Benefits of technology

[0024]The operation of placing the capsule may be performed automatically and at high rates. Thereby it is possible in particular to reduce the time of contact of the contents with the surrounding atmosphere. Oxidation of certain food products in contact with the surrounding air may indeed have a significant impact on the visual and organoleptic aspect of the product, especially for foies gras and certain pâtés.
[0025]Thanks to the capsule, the presence of a gasket

Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of this kind of container is that the gasket can be in contact with the contents of the receptacle, which might lead to contamination of the contents.
Another disadvantage is that opening of this kind of container is sometimes difficult for the user as it requires a d

Example

[0051]In FIGS. 1 and 2, the illustrated container 1 comprises a receptacle 2, a lid 3, a capsule 4, and means 5 for connecting the lid to the receptacle.

[0052]The receptacle 2 is a glass jar comprising a wall having a generally cylindrical shape defining an internal cavity 22 designed to accommodate contents, such as a food product for instance.

[0053]The receptacle 2 also comprises an opening 23 limited by an edge 24 of the wall 21 and a ring 25 protruding from the wall 21 in a radial direction with respect thereto, near the opening 23.

[0054]The lid 3 is formed of glass or any other transparent material. The lid 3 is hinged on the receptacle 2 via connecting means 5. In FIG. 1, the lid 23 is illustrated in the open position. The lid 3 can be transferred by rotation into a closed position in which it closes the opening 23.

[0055]As usual, the connecting means 5 comprise frames made of metal wires. The connecting means 5 comprise a first wire frame 51 fastened to the receptacle 2 and a...
