Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to containers, and more particularly, to containers having engaging features.
- Thermoplastic containers having bases and covers as components are generally known in the art.
- a cover engages with a base to define a storage volume into which food items or other articles can be placed.
- it is important that the engagement between the cover and the base is sufficiently secure in order to prevent the accidental spillage of the contents of the container.
- the present invention provides a container having engaging features for securing the contents of the container.
- the container comprises a cover and a base.
- the cover comprises a leash, which may be an integral part of the cover or may be fixedly or removably coupled to the cover.
- the leash comprises a protrusion and the base comprises a depression on the bottom surface of the base.
- the engagement may be in the form of a friction-fit arrangement or a snap-fit arrangement. This engagement provides the required security to the container.
- the cover can be attached to or detached from the base by applying force.
- the container may have more than one leash and a corresponding number of depressions on the base, in order to enhance the engagement between the cover and the base.
- the leash of the cover may comprise a living hinge to facilitate bending of the leash so as to allow the leash to reach the bottom surface of the base and get engaged with the base. Any number of living hinges may be provided as appropriate.
- the leash may comprise a depression in place of the protrusion and the bottom surface of the base may comprise a protrusion in place of the depression.
- multiple covers may be engaged with each other, separate from their bases, in order to stack the covers in a convenient way.
- a protrusion of a first leash of a first cover may be engaged with a depression of a second leash of a second cover, and so on, for additional covers. This arrangement helps in avoiding misplacement of the covers and also saves storage space.

- the leash 402 comprises a living hinge 406, preferably near the point of coupling of the cover 400 and the leash 402, as shown in Figure 4.
- the living hinge 406 is provided for easy bending of the leash 402 and thereby, facilitating the engagement of the protrusion 404 on the leash 402 with a corresponding depression on the bottom surface of a base corresponding to the cover 400.
- more than one living hinge may be provided on the leash 402.
- the leash 402 may additionally comprise an overhang tab 408 as depicted in Figure 4.
- the overhang tab is located along an edge of the leash 402, farthest from the point of coupling of the leash 402 to the cover 400.
- the overhang tab 408 facilitates a user to release the leash 402 engaged with the bottom surface of the base corresponding to the cover 400, by applying a small amount of force using a finger.
- the engagement between the protrusion 304 of the leash 302 of the cover 104 and the depression 208 of the base 102 can have either a friction- fit or a snap-fit arrangement as illustrated in the following Figures 5 and 6.
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the container 100 of Figure 1 depicting a friction-fit engagement between the cover 104 and the base 102 of the container 100.
- the friction-fit engagement between the protrusion 304 and the depression 208 is depicted.
- the depression 208 is a part of a sphere and the circular cross-section of the depression 208 is depicted in Figure 5.
- the protrusion 304 has a similar spherical configuration to frictionally engage with the depression 208 and to provide a secure engagement.
- the protrusion 304 and the depression 208 may have other configurations and sizes. For example, they can be a part of a cuboid or a trapezoid, instead of a sphere.
- Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the container of Figure 1 depicting a snap-fit engagement between the cover 104 and the base 102 of the container 100.
- the snap-fit engagement between the protrusion 304 and the depression 208 is depicted.

- the taper 602 can have any value ranging from 1° to 75°.
- the protrusion 304 has a similar configuration and size in order to be snap-fitted into the depression 208 and to provide a releasable locking engagement between the leash 302 and the bottom surface 202 of base 102.
- Figure 7a illustrates another aspect of the present invention.
- the embodiment of the invention depicted in Figure 7a comprises the cover 104 and a second cover 702.
- the cover 104 comprises the leash 302.
- the leash 302 comprises the protrusion 304, as best seen from a section of a cross-section of the leash 302 in Figure 7b or Figure 7c.
- the second cover 702 comprises a second leash 704.
- the second leash 704 comprises a depression 706, as best seen from the section of the cross-section of the second leash 704 in Figure 7b or Figure 7c.
- the protrusion 304 and the depression 706 can be engaged with each other, when it is desired to stack the cover 104 and the second cover 702 together.
- additional covers can be engaged to the stack of covers illustrated in Figure 7a, 7b or 7c, wherein a depression of a third leash of a third cover engages with the protrusion 708 (as best seen from the section of the cross-section of the second leash 704 in Figure 7b or Figure 7c) of the second leash 704 of the second cover 702, and so on for yet additional covers.
- FIG. 7b illustrates a cross-sectional view of the cover 104 and the second cover 702 of Figure 7a, depicting the friction-fit engagement between the leash 302 and the second leash 704, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the protrusion 304 and the depression 706 are about the same size and configuration to frictionally engage with each other, similar to the leash-base engagement as described for Figure 5. In this way, the covers can be attached to and detached from each other as desired, by applying force.
- Figure 7c illustrates a cross-sectional view of the cover 104 and the second cover 702 of Figure 7a, depicting the snap-fit engagement between the leash 302 and the second leash 704, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the protrusion 304 and the depression 706 are about the same size and configuration to snap-fit into each other, similar to the leash-base engagement as described for Figure 6. Any number of covers can thus be lockably attached to each other to facilitate the stacking of covers.
- the leashes when the leashes are removably coupled to the covers, the leashes can be removed and separately stacked. These kinds of arrangements can further help in saving storage space.
- a leash of a cover has been shown to comprise a protrusion and a base to comprise a depression.
- the leash may comprise a depression in place of the protrusion
- the base may comprise a protrusion in place of the depression.
- the depression of the leash can then be engaged with the protrusion of the base using engagement techniques similar to those described earlier.
- the present invention provides the required additional security between a cover and a base of a container by providing a leash on the cover as a releasable engagement member.
- the leash may be designed in any suitable manner so as to facilitate the attaching and detaching of the leash with the base of the container by applying minimum force.
- the covers can be stacked and organized in a convenient way using the leashes of the covers. The organized stack consumes less storage space in a kitchen or a drawer, and also avoids misplacement of the covers.
- the leashes when the leashes are coupled to the covers in a removable arrangement, the leashes may be separated from their covers and the covers may be engaged with the bases in the conventional way.
- the leash of the cover may again be attached to the cover and be engaged with the base of the container.
- the removable leashes may be stacked separately when not in use.
