Description

[0001] Octagonal Food Container with Compartment

[0002] The invention relates to light industry, namely packaging means, in particular to containers for placing food products, and can be used for storing and transporting food products, prepared meals in cafes, canteens, restaurants, and at home.

[0003] The use of octagonal food containers allows, on the one hand, the use of standard sheet blanks, which are cost-effectively converted into volumetric products from a production point of view, and also, unlike standard quadrangular food containers, these octagonal containers have greater rigidity due to the addition of four ribs to the container.

[0004] A variety of containers are known from the prior art, for example, an octagonal cardboard container for packing fruits and vegetables is known (https: / / ru.freepik.com / premium-photo / dark-brown-retail-carton-container-packing-fruits-vegetables-isolated-white_20319379.htm), the main disadvantage of which is the extremely low rigidity of the container walls, despite the octagonal base, as well as the impossibility of using the lid together with the container, since it cannot be tightly attached to it.

[0005] Also known in the prior art is a box (FEFCO Box 0352) made of corrugated cardboard (https: / / www.utupack.ru / 0352 / ), consisting of an octagonal body and two self-draining lids. A disadvantage of this container is its lack of tightness, making it unsuitable for use with liquid food products. Also known in the prior art is a cardboard container laminated with rigid thermoplastic film (RU 2792268, July 23, 2019), which is made of cardboard with a thermoplastic film applied over it. The main disadvantage of this container is the difficulty of on-site assembly without specialized equipment (a vacuum machine with heated film), as well as the impossibility of tightly closing it with an appropriate lid.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to develop an octagonal food container that eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[0007] The technical result of the present invention consists in increasing the rigidity of a container closed with a lid. The technical result is achieved by using an octagonal container with a division for food products according to the present invention. The octagonal container with a division for food products comprises An octagonal container with a division for food products comprises a container and a lid, where the container is made with an octagonal base with a division in the form of a protrusion, wherein at the base the opposite sides are pairwise equal and parallel, and the side surfaces are four pairs of isosceles trapezoids, the smaller bases of which are connected to the said base of the container, wherein the large bases of the said trapezoids of the container are connected to a horizontal shelf of the container, the outer edge of which is bent downwards; and the said division connects the large lateral sides of the container;the lid is made along the edges with a horizontal shelf that repeats the said horizontal shelf of the container and contains an outer edge that is bent downwards, the said lid on each side contains a lock in the form of recesses, one of which recesses rests against the inner surface of the side surface of the container, and the other is hooked onto the outer edge of the horizontal shelf of the container.

[0008] An additional feature is that the said recesses are made on the lid in a place coinciding with the place where the side surface of the container transitions into the horizontal plane of the container, as well as in the bent edge downwards at the horizontal plane of the lid.

[0014] The following positions are indicated on the figures: 1 - container; 2 - lid; 3 - octagonal base of the container with division; 4 - side surfaces of the container; 5 - right triangles; 6 - horizontal shelf of the container; 7 - outer edge of the horizontal shelf of the container; 8 - central part of the lid with a recess above the division; 9 - horizontal shelf of the lid; 10 - edge bent downwards; 11 - a lock in the form of two recesses for connecting the lid to the container, 12 - division of the base of the container, 13 - division triangles.

[0015] An octagonal food container with division according to the present invention comprises a container (1) and a lid (2).

[0016] The container (1) is made with an octagonal base (3) with a division (12) in the form of a protrusion, wherein at the base (3) the opposite sides are pairwise equal and parallel, and the lateral surfaces (4) are four pairs of isosceles trapezoids, the smaller bases of which are connected to the octagonal base of the container (3). The said division (12) of the base (3) is connected along the larger sides (isosceles trapezoids) of the container (1).

[0017] Fig. 2 shows a section of the container B-B from Fig. 1, where a lid (2) is placed on the container (2) containing side surfaces (4), a horizontal shelf of the container (6) and an outer edge of the horizontal shelf of the container (7), containing a central part of the lid (8) with a recess (not shown in this figure) above the division (12), a horizontal plane of the lid (9), a bent edge downwards (10) and a lock (11) in the form of two recesses for connecting the lid to the container.

[0018] Fig. 3 shows a development of the container capacity, where the fold line is shown in blue, and the cutting line in green. In the development of the container capacity, cuts are made in two large isosceles trapezoids (4), forming triangles (13) for the possibility of forming a division (12) in the bottom (3) of the container (1), which connects the large lateral sides of the container. In this case, the lateral sides of the adjacent trapezoids are connected by the hypotenuses of right triangles (5), and the large bases of the said trapezoids of the container and the legs of the said triangles of the container (5) are connected to a horizontal shelf (6), the outer edge (7) of which is bent downwards.

[0019] Fig. 4 shows a top view of the lid (2) of the container according to the present invention. The lid (2) is made at the edges with a horizontal shelf (9), repeating the said horizontal shelf of the container (6), the outer edge of which is bent downwards (10), and a lock (11) is made on it in the form of two recesses on each side of the lid for connecting the lid to the container. Moreover, said recesses of the lock (11) are made on the lid (2) in a place coinciding with the place of transition of the side surface of the container (4) into the horizontal plane (6) of the container, as well as in the bent edge downwards (10) at the horizontal shelf of the lid.

[0020] Fig. 5 shows a cross-section of container B-B, where one can see how the division (12) is located relative to the central part of the lid with a recess (8) above the said division.

[0021] The container is assembled from a sheet of cellulose-paper material, the unfolded form of which is shown in Fig. 2, with a protective heat-sealable coating. To produce the blanks, punching and creasing are performed. The individual blanks are then assembled using sets of punches and dies, and the welding is accomplished thermally by heating the heat-sealable coating and applying pressure.

[0022] Increasing the rigidity of a container closed with a lid consists of making a lock (11) in the form of two recesses on the lid, one of which rests against the inner surface of the side surface of the container (4), and the other is hooked onto the outer edge (7) of the horizontal shelf (6), forming a strong connection, which also makes it possible to reduce the possibility of leakage of liquid food products when the container is overturned.

[0023] It should be noted that the lid may be of any height and have geometric deviations from that shown in the figure as an illustration, within the framework of the described level of technology.

[0024] Thanks to assembly using thermal heating of the heat-sealable protective coating, the finished product requires no assembly and is delivered ready to use. This assembly method also eliminates the need for adhesives, reducing the overall cost of the product and increasing its economic appeal.

[0025] By making the side walls of the container in the form of trapezoids, the container has a smaller base at the bottom and a larger one at the top, thus allowing the container to fit tightly into one another, reducing storage and transport volume during storage and delivery of ready-to-use containers.

[0026] The transparent plastic lid has a large viewing area, which is important for presenting the product when it is packaged in a container.
