WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/059009
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The creation consists of a cap (HIDE-CAP) with a special hollow space to be used as cap for a container or a bottle. This creation facilitates the combination of the functions: storage, heating, and cap, as they are combined in the same product. Especially in situations, where there is a need to save space, e.g. as provisions on board air-craft, ships, strains, etc., the creation solves a special need.

Description:
Cap with special hollow space DESCRIPTION: Designation: Cap for container with its own hollow space for storage of objects of a liquid or solid nature.

Application: The creation consists of a box (HIDE-CAP) with a special hollow space which may be used as a cap for a container, bottle, etc.

The creation may e. g. be used as an alternative to ordinary screw caps for bottles and as cap for other containers.

The creation facilitates the storage and keeping of objects of a liquid or solid nature in the cap itself which at the same time may be used as a cap for a container made of metal, glass, plastic, or any other material.

The creation may e. g. contain a straw, advertising material, information, cosmetics, peanuts, raisins, ketchup, etc. which of course will be adjusted to the contents of the main container.

The main container may e. g. contain sausages, travelling tickets, desserts, shampoo, soft drinks, chemical substances, etc.

The creation is assembled onto the container either with an adjusted screw cap or with a tip- up lock.

Upon assembling with a screw cap the upper and lower part are oppositely directed facilitat- ing the screwing on and off of the cap.

Upon assembling with a tip-up lock, a lock triggers a tipping function on one side of the creation thus tipping the cap off the main container. The tip-up lock may be equipped with a lifting hook which makes it possible to open and lift off the cap entirely (HOOK-CAP).

A ring is placed between the creation and the container to ensure the tightness of the cap. A plastic covering may be attached to the creation and the container to seal up the container and keep it free from dust, dirt, and pollution, etc. and thus increase hygiene. This covering may cover the whole container or just a small part between the creation and the main con- tainer. The covering is broken in connection with the opening of the main container.

The creation may also be used to heat the contents of the main container (HIDE-CAP HEATBOX). By putting two different kinds of chemicals into the creation and mixing these to generate heat, one may heat the contents of the main container.

In this case the creation constitutes an alternative heating source. The creation may be widely used and may e. g. be used for fast food, provisions, outdoor life, heated spare provisions, drinking cups for aircraft, trains, cars, boats, etc.

Known technology: In this field there is a number of different caps. However, there are no caps like the creation in question, where the functions: storage, heating and cap are combined in the same product.

The technical problem: With this creation it is possible to combine the functions: storage, heating and cap in the same product. Especially in situations, where there is a need to save space, e. g. as provisions for outdoor life, food and drink on board aircraft, ships, trains, etc., the creation solves a special need.

Additionally, there are numerous potential applications e. g. combined sale within the adver- tising, food, and stimulant industry.
