Benefits of technology

"The invention is a container with a simple structure and a heating device that works by a chemical reaction between two products. The container is designed for safety and efficiency, with minimal parts and a simple construction. The technical effect of this invention is a convenient and easy-to-use self-heatable container for beverages that can be heated quickly and easily without the need for an external heat source."

Problems solved by technology

The models of containers provided with incorporated heating means which have been disclosed have certain drawbacks, such as their complex structure demanding complicated and therefore expensive manufacturing processes.
In addition, some types described in patents have a questionable suitability, given the technical difficulty in maintaining the constitutive parts thereof hermetically joined.
In other cases, the functional and shape design of the proposed containers is scarcely suitable for the intended purpose.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Constitution of the container. The body 1 contains the product, such as a beverage, soup or the like, intended for its consumption, optionally, once heated by the incorporated means.

[0016]Said body 1 can have any regular shape, such as a cylindrical shape, according to the attached drawings, and is made of a metallic material of a suitable thickness. In its upper part it has a flange 2 intended to receive a discoid lid 3 provided with conventional opening means and fixed by a peripheral crimp 4.

[0017]In its lower part, the body 1 has an area 5 with an optionally decreasing diameter and followed by a cylindrical area 6 with a smaller diameter provided with a flange 7 at its end for placing a closing lid 8, similar to lid 3, finally fixed by a hermetic crimp 24.

[0018]The container 9 consists of a cylindrical body having in its mouth a projecting flange 9′, therefore said component 9 is supported in the lower flange 7 of the first container 1.

[0019]The component 10 in the form of...

Abstract

The invention comprises an outer metallic body containing a product for consumption after heating and a second container which holds a reagent and receives a heating module formed by a housing which holds another reagent and is closed by a seal piercable by the pressure from the fingers before consumption of the product. Useful for preparation of packaged products which can be rapidly heated using an integrated heating module.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a self-heatable container.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The field of the invention is that of the preparation of containers intended to contain food products, especially beverages, soups and the like, which can be consumed at a temperature greater than room temperature and in any place, particularly when specific heating means are not available.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Several types of self-heatable containers provided with incorporated means for the local generation of heat in order to increase the temperature of a beverage up to a certain value are known. Among the mentioned types are that described in patent WO 03 / 064283 and other similar patents.[0004]The models of containers provided with incorporated heating means which have been disclosed have certain drawbacks, such as their complex structure demanding complicated and therefore expensive manufacturing processes. In addition, some types described in patents have a questionable suit...
