Abstract

The present invention refers to a multi-layered package, and particularly to a container comprising a container opening and a container bottom. Preferably, at least one outer wall comprises a predetermined removable wall section, revealing an information. The feature of the package according to the present invention is that the package is formed with at least one inner wall and one outer wall. Thereby, the wall section is as part of the outer wall a removable card.

Claims

1. Multi-layered container having an inner wall, an outer wall, an opening and a bottom, wherein the outer wall comprises a predetermined removable wall section which discloses an information and which comprises an edge in an access section, said edge facilitating the separation of the wall section by a user to unhinge or remove same, wherein

a thermal insulation compartment is provided between the inner and the outer walls, and the wall section is an integrated component of the outer wall and comprises a removable card, which projects into the area of the access section.

2. Container according to claim 1, wherein the edge of the wall section essentially projects in peripheral direction (∪

) forming a handle.

3. Container according to claim 1, wherein the edge of the wall section projects essentially in envelope direction of the container forming a handle.

4. Container according to claim 1, wherein said wall section is arranged between the opening and the bottom.

5. Container according to claim 4 wherein the wall section is arranged in the middle or between the opening and the bottom.

6. Container as claimed in claim 4, wherein the wall section is substantially rectangular and has a length and a width.

7. Container as claimed in claim 6, wherein the length of the wall section is larger than the width.

8. Container according to claim 1, wherein the compartment is an insulation space filled with a fluid.

9. Container according to claim 8 wherein the fluid is a gas.

10. Container according to claim 1 wherein at least the outer wall is formed of paper, cardboard or plastic and the outer wall is relatively rigid.

11. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the size, shape and position of the wall section is determined by a predetermined breaking line.

12. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shape of the wall section is substantially square, rectangular, round, oval or trapezoidal.

13. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the predetermined breaking line is supplemented by a bending line, which connects both ends of the predetermined breaking line with one another.

14. Container as claimed in claim 13, wherein the predetermined breaking line of the wall section comprises a perforated part.

15. Container as claimed in claim 13, wherein the breaking line comprises a non-perforated part.

16. Container according to claim 15, wherein the non-perforated part is rounded.

17. Container as claimed in claim 15, wherein the non-perforated part projects to form the handle.

18. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wall section is provided with an imprint on an inner and/or outer side.

19. Container as claimed in claim 18, wherein a substantially peripheral imprint is arranged on the outer side of the inner wall.

20. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least the outer wall of the cup is composed of a two-dimensional pre-cut part, which when assembling the cup can be connected with itself.

21. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wall section can be adjoined at an edge of the pre-cut part.

22. Container as claimed in claim 20, wherein the wall section projects over the edge of the pre-cut part in an overlapping manner and forms a flap comprising the handle.

23. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the access section is connected to the wall section at an overlapping portion of the pre-cut part, to facilitate lifting of the wall section by the user.

25. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pre-cut part comprises the handle for opening the wall section.

26. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wall section is arranged inclined with respect to the peripheral direction at an angle α

.

27. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the length of the wall section is arranged in the direction of the envelope line of the cup.

28. Container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the axis of symmetry of the wall section in the peripheral direction of the container forms a point of intersection with an edge of the wall section, said edge adjoining the access section, wherein the point of intersection with respect to the axis of symmetry of the access section is variable depending on the angle α

.

29. Container according to claim 1, wherein at least said removable card is relatively resistant.

30. Container according to claim 4 wherein the wall section is arranged midway between the opening and the bottom.

24. Container as claimed in claim 24, wherein the pre-cut does not overlap in the area of the access section whereby a recess is produced.
