Description

Title: Containers
DESCRIPTION
This invention concerns containers, particularly for use in the sale of food substances especially confectionery substances, such as ice-cream or mousses, and drinks.
The object of the invention is to provide a container suitable for food substances, especially confectionery substances, such as ice-cream or mousses, or drinks that may be used to provide a gift or novelty item in addition.
According to the invention there is provided a container suitable for a food substance, especially a confectionery substance, or a drink that comprises a main container part for that substance and secondary container part for a gift, novelty item, token or the like that is preferably accessible separately from the main container.
Preferably, the secondary container is below the main container, and if suitably shaped may act as a stand for the main container.
Closure means for the main container may be of a conventional kind, such as of card, or paper or plastics that fits into the neck of the container and has a tab whereby it may be lifted off, or of a foil or film that fits over and is sealed to the top edge of the container, again with a tab or the like for removal .
Closure means for the secondary container may be of a type that fits over the container or fits into the neck of the container. The latter may even be hingedly attached to the container.
The containers of the invention and the closure for the secondary part may be formed of any suitable material such as cardboard, plastics or metal.
For producing a plastics container, thermoforming or vacuum forming may be suitable.
In an alternative preferred embodiment the main container may be a conventional ice-cream cone that sits in a secondary container say of cylindrical construction closed at one end and possibly flared at its other end.
In a further preferred embodiment, the main container may be a conventional drinks container such as of metal or plastics.
Thus the container of the invention can be used to provide a conventional food substance, especially a confectionery substance, or drink with a bonus of the type often appreciated by children.
The invention will now be further described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
Figure 1 shows a container for confectionery and a novelty item;
Figure 2 shows the container of Figure 1 in section with one form of closure therefor; Figure 3 shows the container of Figure 1 in section with another form of closure therefor;
Figure 4 shows the container of Figure 1 in section with yet another form of closure therefor;
Figure 5 shows another form of container with an integral closure; and
Figure 6 shows a thermoformed main container with secondary container.
Referring to Figure 1, a container 10 for confectionery and a novelty item has a frusto-conical main container part 12 atop a smaller generally cylindrical container part 14. The part 12 has a lip 16 and is intended for confectionery, such as ice-cream or mousse. The contents of the part 12 will be covered by a removable closure, such as of a peelable foil or thin card or plastics, preferably with a grippable tab for ease of removal.
The second container part 14 is for a novelty item such as a Toy, or Token exchangeable for say a toy. To retain the novelty item or token a suitable closure is provided. In Figure 2 the closure 18 is cup-shaped with a rounded bottom and fits snugly on the outside of the part 14.
In Figure 3, the part 14 has a cup-like closure 24 that has a flat bottom 25 but again fits snugly on the part 14.
Turning to Figure 4, the closure 28 shown here fits in the neck of the part 14 as a cap, having a shallow cup-shaped part 29 that fits into the neck of the part 14 and a raised lip 30 that overlies the edge of the part 14.
In Figure 5, the closure 34 is hingedly attached at 38 to the edge of the part 14. The closure 34 may be formed integrally with, adhered fo or welded to the edge of the part 14. Other than the hinged attachment, the closure 34 fits into the part 14 in the same way' as closure 28 of Figure 4.
Finally Figure 6 shows a container 40 formed by vacuum forming of plastics material that is particularly suitable for soft drinks. The container 40 is more or less cylindrical in shape, perhaps tapering only slightly towards its base 42. The base 42 is formed with a depression 44 therein as viewed from below that provides a space for a novelty or gift item. Said space is closed by a cap 46 that fits over the base 42. The main container 40 is sealed by a piercable foil lid 48 with a grippable tab 50 to aid removal, if desired.
In use, the containers illustrated will have ice-cream or some other confectionery substance or drink in the main container part 12 and a novelty item such as a toy or gift, or token in the smaller container part 14.
