CONTAINER WITH LID AND VALVE

Abstract

A multifunctional pot with cap and valve, having a body portion, a cap portion and a multifunction valve provided in the body of the pot, that prevents splashes and promotes additional safety and protection to the pot. The pot has a multifunction valve that has the function of relieving eventual internal pressures and also to act in the full closing of the pot, consequently protecting the product contained inside, for which it features the body of the pot comprising an upper surrounding border being turned over, and therefrom extends and articulates, centrally in its front portion, the pressure relief valve, which is formed by an oblong and laminar tongue provided with an extreme circular salience for fitting in the hole on the cap.

Claims

1. A multifunctional pot with cap and valve, comprising a pot manufactured in a single piece, of a thermoplastic material, said pot having a body portion, a cap portion and a valve provided in the body of the pot; the body of the pot comprising an upper surrounding border being turned over, and therefrom extends and articulates, centrally in its front portion, the valve, is formed as an oblong and laminar tongue provided with an extreme circular salience corresponding to the hole carried out on the cap; the upper border of the body of pot provides in its central back portion a small laminar portion which interconnects and articulates the cap, the same presenting a shape corresponding to the body of the pot, providing, in turn, a turned over and surrounding border, besides a cradle for the positioning of the valve, which provides a recess and a hole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] With reference to the illustrated drawings, the present Utility Model MULTIFUNCTIONAL POT WITH CAP AND VALVE (1) comprises a unique piece, being manufactured of thermoplastic material or other material of similar characteristics, providing a body portion (2), a cap portion (3) and a valve (4) provided in the body (2) of pot (1).

[0030] Said body (2) of pot (1) presents a prismatic shape and a quadrangular base with slightly outward inclined walls, its upper surrounding border (5) being turned over, and therefrom extends and articulates, centrally in its front portion, the valve (4), which is formed by an oblong and laminar tongue (6) provided with an extreme circular salience (7) for fitting into a corresponding hole (8) carried out on the cap (3).

[0031] The upper border (5) of the body (2) of pot (1) provides in its central back portion a small laminar portion (9) which interconnects and articulates the cap, the same presenting a shape corresponding to the body (2) of the pot (1), providing, in turn, a turned over and surrounding border, besides a cradle (10) for the positioning of the valve (4), which provides a recess (11) that simplifies the manipulation of the pressure tongue (6) and a hole (8) for fitting the circular salience (7) carried out on the laminar tongue (6) of the valve (4), and also for the relief of eventual pressures present inside the pot (1), usually originated by heating.

[0032] Although the present invention has been disclosed in the form of preferred embodiments and variations thereon, it will be understood that numerous additional modifications and variations could be made thereto without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0033] For the sake of clarity, it is to be understood that the use of a or an throughout this application does not exclude a plurality, and comprising does not exclude other steps or elements.
