  • Patent number: 9573726
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging comprising two containers (1, 2) each having an open end, and two lids. The two lids are a male lid (3) and a female lid (4) each having a topside and a underside and being adapted to close the open end of a container. The male lid (3) comprises a protrusion (7) and the female lid (4) comprises a cavity (8) adapted to receive the protrusion of the male lid. The protrusion (7) of the male lid has an edge (12) circulating at least a part of the protrusion at varying heights of the protrusion, and the cavity (8) comprises a ledge (13) mating the edge of the male lid, so that when the protrusion is received in the cavity the edge of the male lid abuts the ledge of the cavity. This results in that the two containers (1, 2) are combined into a single packing when the lids (3, 4) are arranged to close the opening of the containers and the protrusion (7) is received in the cavity (8).

  • Publication number: 20140342056
    Abstract: The invention relates to a closure lid (20) for a packaging (1) for food products like frozen confectionery, such as ice-cream cups or ice-cream cone sleeves, comprising a plate-shaped centre member (21), and a circumferential non-continuous flange member (22) designed to be selectively in full contact with an inner wall (13) or an outer wall (14) of the packaging (1) and extending essentially in a right angle from the circumference of the plate-shaped centre member (21), wherein the lid (20) is designed such that the plate-shaped centre member (21) can only assume a convex or a concave configuration, and can be manually transferred between the said configurations, and wherein said transfer translates into a change of the angular position of the flange member (22) relative to the plane defined by the circumferential edge (23) of the plate-shaped centre member (21). The invention also relates to a packaging (1) comprising the closure lid and to a packaged frozen confectionery product.
