Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of containers comprising a vessel and a lid.

[0002] The present invention more particularly relates to a sealing lid arranged to be used with a vessel.

[0003] The present invention particularly, but not exclusively, relates to a reusable container arranged to receive a food preparation such as, for example, a yoghurt. BACKGROUND

[0004] Document WO2011 / 144869 and WO2011 / 144870 disclose a vessel whose lateral wall has, at its upper part, an outer flange. This outer flange forms a thickness surplus which has a lower annular rim arranged to suspend the vessel in an opening having a suitable cross section. This outer flange has a slight inclination, the vessel having a decreasing outer circumference in the direction of the seat of the outer flange. This outer flange serves as a support wall for the lower peripheral flange of a lid configured to close the upper opening of the vessel. Such a vessel can be made of glass. The drawback of the above-described embodiment lies in the dimensional tolerance of the vessel which is detrimental to obtaining a satisfactory sealing when the vessel is closed with the above-mentioned lid.

[0005] Document CN204184715U discloses a container comprising a lid hingedly mounted on a vessel with a hinging device comprising an upper element which encloses the lid and a lower element which encloses the vessel. The lower element and the upper element are mounted in recesses and are hinged relative to each other. A removable retaining device connecting the upper element to the lower element is arranged opposite the hinge. The drawback of the above-described embodiment lies in the operations necessary to close the lid on the vessel. The lid retaining device in fact comprises a plurality of movable elements which must be operated in a precise manner to ensure the sealed closing of the lid. Another drawback of the above-described embodiment lies in the operations necessary to separate the lid from the vessel. The hinging device must in fact be disassembled to separate the lid from the vessel. SUMMARY

[0006] The aim of the present invention is to propose a sealing lid arranged to be used with a vessel having a lower annular rim which can be more simply removed and closed.

[0007] Another aim of the present invention is to propose a container comprising a sealing lid and a vessel having a lower annular rim, in which this sealing lid can be more simply removed and closed.

[0008] These objects are achieved using a sealing lid configured to be used with a vessel comprising an upper rim and a lateral wall having a lower annular edge, the sealing lid comprising a closure part with an annular support element configured to be supported in an annular manner on the upper rim, and a hooking part connected to the closure part by a first elastic hinge, because the sealing lid comprises a ring configured to be mounted around the vessel to be supported under the lower annular edge, and because the hooking part is configured to engage with the ring to ensure the sealing of the annular support element with the upper rim when the ring is supported under the lower annular edge and the hooking part is engaged with the ring. Thus, the hooking part of the sealing lid according to the invention engages with a part of the sealing lid and does not engage with the vessel. This implementation allows better overcoming the dimensional tolerances of the vessel, in particular when the vessel is made of glass. This implementation also allows better ensuring the hooking of the sealing lid. If necessary, a plurality of first elastic hinges can be provided between the hooking part and the closure part.

[0009] At least a part of the first elastic hinge, of the hooking part and of the closure part can belong to a main body made of a plastic material. Said main body can in particular be made of an injection-molded material. If necessary, the main body can be made of a transparent or translucent material. Alternatively, the closure part can comprise an insert. The main body can then be overmolded on the closure part.

[0010] The annular support element can be formed by an annular engagement piece configured to be supported on the upper rim when the ring is supported under the lower annular edge and the hooking part is engaged with the ring. Alternatively, the annular support element can in particular be formed integrally with the main body, for example by an annular lip engaged on the inside or on the outside of the upper rim of the vessel.

[0011] The main body can have a peripheral lower annular rib, the annular engagement piece being mounted under the main body inside the peripheral lower annular rib.

[0012] The main body can have an inside lower annular rib, the annular engagement piece being mounted under the main body between the peripheral lower annular rib and the inside lower annular rib.

[0013] Alternatively, the annular engagement piece can in particular be overmolded on the main body.

[0014] The hooking part can have a hook configured to engage with a lower edge of the ring when the hooking part is engaged with the ring. This arrangement allows reinforcing the ring.

[0015] The hook can then engage in a lower recess of the ring adjacent to the lower edge when the hooking part is engaged with the ring. This arrangement allows reinforcing the ring.

[0016] The hooking part can then have a second hook configured to engage with a lower rib of the main body when the hooking part is engaged with the ring. This arrangement allows improving the sealing of the sealing lid closing the container formed by the vessel.

[0017] According to one embodiment, the sealing lid can comprise a second resilient hinge connecting the closure part to the ring.

[0018] The second resilient hinge and the ring can belong to the main body.

[0019] The first resilient hinge can be arranged opposite the second resilient hinge with respect to the closure part.

[0020] The ring can have four sides, the second resilient hinge being connected to a first side.

[0021] The hooking part can then be configured to engage with a second side opposite the first side.

[0022] The second resilient hinge can comprise a first resilient portion connected to a second resilient portion by an intermediate portion, the intermediate portion being more rigid than the first and second resilient portions. This arrangement allows the first resilient portion to be arranged at the upper rim of the vessel and the second resilient portion to be arranged at the lower annular edge of the vessel. Thus, the height of the intermediate portion of the second resilient hinge is around the height of the lower annular edge of the vessel.

[0023] According to another embodiment, the sealing lid can comprise another hooking part connected to the closure part by another first resilient hinge, said closure part being arranged between the hooking part and said another hooking part, said another hooking part being configured to engage with the ring in order to ensure the sealing with the upper rim when the ring is supported under the lower annular edge and said another hooking part engages with the ring.

[0024] The other first resilient hinge and the other hooking part can belong to the main body.

[0025] If necessary, the sealing lid can comprise a second resilient hinge connecting the closure part to the ring.

[0026] Alternatively, the ring can be independent of the closure part. Thus, the ring can be independent of the main body.

[0027] The annular engagement can be configured to be supported on the upper rim when the ring is supported under the lower annular edge and the hooking part and said another hooking part engage with the ring.

[0028] The other hooking member can have a configuration similar to that of the hooking member. The other hooking member can have another hook configured to engage with a lower rim of the ring when the other hooking member is engaged with the ring. The other hook can engage in another lower recess of the ring adjacent to the lower rim when the other hooking member is engaged with the ring. The other hooking member can have another second hook configured to engage with another lower rib of the body when the other hooking member is engaged with the ring.

[0029] These objects are also achieved by a container comprising a vessel and a sealing lid, wherein the vessel comprises an upper rim and a side wall having a lower annular rim, as the sealing lid complies with at least one of the above mentioned features.

[0030] The vessel can be made of glass, which is of particular interest for reusable food vessels. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0040] Figure 9 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a container made of two parts comprising a vessel and a sealing lid according to the application;

[0041] Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of the sealing lid shown in Figure 9 , mounted on the vessel shown in Figure 9 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The container 3 comprises a vessel 1 and a sealing lid 2. The vessel 1 is intended to contain food. The sealing lid 2 allows the vessel 1 to be closed. The container 3 can be used to transport or preserve the food contained in the vessel 1.

[0043] The vessel 1 can in particular be used to prepare yoghurt. To this end, the vessel 1 is advantageously made of glass.

[0044] As can be better seen in Figure 2 The vessel 1 has an upper rim 10 and a side wall 12 having a lower annular edge 14. The upper rim 10 extends by an outer annular side border 11. The vessel 1 comprises a side wall 12 and a bottom 13. The side wall 12 has a lower annular edge 14 which is arranged outside the vessel 1 below the outer annular side border 11. The lower annular edge 14 can be provided to rest on the border of an opening of a vessel support in order to suspend the vessel 1 in said opening.

[0045] The sealing lid 2 is configured to be used with the vessel 1 comprising an upper rim 10 and a side wall 12 having a lower annular edge 14, to form a container 3.

[0046] The vessel 1 and the sealing lid 2 shown in the figures have a square geometry. The side wall 12 has a plurality of faces 15 which are coupled between each other by curved areas 16 and the lower annular rim 14 has a plurality of segments which are connected by rounded portions. Thus, the side wall 12 and the lower annular rim 14 have a non-circular geometry. However, other polygonal geometries, for example hexagonal, or non-polygonal geometries, for example elliptical or circular, can also be envisaged for the side wall 12 and the lower annular rim 14.

[0047] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 can be better seen, the sealing lid 2 comprises an annular support element 20 which is configured to be supported in an annular manner on the upper rim 10 of the vessel 1. The sealing lid 2 comprises a closure piece 30 which is configured to close the upper opening of the vessel 1 by association with the annular support element 20. The sealing lid 2 comprises a hooking part 40 which is connected to the closure piece 30 by a first elastic hinge 50.

[0048] The sealing lid 2 comprises a ring 60 which is connected to the closure piece 30 by a second elastic hinge 70. The first elastic hinge 50 and the second elastic hinge 70 are arranged on either side of the closure piece 30. The ring 60 is configured to be mounted around the vessel 1 so as to be supported under the lower annular rim 14. The hooking part 40 is configured to engage with the ring 60 so as to ensure the sealing with the upper rim 10 when the annular support element 20 is supported under the lower annular rim 14 and the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60.

[0049] The sealing lid 2 is thus removable with respect to the vessel 1 and can have the configuration of a container which is closed in a sealed manner by the vessel 1 and the sealing lid 2.

[0050] The material for the sealing lid 2 is chosen so as to allow the preservation of food, even frozen food.

[0051] In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the ring 60, the first elastic hinge 50, the closure piece 30, the second elastic hinge 70 and the hooking part 40 belong to a main body 80, as shown in Figure 5 The main body 80 is made of a plastic material. In particular, a food-grade polypropylene grade which is resistant to the required temperature variations can be considered. If necessary, the main body 80 can be made of a transparent or translucent material.

[0052] In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the annular support element 20 is formed by an annular engagement 21 which is configured to be supported on the upper rim 10 when the ring 60 is supported under the lower annular rim 14 and the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60, as can be seen in Figure 8 .

[0053] As Figure 3As can be seen in Figure 3 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first support surface 22 has three annular ribs 23. Preferably, the first support surface 22 has between two and four annular ribs 23. The first support surface 22 is configured to support the upper rim 10 when the ring 60 is supported below the lower annular rim 14 and the hooking member 40 is engaged with the ring 60.

[0054] From Figure 5 As can be better seen in

[0055] As can be seen in Figure 6 As can be seen in Figure 6 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the second support surface 24 has three annular ribs 25. Preferably, the second support surface 24 has between two and four annular ribs 25. The second support surface 24 is configured to be mounted between the peripheral lower annular rib 81 and the inner lower annular rib 82.

[0056] As can be seen in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen in

[0057] As can be seen in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As can be better seen in

[0058] As can be seen in Figure 3 , Figure 5Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be better seen in Figs. 1 1 and 12, the second resilient hinge 70 comprises a first resilient portion 71 connected to a second resilient portion 72 by an intermediate portion 73 which is more rigid than the first resilient portion 71 and more rigid than the second resilient portion 72. The first resilient portion 71 is connected to the ring 60. The second resilient portion 72 is connected to the closure part 30.

[0059] In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the hooking part 40 has a plurality of hooking elements. As can be better seen in Figs. 1 1 and 12, the hooking part 40 has a hook 41 and a second hook 42. As can be better seen in Figs. 1 1 and 12, the hook 41 is configured to engage with the lower border 65 of the ring 60 when the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60. The hook 41 engages in the lower recess 66 of the ring 60 adjacent to the lower border 65 when the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60. The second hook 42 is configured to engage with the lower rib 83 of the main body 80 when the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the lower rib 83 is formed by a portion of the peripheral lower annular rib 81. If desired, the lower rib 83 can be separate from the peripheral lower annular rib 81, or the main body 80 can be devoid of the peripheral lower annular rib 81. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the hook 41 is larger than the second hook 42. Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be better seen in Figs. 1 1 and 12, the hooking part 40 has a hook 41 and a second hook 42. As can be better seen in Figs. 1 1 and 12, the hook 41 is configured to engage with the lower border 65 of the ring 60 when the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60. The hook 41 engages in the lower recess 66 of the ring 60 adjacent to the lower border 65 when the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60. The second hook 42 is configured to engage with the lower rib 83 of the main body 80 when the hooking part 40 is engaged with the ring 60. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the lower rib 83 is formed by a portion of the peripheral lower annular rib 81. If desired, the lower rib 83 can be separate from the peripheral lower annular rib 81, or the main body 80 can be devoid of the peripheral lower annular rib 81. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the hook 41 is larger than the second hook 42. Figure 8

[0060] The sealing cap 2 and the container 3 shown in Figs. 1 1 and 12 are used as follows. Figures 1 to 8 The user can store the sealing cap 2 horizontally, as shown in Figs. 1 1 and 12.

[0061] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The user can store the sealing cap 2 horizontally, as shown in Figs. 1 1 and 12.

[0062] To close the container 3, the user positions the ring 60 under the lower annular edge 14 of the vessel 1. The user then pivots the closure part 30 along the second resilient hinge 70 so as to cause the annular support element 20 to be supported annularly on the upper rim 10 of the vessel 1, and also pivots the hooking part 40 along the first resilient hinge 50 so as to cause the hooking part 40 to be engaged with the ring 60. The hook 41 then engages in the lower recess 66, and the second hook 42 then engages with the lower rib 83 of the main body 80 formed by a portion of the peripheral lower annular rib 81. The container 3 is then closed in a sealed manner and can be used for transport or storage.

[0063] ​​​​​To open container 3, the user disengages hook 40 from ring 60 by pivoting hook 40 along first elastic hinge 50, and then disengages annular support element 20 from upper edge 10 of vessel 1 by pivoting closure 30 along second elastic hinge 70. The user can then remove ring 60 from vessel 1.

[0064] The proposed construction allows for a resealable container 3 by utilizing a vessel 1 with less stringent dimensional tolerances (such as a vessel 1 made of glass, for example). The hook-and-loop fastener 40 is attached to the ring 60, which allows for a sealed closure of the container 3 by compressing the annular support element 20 of the sealing cap 2 against the upper edge 10 of the vessel 1.

[0065] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The sealing cap 2' shown is also configured for use with a vessel 1 including an upper edge 10 and a sidewall 12 having a lower annular edge 14. Like the sealing cap 2, the sealing cap 2' includes an annular support element 20 configured to be supported annularly on the upper edge 10, a closing part 30', and a hook-and-loop member 40 connected to the closing part 30' via a first resilient hinge 50. The sealing cap 2' includes a body 80' made of plastic material, which includes the closing part 30', the first resilient hinge 50, and the hook-and-loop member 40.

[0066] The sealing cap 2' includes a ring 60' configured to be mounted around the vessel 1 so as to be supported beneath the lower annular edge 14. A hook-and-loop member 40 is configured to engage the ring 60' so that the annular support element 20 ensures a seal with the upper edge 10 when the ring 60' is supported beneath the lower annular edge 14 and the hook-and-loop member 40 is engaged with the ring 60'. Figure 10 As shown.

[0067] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The sealing cap 2' shown is with Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 8 The difference in the shown sealing cap 2 is that it includes another hook member 40' connected to the closure part 30' via another first elastic hinge 50', and it does not include a second elastic hinge connecting the ring 60' to the closure part 30'. Therefore, the ring 60' is independent of the closure part 30'. The other hook member 40' may be the same as the hook member 40.

[0068] Ring 60', closing part 30, first elastic hinge 50, hooking part 40, the other first elastic hinge 50' and the other hooking part 40' belong to the main body 80'. Ring 60' is independent of the main body 80'.

[0069] like Figure 10As can be better seen in the figures, the closure part 30' is arranged between the hooking part 40 and said other hooking part 40'. Said other hooking part 40' is configured to engage with the ring 60' so as to ensure the seal with the upper rim 10 when the ring 60' is supported under the lower annular rim 14 and said other hooking part 40' is engaged with the ring 60'.

[0070] The annular engagement 21 is configured to be supported on the upper rim 10 when the ring 60' is supported under the lower annular rim 14 and the hooking part 14 and said other hooking part 40' are engaged with the ring 60'.

[0071] Said other hooking part 40' has a further hook 41' configured to engage with the lower edge of the ring 60' when said other hooking part 40' is engaged with the ring 60'. Said further hook 41' engages in a further lower recess 66' of the ring 60' adjacent to the lower edge when said other hooking part 40' is engaged with the ring 60'. Said other hooking part 40' has a further second hook 42' configured to engage with a further lower rib of the body 80' when said other hooking part 40' is engaged with the ring 60'.

[0072] As Figure 9 As can be better seen in the figures, the ring 60' has four sides 61, 62, 63, 64. If desired, the four sides 61, 62, 63, 64 can be identical. The hooking part 40 is configured to engage with one of the sides 61, 62, 63, 64. Said other hooking part 40' is configured to engage with another one of the sides 61, 62, 63, 64 opposite to the above-mentioned side.

[0073] If desired, the closure lid 2' can comprise a second resilient hinge connecting the closure part 30 to the ring 60'.

[0074] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The closure lid 2' and the container 3' shown in the figures are used as follows.

[0075] The user installs the ring 60' under the lower annular rim 14 of the vessel 1. If desired, the user can install the ring 60' permanently on the vessel 1. In other words, the ring 60' can be configured to be installed with a little force around the side wall 12 of the vessel 1 under the lower annular rim 14.

[0076] To close the container 3', the user positions the body 80' on the vessel 1 so as to support the annular support element 20 in an annular manner on the upper rim 10 of the vessel 1. The user then pivots the hooking member 40 along the first resilient hinge 50 so as to engage the hooking member 40 with the ring 60', and then pivots the other hooking member 40' along the other first resilient hinge 50' so as to engage the other hooking member 40' with the ring 60'.

[0077] The hook 41 and the other hook 41' then engage in the lower recess 66 and in the other lower recess 66', respectively. The second hook 42 and the other second hook 42' then engage with the lower rib 83' of the body 80'. The container 3 is then closed in a sealed manner and can be used for transport or storage.

[0078] To open the container 3, the user disengages the hooking member 40 from the ring 60' by pivoting it along the first resilient hinge 50, and then disengages the other hooking member 40' from the ring 60' by pivoting it along the other first resilient hinge 50'. The user can then lift the annular support element 20 from the upper rim 10 of the vessel 1.

[0079] The proposed construction also allows to obtain a reclosable container 3' by using a vessel 1 with less stringent dimensional tolerances, such as for example a vessel 1 made of glass. The hooking of the hooking members 40 and 40' to the ring 60', by compressing the annular support element 20 of the sealing cap 2' on the upper rim 10 of the vessel 1, allows to achieve a sealed closure of the container 3.

[0080] Alternatively, at least part of the closure piece 30, 30' can belong to the body 80, 80' made of plastic material, forming the first resilient hinge 50 and the other first resilient hinge 50' and / or the second resilient hinge 70. The closure piece 30, 30' can comprise an insert, in particular made of transparent or translucent material, for example made of glass. The body 80, 80' can then be overmoulded on the insert.

[0081] Alternatively, the sealing cap 2, 2' does not necessarily comprise an annular support element 20 formed by an annular engagement piece 21 mounted in a lower annular rib 81 of the body 80, 80'. According to an alternative embodiment not shown in the figures, the annular engagement piece can in particular be overmoulded on the body 80, 80'. According to another alternative embodiment not shown in the figures, the annular support element 20 can be made in one piece with the body 80, 80', for example formed by an annular lip engaging on the inside or on the outside of the upper rim 10 of the vessel 1.

[0082] The invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described and variants thereof, but includes many modifications within the scope of the claims.
