Description

Field of technology

The utility model refers to a means of applying embossed images on food products and will find application in the food industry, to apply a permanent mark on manufactured products, which will help to easily identify them and prevent attempts to counterfeit them.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

European Patent No. 0229008 discloses a means for applying relief images, which is a printed body with a convex metal surface on which the desired relief image is preformed.

In this known means for applying relief images, a relatively complicated technological processing of the metal printing surface is used.

Technical essence of the utility model

The task of the utility model is to create a tool for applying embossed images on food products, which is made technologically easy and suitable for multiple use.

A means for applying embossed images on food products has been developed, which contains embossed images. The created relief images, which can provide different information about the food manufacturer, are fixed on a canvas.

The canvas may be a plate made of plastic or rubber or metal, and the relief images may be prefabricated of plastic, or rubber, or metal.

It is possible to make the web with a mesh structure, which mesh structure is either plastic mesh, or metal mesh, or textile fabric.

Various embodiments of the mesh structure are possible depending on the type of embossed images, which can be prefabricated from plastic, rubber or metal, or formed by machine embroidery directly on the mesh structure canvas.

The possible embodiments of the canvas with a mesh structure as well as of the relief images suggest a number of variants, representing combinations of the type of the canvas and the type of the relief images.

The advantage of the created means is that it allows preservation of the technological process for the production of the respective food products. In addition, it is technologically easy to manufacture and implement at minimal cost, and is suitable for multiple use.

Explanation of the attached figures

The attached figures illustrate some of the embodiments of the embossed means, where:

Figure 1 is an alternative embodiment of a means for applying embossed images on food products with a textile fabric and embossed images formed by machine embroidery;

Figure 2 is a variant embodiment of a means for applying embossed images on food products with a plastic mesh canvas and embossed images formed by machine embroidery;

Figure 3 is a variant embodiment of a means for applying embossed images on food products with a canvas of plastic mesh and embossed embossed images.

Examples of implementation of the utility model

The means for applying embossed images on foodstuffs consists of a canvas 1 on which embossed images 2 are fixedly attached.

The canvas 1 may be a plate made of plastic or rubber or metal, and the relief images 2 may be prefabricated of plastic or rubber or metal.

In addition, the web 1 may have a mesh h

structure. In turn, the web 1 with a mesh structure can be made of either plastic mesh or metal mesh, as well as textile material.

The choice of the type of canvas 1 depends on the specific product on which the relief image will be applied and on whether the tool will be used by a small company or by a larger production enterprise. When limited quantities of cheese, yellow cheese or meat products are to be produced, it is possible to use a means on which the cloth 1 is made of a textile material. In the production of large quantities of dairy or meat products, it is appropriate to use a means, the canvas 1 of which is made of plastic or metal mesh, or even of textile material.

Depending on the selected type of canvas 1 with a mesh structure, variant designs of the relief images 2 are also possible.

In principle, the relief images 2 may represent letters, numbers and / or various figures selected by the manufacturer of the foodstuffs concerned (dairy, meat or other), as well as a combination thereof. Too often, the manufacturer's registered trademark is used as relief image 2, thus identifying manufacturers on the market while protecting against counterfeiting.

The selected relief image 2 is fixed on the canvas 1 of the mesh structure at a certain distance from each other depending on the type and size of the food products produced.

When the web 1 is made of plastic mesh, the relief images 2 can be prefabricated from plastic or rubber, and subsequently fixed to the web mesh 1. It is also possible for the canvas 1 of plastic mesh and the relief image 2 to be cast at the same time.

An alternative embodiment is also possible, in which the relief images 2 are prefabricated of metal and subsequently fixed to the web 1 of plastic or metal mesh.

An alternative embodiment is also permissible, in which the relief images 2 are made directly by machine embroidery on the canvas 1 of plastic mesh.

In cases when textile material is used as canvas 1 with mesh structure 5, then the relief images 2 are mainly formed by machine embroidery, and it is possible to attach to the canvas of IQ textile fabric 1 prefabricated rubber relief images 2, plastic or metal.

Possible embodiments of the means for applying the relief images are not limited only to the variants described above.

Using the utility model

The created tool is used in the following 20 ways.

In the production of limited quantities of food products, for example cheese, it is possible to use a means for applying embossed images, on which the canvas 1 is made of textile material. In this case, the means is located below the selected dosed volume of food product and after the processes of removal of its moisture and respectively smooth hardening30, under the own weight of the volume of food product, relief image 2 appears. in the process of pressing the dosing volume, increasing weights are placed on it, so that at the end of the technological process a permanent imprint is applied, obtained as a mirror image of the embroidered relief image 2.

In the production of foodstuffs, for example cheese in large containers, it is more appropriate to use a means of applying embossed images filled with canvas 1 of plastic or metal mesh. In this case, the means is placed on the selected dose volume, as in the process of manufacturing the cheese is placed increasing ^4-weights. Thus, in the case of large volumes, displacement of the agent typical of textile materials is avoided and the correct positioning of the relief images 2 is ensured. Thus, after removing the 5Q of the agent, the relief images 2 are visible, thus facilitating the process. of slicing

2149 UI cheese pieces.

The cases of yellow cheese production are similar, as the use of a means for applying embossed images, made with canvas 1 of plastic or textile mesh, allows the printing of embossed images 2 not only on top but also on the side of the yellow cheese pie. made as a plastic or metal strip, it is also placed on the side of the vessels forming the yellow cheese pie.

In the case of meat food products, it is appropriate to use a means for applying embossed images, filled with canvas 1 of plastic mesh or textile mesh, as meat products are arranged on a desktop at a certain stage of the technological process of their production. While they are still soft, the tool is placed on them, and on it - increasing weights. In this way, after removing the tool, the relief images 2 are seen clearly and well printed.

It is possible to use the utility model, in which the tool is placed on the desktop and at a certain stage of the technological process of production, meat products are arranged on it, and on them - increasing weights.

In the production of meat products in metal forms, such as ham, it is possible to print embossed images not only from below and above, but also from the side, for which purpose the means for applying embossed images is made as a tape and placed laterally in the compression mold.

Similarly, the use of the means for applying embossed images, when the canvas 1 is made as a plate of plastic, or rubber, or metal.
