Description

concerning tray for packaging meat and the like.

The invention relates to a food container or food container provided with openings in its bottom Tray and more particularly relates to a container for packaging meat, poultry and fish in conjunction with one the packaging material covering film made of plastic, the bottom of the container having a larger number of open windows having.

Food trays formed from paper stock or the like have been used in the food packaging industry for many years with good success for packaging Meat, fish and poultry are used. Such bowls can be produced at low cost, so that it is useful for the consumer There is little effort involved, and they offer additional benefits in that they are clean, sturdy, and safe are such that they are biodegradable so that they are minimally susceptible to solid pollution Give rise to substances, and as they suck up liquids and juices, which are exuded from meat, fish or poultry. (Despite the great advantages of paper pulp Shaped bowls have recently been made of clear bowls

Plastic offered, the advantage of which is to be that the packaged goods are visible to the consumer; The disadvantages of these trays made of clear plastic, however, are lower strength, increased production costs, the fact that they are made of a non-biodegradable material and that liquids exuded from the packaged meat, fish or poultry collect in the form of puddles, which not only discoloration of the packaged product is effected, but making the whole Fackung becomes opaque so that the fiiehfbarkeit of the packaged product to the consumer, which is called the advantage of such shells, made of clear plastic ₉ lost "

The invention is now based on the object that Cons so, avoid the sick with the "hitherto known" Shells formed from paper stock or the like result in Furthermore, the invention sees aag © la © made of paper stock or the like shaped tray for packing meat, fish and poultry, although made of an opaque material However, if the packaged goods remain visible to a high degree, the invention also provides a bowl of the type mentioned before, which allows meat, fish and poultry to be clean, safe and convenient way to pack

The invention and advantageous details of the invention are illustrated below with reference to schematic drawings explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments.

Fig. 5 is a reduced perspective view the shell after Pig. 5 and shows the inner shape of this shell.

In Pig. 1 ″ to 3 can be seen a total of 10 designated Food tray for packaging meat, fish or poultry in connection with a wrapping film made of a plastic or of heat-sealable cellophane. The N-. hrmittelschale 10 is in the usual way with four upwardly and outwardly inclined side walls 12, 14, 16 and 18, and these side walls si & d through, respectively rounded sections 20 connected to one another. All side walls and the rounded intermediate sections connecting them are provided with a downwardly and outwardly inclined bead or flange 22 on their upper edge

The tray 10 does not have the flat bottom that has been customary up to now, but is provided with several tips 24, which extend between the lower bands of the wall sections 14 and 18, and with a plurality of ribs 26 which extend at right angles to the ribs 24 between the side walls 12 and 16. According to FIGS. 1 and 3, these have ribs an inverted V-shaped cross-sectional shape, and the top The edges of the ribs form the apex of the V-shape Bottom of the bowl. On each side wall, the lower surfaces 25 of the V-shaped ribs 24 and 26 terminate near the lower ones Edges 21 of the side walls. It can thus be seen that the side walls are in one plane at their lower edges

end, which is also through the lower surfaces of the reverse V-shaped kin extends, as is best in Pig. 1 can be seen, so that the actual bottom of the Sehale, on which the meat, fish or poultry rests, in a certain height above the lower level at which the side walls end.

Since the meat or the fish or the poultry are placed on the apex portions of the inverted V-shaped ribs 24 and 26 rests, it lies on the hsud that the bottom of the bowl supports the packaged goods at several contact lines, which together form a minimal contact area. If that Meat or fish or poultry is packaged in the tray 10, and when the tray is packed together with its contents with a heat-sealed envelope made of a plastic film or gellophane, the top of the pack allows the packaged food to be placed in the usual Way to look at. If you turn the bowl over, is a proportion of etru 90 ^ to 95% of the underside of the packaged goods also visible through the separate windows delimited by the intersecting ribs 24 and 26 are. Viewing the underside of the packaged goods is made easier if the pack is tilted and through the Window parallel to the walls of the Eippen.

The main feature of the invention is that the intersecting ribs 24 and 26 have an inverted V-shaped cross-section. This V-shape not only ensures a maximum strength, a U _m fall of the side walls inwardly prevented when an envelope is firmly wound around the package, but the reverse V-shape of the Eippen makes the packaged product, as mentioned, through the open Windows are maximally visible therethrough, and the ribs of the present invention have the added benefit of having nested shells after shipping

and allow them to be easily separated from each other before filling and making complete packs. If the shell is made of paper pulp or the like, as is preferred in practice, the material can also be exuded Soak up liquids and prevent these liquids from getting Form puddles that impair the visibility of the contents of the pack as well as the shelf life of the packaged goods.

In FIGS. 4 to 6 there is a further embodiment, denoted as a whole by 100, of a shell according to the invention shown. Just as the shell 10 comprises 1 to 3 according to i'ig the shell 100 has four side walls 120, 140, 160 and 180, a flange 220 extending along the top band and bottom-forming ribs 240 and 260 of inverted V-shaped cross-section intersecting at right angles, so that they delimit rectangular windows. However, the shell 100 differs from the shell 10 in that the lower edges of the side walls are not level with the lower edges of the inverted V-shaped ribs 240 and 260, but at the same height as the upper edges of the ribs. Thus, according to FIG. 4, the side wall 180 ends at one Lower edge 181, which lies in a plane which is the vertex which contains inverted V-shaped ribs. It can accordingly be seen that the lower edge 141 of the side wall 140 and the lower edge 121 of the side wall 120 also in the mentioned level. To support the ribs 240 and 260, the side walls are provided with downwardly projecting sections 122, 142, 162 and 192 ·

If, for example, eggs are to be packed, for what purpose both containers with an opaque top and with transparent top were created to meet the needs of consumers, offer the invention, Liahrmittelschalen optionally the desired visibility of the packaged goods, but with many of the advantages

109883/1089

sets up the conventional massive retained made of paper material or the like molded food container. Since trays are now available in which the underside of the packaged goods is also visible, the user has the choice of using trays with an opaque bottom or trays with bottom openings in order to optimally pack the food product that comes into contact with each other «
