Container and cone for same

Claim 2

A sealed container comprising: a hollow truncated cone shaped body made of paper sheet material having air tightness, the top end of said body being smaller in size than the bottom and thereof, said smaller top end having an opening defined by the upper marginal edge portion of said sheet material which extends upwardly and outwardly; means for closing said bottom end of said body; and a cover means made of sheet material being adhered to the inner surface of said marginal edge portion so as to make said container air-tight.

Claim 3

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover means has a depressed portion, a side wall of which is bonded to the inner surface of said upper marginal edge portion.

Claim 4

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover has a depressed portion including a tapered wall which is bonded to the inner surface of said widened edge of said top end of said body.

Claim 5

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover is of a disk-shape.

Claim 6

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover is of square or rectangle shape.

Claim 7

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said free edge of said cover is turned down along the outer surface of said body.

Claim 8

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover is made of polyester sheet coated with polyethylene.

Claim 9

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover is made of paper coated with polyethylene.

Claim 10

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein the sheet material of said cover is made by laminating or coating polyethylene on one surface of an aluminum foil.

Claim 11

The sealed container as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover is made of an aluminum foil coated on its one surface with heat-sensitive and/or pressure sensitive material.

Claim 12

A sealed container comprising: a hollow truncated cone shape body having at its smaller-size top end an opening surrounded by a marginal edge thereof, said body being made of sheet material including a paper and a polyethylene coating on the inner surface of said paper, said marginal edge of said body being widened so as to form a reverse-tapered small inner surface at the top end of said body; means for closing the bottom end of said body; and a cover made of sheet material including an aluminum foil and a thermoplastic resin coating coated on the under surface of said foil, said cover having an annular portion which is bonded to said reverse-tapered inner surface of said body thereby to make said body air-tight and form a free edge at the periphery of said cover beyond said top end of said body.

Claim 13

A sealed container comprising: a hollow truncated cone shape body having at its smaller-size top end an opening surrounded by a marginal edge thereof, said body being made of sheet material including a paper and a polyethylene coating on the inner surface of said paper, said marginal edge of said body being widened so as to form a reverse-tapered small inner surface at the top end of said body; means for closing the bottom end of said body; and a cover made of sheet material including an aluminum foil and a thermoplastic resin coating coated on the under surface of said foil, said cover having an annular portion which is bonded to said reverse-tapered inner surface of said body thereby to make said body air-tight and form a free edge at the periphery of said cover beyond said top end of said body.

Claim 14

The sealed container as defined in claim 11 wherein said cover includes a depressed portion the outer side wall of which is bonded to said inner surface of said body.

Claim 15

The sealed container as defined in claim 11 wherein said cover has a depressed portion having a tapered wall where said cover is bonded to said body.

Claim 16

A sealed container comprising: (a) a container body means made of paper sheet material which is impermeable to air and liquid, said container body means having a lower body part formed from a first truncated cone with its larger diameter at the bottom of said container body means and a relatively smaller diameter at the top of said first truncated cone, an upper body part integral with the top of said first truncated cone, said upper body part formed from a second truncated cone with its larger diameter at the top of said container body means and the relatively smaller diameter of said second truncated cone being the same as said diameter at the top of said first truncated cone; (b) a cover means for closing the top of said container body means, said cover means being made of a sheet material which is impermeable to air and liquid and being in the form of a third truncated cone which is disposed within said upper body part of said container body means so that the inner conical surface of said second truncated cone is contiguous to the outer conical surface of said third truncated cone; (c) attaching means impermeable to air and liquid for attaching said contiguous inner and outer conical surfaces; and (d) a closure means impermeable to air and liquid attached to and closing the bottom of said container body means.

Claim 17

A sealed container comprising: (a) a container body means made of paper sheet material which is impermeable to air and liquid, said container body means having a lower body part formed from a first truncated cone with its larger diameter at the bottom of said container body means and a relatively smaller diameter at the top of said first truncated cone, an upper body part integral with the top of said first truncated cone, said upper body part formed from a second truncated cone with its larger diameter at the top of said container body means and the relatively smaller diameter of said second truncated cone being the same as said diameter at the top of said first truncated cone; (b) a cover means for closing the top of said container body means, said cover means being made of a sheet material which is impermeable to air and liquid and being in the form of a third truncated cone which is disposed within said upper body part of said container body means so that the inner conical surface of said second truncated cone is contiguous to the outer conical surface of said third truncated cone; (c) attaching means impermeable to air and liquid for attaching said contiguous inner and outer conical surfaces; and (d) a closure means impermeable to air and liquid attached to and closing the bottom of said container body means.

Claim 18

The invention of claim 14, wherein said cover means has a manually graspable marginal edge portion which extends beyond the top of said container body means, and said cover means is sufficiently strong relative to said attaching means that said cover means can be manually removed from said container body means to facilitate opening of said sealed container.

Claim 19

The invention of claim 14, wherein said paper sheet material of said container body means has a polyethylene coating, said sheet material of said cover means has a metal foil, and said attaching means includes a thermoplastic resin coating on said metal foil.
