Definitions

  • the present invention relates specifically relates to the containers for foods of the type marketed by Ferrero S.p.A. with the name "Snack & Drink".
  • Such containers comprise a hollow, generally cylindrical body made of moulded plastic material having a receptacle of greater angular amplitude substantially extending along the entire axial dimension of the body and a pair of receptacles of smaller angular amplitude whereof at least one extends only for a part of the axial dimension of the body, in which said receptacles are open at an end of the body and closed at the opposite end.
  • the hollow body is closed on the bottom.
  • the receptacle of greater angular amplitude is destined to receive a sealed container which contains a drink (typically, cold tea), whilst one of the two receptacles with smaller angular amplitude is destined to house a packet of bread sticks or the like.
  • a second receptacle with smaller angular amplitude is provided to house a cup containing a semi-dense food, typically a cream of chocolate and hazelnuts ("Nutella").
  • the container thus packaged is sealed in correspondence with the access end of the three receptacles, and is sold with a straw applied externally, usable to consume the drink.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks, and to provide a container of the type defined above which, without changing current conditions for filling and packaging the food products within it, allows to make visible and use the space available within the container for useful functions.
  • said aim is achieved thanks to the fact that the bottom of the body of the container is constituted by a lid that can be opened to allow access to the space available within said body.
  • the lid is formed in a single piece with the body and it is connected thereto by means of a flexible hinge.
  • the reference number 1 globally designates a container for solid, semi-dense and liquid foods according to the invention, typically destined to the use of the "Snack & Drink” product marketed by Ferrero S.p.A.
  • the container 1 is formed by a hollow body 2 made of moulded plastic material with cylindrical shape and circular cross section, whose cavity is divided by a diametrical baffle 3 and by a radial baffle 4 which substantially intersects the diametrical baffle 3 centrally, thereby defining three receptacles 5, 6 and 7.
  • the receptacle 5 has an angular amplitude that is substantially equal to 180° and an axial dimension corresponding to that of the body 2.
  • the receptacles 6 and 7 instead have at least an angular amplitude of the order of 90° and at least one of the them, in particular the receptacle 6, extends axially for less than half the axial dimension of the body 2.
  • the other receptacle 7 axially extends substantially over the entire axial dimension of the body 2.
  • a space 8 is made available within the body 2, which space 8, in the current configuration of the container for the Ferrero "Snack & Drink” product, is unused: currently, the body 2, which is open superiorly to allow access to the receptacles 5, 6 and 7 following the removal of a flexible protection guard, is closed inferiorly by a bottom wall.
  • said bottom wall is replaced by a lid 9 able to be opened and closed, which allows access to the compartment 8 thereby allowing the introduction therein of an object to be used (such as a straw and a napkin or serviette), and of a possible promotional object or gadget.
  • an object to be used such as a straw and a napkin or serviette
  • the lid 9 is preferably formed in a single piece by moulding with the body 2, and is joined thereto by means of a flexible hinge 10, shown in detail in Figure 5.
  • the presence of the lid 9 entails no change to the current conditions of filling of the container (i.e. the introduction of the cold tea into the related cup inside the receptacle 5, of the cup of "Nutella” into the receptacle 6 and of the bag of breadsticks into the receptacle 7), or to the current packaging, sealing and labelling conditions.
