Abstract

The ice cream holding cup (3) is characterized in that it is provided with a not glued removable portion (4) which can be easily raised so as to allow access to the ice cream product therein.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a partially removable closure cover for conic ice cream holding elements or cups.
  • There are already known a lot of containing or holding elements for ice cream products,which are designed so as to protect the ice cream during the processing steps thereof,from the making shop to the storing place and end user.
  • These containing elements,which are usually made of a plastic or paperboard material are closed at the top mouth thereof by a closing cover which is firmly engaged with the container body but can be easi­ly disengaged therefrom.
  • These containers,in particular,can be made in a lot of configurations,such as a cone configuration with a circular top cover.
  • In this connection,it should be apparent that a successfull acceptance of an industrial ice cream will depend,inter alia,from the operation and aesthetic characteristics of the ice cream container.
  • On the other hand,as it occurs in other fields, such as the newspaper field,a powerfull increase of the sales of a product can be achieved by associating with the product to be sold some types of toys or the like,possibly together with the possibility of gaining a prize.
  • Thus,the main object of the present inven­tion is to meet the above discussed requirements.
  • According to the present invention,this objects,and yet other objects which will become more apparent hereinafter,are achieved by providing the ice cream cup with a closure cover including at least a portion thereof which can be raised and removed.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • More specifically,the cover removable portion, e.g made of a paper material,is partially glued on the body of the cover so as to be raised to expose to the view the top surface of the body,thereon wordings can be impressed indicative of an immediate win of a prize.
  • Moreover,the above mentioned portion is advantageously provided with perforated lines allowing a part of said portion to be easily removed,in order to be preserved by the user for participating to prize competitions.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
  • Further characteristics of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof,which is illustrated,by way of an indicative but not limitative example,in the accompanying drawings,where:
    • FIGURE 1 is a schematic exploded view of an embodiment of the ice cream cup according to the inven­tion,provided with a top closure cover.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • With reference to the figure,an ice cream cup closure cover according to the invention,which is indicat­ed at the reference number 1,comprises a supporting element 2,made of a rigid material,provided with an edge 2′ for tightly and removably engaging the rim portion 3′ of an ice cream container or cup 3.
  • To the supporting element there is partially glued an element 4,made of paper of any suitable material,the not glued portion 4′ of which can be raised and/or remov­ed along lines 5 and 8,suitably perforated,to allow said removable portion 4′ to be easily removed.
  • Owing to the above disclosed arrangement,an user can be immediately informed about a possible win,by means of suitable indicating wordings 6 impressed on the top face of the closure cover supporting element 2.
  • Moreover,on the bottom surface of the removable portion 4′,which is not glued and defined by the perforat­ed lines 5 and 8,other wordings can be provided 7,bearing for example an address to send the removable portion to a given place for participating to further competitions.
  • From the above disclosure and accompanying drawing it should be apparent that the invention fully achieves the intended objects.
  • While the invention has been disclosed and illustrated with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof,it should be apparent that the disclosed embodiment is susceptible to several modifications and variations all of which will come within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
