  • Patent number: 6932234
    Abstract: A cup-shaped receptacle has an outer bead in its opening area for clipping on a plastic lid, which has a circumferentially continuous clamping groove for receiving the bead. The clamping groove is continued outwards by an elastically deformable constriction, and inwards by an outer wall of a circumferentially continuous, U-shaped lid recess, whose U-web of is situated below the height position of the constriction and whose inner leg wall forms a part of a dome wall of a dome which extends upwardly beyond the height position. The lid recess extends downwards beyond the height position and has an outer diameter at its outer surface which is adapted to the inner diameter of the receptacle wall such that the lid recess functions at least as a centring and guide projection for the lid-clip-on action, which projection slidingly co-operates with the receptacle wall already at least while the bead passes the constriction.

  • Patent number: 6120721
    Abstract: A process for the production of pile-up lids, each of which comprises an upper wall (1) and an element (2) arranged around the perimeter of said upper wall (1) and which forms a lip (3) protruding above said upper wall (1), and skirt (4) extending below said upper wall (1); the process includes the steps of bringing together in a synchronous manner external sector elements (9) and internal sector elements (10) in radially opposite directions so that, owing to the forced approach of the contact surfaces of the external and internal sector elements (9, 10) with said upper lip (3) of said lid interposed between them, a reeding pressure-molding is obtained on both the inner and the outer surfaces of said upper lip (3), giving said lip (3) an outline to allow piling up on other similar lids.

  • Patent number: 6004125
    Abstract: An apparatus for the production of pile-up lids, each of which comprises an upper wall (1) and an element (2) arranged around the perimeter of said upper wall (1) and which forms a lip (3) protruding above said upper wall (1), and skirt (4) extending below said upper wall (1). The apparatus is used for carrying out a process which includes bringing together in a synchronous manner external sector elements (9) and internal sector elements (10) in radially opposite directions so that, owing to the forced approach of the contact surfaces of the external and internal sector elements (9, 10) with said upper lip (3) of said lid interposed between them, a reeding pressure-moulding is obtained on both the inner and the outer surfaces of said upper lip (3), giving said lip (3) an outline to allow piling up on other similar lids.

  • Patent number: 5586689
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a squeezable receptacle (1), especially for ice cream, comprising a body (3) which tapers downwards from a receptacle opening (2) and the wall (4) of which is defined by a circumferential surface (9) held together in an overlapping area (5) extending along a left-hand side and a right-hand side surface line (6, 7), said body (3) having at the lower end (8) thereof a flattened end section (17). This receptacle is to be improved in such a way that it will not leak, not even if it is subjected to stress for a prolonged period of time, and that it still has the advantages of the known receptacle and can be produced without any difficulties. In accordance with the present invention, these problems are solved by the features that, in the end section (17), a cut-out portion (10, 11) is formed in at least one surface line (6, 7), said cut-out portion (10, 11) being open towards the respective other surface line (6, 7) and being arranged, at least partially, in the overlapping area (5).
