Definitions

  • the fourth example refers to another type of bag used for potato chips and the like, where the problem is that the bags are unstable and because of their size large shelves are needed in stores to keep them from falling, as well as being prone to tearing when opened.
  • the solution is the same as for the above examples: providing the bags with lids suitable for each type of food product and a frame which keeps them in a vertical position.
  • the multipurpose container frame for all packages with mechanical lids and support devices consists of three main parts:
  • hinges 2 These faces are joined by hinges 2 and can be closed since rods 1 are vertically cut, see figure 2A which shows the four faces unfolded. Note hinge 2, and hemispheres 5 under which are double-ruled rods 1.
  • lid 10 Since lid 10 is joined to bag 5 and both are firmly attached to frame 1 through base 8A, the bag is provided with a retractable lid (figure 9) which can be pulled out or retracted into the bag, so providing a simple bag with a practical lid which closes tightly both for solids and liquids.
  • the frame consists of a set of rods 1, 1i and 1s which form 4 independent faces, see figure 2A, attached to each other by longitudinal hinges 2 on vertical rods 1.
  • this frame would be with three vertical rods 1 with two hinges 2 as in figure 3, in which case one rod would be in the middle and the other two would bend next to balls 6 and their respective sides F, P I and D, and the central rod would not have a ball on its upper and lower ends.
  • the corresponding face will have the anchoring intersection for the central rod and one of the rods on the opposite side of the faces.
  • This independent face arrangement is useful for making different frames with the faces or sides of different models, thus reducing manufacturing costs for molds as a full mold is not required. For example, 16 different models could be made from 4 molds.
  • This frame can be made in a single piece (see figure 1), i.e. its sides F, P,I, D are joined to each other since this structure would be made from a single mold. This could be useful in containing several envelopes, etc.
  • This frame consists of vertical planes 1 which are plates which form edges or corners and which are connected on their lower end to other similar but horizontal planes 3i and 2i, and on the top to 3s and 2s, with the sides connected through hinges 4 (figures 4 and 4c).
  • Figure 4c shows anchoring 6 which is a curved flap arising from one end of the side. Along its length are small orifices where small lugs 7 present in the inner wall of the opposite face are inserted (figure 4c). When both ends are inserted the frame is closed firmly joined by 6 and 7.
  • Figure 4 shows orifices 5i and 5s present in 2i and 2s which anchor the base of figure 7 or another similar one.
  • the planes frame allows joining plastic films by their vertical sides or any other side, with the set being closed by an upper and a lower base. This configuration would be optimal for sweets or other products.
  • a lid may be placed anywhere, although ideally it would be at the top.
  • Vertical sides F, P, I and D could have half-walls of an undefined shape to provide a larger support base for a user's fingers or to form the product or brand names. These half walls can be used in any of the embodiments described.
  • This structure allows attaching a half-frame to a package such as a cardboard box. The union could be achieved by eliminating plates 2s and inserting the box through 3s, so that it is trapped inside the half-frame and stuck to it by glue or a similar means.
  • This configuration allows to add to a package a useful device without incurring in great production costs by making alterations in machinery.
  • Lids are common to all, as well as bases whenever the anchoring system for the bases is suited to the frame model.
  • the walls which make up the structure may be of a single piece or with shapes providing areas on the frame so that it is easier to hold by a user. They may also have protrusions, lettering, holograms, divisions, etc.
  • the shape of the structures which make up the structures from the lower base may be cubic cylindrical, cubic square, pyramidal, spherical, cylindrical, all prisms, square, rectangular, oval, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, or all the above prisms with unequal sides, as well as any other particular shape required.
  • the rods may be round, triangular, square, rectangular, oval, double ruled, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, solid or hollow, etc.
  • the corner balls may be solid or hollow, cut in half or of any shape which matches the rods, for example square rods with corner balls in the shape of cubes, etc. although spherical balls will be used in principle.
  • Figure 16 shows a special shape of balls 2, 3A, 3B and 4. Balls 2 and 3B are shown in cross section so that the inside is visible, showing two small orifices on the lower side A and B and another two on the right side C and lug D on the left side.
  • each frame has two tabs on the top and two notches on the bottom, as well as four lateral clamps on the right and four notches on the left, since the drawing shows an elevation and the side is not shown.
  • the position of the clamps and the notches can be any, as well as their number.
  • All frames may be hung on the wall by a system of long plates with a device using clamps or similar means to attach or anchor the frame.
  • These anchoring devices can be stuck to the wall by an adhesive strip when applied on tiles, such as in a kitchen for a salt package with a dosing lid. This is a practical example where the package does not have to be taken out of a cupboard and returned to it.
  • the anchoring plate may have two or more attachments which can also be longer or shorter, depending on the number of frames to be hung, and it could also be screwed on as it has orifices available.
  • All frames may be mass produced by cutting them on the suitable face depending on the shape desired for them, on the fourth side for square frames, fifth for pentagonal frames, and so on for each shape of the structure.
  • Figure 1 shows two bases 8 with tabs 7i and 7s each. Which clamp one end of bag 5.
  • the flanges are firmly held by two tabs 7 of figure 1.
  • Figure 6 shows the flanges 6 of bag 5 held by tabs 7 being bent as these have inclined planes 7B which come out of base 8, and have toothed cogs 7A on their top vertical plane which engage each other.
  • Base 8 is held to the container frame by the anchoring of two grooves 9 which are housed in vertical rods 1 when the frame planes are closed (see figure 2A).
  • This type of base is ideally suited for holding any type of package, but particularly those having two flanges in its ends.
  • a package 6 has two lower flanges 5 which are clamped by four tabs 3 forming two pairs of clamps. These clamps come out from base 1 and hold flanges 5 by small teeth in the inner side of tabs 3. See teeth 7A in figure 6, identical to those in the two pairs of clamps of figure 5.
  • Package 5 is firmly held since the teeth bite into flanges 5 of the package.
  • Anchoring to the frame is achieved by two curved grooves 2 which come out of the longitudinal sides of the flat base 1 so that they engage two vertical rods, although they may be found in other parts of flat base 1, and so anchor onto other rods of the frame.
  • the base will be anchored both on the inside and on the outside.
  • This base can hod all types of cardboard packages or boxes or any other similar packages.
  • Figure 7 shows a package or box 7 resting on flat surface of base 1 with its sides held by flexible tabs 5 on the base. As shown in the drawing they are curved, with a vertical upper plane where opposite each other and on the inside are teeth 6 which bite into the sides of the package and hold it firmly by the cardboard surface or any other.
  • This anchoring base holds glass or plastic jars, metal or cardboard boxes and any other similar packages of any shape.
  • Figure 8 shows a package 6 in a vertical base 5 which forms a housing suited to the type of package to be held.
  • plane 1 Under the base is plane 1 with profiles 2 with a slit midsection, where flaps 3 from rods 4 are inserted.
  • Base 1 is held when the frame plane is closed or folded (see figures 2A, 3B and 4C which show flaps 4, 4s and 2s).
  • All bases can be adapted to all frames.
  • the anchorings can have hundreds of shapes as each package may have a means of anchoring which is particularly suited to it.
  • the previous examples are universal alternatives.
  • All bases can be combined with all lids, as well as holding the package from the rear (see figure 1).
  • the counterframe holds any package wall against the rear of the anchoring base and the main frame of the lid would be in front, connected to the counterframe or the model or alternative chosen.
  • the bases may be manufactured together with the frame.
  • Figure 2A shows flaps 4 which may be replaced by anchoring base 1 of figure 7 which would be split into two halves and the outer sides would come from rods 1 on the corresponding sides so that the final product is the same as shown in figure 7 where tabs 5 with teeth 6 are facing each other.
  • the anchoring base of figure 7 would lack lugs 2 and the base of figure 2A would also lack support flaps 4.
  • flanges 5 hold package 7 by closing the frame (figure 2A) as when the sides come towards each other the tabs and their teeth will also.
  • the teeth it must be commented that other alternatives with analogous purposes will exist to hold or clamp the surface of the packages. All of the above can be applied to all models of all bases, so that the bases can be made directly together with any of the frames, with a division so that the plastic mold can be removed.
  • profiles 2 may be added on the centre and sides (see figure 8) with a groove in the middle so that the two halves of the base may be joined at the middle or by either side to provide the support points with the lugs, grooves or grooved profiles. Any other anchoring device which provides stiffness may be used to join the base by its centre or a side.
  • Figures 9 and 9A describe it.
  • Figure 9 shows a side elevation of the cover where 1 is a flat lid which opens outwards, see arrow L showing the path of the lid, F is the front and T the rear.
  • the upper part of the lid, A will have a surface inclined towards the front so that the lid can be pulled out or in with the fingers.
  • the lower side of lid 1 has a triangular projection 10 (figures 9 and 9A) which surrounds the perimeter of the recess formed by the two vertical sides 2 of figure 9. These sides form a curved recess and have two curved areas, one formed by upper edges 2A and the other by lower bridge 9.
  • Lid 1 is held by hinge 11 (figures 9 and 9A) to the frame 3 with its axis below lower curved bridge 9 and coupling edge 4.
  • Frame 3 will be glued or held to the front of wall 7 of the package.
  • lid 1 In order to pull out the lid the projection of upper area A of the lid is pulled using the fingers.
  • the lid will come out following a curved path towards F and will be separated from the frame due to hinge 11, which also acts as the rotation axis of the lid.
  • lid 1 When it reaches the end of its path lid 1 will be stopped by stop frame 6 (figure 9) which will be inserted by pressure inside the recess formed by the sides 2, lower bridge 9 and upper bridge 8, which have small teeth H (figure 9) present on their entire inside of their rear edges and will engage those on the outside of the stop frame. See the enlargement in the same figure.
  • the stop frame acts as a stop with joint 5 which is glued to the inside of package wall 7, so that the inside of the package is sealed and nothing can leave through the inner or outer edges of the inlet opening BE which is the inner perimeter of coupling edge 4, shown in figure 9 by line BE for the product in the package reaching the outlet opening BS.
  • the lid has teeth D and C which lock lid 1 as it opens and closes. Tooth D is on the lower edge of coupling edge and fills the space of inlet opening BE horizontally, and tooth C is on the sides of opening BE, forming a corner with D and vertical, as shown in figures 9 and 9A.
  • Locking is achieved because movable teeth D2 and C2 upon opening, and D1 and C1 upon closing press against fixed teeth C and D and engage them, so that lid 1 cannot move while pouring out the contents or remains tightly closed sealing the package.
  • FIG. 9A shows the full set of parts which make up the retractable lid with it open and flat, and it will assume its operational shape when lid 1 is folded at hinge 11 against main frame 3, so that the recess formed by sides 2, the lower bridge and the upper bridge pass through opening BE and the recess is inserted but free to move forward and backward tightly fitted against the walls of opening BE.
  • This lid can be considered universal since it is cheap to manufacture and is not expensive to introduce in present packaging systems. As its name states it lacks a counterframe and could be applied to any package of any shape or material. It is primarily designed for cardboard boxes or packages without an inner bag but can be combined with any package, even a glass one, or with any container frame.
  • FIG 10. This lid is identical to that of figure 9 except for a few differences.
  • Figure 10 shows upper bridge 8 and curved bridge 9 protracted towards part T (see figure 9). This elongation allows a larger separation between the stop frame 6 and the flat rear area of frame 3 (see arrow X1 which indicates this extra separation and arrow X of figure 9 where the shorter separation is seen).
  • This extra length of figure 10 is needed to anchor this lid to a frame with a base, and to anchor the package at the rear (see figure 10, an elevation).
  • Frame 3 is seen first, with the base of a frame or the cardboard wall of a package with an inner bag placed behind it. Behind the base would be a wall of bag 7 and after this bag closing and firmly holding together the set would be counterframe 13.
  • Frame 3 will be connected to the wall 5 of any package by gluing or other means.
  • lid 1 and sides 2, the upper bridge 8, hinge 6 and its plane 9 are made in a single piece, whereas main frame 3 and coupling edge 10 will be a different piece and plane 9 of the lid will be joined to the main frame by welding or glue.
  • This lid is ideally suited for cleaning or similar products although it can be used for any product which does not require a sophisticated lid.
  • This lid unit has curved bridge 10 in its lower end between sides 2, so that when lid 1 is pulled out it is locked at the end of its path due to a toothed area 8 at the end of bridge 10 which engages teeth on the upper part of coupling edge 4, so that it is located beneath 8.
  • a small tab 9 which bears on the rear of the coupling edge 4 as the tab is vertically positioned.
  • Main frame 3 will be connected to the wall of package 6 by glue or a counterframe.
  • lid 1 When lid 1 is retracted by pulling on projection 11, this will stop against its flat upper face 1 on wide joint 5 as shown in figure 12B, thus tightly closing opening BS since the zigzag folds 2 seal the ends of joint 5 by touching its ends and the lid will be locked in place by two tabs 7 which come out of main frame 3 which are inserted in the upper end of flat edge 1 and on the sides of projection 11 as in figure 12B.
  • Figure 12B shows the rear ends of folds A2 joined to the main frame by the front, and folds A1 are next to the rear flat end of the lid 1, and housed on their lower part so that when lid 1 is pulled out the lower end of the zigzag folds act as a hinge, since one end is inserted in slot E (figure 12A) and only the upper part can be pulled out since the folds are left free to be unfolded as an accordion.
  • This lid is an alternative to the above and may be suitable for cleaning liquids because of its closing system, since it is particularly well sealed by sides 2 which form a U-shape are fully sealed in its entire perimeter. It may be used for any other product as well and can be applied to any package, container or frame since a counterframe can be provided. It only has the union or anchoring devices to the package in common to with the others.
  • This retractable lid is ideally suited for packages which contain a long product such as spaghetti, but can be used for any other product - see figures 13 and 13A, which show lid 1 open and vertical joined by hinge 6 to a small edge 5 in a vertical position which emerges from the main frame 2.
  • Joint 4 is glued above the horizontal plane of this frame 2 and under it is coupling edge 10.
  • lid 1 On the opposite end to hinge 6 of lid 1 is projection 11 used to open or close lid 1.
  • the lid has a small toothed mechanism for positioning it open or closed which consists of a curved part 7 emerging from the inner end of coupling edge 10 and with teeth facing outward, which engage those of curved piece 7 in its lower side. Both when opening or closing the lid these parts will engage and position the lid.
  • Lid 1 will be locked when closed by tabs 9 which come out of the upper flat surface of the main frame and out of its front F. These tabs 9 are hook shaped and thus latch onto the sides of lid 1. In order to open it it will suffice to pull on 11 and overcome the resistance of tabs 9 until curved part 7 stops against pin 8, thus stopping lid 1 which will remain vertical as seen in figure 13.
  • This lid may be applied to any package or frame. It may be anchored by glue or a counterframe and manufactured in a single plane: lid 1 and main frame 2 will be joined by hinge 6 and will be in an operation a1 position when the lid is folded by hinge 6 towards main frame 2 until the teeth and the stops engage.
  • lid 1 and main frame 4 are two separate parts, as opposed to the folding lid with a positioning mechanism.
  • Flat lid 1 is directly anchored on lateral rods 7 of the frame by two grooves 3 on two longitudinal edges and in which are inserted rods 7 in a horizontal position so that they are firmly inserted but free to slide. Lid 1 will be free to slide by pushing it manually through projection 5 at its front upper end. Arrow B shows the path followed by the lid as it is pushed towards C indicating a closed opening position X, while when it is pushed in the other direction A it has an open position X since as lid 1 moves towards A outlet opening BS is opened.
  • joint 4 which will be glued to the top of main frame 2 along the perimeter of opening BS.
  • Lid 1 shall have a beveled recess 9 like a ramp on its lower area placed along the edge next to projection 5 and in front of it. This recess 9 allows lid 1 to slide over joint 4 without tripping on its surface.
  • Main frame 2 will be anchored to flaps 4s of a frame by a set of small lugs 2 as in figure 7.
  • main frame 2 Under main frame 2 is coupling edge 6 so that main frame 2 may be attached to the package. It must be mentioned that main frame 2 is an altered base, i.e. on one side it is anchored to the frame by lugs 2 of figure 7 and on the other it acts as a main frame 2 joining lid 1 of figures 15 and 15A to any frame.
  • the package may be joined to the main frame 2 either by glue r a counterframe 13 as in figure 10.
  • the package is held by horizontal rods 1 of the frame in figure 2 and the base beneath it as in figures 5, 6, 7,and 8.
  • This sliding lid can be applied to any container frame and for any product, particularly for potato chip type bags.
  • the dosing lid can be applied to any container frame on the underside, see figure 4, by a support base as in figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 or any modification of these.
  • the frame of figure 4 will be anchored to a base by its lower end 2i.
  • the package will be attached to this base by its lower end provided with an inlet opening, i.e. it will have an opening in its lower area of any given shape so that it matches another which exists in the support base, and beneath it the dosing lid will be attached with its coupling edge 1 (figure 17) inserting between the lower wall of the base and the package by a counterframe 13 (figure 10) latched against edge 1 of the dosing lid through the inside of the package.
  • the lid will be able to slide due to a main frame 3 provided with guides 3A and 3B as shown in the figures. Between these guides is a flat sliding base 2 which is free to slide.
  • lid 5 In order to extract lid 5 it is sufficient to pull projection 6 by its front part forward and projection 6 will bend from a vertical to a horizontal position since it is provided with a hinge 8. When lid 5 begins to slide tab 10 provided with an oblique slit will overcome a wedge-shaped lip in front of it.
  • lid 5 Since the lid is below the package, supposing the package contains powdered chocolate, as lid 5 is closed its concave shape is directly beneath coupling edge 1 which in turn is beneath the package. As the package is full of powdered chocolate this will pass through the coupling edge 1 and main frame 3 and end up housed inside lid 5, which as mentioned before has a concave-convex spoon-like shape.
  • the user can thus consume the product by simply taking a spoon with the product in lid or spoon 5 and placing it in a glass or vessel where it is to be consumed.
  • By closing the lid pushing on projection 6 towards the rear end T spoon 5 will return to its original position and be automatically reloaded with the product as it will be placed directly beneath the opening of main frame 3, so that the product will fall under gravity.
  • As it slides backwards flat guide 2 will scrape against tabs 9B on the rear part of upper guide 3A and under it, carrying with it the powder which remains in opening of frame 3 and in spoon 5.
  • This dosing lid is particularly designed for all products which are generally consumed using a spoon, such as coffee, chocolate powder, dry nuts, sunflower seeds, fried corn, etc.
  • All lids may be provided with a seal with certain special properties. It is biodegradable, see figure 18, as it consists of a cotton or similar material string glued to the inside of a waxed paper surface 3, a wooden ring 1 tied to an end of string 2 with a section of string extending beyond the surface of seal 3, and a small wooden circle 4 tied to the string on the other end and glued to the inside of the waxed paper 3.
  • Figure 18 shows ring 1 which is used to pull string 2 so that when a user pulls on it, section 2A of the paper 3 will be torn until the string pulls on circle 4 glued to the inside of surface 3, causing the seal to split in two.
  • One part, 3, will be left glued to the outside of the main frame of the lid, or anywhere else desired, an the other half of the seal will remain connected to the string by circle 4.
  • All lids may be made from the same plastic as the bases and frames.
  • Lids 9, 10, 11 and 12 may be made double, triple and quadruple by joining them by their lids and/or frames.
  • shape of flat lids 1 as well as the main frames and all parts involved in coupling these may be square and rectangular horizontally and vertically, or any other shape which allows a proper operation of these retractable lids.
  • Lids 9, 10 and 12 can be used for both solids and liquids.
  • Lids 11, 13 14 and 15 are meant for solids.
  • Lid 17 can be used with solids and semisolids.
  • Lids 10, 11 and 12 may be anchored to both the base of a container frame or to any solid wall of a package, whether cardboard, glass, etc.
  • Lids 13, 14 and 15 can have several shapes for their openings A of their main frames, as well as the openings of their anchoring bases and the walls of the packages which are coupled to these and their support and closing counterframes.
  • Lid 17 may assume several shapes for its lid or spoon 5, for its coupling edge 1, its base anchoring it to the package wall and the counterframe which supports and closes the unit.
  • main frames 3 may curve outwards or inwards, both vertically and horizontally. Therefore, main frames 3 also assume the shape suited to lid 1 on the outside of openings BE to couple to these. Main frames 3 will only adapt to these shapes on their front side since their rear will be flat in order to be set on the walls of the support bases or the packages.
  • Lids 9, 10 and 11 may have curved vertical surfaces for sides 2, which are in principle flat. Then the vertical side walls of opening BE will assume this new shape of the sides, which before was square, so that the recess formed by these will not be straight in a vertical direction.
  • Mechanisms formed by teeth D, D1, D2, C, C1, C2, 7 and 8 of lids 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 may be located in any position and have many different shapes.
  • Lids 9,10, 11 and 12 will have seals on their front sides and glued to the package base or wall outside of the main frames 3, so that inner outline 3A of seal 18 covers the outline of the flat lids 1.
  • Lids 13, 14 and 15 will have their seals on the plane of the outlet openings BS, so that they are glued to the outside of the main frames 4 of lids 13 and 14 and on 2 of lid 15.
  • Lid 17 will have a seal glued onto the coupling edge 1, with the seal string passing under spoon 5 and reaching the outside between tabs 10 and 11.
  • the string will pass a small shaft 12 housed in notches in the middle of spoon 5 so that it may slide around the outline of the seal and so tear its surface. This shaft will be manually removed after breaking the seal.
  • Lids 9, 10, 11, 12 13 ,14 and 15 can assume any orientation, direction, position and side, both vertically and horizontally on any frame and/or package for the corresponding lid.
  • Lid 17 can be anchored to the underside of a frame or package in any direction.
  • the multipurpose container frame for all packages with mechanical lids and anchoring bases consists of three parts:
  • base 8 When the sides of the container frame are closed base 8 will be anchored to it.
  • This base is made of the same material as the frame, and can be a single piece or several depending on the difficulty entailed in removing the mold. See figures 1 and 8 which show a base with two grooves 9 inserted in the round horizontal rods 1S and 1i on its inner face as shown in the drawings.
  • the base anchored by inner grooves shall have a flat base 8, figures 1 and 6, joining these two grooves 9 described above, since they come out of the side edges of the flat base and could be two grooves as seen in the figures, four or even more as they can be used on all edges of a base.
  • tabs 7 which are on inclined planes 7B.
  • Tabs 7 are provided with teeth 7A which face each other and are meant to clamp tabs 6 of any package firmly by bending the inclined planes, since in order to place the tabs of the package (figure 1) tabs 7 must be opened by bending them backwards.
  • This base can also be used to hold any lid, with the difference that it will be placed by applying pressure to the flat side of the frame where the lid is to be placed.
  • base 8A is fitted in the two vertical rods 1. In order to place the base it must be pressed against the front of the frame until overcoming rods 1 which are flexible and will give so that the grooves rest on round rods 1, and similarly for placing it on the rear of this plane.
  • This base for anchoring the lid can be used for the retractable lid with or without a counterframe (see figures 9, 9A and 10).
  • the lid shall be made of the same material as the container frame or the anchoring bases both for anchoring the package or the lids.
  • the lid can be used for pouring or dosing solids or liquids.
  • Figure 9 and 9A show an elevation view of the retractable lid without a counterframe, where part 1 is a flat square lid, although it could have any other shape.
  • the top has a protrusion A so that it can be pulled towards the front F.
  • a triangular lip although its shape can be any other, which surrounds the rear perimeter of lid 1 on the outside of the recess formed by the vertical sides 2; these shall have two curves, one on upper edges 2A which join at the rear by bridge 3, since it is joined to sides 2 and the other curve is on the bottom and joins sides 2, which is curved bridge 9.
  • Lid 1 is held by hinge 11 to the main frame 3. This hinge is a fold present between the lid and the frame. It axis of rotation is beneath bridge 9 and under coupling edge 4.
  • Frame 3 will be added by gluing to the front of any package wall.
  • the lid may fold towards the front following a curved path forwards and separating from the main frame by the hinge, which will act as a shaft.
  • lid 1 will be stopped by stop frame 8 of figure 9, which will be fitted under pressure inside the recess formed by sides 2, lower bridge 9 and upper bridge 8, which are provided with small teeth H on the entire inner perimeter of the rear edges and which are firmly engaged with those which the stop frame has on its outer part (see enlargement in the drawing).
  • the stop frame shall rest with its flat face against joint 5, which in turn is glued to the outer perimeter of the coupling edge 4 and to the rear of wall 7 of the package, so that the inside of the package is sealed closed by the pressure on joint 5.
  • Opening BE is the inner perimeter of coupling edge 4. The product contained in the package enters through this opening and continues towards outlet opening BS.
  • the lid is provided with teeth D and C which block lid 1 when it is open and closed.
  • Teeth D are in the inside of the coupling edge 4 and occupies the entire width of opening BE horizontally, and C are on the sides of opening BE forming an angle with D and in a vertical position, as shown in figures 9 and 9A.
  • the set of lid 1 and main frame 2 is made in a single piece so that the mold outlet may be made, see figure 9A where the full set of parts which make up the lid is shown. It is shown flat and unfolded and will adopt its operational position by folding lid 1 by its hinge 11 against main frame 3, so that the recess formed by sides 2, lower bridge 9 and upper bridge 8 passes through opening BE. The recess will be free to move forward and backwards, although tightly fitted against the walls of inlet opening BE.
  • the lid is closed by pushing on A towards the rear T as shown by line L, until the triangular lip 10 on the plane of lid 1 stops against joint 9A.
  • the retractable lid with a counterframe will be identical to that with one except in that upper bridge 8 and curved bridge 9 in figure 10 are protracted towards the rear as in figure 9.
  • This protraction allows a greater separation between stop frame 6 and the rear flat part of main frame 3, see line X1 which indicates the extra separation, and arrow X of figure 9 showing the shorter separation.
  • the extra length of figure 10 is needed in order to anchor the lid to a frame by a base and to anchor the package from behind.
  • Figure 10 shows an elevation view of the lid. In first place is main frame 3, behind it would be the base of a frame or the wall of a package with an inner bag 12.
