Abstract

Storage container for the targeted ripening of fruit or vegetables by using ethylene-exuding fruits in common household amounts, which is collapsible. Consisting of body (1), intermediate bottom (6) lid and bottom (11), characterized in that the individual components by slot and tab connections are collapsible and disassembled (1-4).

Description

For fruit and vegetable containers of conventional design for normal household quantities, the targeted forwarding of the naturally occurring ripening gas "ethylene" from fruits is not possible. A targeted ripening of fruit or vegetables is difficult. In fruit and vegetable containers of conventional design, the mixed storage of fruit or vegetables direct contact with each other is inevitable resulting in the fruit spoil faster.

Commercially available containers can not be used for the separate storage of various types of fruit or vegetables and the targeted forwarding of the ripening gas from ethylene-exuding fruits to the nachzurifenden fruits. The mixed stored fruit or vegetables in these containers go through the direct surface contact faster in a decay process.

These problems are solved with the features listed in the protection claim.

With the invention it is achieved that fruits or vegetables to be ripened do not have any surface contact with one another, as a result of which a putrefaction process can not start so quickly. Fruit or vegetables can be stored compactly and separately. Ripening (ethylene) secreting fruits are stored in the lower compartment of the container. The seeping maturity gas ethylene is lighter than air and is passed through the slotted and / or perforated intermediate floor targeted to the nachzufifenden fruits in the upper compartment. Thus, a controlled and faster natural Nachreifung of fruits and vegetables can be achieved.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 to 4 explained. Show it:

1 respectively. 5 Container not assembled

2 respectively. 6 Container assembled

3 respectively. 7 Container with lid and bottom removed

4 respectively. 8th Interior of container

In the figures is the container with body 1 , Lid 11 , Ground 11 and slotted / perforated intermediate floor 6 shown. The body 1 is at the Faltkannte ( 12 ) and through the splices 10 to fix. In the case 1 - 4 becomes the intermediate floor 6 when assembling at the folding edge ( 12 ) folded up and with his tabs 8th in the slots 9 attached. In the case 5 - 8th becomes the intermediate floor 6 when assembling at the fold edge ( 12 ) lolled. The stabilization soil ( 13 ) is at the folding edge ( 12 ) folded down. The lid 12 or soil 12 (identical) is also at the folding edges ( 12 ) foldable. The sides are at the splices ( 10 ) glued to ensure the necessary stability. The body 1 gets into the ground 12 put and with the lid 12 covered ( 2 / 6 ).
