Device to facilitate manufacture and for packaging cream cakes, in particular ice cream cakes.

The innovation relates to a device to facilitate the production and at the same time for the packaging of an optionally solidified Cream cake, preferably ice cream cake. With this purpose, flat boxes "shaped open at the top and with a loosely attached" "Baren lids provided vessels known.

Conventional production of cream cakes takes place in the course of a cycle line, with the components the forte is placed in layers in one or more flat, halo-shaped auxiliary forms »then garnished and finally placed on a plate. After a variety is sold, a special one becomes Container needed for packaging.

The Heuerunjg pursues the purpose of Heratellver ~ drive au facilitate and simplify. The reason·** Another idea of the solution consists in the container, i.e. the Porm in which the l'orte is made,

designed in such a way that they serve up to the consumer's table in the fler forming The container remains, aljo at the same time the packaging means formed

The invention also pursues the purpose of manufacturing and packaging Design the vessel or the container so that the cake piece by piece without special tools can be taken out of the mold.

Previously known containers for the production of cream cake are unsatisfactory because they are insufficient can be used for the packaging of the products, the cakes are manufactured in cycles on a flow production line. It is one relatively large number of manipulations required, and it is unavoidable that the half-finished cakes by unintentional pressure or by Bumps during further transport from one production cycle suffer damage to the next and eventual packaging. It is necessary that the pies in the intermediate stages are shielded from pressure or impact during the division, so that the semi-finished products just as the finished product is adequately protected

At the same time, it is required that the Foria used in manufacture or the molded parts after completion of the manufacturing process can remain on the finished variety as packaging. This will be a corresponding cheap and easy to use, as well as an insensitive to temperature difference

pack achieves that the semi-finished or finished cake is made and hygienically flawless transported, frozen and / or warmed up a little before consumption and removed from the mold can,

According to the innovation, it becomes more pressure-sensitive to facilitate manufacture and transport Cream pies use a thin-walled flat shape with a flat bottom "which, after introducing the if necessary different cake layers remains on the cake as packaging material, so that damage is caused on the whole relatively cumbersome production route (Pliesa production line) from Filling in the first layer of cake until the finished cake arrives on the consumer's table is practically impossible.

When using the method divisible containers are used, which consist of a flat bottom and a removable edge part that is easily detachable and liquid-tight connected to the bottom of the mold «

The edge part representing the side wall of the container consists of an easily bendable solid material and is only provided with a parting line on one side of the container, which is sealed by means of an overlap, the parting line being covered and overlapping on the outside by means of a special, easily detachable lock Ends of the side wall are held together »

In a further development of the innovation, the container has a body which divides the cake thin dividers reaching down to the bottom of the cake

assigned to walls. Furthermore, an easily removable hollow cover is provided to prevent any damage excludes the garnish layer of the cake. the The cake remains in the container until it is consumed, i.e. until the cake is on the table of the consumer.

The device according to the innovation thus consists of a multi-part expediently made of plastic 3? Orm. This shape can be circular, so it can correspond to the usual cake shape also have a shape deviating from the circular shape, so that, for example, also rectangular cakes made of ice cream with it, stored and can be transported.

According to the innovation, the container that holds the cake base consists of a flat, disc-shaped base and a collar-shaped edge that can be attached to this base the parting line can be fixed on the flat bottom, the edge of the flat bottom fittingly engaging in a circumferential edge groove of the container disk wall, that is to say of the collar ₀

The thus the lower part of a box-shaped The container forming part of the bottom with a circumferential side wall has a top into the Container insertable insert body provided with partition walls in a predetermined arrangement for dividing of the container contents. The partition walls of the insert body forming a structural unit have on their underside possibly cutting edges, so that

through it. The cold already hardened somewhat Cakes and also thin layers of pastry inside the cake can be easily severed can.

According to the innovation, a guide pin is provided in the middle of the glass for a circular cake, which has the effect that the insert body having the partition walls is evenly subdivided of the cake body filled in one or more layers immediately fits exactly, i.e. in the middle a / uf the circular lower part of the container can be placed and pressed in, the ends of the Partitions of the insert body are guided on the inside of the removable edge part.

In the case of a circular cake, the insert consists of a system of doho radially extending partitions that So cut off segment-shaped pieces of cake when pushing into the finished cake. The dividing wall edges of the insert body will fit exactly to the inner wall of the container on the circumference of this body on the one hand and also exactly fitting on the mentioned centrally arranged pin on the other hand guided.

After filling the one or more layers of the Lower part of the cake packing and afterwards the insertion of the insert body having the partition walls, the cake fields are garnished. For machine garnishing, the insert is designed so that the pack is in connection with a stepping mechanism and a turntable serving as a support at predetermined

Place into place so that the garnish can be individually applied to each section in just one operation can be carried out".

In a further development of the innovation, there is at least one pin arranged centrally in the bottom of the pack conically shaped on the outside, so that it tapers on the outside towards its upper free end »On this Pin fits a likewise conical »thin-walled tube on which the dividing walls of the insert body are connected.

TJm now to achieve that single garnished pieces of cream cake can be removed from the mold, it is necessary that the adhesion of ice cream both on the partitions between the individual pieces of cake and on the bottom of the vessel is reliably avoided when removing. It is not known that this can be avoided by that the mold is briefly warmed up from the outside. This detaches an adhesive layer, e.g. Legs Cream layer from the surrounding walls.

According to the innovation, this is achieved by placing small feet as spacers on the bottom of the vessel there and further by the fact that the conical pin or pins mentioned on which the insert body is placed, executes hollow, so that from the underside of the container bottom through the pin air circulation through it with the container cover removed 1 arises. The container, which is open at the top, is assigned a hollow lid that can be attached Protects garnish from pressure or contamination.

The lid has on its upper side wells or approaches that with the mentioned Feet on the bottom of the container cooperate in such a way that the stacking of several of the same size and containers of the same shape are possible, the containers not shifting sideways and are thus interlocked with one another ο The recess mentioned on the top of the lid can also to simplify the manufacture of the cover consist of a circumferential groove into which the Engage the feet of another container of the same shape and size. The groove is also used for stiffening of the thin-walled lid ",

In this way it is achieved that warm room air or specially preheated air from the side after removing the lid, i.e. immediately before consumption, get under the bottom of the container and can circulate through the pin or pins. This is achieved by simple means that the Loosen the cream cake from the inner walls of the mold. Even if the whole cake is out of the container base should not be removed, but only individual pieces of cake, it is at least useful in this way a detachment of the cream layer lying on the mold walls by the influence of warm air enable.

For the production of cubic or rectangular Pieces of cake must be divided accordingly in the container insert. This is always necessary if the cake was made as a so-called tree trunk cake and if the cake was one of

has a shape deviating from the circular shape. In such a case, it is advisable to use at least two conical ones To arrange tenons

An embodiment of the multi-part circular packaging and molded body, the relief for the production of cream cake, preferably ice cream cake, is used and so at the same time under Remaining on the finished cake as a packaging means is described below. Of the The container is made entirely of plastic. Also the insert piece having radial partitions is made entirely of plastic. Such individual plastic parts can be manufactured relatively cheaply. They are completely impermeable and can be cleaned very easily. They are also chemically compatible with the contents of the container, and they can also tolerate very different temperatures without affecting any To be exposed to changes in shape «.

The innovation is described below using an exemplary embodiment:

Figure 2 shows the container according to Figure 1 in plan view?

Figure 3 shows the container lid in vertical section

FIG. 4 shows, in vertical section, an insert body provided with radial partition walls for Use in circular containers?

Figure 5 shows a bottom and removable one

Side wall "existing container base.

On the flat, thin-walled but sufficiently stiff Container bottom 1, which has an upright hollow, slightly conical pin 3 and in the middle the underside has small feet 2, the collar-shaped side wall 4 which is divided on one side is sealed the parting lines easily detachable, i.e. fastened detachably.

This side wall 4 has in the vicinity of its lower edge on its inner surface a umla, ufende hat 7, into which the edge of the container bottom 1 engages, The vertical parting line 5 of the removable side wall 4 is covered with a tab 8 and the two ends of the side wall are attached to one another with an easily releasable lock 6 that acts like a push button set. The parts that make up the push button are crafted from the craft material and are held in the closed position by means of material springs.

The insert body provided with partitions 9 in a spoke arrangement has a little in the middle conical or at least cylindrical sleeve-shaped hub or tube 10 which fits onto the tube 3 of the Container bottom can be placed.

The attachable Eühldeckel 11, which extends over the edge part 4 from the outside, has uniformly on its Perimeter distributed projections 12 as a spacer. When the Dec3 "oil is closed, you support yourself against the upper edge of the side wall 4 so that the hollow cover always has a sufficient distance from the garnish layer the cake has.

At the top "of the cover 11 has a circumferential Edge 13 for securing the position of the feet 2 of the container bottom when stacking the same size and container of the same shape. - A stacking is z. B. to save space with temporary Accommodation in refrigerators, freezers or the like expedient.

Me the central guide serving tubes 3 and tubular pins 10 can in principle also have a cylindrical shape. A slightly conical shape makes it easier to put on the insert, without affecting the center guide, especially since the free ends of the partition walls also fit be guided on the inner surfaces of the removable container wall.
