Problems solved by technology

The common denominator of this entire range of containers consists of a material consumption problem, i.e., the consumption of plastic or raw material forming such containers since it requires a wall with determined thickness due to reasons of stability of the container, when the latter is held by hand, the thickness of the wall is much greater than that necessary so that the container exclusively accomplishes its containing function without being subjected to manual deformations.
Thus, if the container has a very thin wall, it is excessively deformable and hardly manipulable, and if in order to solve this problem the thickness of the wall thereof is increased, this entails greater material consumption and greater difficulty in reducing the volume of the container to the maximum when the latter is disposed as waste.

Embodiment Construction

[0006]The container proposed by the invention solves the problem set forth above in a completely satisfactory manner, such that during its use as a container it has an extremely sufficient rigidity in its was for determining a comfortable handling thereof, such rigidity however can be easily eliminated when the container in turn is going to be discarded as the content thereof is completely consumed, and all this with a minimal material inclusion as seen below.

[0007]To the end and more specifically, the proposed container focuses its features on the fact that its wall is a double wall, being formed by two thin plastic sheets, duly connected to one another to define a narrow chamber, such that the air contained in said chamber, which can be pressurized air or be at atmospheric pressure, provides the body of the container with a high degree of structural rigidity without the need of incorporating a greater amount of material, and it does not pose any problem when disposing of the conta...

Abstract

The invention relates to a disposable container. As containers for drinks, foodstuffs and other products may have very different common configurations, the container according to the invention allows obtaining a container that is sufficiently rigid during its use as a container while being easily deformable when being discarded in order to reduce the volume it occupies as a waste product. To that end, the body (1) of the container includes a double wall (3-3′) determining a narrow surrounding sealed chamber (4), such that said wall includes plastic sheets of reduced thickness which as a result of the chamber defined therebetween, provide the container with a significant deformation resistance. The container may be provided with a valve element or the like to allow deflating/inflating it in order to modify the volume it occupies.

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a container, specifically to a disposable container of the type of containers obtained based on plastic materials, such as for example PET, for containing drinks, foodstuffs or other products, although it can also be obtained from other materials common for this type of containers.[0002]The object of the invention is to attain a container which is sufficiently rigid during its use as a container while being easily deformable when being discarded in order to reduce the volume it occupies as a waste product.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]There is a wide variety of containers, ranging from a bottle or typical tray configuration to any modern design, obtained based on plastic materials which are used for the marketing and consumption of the likewise varied products.[0004]The common denominator of this entire range of containers consists of a material consumption problem, i.e., the consumption of plastic or raw material form...
