Benefits of technology

[0009] In order to securely store the food in the container, the material according to the invention is preferably liquid tight or fluid tight. This prevents a penetration or leak of liquid fluids and / or a penetration or leak of gaseous fluids. In case of dry, in particular pourable food, gastightness can be sufficient in this connection. One can also do without gastightness if the food does not negatively change its properties relevant for the consumption due to being contacted with a gas, such as O2 or the like.
[0064] With respect to the dimensional stability of the container, it should also be noted that this can also be important in particular for the connection in the overlap region and the opening edge, for example to also continue the container shape in the overlap region, that means to impart the corresponding shape to a round or, for example, oval container even in the overlap region. Moreover, the dimensional stability is to prevent leakages from occurring in these regions.

Problems solved by technology

However, with this known container, one cannot identify whether the container is filled with anything, and if so with what.

Embodiment Construction

[0074]FIG. 1 shows a container 1 in a side view which has a cupulate design. Container 1 comprises a withdrawal opening 7 at its upper end in FIG. 1 which is surrounded by a rolled opening edge 8, also see FIG. 2.

[0075] A lid 21 is tightly attached to the opening edge 8. At least at one location, a lid handle 22 serving for drawing off the lid 21 from the opening edge 8 radially projects to the outside from the lid.

[0076] Food 2, which can be liquid, pasty, throwable or pourable, is filled in the interior of the container. The food 2 is filled in the container up to the filling level 23.

[0077] The container 1 comprises a container wall 6 which is formed by a blank according to FIG. 5. The container wall 6 is made of a transparent and fluid tight material.

[0078] In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the container 1 comprises a bottom insert 25 at its end 9 opposite the withdrawal opening 7. The same is at least partially placed over or in the wall 6 from the outside and connecte...

Abstract

A container, in particular for receiving food, has a wall comprising at least one layer. The container comprises a withdrawal opening with a bent opening edge and is closed at its end opposite the withdrawal opening. At least the container wall is formed from a two-dimensional blank which is connected with itself for forming a continuous container wall. To improve such a container that in a simple constructive and inexpensive manner an inspection of the interior is possible and all advantages of the known containers are maintained, the container and in particular the container wall are at least partially formed from a transparent or translucent, in particular a liquid or fluid tight material which can be shaped for forming the container and which is dimensionally stable after having been shaped. Also, blank for the manufacturer of such a container is provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a container, in particular for receiving food, as well as a corresponding blank for manufacturing such a container. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] From practice, such containers are known, for example, in the form of cups or the like which are filled with food to be stored and subsequently taken out or alternatively to be directly consumed from the container. [0003] One example for a collapsible container is known from EP 0 074 936 B1. This collapsible container comprises a tubular body with a wall made of at least two layers. At the upper end, a withdrawal opening serves for filling in the food as well as for consuming the food filled in. At the lower end, the collapsible container is closed. For the manufacture of the container, a two-dimensional blank is used which is first rolled and then connected with itself for forming a continuous container wall. [0004] The material of the container wall is a relatively flexible and ...
