Description

  The invention relates to a container as defined in the preamble of the claims.

  Such containers are particularly known for use in fast food restaurants. These containers are used to receive, for example, sandwich and burger food. Sandwiches and burgers are placed in the bottom of the container, the lid of the container is closed, and the closed container is handed to the customer.

  It is not uncommon for a customer to eat fast food at a fast food restaurant without first eating the simple food to another place or eating along the way. Therefore, the container should not only be suitable for quick and easy filling, but also carry food safely (especially without spillage) and be very easy to handle when food is eaten later .

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a container that meets all these requirements by means that are as simple as possible to construct.

  This object is achieved by a container comprising the features of claim 1.

  The present invention is characterized in that at least one of the bottom side wall surfaces is pivotable around a bottom edge connecting the side wall surface and the bottom surface. In particular, this side wall surface can thus be pivotable between an upward folding position where the bottom is closed in a box for food transport and a position where it is folded outward or downward. In particular, food can be easily taken in and out at this downward folding position where the side wall surface is aligned with the bottom. This is because, at this position, the side wall is bent downward, so that the bottom can be accessed not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction.

  More preferably, the middle, second or third of the side wall surfaces are pivotable about the bottom edge connecting the respective side wall surfaces to the bottom surface. This provides on the one hand the additional possibility of accessing the inside of the bottom, but on the other hand, each outer folded side wall surface at the outer folding position is aligned with the bottom surface or the tilt angle shown with respect to the bottom is small. Conceivable. In this case, the bottom surface and the outer bent side wall surface form a so-called tray for food, and the surface of the tray is obtained by adding the outer bent side wall surface to the bottom surface.

  The “tray” has a maximum surface when the entire bottom surface can be bent at a flat position where the entire bottom wall surface, in particular, the entire side wall surface can be pivoted or bent with respect to the bottom surface. The larger the tray that is formed, the more efficiently it can prevent food parts such as dressings from falling or flowing out of the container.

  Preferably, a connection lug is provided between two adjacent side wall surfaces. Such a connection lug offers various advantages. This connecting lug can initially participate in the movement by helping to transmit the movement of the side wall surface during the inner or outer pivot to the adjacent side wall surface. Secondly, the connecting lug serves to prevent the portion of food from dropping or drooping out by at least partially sealing the contact ridge between two adjacent side wall surfaces at the bottom folding position. . Third, the connection lug serves to widen the surface of the tray at the tray position where the bottom is not bent. The connection lug can also be provided at each corner where the two side wall surfaces at the bottom are adjacent.

  Preferably, the connection lug has a predetermined fold line along a bisector between two adjacent side wall surfaces. This aids inward folding of the connecting lug as the side wall surface is pivoted relative to the bottom.

  It is preferable that the connection lug protrudes to the inside of the bottom at the substantially box-shaped position. Thereby, since the connection lug does not protrude outside the bottom, the container can be closed better. Furthermore, the connecting lugs can perform other advantageous work inside the bottom.

  In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a recess is provided at the outer edge of the connection lug, ie the edge of the connection lug remote from the bottom surface. When the corresponding side wall surface is pivoted upwards with respect to the bottom surface, the connection lug protrudes inside the bottom and is provided with a recess. This recess can serve to fix goods received in the container, for example food.

  More specifically, the concave portion may be disposed at a substantially central portion of the outer edge of the connection lug, preferably symmetrically with respect to a bisector between two adjacent side wall surfaces. This has the effect that when the connecting lug protrudes inside the bottom, the two portions of the recess are positioned on the opposite side of the bisector and thus form an enlarged recess together.

  Further, when the side wall surface is pivoted upward with respect to the bottom surface, it is advantageous to provide the concave portion at a position approximately half the height of the side wall surface from the bottom. In that case, the advantage of fixing the food in the recess is especially when the food is held away from the bottom surface, where the food is heated, possibly heated to a high temperature. As a result, an air gap that insulates the food from the bottom remains between the food and the bottom. Thus, the food remains hot for a long time and the handling of the container is improved for the user.

  It is advantageous if the size of the bottom surface corresponds to the size of the lid surface or at least partly smaller than the lid surface. Thereby, the container can be brought particularly easily to the closed position where the lid covers the bottom.

  The three surfaces of the lid portion may be fixed so that each of them is substantially perpendicular to the lid surface. This makes the lid particularly stable and provides a box-like shape that overlaps the bottom.

  In order to obtain a lid design that is as permanently stable as possible, it is advantageous to glue the two adjacent sides of the lid together. Alternatively, other types of connections can be implemented.

  In a further improved modification of the invention, at least one side surface of the lid portion has a fold line along a bisector between a ridge connecting this side surface to the lid surface and a ridge connecting this side surface to the adjacent side surface. To have. Thereby, these side surfaces can be bent or pivoted to a position where the side surfaces become flat on the lid surface, and the required space can be reduced.

  More preferably, each of the two opposing side surfaces of the lid portion is provided with a fold line along a bisector between a ridge connecting each side surface to the lid surface and a ridge connecting each side surface to the adjacent side surface. This is because these two opposing side surfaces can be pivoted to a position where they are flat on the lid surface, and this movement is transmitted to the intermediate side surface via the fold line, so this side surface is also on the lid surface. There is an advantage that it can be bent so as to lie flat. Thus, the entire lid can be folded into a flat position where all of its components are positioned flat with respect to each other. This then has the advantage that a very large number of containers can be stacked in a space-saving manner, since the entire material of the container can be folded into a flat position with a corresponding flat foldable bottom. As a result, significant logistical benefits are obtained.

  One possible way of forming the fold line is to perforate the container material at the corresponding location of the container. This is a technique that can be technically easily carried out, i.e. a method in which the degree of the fold line is determined in advance and the bending along the line is easy because of the weakened material.

  In order to promote the movement of the goods contained in the container, it is advantageous to fold the container in a closed position in which the bottom part has a box shape and the lid part overlaps the bottom part. This has the advantage that the pivotable side wall surface of the bottom does not pivot outward by the lid overlapping the bottom, thereby ensuring that the bottom remains in the box-shaped position. Goods placed in the container can be transported in a state where the container is not unintentionally folded back.

  Even better, when the container is in the closed position, the side of the lid is substantially parallel to the outside of the side wall of the box-shaped bottom. In this way, the side walls double the corresponding side walls at the bottom, and an air gap still remains inside the double wall. Both these elements significantly improve the thermal insulation of the container.

  A further advantageous design is to connect the side wall surface to the lid surface at the first ridge and to the bottom surface at the ridge opposite the first ridge. For example, the shaft that allows the lid to pivot with respect to the bottom is positioned on the upper ridge of the side wall of the box-shaped bottom. From there, the lid can be pivoted particularly easily in a position overlapping the bottom.

  In a further advantageous variant, a gripping recess is provided on at least one side of the lid. The user can grasp the bottom of the container in the closed position with at least one finger, the bottom is held, and the lid is pivoted upward relative to the bottom.

  Here, it is particularly advantageous to provide the grip recess at the end of the side surface in the vicinity of the ridge connecting the lid and the bottom. Thereby, the positioning of the holding recess as close as possible to the pivot shaft connecting the lid and the bottom is ensured, which is particularly advantageous for handling the container, especially for pivoting upwards of the lid.

    A technically simple and aesthetically good way of forming the gripping recess is to round the corners on the corresponding side.

  A further improvement of the container according to the invention is that at least one side wall of the bottom includes a closing lug that can be inserted into a closing mouth or closing pocket on the lid when in the closed position of the container. Engaging the closing lug with the closing mouth or closing pocket ensures that the freedom of movement of the lid relative to the bottom is reliably restricted in the closed position of the container, so that the container can maintain its closed position more reliably. Become.

  The container can also be formed from a single piece material. Compared to a viable variant in which the lid and bottom are formed separately, the single piece material has the advantage of being easier and faster to manufacture. Here, the material can be formed by a punching die.

  The fact that the container is formed from a single symmetrical material also simplifies manufacturing. In general, a number of different materials, i.e. materials that are not simply foldable, are also suitable as material for the container. In order to simplify the handling of the container and its manufacture, a foldable material such as plastic, paper, cardboard or cellulosic material is better.

Embodiment

  Two preferred embodiments of the container according to the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same parts.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of a flat blank 1 for a preferred embodiment of a container according to the present invention. This material is preferably made of a foldable material such as paper or cardboard. The material may be, for example, punched from a larger part of this material.

  The material 1 shown in FIG. 1 becomes a pivot ridge 3 at the minimum portion. In the plan view shown in FIG. 1, the material portion on the left side of the pivot ridge 3 represents the lid portion 4 of the container 2, and the material portion on the right side of the pivot ridge 3 represents the bottom portion 5 of the container 2. In the embodiment shown, the container 2 is formed from a single part in the sense that the lid part 4 and the bottom part 4 consist of parts of a single material 1.

  The lid 4 includes a rectangular lid surface 6 in this case, in particular, a rectangular lid surface 6, which will later form the upper side of the container 2, that is, the lid surface at the closed position of the container 2. The lid surface 6 is pivotally connected to the bottom portion 5 via a pivot ridge 3 that is one of the side ridges of the lid surface 6. The pivot ridge 3 can now serve as a pivot axis. The lid surface 6 is connected at its three other edges 7, 8, 9 to the side surfaces 10, 11, 12, that is, the two opposite side surfaces 10, 12 and the central side opposite to the pivot ridge 3. Adhesive lugs 13 and 14 are provided on each of these two side surfaces, and the adhesive lug 13 and the adhesive lug 14 are separated from the central side surface 11 by notches 15 and 16.

  The bottom 5 has a bottom surface 17 which is central, again rectangular, in particular in the present embodiment square. The bottom surface 17 is connected to the respective side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 at the four ridges, and the bottom surface 17 and the side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 form a cross shape as a whole.

  A connection lug 26 is provided between each adjacent pair of side wall surfaces. Each connection lug 26 has two side wall ridges 27 and 28 that contact the side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, and 25 adjacent to the connection lug 26, and an outer (side) edge 29 on the side away from the bottom surface 17. A triangle is formed. The outer edge 29 is provided with a recess 30 at the center thereof. This recess is here generally semicircular and is arranged symmetrically with respect to the two adjacent side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25.

  Partial cuts 31 and 32 may be provided in the central portions of the side wall ridges 27 and 28, respectively, so that the connection lugs 26 can be easily bent along the side wall ridges 27 and 28. Furthermore, each connection lug 26 is provided with a predetermined fold line 33 along a bisector between adjacent side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25, which may be formed by perforation.

  Each of the side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 is pivotable with respect to the bottom surface 17 via connecting edges 18, 19, 20, 12 in the illustrated embodiment. The side wall surface 25 closest to the lid portion 4 is adjacent to the bottom surface 17 via a ridge 21, while the ridge on the side wall surface opposite to the ridge 21 is a pivot ridge 3 that pivotally connects the lid portion 4 to the bottom portion 5. is there.

  In the region of the pivot ridge 3, small stepped portions 34 are seen on both sides of the material. The stepped portion 34 is inclined here, and as a result, the vertical dimension of the bottom surface 17 is slightly shorter than the vertical dimension of the lid surface 6. This is beneficial for accommodating the bottom 5 in the lid 4 when the container 2 is later closed.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the container 2 of the present invention formed from the material shown in FIG. For this reason, the two opposing side surfaces 10 and 12 of the lid part 4 are pivoted upward 90 ° with respect to the lid surface 6. Next, the adhesive lugs 13 and 14 are pivoted 90 ° toward the lid surface 6 until the direction is parallel to the ridge 8 of the wall surface 6. Next, the central side surface 11 is pivoted upward so as to be perpendicular to the two adjacent wall surfaces 10 and 12 and the lid surface 6. The adhesive bond between the adhesive lugs 13 and 14 and the central wall 10 permanently fixes the three side surfaces 10, 11, 12 to each other, and the side surfaces 10, 11, 12 are oriented in a direction perpendicular to the lid surface 6. 2. Ensure that the lid 4 stays in the position shown in FIG.

  It can be seen that each of the side surfaces 10 and 12 is provided with a round 35 having a large radius of curvature. The roundness 35 is provided at the ends of the side surfaces 10 and 12 closest to the pivot ridge 3 connecting the lid portion 4 and the bottom portion 5. The radius of curvature of the roundness corresponds exactly to the height of each side surface 10, 12 with respect to the lid surface 6. Later, the round 35 will serve as a grip recess in the lid 4.

  In FIG. 2, the bottom 5 is positioned at the same flat position as in FIG. In this “tray position” of the bottom 5, the bottom surface 17, the side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 and the connection lug 16 are positioned on the same surface where the lid surface is also positioned. Due to this surface arrangement, each component of the bottom 5 forms a so-called “tray” or flat surface.

  FIG. 3 shows the container already shown in FIG. Compared to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 shows that the bottom three side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24 are pivoted upward or bent around corresponding edges 18, 19, 20 with respect to the bottom surface 17. The position which became a right angle with respect to is shown. Thus, starting from the “tray position” of FIG. 2, the opposing side wall surfaces 22 and 24 on this side are first pivoted upward 90 °. Next, the central side wall surface 23 is also pivoted 90 ° upward. During this movement, the two connection lugs 26 in the vicinity of the side wall surface 23 are bent such that the direction of the fold line 33 faces the inside of the bottom portion 5. When the central side wall surface 23 pivots to 90 ° with respect to the bottom surface 17, the halves defined by the fold line 33 of each connecting lug 26 are flush with each other so that the side wall surface 23 no longer pivots. To. In the position of the container shown in FIG. 3, the lid surface 6, the bottom surface 17 and the intermediate side wall surface 25 are positioned on a connected plane.

  4 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the container of FIG. 3 at the position of symbol IV-IV in FIG. It can be seen that the side wall surfaces 22 and 24 pivot about the ridges 18 and 20 relative to the bottom surface 17 and approximately perpendicular to the bottom surface 17, respectively. In this position, the bottom 5 has a substantially box-shaped position, that is, a position where the bottom of the box is the bottom surface 17 and the side wall of the box is formed by the side wall surfaces 22 and 24.

  The connection lug 26 protrudes obliquely inside the box-type bottom 5. Since the recessed part 30 is arrange | positioned in the center part of the outer edge 29 of a connection lug, the recessed part 30 exists in the position of the half of the height of the side wall surfaces 22 and 24 in the box-shaped position of the bottom part 5, as shown in the figure.

  Goods 36, such as food, are received between two recesses 30 as shown. This can be, for example, a sandwich or a burger. Since the product 36 is fixed between the recesses 30, it does not move in the bottom 5. Specifically, it does not fall on the bottom surface 17. Accordingly, the air gap 37 remains between the product 36 and the bottom surface 17. In the case of a heated or heated product 36, the air gap 37 can serve to insulate the product 36 from the container 2. The product 36 cools slowly, and the walls 17, 22, and 24 of the container 3 do not become hot, so that there is an advantage that the gripping by the user is facilitated.

FIG. 5 shows the container 2 of the present invention in the closed position. In this position, the bottom 5
The side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 all have a box shape by the treatment of pivoting 90 ° upward with respect to the bottom surface 17. At all four corners of the bottom 5, the connection lugs 26 protrude inside the bottom 5, so that the product 36 can be held in the bottom 5 as shown in FIG. 4.

  The lid 4 is then pivoted around the pivot ridge 3 so as to overlap the bottom 5 on the box-shaped bottom 5. This superposition is facilitated by the presence of the stepped portion 34, so that the cross-sectional dimension of the bottom 5 is slightly smaller than that of the lid 4.

  At the closed position of the container 2, the side surface of the lid portion 4 and the side wall surface of the bottom portion 5 overlap each other on the three side walls of the container 2 and are parallel to each other. The side surface 10 is parallel to the side surface 24, the central side surface 11 is parallel to the side surface 23, and the side surface 12 is parallel to the side surface 22. In order to remain in a single layer, only one wall of the container 2 formed by the side wall surface 25 is present. The other three sides of the container 2 are double layers with overlapping side surfaces and side wall surfaces, and an air gap may still exist between the side surfaces and the accompanying side wall surfaces. The double layer and the air gap help to insulate the container 2.

  Due to the roundness 35, the overlap of the side surface 10 with the side wall surface 24 is not complete, and the gripping recess 38 remains. A corresponding gripping recess 38 can also be seen on the opposite side wall of the container 2 where the side surface 12 is round 35 and does not completely cover the side wall 22. On the grip recess 38, the respective side wall surfaces 22 and 24 of the bottom 5 are bare and are gripped by the user. The user can pivot the lid portion 4 with respect to the bottom portion 5 with the other hand while holding the bottom portion 5 in this way. This facilitates handling of the container 2 by the gripping recess 38.

  FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the container according to the invention. This differs from the previous embodiment in two ways. These two points can be realized independently of each other on the container 2.

  The first difference between the container shown in FIG. 6 and the previous embodiment is that the container 2 of FIG. 6 has a closing mechanism. For this reason, the closing lug 39 is formed at the edge of the side wall surface 23 on the side away from the bottom surface 17. It has an elongated shape and is positioned in the same plane as the side wall surface 23.

  The lid portion 4 is formed with a closing pocket 40 with which the closing lug 39 is engaged. The closing pocket 40 is formed by an incision into the adhesive lugs 13 and 14 so that when the lid 4 pivots on the bottom 5 into the closed position of the container 2, it is between the adhesive lugs 13, 14 and the central side 11. The closed lug 39 passes through the closed pocket 40 in the space. Alternatively, a closing port may be formed by cutting the edge 8 between the lid 6 and the central side surface 11 so that the closing lug 39 engages with the closing port. By engaging the closing lug 39 with the closing pocket 40 or the closing opening, the freedom of movement of the lid 4 is limited compared to the bottom 5 and the container 2 can be transported more safely in its closed position.

  A further difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is that a fold line 41 is provided on each of the two opposing side surfaces 10 and 12 of the lid 4. Each fold line 41 is provided along a bisector between the ridges 7 and 9 connecting the side surfaces 10 and 12 to the lid surface 6 and the ridges connecting the side surfaces 10 and 12 to the adhering lugs 13 and 14 attached thereto. It is done. The range of the fold line 41 is determined in advance by perforation, for example. The side surfaces 10 and 12 can be bent along the fold line 41 so that the side surfaces 10 and 12 are flat on the lid surface 6. The folding line 41 transmits this folding movement to the central side surface 11, which also pivots around the ridge 8 with respect to the bottom surface so that it reaches a position flat on the lid surface 6. The glue lugs 13 and 14 are still glued to the central side 11, but the container 2 can also be folded into a completely flat position in this way. In this position, the containers can be stacked and transported very well.

  Starting from the illustrated embodiment, the container 2 according to the invention can be modified in various ways. Of course, the container 2 is not limited to use with food. Instead of food, other commodities 36 can be accommodated in the container 2 and transported. Furthermore, the container 2 is not limited to the square shape shown in this example. For example, the lid surface 6 and the bottom surface 17 may be round, triangular, polygonal or any other geometric shape. The shape of the lid surface 6 and the shape of the bottom surface 17 may not be the same. This naturally increases or decreases the number of side walls.

  Alternatively, the bottom portion may have only the single side wall surfaces 22, 23, 24, and 25 that are pivotable with respect to the bottom surface 17, and the remaining side wall surfaces may be fixed to the bottom surface. This is also advantageous because the pivoting of the pivotable sidewall surface facilitates the proximity to the product 36 located in the container 2.
