute and consumer products, no matter the dosage of the product consumed is how.
Therefore, need a kind of container that be used for runny food as the refrigeration dairy products, this container production cost is not high, and allows conveniently and hygienically directly to eat from packing and needn't serviceable tool.
Summary of the invention
The present invention solves the problems referred to above by a kind of thermoformed containers that is used for runny food, and this container comprises squeezable container body and the container body opening with flat upper limb, it is characterized in that:
(i) described container body axially and laterally all can push, makes that its volume can be reduced by at least 85% when applying pressure by hand at least, preferably can be reduced by at least 95%; And
(ii) described edge is a rigidity, and comprises the distribution nozzle continuous with container body, and described opening is by at least one the main membrane closure that is sealed on the described edge.
Can recognize from explanation above structure of the present invention, this container provides easily, the wieldy packaging structure of user so as especially young consumers while having much to do edible (on-the-go) product.So-called " axially and laterally all can push " mean that container body not only can push in one direction, but can push on the both direction at least, this just allows the maximum compression of container volume so that the customer fully, dispense container content effectively.In preferred a selection, container volume even can be, and just along both direction along a plurality of directions extruding---axially and laterally.
Axially be meant direction when vessel port vertical axis up the time.Laterally be meant any direction that is included in the plane perpendicular to axial direction.
After opening the main film of closed container body, customer's squeeze receptacle body is to force the product flow container.Before the extruding, the customer puts the mouth of pipe in the mouth into so that in the product inflow opening that distributes during the squeeze receptacle body.Therefore, do not need instrument for example spoon come allocated product from container.After edible, container is kept perfectly, and can easily handle.
In the first embodiment of the present invention, described at least one main film is salable on the edge, and comprises the dispensing orifice of the orifice region that is positioned at described film, and described dispensing orifice is by strippable second membrane closure that is sealed on the main film.
Preferably, the diameter range of described dispensing orifice is 1 to 15mm, is preferably 2 to 8mm.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, described main film can comprise and is sealed on the flat upper limb in a fixed manner, is used for the first of closed container body opening and is sealed in flat upper limb, is used for the second portion of the enclose distributor mouth of pipe in strippable mode.
Preferably, the peelable part of closing membrane can be folded on the remainder of described film, so that can be with the direct from container consumable products of the mode of health.
In the third embodiment of the present invention, described film can comprise and be sealed on the edge, be used for the first of closed container body opening and be used for the second portion of the enclose distributor mouth of pipe that two parts all seal in strippable mode.
In all situations, main film is preferably the composite insulating foil (complex foil) that comprises at least one sealing layer and aluminium lamination or polyester layer.
Preferably, described flat upper limb is a gimbal.
Described distribution nozzle can advantageously limit a conduit opening, and its width is less than 10mm, highly less than 10mm.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, container body is made by the thermoplastic material that is selected from following group: polystyrene, poly(lactic acid), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene, polypropylene or their composite.
In all situations, the runny product that can be contained in the container of the present invention is preferably freezing, dairy products refrigeration or anti-storage.
Description of drawings
With reference to the detailed description of accompanying drawing to a specific embodiment, other features and advantages of the present invention will be described and become apparent from hereinafter, in the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is the birds-eye perspective of container, and wherein main closing membrane is by strippable second membrane closure;
Fig. 2 is the birds-eye perspective of the container among Fig. 1, and wherein second film is in and opens configuration;
Fig. 3 is the lateral plan of the container in the closed configuration;
Fig. 4 is the face upwarding view of the container in the closed configuration.
The specific embodiment
From figure especially among Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 as seen, the shape of container 1 is roughly the strawberry shape.But should be appreciated that by thermoforming process and also can obtain other shapes.
According to the present invention, container body 2 makes that axially and laterally all can push its volume energy is reduced by at least 95% when applying pressure by hand.
According to the present invention, as Fig. 3 for example shown in, the flat upper limb 3 that is positioned at the top of container body 2 and surrounds container body opening 4 comprise one with the continuous distribution nozzle 5 of container body 2, described opening 4 with dashed lines in the drawings limits.
In the first possibility embodiment according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the opening 4 of container body 2 and distribution nozzle 5 are by main film 6 sealings.Main film 6 is for comprising the composite insulating foil of the sealing layer compatible with the material at edge 3, and (this main film 6) comprises aluminium and plastics.
As shown in Figure 1, described main film 6 is sealed on the edge 3 in a fixed manner, and comprises a dispensing orifice 7 in the orifice region of described main film.As shown in Figure 1, strippable second film 8 is connected on the described main film 6 releasedly.As shown in Figure 2, described second film 8 can easily be peeled off from main film, so that open dispensing orifice 7 and allow the product that distribution is held.
From Fig. 2,3 and 4 as seen, the mouth of pipe 5 roughly limits a conduit opening, and its width is less than 10mm, and height is less than 10mm.The length of the mouth of pipe and conduit is defined as, and makes film that enough unsealed surface be arranged, so that should be used as the preceding band of tearing from mouth of pipe stripping film of consumer products in the surface.
As shown in Figure 4, will remove fully under the situation of main film from the container body edge, this main film can strippable mode seal, and its shape be made for described main film opening part 9 from the edge 3 orifice region stretch out.
Should be appreciated that to one skilled in the art the preferred embodiment of describing in detail is above carried out various changes and revises will be conspicuous.Can not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention and not reduce under its situation of following advantage and carry out this change and modification.Therefore, this change and modification were considered under the containing of claims.
