Description

BACKGROUND THE INVENTION

The The present invention relates to a dispensing and dosing closure for spreadable, semi-liquid and liquid Foods such as jam, spreadable chocolate cream, honey and other brushable Products known to be on toast, slices of bread and so on be deleted, as in the preamble of claim 1 set forth.

existing spouts or closures with spouts for paintable Foods placed on squeezable containers (compressible, rotatable, tubular) have at most a conical or cylindrical Dispensing closure, which has a reasonably small central dispensing opening, which exclusively for additional or seasoning products, like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and so on and this in Form of a thread spends.

The Growing demand for snack, snack and takeaway products drives companies, even typical snack products or products for the Breakfast, how Jam, spreadable chocolate and other packaging in containers of this type, allowing easier transportation and convenient use as well except House is given.

In In fact, the above products were initially in the form of a thread pressed on toast and slices of bread, then evenly distributed by a knife or the like on the same to become.

With The spouts existing today in the trade, the product in cylindrical Shape (in different thicknesses) and of a reasonably small Diameter (about 5 mm) spent on a limited surface. And if this the suitable type for Represents Würz products, so it can only be excellent for dispensing and coating products on big surfaces prove. In this way you have to several processes exercised in particular to cover a surface to be spread when it comes to larger areas, such as slices of bread, toast, etc.

There also the opening, through which the food is pressed, is round, is the use of a knife inevitable, to smear the product and distribute evenly on the surface.

Therefore it could only be beneficial to redesign the layout to to receive a rational levy and deduction for one small snack or a snack outside the house. This can be out Make jam and chocolate cream, the rational without abandoned the use of knives or the like on large surfaces and can be distributed.

SUMMARY THE INVENTION

Of the Accordingly, the purpose of this present invention is a closure to deliver two in a single dispensing operation Benefits, i.e. the metered delivery of a product by means of a broad, low and not cylindrical Slit on a toast or a breadcrumb and at the same time the deletion, thanks to the special shape of the closure, the Grommet or the dispensing nozzle, which can be easily produced without additional Request component.

One Another advantage of this invention is that the component or Devices that perform the function of dispensing and dosing closure guarantee, are stable and sturdy and thanks to the appropriate dense upper closure also allow perfect preservation of the content.

One Another advantage of this invention is the ease of implementation, by known processing methods, the dispensing closure, despite the numerous additional functions that this one delivers.

Yet Another advantage is that this closure or the spout on simple way in a single piece of nutritious Plastic is realized.

These Advantages closer to following explained Be through a closure or grommet for delivery and the dosage of contained in containers creamy, liquid or semi-liquid foods guaranteed having the characteristics set forth in claim 1.

Further Developments and forms of the closure or spout, the in the present invention can be taken from the corresponding claims become.

Therefore the invention consists of a closure or a spout, the was designed to deliver a food to a large area as well the distribution of said food on, for example one Toast, a slice of bread, etc. to allow.

Further Objectives of this invention are both the hygienic properties the process as well as a good preservation of the product.

DESCRIPTION THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Regarding the 1 - 4 , First embodiment of a dispensing and dosing closure ( 1 ), according to the present invention, for containers ( 5 ) containing creamy, liquid or semi-liquid P foods which are striped in a strip-like manner, from one side to the other, for example, on the surface of a toast and a slice of bread B, 9 , (like jam, honey, chocolate, cream cheese, dessert cream), consists of a lower body (A), by means of known devices, such as thread (1 °), Figure! or hooking device ( 1b ) 2 , at the opening ( 5a ) of a container ( 5 ) is attached. This body (A) has an upper area (A1), a modeled protruding area (A1) 2 ), in a dispensing and simultaneously 2 ) ends. In this first embodiment, the said body is in the upper area with a joint edge ( 4b ), with a lock closure ( 4 ), which is funded by 3 ) for the cover of the dispensing and dosing closure ( 2 ) and is used when not in use. The modeled outstanding area ( 2 ) has a transverse opening 2 B with a length that can be changed between 15 and 40 mm as desired and a suitable width (S) between 3 mm and 6 mm, 2A can vary.

This grommet ( 2 ) has an inclined protruding surface ( 2a ) which is rounded to the upper surface (A1) of the body (A) of said closure to allow perfect dispensing and distribution of the product and at the same time a comfortable attitude without angular edges when placed on the intended surface of a bread slice (B) or similar rests.

The suitable saw blade of the opening of said nozzle ( 2 B ) can be the upper edge of the slot ( 2c ) and guarantees the typical aesthetic groove effect of a saw blade.

The shaped area or spout ( 2 ) may be in the middle (A2) of said body (A) or in the middle, below the midline (A2) (as in 4 shown) to provide a better and easier dispensing of the product, also thanks to the outstanding shape ( 2a ) and to use the product remainders in the best way possible.

In addition, the molded area or spout ( 2 ), due to certain delivery needs, also be placed in an inclined position, for example, around the slot ( 2 B ) towards the thinner side of the container, 5 - 8th to position.

The edges of the slot 2d and 2e the spout (2 °) can be aligned with the surface of the body (A1) or the top edge ( 2d ) may protrude further than the lower edge to allow for a better brushing since the food to be spread is dispensed from the top edge ( 2d ) is squeezed onto the bread slice (b) or the like.

In addition, the body of the closure (A) advantageously with a lid ( 4 ) realized by means of a joint ( 4b ) is connected to the closure itself. This said lid ( 4 ), thanks to its inner surface ( 4A ), which is an area ( 3 ) with a depression (3 °) and since it contains a spout ( 2 ) has complementary shape, a perfect closure and air sealing of the slot ( 2 B ), provided that the lid ( 4 ) is in the closed position.

The dispensing and coating ( 2 ) - 5 . 6 - can also over the entire width of the upper area or the container opening ( 5 ), because among other things it has a relatively wider slot ( 7b ) and with a larger opening between the upper and lower edges ( 2d ) and ( 2e ) of the serrated lock is provided. In this case, the dispensing and dispensing closure according to the invention is provided with a body (A) which can be inserted into the opening of a container, for example a tube or the like.

In another embodiment 7 . 8th , is the spout ( 2 ) completely on the end area ( 9 ) of a tubular container ( 12 ) and therefore the said nozzle ( 2 ) are realized during the punching process of the tube or other container types and thus made of the same material of the tube and punched together with the tube.

Also with this embodiment, the lid ( 4 ) completely by means of a hinge region ( 4b ) with the container ( 12 ) get connected. The said lid ( 4 ) must of course also be equipped with a separate cover.

In the case of non-circular containers with removable closure 2 . 5 , is recommended in the body of the closure or on the opening of the container 9 to provide a stopper, not shown, for establishing a parallel connection between the closure and the container ( 5 ) after attachment of said dispensing and Bestreichverschluss to guarantee.

With This invention is intended to other closures or spouts to realize while doing the combinations of properties listed above to use, such as the containers for food products, the with closures and nozzles, as in the following claims described, are equipped.
