Definitions

the present invention refers to a system of identical modular containers which can be piled up on top of one another, to be used particularly, but not exclusively, for the storage and transportation of foodstuffs.
plastic containers for foodstuffs which are used for the storage and transportation of foodstuffs of various kinds.
Plastic containers for foodstuffs are also used to transport the aforesaid food from one place to another, for example, when transferring from one house to another or during trips or excursions, etc.
the containers are piled up without there being a real seal-type means of closing, and this can lead to the contents coming out and an inadequate storage with loss of the flavour of the food, and also an undesirable contamination of the refrigerator.
picking up and transporting the pile of containers is not easy or safe, in that a careless or clumsy operation could easily cause sudden and unexpected separation of the piled containers, and the contents could consequently get spilt.
the general purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks of the known art by creating a system of identical modular containers that can be piled up on top of one another, in which a safety seal is provided between one container and another, picking-up and transporting of the entire pile can be carried out safely, and it is also possible to separate one or more of the containers at a time easily from the rest of the pile.
the system of modular containers in question is designated, as a whole, by 10 and comprises a plurality of containers 11 that are identical to each other and can be piled on top of one another, and possibly also comprises a top lid 12.
the containers described in the embodiment provided as a non-limiting example are rectangular in plan view and have rounded edges, but could also have any other geometrical shape suitable for the purpose.
each container 11 is provided with a restricted bottom section 13, which, together with the longitudinal perimetral walls 14 and transverse perimetral walls 15, identifies a perimetral undercut 16.
a number of containers 11 can be piled on top of one another, as shown in Figure 1, by inserting - with a slight interference - the bottom section 13 of one container in the top of the container set underneath.
the external dimensions of the bottom section 13 and the internal dimensions at the top of each container are complementary, and in any case such as to ensure a fit with a slight interference between the surfaces that come into in contact.
the reference number 17 designates hand-grips which extend from the longitudinal top edges of each container 11.
each container 11 on the sides of each container 11 (transverse sides) there is provided a positive clamping system between one container and another.
the said clamping system consists of a flap 18 hinged in 19 - for example by means of a line of less resistance - to the top edge of the container.
Each flap 18 presents, at its centre, an opening 20 designed for clamping, as shown in Figure 1, onto a tooth 21 protruding, in vertical alignment, from the container above, in the vicinity of the bottom section 13.
the flap 18 may, for instance, be made of a relatively pliant or soft thermoplastic material, either the same as or different from the rigid thermoplastic material of which the containers are made.
the top container of a pile or the single container can be provided with a closing lid 22 ( Figures 5-7) which has on its sides a tooth 23 for clamping by means of the flap 18 of the container 11 beneath, as clearly illustrated in the drawings.
the purpose mentioned in the preliminary part of the description is achieved of making a system of identical modular containers which may be piled on top of one another, where the containers making up the pile are interconnected positively by means of a chain-type closing system, which, however, does not involve all the containers at the same time but enables separation of one or more containers at a time from the rest of the pile in conditions of absolute safety, i.e., without any danger of the pile being overturned.
the system proposed by the invention moreover ensures a sealed means of closing between the containers, which is able to prevent any food of a fluid nature accidentally getting spilt out of the containers either during storage or during transportation, so that the flavour of the food is preserved perfectly without any pollution of the surrounding environment.
each container may be subdivided into a number of compartments; i.e., it may comprise a number of modules that can be fitted together when the pile is formed.
