COUPLABLE PACKAGING

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a dockable container that contributes, to the function to which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail below, which imply an improvement of the current state. of technique

More specifically, the object of the invention focuses on a package, particularly a container applicable to contain liquids, preferably products of those used in hygiene, perfumery, cosmetics and the like, which has the peculiarity of having a structural configuration that, including the neck where it incorporates the cap, includes complementary means of tongue and groove coupling intended to allow the coupling thereof with other equal containers, both vertically and horizontally, to form a compact and stable block.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of packaging, focusing particularly on the field of those intended to contain liquids, and more specifically those intended to contain hygiene products, perfumery, cosmetics and analogues

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is known, there are many types and models of liquid container containers on the market as well as all kinds of products, some of which are designed to be vertically stacked, however, this does not allow the formation of stable blocks, which is the objective that the package of the present invention aims to achieve, for example in order to group the different types of hygiene, cosmetic, perfume and similar products that are usually used, such as shower gel, shampoo, cologne, etc. ., and that are usually placed together in the bathroom, causing occupy less space and the set is more aesthetic, offering a feeling of greater cleanliness and order.

On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other type of packaging of the type indicated that has the same or similar technical, structural and constitutive characteristics is unknown. to those presented by the one claimed here.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The attachable package proposed by the invention allows the aforementioned objectives to be satisfactorily achieved, the characterizing details making it possible and distinguishing it conveniently set forth in the final claims that accompany the present description.

More specifically, what the invention proposes, as noted above, is an applicable container for containing liquids, preferably products of those used in hygiene, perfumery, cosmetics and the like, which has the peculiarity of having a structural configuration that, including the neck where it incorporates the cap, it comprises complementary means of tongue and groove coupling intended to allow the coupling thereof with other equal containers, both vertically and horizontally, to form a compact and stable block.

To do this, and more specifically, the package is configured from a rectangular prismatic body with flat faces, preferably a cube, where, at least, one of its lateral faces has a complementary projection to a recess of the opposite side face, it is say suitable to fit inside it, so that, when placing two equal containers adjacently, the projection of the side face of one of them fits into the recess of the opposite side face of the other, both sides being juxtaposed, being able to fit horizontally successive equal containers; and where, in addition, the cap incorporated in the neck of the container constitutes, in turn, a projection that presents said body in its upper face complementary to an inlet provided in its lower face, so that successive equal containers can be vertically coupled.

In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the projection of the upper face of the container body, constituted by the cap thereof incorporated into the neck, it is identical to the protrusion of its lateral face and, likewise, the recesses of the lower face and of the opposite lateral face are also identical, so that the coupling of the container with identical ones can be perform both with these placed in an upright position as in a lying position.

Additionally, the container has a carrying handle, for example in the case of larger capacity containers or "family" type, and / or to facilitate handling, which is housed in a recess made in the upper face where incorporates, held by an axis that allows its folding, so that, when it is not necessary its use is flush with the flat surface of said upper face, which does not represent any obstacle for the coupling of the containers, and, when It has to be used, it is extracted from it, for which the existence of a nail has been provided to facilitate the lifting of the handle out of said recess.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is attached, as an integral part thereof, of a set of drawings in which with an illustrative and non-limiting the following has been represented:

Figures 1 and 2 show two schematic views in perspective, front and back respectively, of an embodiment of the attachable package object of the invention and in which it has been shown with the cap unplaced and once placed in the neck of the same, appreciating its configuration and main parts as well as their arrangement.

Figure number 3.- Shows a perspective view of several packages, according to the example of Figures 1 and 2, in the process of producing mutual coupling between them through the tongue and groove coupling means comprising.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of non-limiting embodiment of the attachable container of the invention, which comprises what is indicated and described in detail below.

Thus, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the container (1) in question is configured from a body (2) of rectangular prismatic configuration and flat faces, preferably a cube, where at least one face lateral (2a) has a lateral projection (3) that is complementary to a lateral recess (4) provided on its opposite lateral face (2a '), such that, by placing two containers (1) adjacently, the lateral projection ( 3) of one fits inside the lateral recess (4) of the other, the lateral faces (2a, 2a ') of both packages (1) being juxtaposed; and where, in addition, the cap (5) of the container (1), once incorporated into the neck (6) of the upper face (2b) of its prismatic body (2), in turn constitutes an upper projection (5) which is complementary to a lower recess (7) provided on the lower face (2b ') of said prismatic body (2), such that, when stacking two containers (1), the upper cap or projection (5) of the container (1) located inferiorly fits inside the lower recess (7) of the container (1) located superiorly, whereby, as shown in figure 3, successive containers (1) can be coupled laterally and stacked together forming a compact assembly or block .

In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the upper shoulder (5) of the upper face (2b) of the body (2) of the container, constituted by the cap thereof when it is incorporated into the neck (6), is identical to the shoulder side (3) of its side face (2a) and, likewise, the lower recess (7) is identical to the side recess (4), so that the coupling of the container (1) with another identical one can be carried out both with this one placed in vertical position as in lying position.

Additionally, the container (1) has a carrying handle (8), which is housed in a recess (9) made in the upper face (2b) of the body (2), where it is flush with the flat surface of said upper face (2b) when not in use, being held by an axis (10) that allows its folding to raise it to its position of use, the existence of a nail (11) having been provided to facilitate its extraction.

Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any person skilled in the art understands its scope and the advantages derived therefrom, stating that, within its essentiality, it may be carried out in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which It will also achieve the protection that is sought as long as it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
