Abstract

A package tray serves to store liquid-containing food products, such as meat. The tray is made of e.g. sheeting and has a storage space which - seen in the normal position of rest of the tray - is downwardly defined by a base (11) and by upright side walls (10) along the sides. The base is formed with a plurality of ridges (17) having upwardly converging walls. In a zone of the base (11) between the side walls (10) and a predetermined central area (2) the height of the ridges (17) increases successively with the distance from the side walls (10), and the base (11) in this zone slopes downwards and inwards toward the central area (2). Exuding liquid, e.g. blood and tissue fluids from meat, runs to this central area (2) where it will be concealed to the buying public. The collected liquid in the central area (2) is kept spaced from the packaged food products by means of the ridges (17) in the area. Therefore, a packaged food product exuding liquid can be kept dry in the package tray even when stored for an extended period of time in e.g. a refrigerated display case, while the food product generally makes an aesthetic and hygenic impression on the customers.

Description

i DK 169173 B1in DK 169173 B1

Opfindelsen angår en emballagebakke til væskeholdige fødevarer, såsom kød, og som er fremstillet af eksempelvis folie og har et opbevaringsrum, der - set i bakkens normale hvilestilling - nedadtil afgrænses af en bund og 5 langs siderne af oprette sidevægge, hvorved der i bunden er udformet en antal forhøjninger med opefter konvergerende vægge.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a packaging tray for liquid foods, such as meat, which is made of, for example, foil and has a storage compartment which - as seen in the normal resting position of the tray - is lowered downwards by a bottom and 5 along the sides of erect sidewalls, thereby forming the bottom a number of elevations with upwardly converging walls.

Sådanne bakker anvendes i dag i meget stort antal til di-10 stribution af salgsklare fødevarestykker, der lægges i bakkerne, som almindeligvis dernæst overtrækkes med tynd, gennemsigtig plastfolie, der tillader kunderne at besigtige den respektive vare. På denne måde kan fødevarerne udstilles frit tilgængelige i detailleddets kølemontre, 15 hvorfra kunderne efter selvbetjeningsprincippet da hver især kan udsøge sig den vare, som falder bedst i deres smag.Such trays are currently used in very large numbers for the distribution of ready-to-eat food pieces placed in the trays, which are usually then coated with thin, transparent plastic foil allowing customers to view the respective product. In this way, the food can be freely displayed in the retailer's refrigeration booths, 15 from which the customers can, according to the principle of self-service, each can choose the product that suits their taste best.

Det siger sig selv, at udseendet herunder spiller en af-20 gørende rolle. Eksempelvis fersk kød er imidlertid under opholdet i disse kølemontrer tilbøjeligt til at afgive blod og andre vævsvæsker, som kødet dernæst ved konventionelle bakker står delvist neddykket i. Dette virker uæstetisk og uhygiejnisk på kunderne og er senere til al-25 vorlig gene for konsumenten, når denne pakker det drivende våde kød ud, idet konsumenten og omgivelserne herunder nemt forurenes af det dryppende blod. Hertil kommer, at den del af kødet, som i længere tid har været nedsænket i blod og vævsvæsker, kan undergå ændringer, som forringer 30 kødets kvalitet og holdbarhed. Det har eksempelvis vist sig, at de berørte områder af kødet kan være arnested for en hastigt voksende bakterieflora.It goes without saying that the look below plays a decisive role. For example, during their stay in these cooling stands, for example, fresh meat tends to dispense blood and other tissue fluids in which the meat is then partially submerged by conventional trays. this unpacks the drifting wet meat, as the consumer and the surrounding area are easily contaminated by the dripping blood. In addition, the portion of the meat, which has been immersed in blood and tissue fluids for a long time, may undergo changes that impair the quality and durability of the meat. For example, it has been found that the affected areas of the meat may be the hotbed of a rapidly growing bacterial flora.

Ovennævnte problemer er søgt løst ved hjælp af en bakke, 35 som er beskrevet i GB patent nr. 813 415. Denne bakke er i bunden forsynet med smalle render til at lede saften til nogle opsamlingslommer, men mellem renderne er der 2 DK 169173 B1 imidlertid forholdsvis store, plane flader, hvor blodet og vævsvæskerne bliver liggende på grund af hårkarseffekten. Denne konstruktion kan derfor ikke effektivt bort-dræne de udsivende safter fra kødet. Bakken er i øvrigt 5 fremstillet af presset cellulosepulp, der er tilbøjelig til at opsuge kødsaft og i struktur og farve ikke er præsentabel som emballage.The above problems have been solved by means of a tray 35 described in GB Patent No. 813 415. This tray is provided at the bottom with narrow grooves to guide the juice to some collection pockets, but between the grooves there are 2 DK 169173 B1, however. relatively large, planar surfaces where the blood and tissue fluids lie down due to the vascular effect. This construction, therefore, cannot effectively drain the leaking juices from the meat. Incidentally, the tray 5 is made of pressed cellulose pulp, which tends to absorb meat juices and is not presentable in packaging and in color.

Fra GB patent nr. 974 180 kendes en tyndvægget bakke af 10 termoplast med langs- og tværgående ribber i bunden. Ribbernes afstand fra bakkens åbning bliver mindre med afstanden fra sidekanterne, og der dannes derfor et fald ud mod disse i mellemrummene mellem ribberne. Dette medfører, at kødsafterne ledes ud til bakkens kantområde, hvor 15 saften tydeligt kan ses udefra.GB patent No. 974 180 discloses a thin-walled tray of 10 thermoplastics with longitudinal and transverse ribs at the bottom. The distance of the ribs from the opening of the tray decreases with the distance from the side edges, and therefore a decrease is formed against these in the spaces between the ribs. This causes the meat juices to be led out to the edge area of the tray where the juice can be clearly seen from the outside.

I GB patent nr. 1 527 212 beskrives en emballagebakke til opbevaring af pølser. I dette tilfælde har bakken en plan bund, hvori der er udformet rækker af ensartede, pyrami-20 deformede forhøjninger, som er dimensioneret således, at en pølse kan ligge mellem to rækker. Formålet med denne konstruktion er at opnå luftcirkulation omkring pølserne, mens den plane bund ikke levner eventuel kødsaft mulighed for at blive ledt bort til et ikke synligt sted, ligesom 25 den store afstand mellem forhøjningerne ikke sikrer adskillelse mellem en eventuelt kødvare og kødsaften.GB Patent No. 1,527,212 describes a packaging tray for storing sausages. In this case, the tray has a flat bottom in which rows of uniform, pyramidal shaped elevations are formed which are dimensioned so that a sausage can lie between two rows. The purpose of this construction is to achieve air circulation around the sausages, while the flat bottom does not allow any meat juice to be diverted to an invisible place, just as the large distance between the elevations does not ensure separation between any meat product and the meat juice.

Fra GB patent nr. 2 003 836 kendes endvidere en bakke til let fordærvelige fødevarer, som afgiver safter. Bunden 30 består af en plan flade, i hvis midte der er anbragt et forsænket opsamlingsområde. I bunden findes endvidere et antal render, der strækker sig indefter fra kanterne til opsamlingsområdet. Subsidiært kan der anbringes et hygroskopisk materiale i opsamlingsområdet til at opsuge saf-35 terne. På grund af de forholdsvis store, plane flader mellem renderne, vil en del af kødsaften ikke effektivt kunne ledes ned til opsamlingsområdet på grund af hårkar- 3 DK 169173 B1 virkningen. Anvendes et hygroskopisk materiale, som må anbringes i en pose eller under et porøst dække, vil det føre til en væsentlig forøgelse af fremstillingsomkostningerne, og i mangel af et sådant hygroskopisk materia-5 le, vil den emballerede kødvare kunne hænge ned i det forholdsvis store opsamlingsområde med risiko for at komme i berøring med saften.GB Patent No. 2 003 836 also discloses a tray for easily perishable foods which dispense juices. The bottom 30 consists of a flat surface in the center of which is a recessed collecting area. The bottom also has a number of grooves extending inwards from the edges to the collection area. Alternatively, a hygroscopic material may be placed in the collection area to absorb the juices. Due to the relatively large, flat surfaces between the beakers, part of the meat juice will not be able to be effectively directed down to the collection area due to the hair-vascular effect. Using a hygroscopic material which must be placed in a bag or under a porous cover will lead to a substantial increase in manufacturing costs, and in the absence of such hygroscopic material, the packaged meat product may be suspended in the relatively large size. collection area at risk of contact with the juice.

I GB patentskriftet 2 059 920 beskrives desuden en bakke, 10 som i bunden er forsynet med et system af ribber og render, der tjener til at lede udsivende væsker fra den emballerede vare til render eller områder langs sidekanterne, hvor safterne er let synlige for kunderne. Denne bakke har en forholdsvis kraftig konstruktion og er beregnet 15 til transport af kødtærter og kan således ikke betegnes som en egentlig emballagebakke.GB Patent 2,059,920 also discloses a tray 10, which is provided at the bottom with a system of ribs and grooves which serve to direct leaking liquids from the packaged product to the grooves or areas along the side edges, where the juices are easily visible to the customers . This tray has a relatively strong construction and is intended for the transport of meat pies and thus cannot be described as an actual packaging tray.

Fra DK 155 789 kendes endvidere en åben kasse med forholdsvis stor godstykkelse. I bunden findes et antal opad 20 ragende knopper med plan overflade, der samlet danner en mod bundens midte nedad skrånende flade, mens selve bunden danner en mod sidevæggene nedad skrånende flade. I sidevæggene findes desuden huller til udledning af væske, og kassen er især beregnet til transport af fisk. Knop-25 pernes plane oversider danner et forholdsvis stort berøringsareal med varerne.Furthermore, from DK 155 789 an open box of relatively large thickness is known. At the bottom there are a number of upwardly projecting flat surface 20 knobs, which together form a sloping surface towards the center of the bottom, while the bottom itself forms a sloping surface facing the side walls. The side walls also contain holes for the discharge of liquid, and the box is especially intended for transporting fish. The flat upper sides of the bud-25s form a relatively large area of contact with the goods.

En emballage til færdiglavede fødevarer kendes endeligt fra DK fremlæggelsesskrift nr. 113 414. Denne emballage 30 har en beholder med en sektion, som er forsynet med opstående tilspidsede tappe eller pyramider til understøtning af faste fødevarer, f.eks. bønner, således at smør eller anden halvflydende dressing kan indeholdes i den nedre del af beholderen. Når den færdiglavede fødevare 35 distribueres i beholderen, er denne lukket med et låg, der samtidig tjener som serveringsplatte, idet emballagen før åbning vendes, således at indholdet overføres til 4 DK 169173 B1 platten. Denne opfindelse er særligt rettet mod problemet med at stable flere emballager oven på hinanden og er tavs med hensyn til, om låget/platten er gennemsigtig eller ej. Antages det, at platten er gennemsigtig, således 5 at den færdiglavede fødevare kan besigtiges af kunder, vil disse normalt også kunne se eventuel smør eller dressing i mellemrummene mellem tappene eller pyramiderne, medmindre den faste fødevare fylder den pågældende beholdersektion helt ud. Denne synlighed må nærmest betragtes 10 som en fordel, når det drejer sig om smør eller dressing, der netop indgår som en bestanddel af den samlede ret.A packaging for ready-made foods is finally known from DK Publication No. 113 414. This packaging 30 has a container with a section provided with raised tapered pins or pyramids for supporting solid foods, e.g. beans so that butter or other semi-liquid dressing can be contained in the lower portion of the container. When the finished food 35 is distributed in the container, it is closed with a lid which simultaneously serves as a serving plate, with the packaging being opened before opening, so that the contents are transferred to the plate. This invention is particularly directed at the problem of stacking several packages on top of each other and is silent as to whether or not the lid / plate is transparent. Assuming that the plate is transparent so that the finished food can be viewed by customers, these will usually also be able to see any butter or dressing in the spaces between the taps or pyramids, unless the solid food fills the particular container section completely. This visibility must almost be regarded as an advantage when it comes to butter or dressing, which is just as part of the overall dish.

Når det drejer sig om vævsvæsker, såsom blod, der ønskes skjult for kunden, kan denne emballage derimod ikke anvendes, da disse uæstetisk udseende væsker vil være syn-15 lige. Beholderen har nemlig ingen midler til at lede væsken i skjul under den faste fødevare.In contrast, in the case of tissue fluids, such as blood that is desired to be hidden from the customer, this packaging cannot be used, as these aesthetic-looking fluids will be visible. Namely, the container has no means of concealing the liquid under the solid food.

Formålet med opfindelsen er at anvise en emballagebakke af den indledningsvis nævnte art, som med en enkel kon-20 struktion kan fremstilles med små omkostninger, og som bedre end hidtil kendt er i stand til effektivt at separere den emballerede fødevare fra udsivende væsker og bringe disse ud af syne under opbevaringen.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to provide a packaging tray of the kind mentioned at the outset which can be manufactured at a low cost with a simple construction and which is better than hitherto known to be able to effectively separate the packaged food from leaking liquids and bring these out of sight during storage.

25 Det nye og særegne hvorved dette opnås ifølge opfindelsen består i at bunden mellem sidevæggene og et forudbestemt midterområde har en zone, hvor forhøjningernes højde successivt vokser med afstanden fra sidevæggene, og at bun- ! . i den i denne zone hælder skråt ned- og indefter mod mid-30 terområdet. Udsivende safter, f.eks. blod og vævsvæsker fra kød vil løbe ned af de skrå dele af bundfladen mod midterområdet, som normalt vil være helt dækket af fødevaren. Safterne kan derfor ikke ses udefra og kommer heller ikke i berøring med fødevaren på grund af den særligt 35 store højde, som forhøjningerne har i midterområdet. For de fleste fødevarers vedkommende vil det være fordelagtigt, når forhøjningerne i dette midterområde alle har 5 DK 169173 B1 samme højde.The new and unique feature of this invention is that the bottom between the side walls and a predetermined center region has a zone where the height of the elevations gradually increases with the distance from the side walls and that the floor . in it in this zone slopes downwards and inwards towards the mid-range. Leaking juices, e.g. blood and tissue fluids from meat will run down the sloping parts of the bottom surface towards the middle area, which will usually be completely covered by the food. The juices are therefore not visible from the outside and do not come into contact with the food because of the particularly high height that the elevations have in the middle area. For most foods, it will be advantageous when the elevations in this middle region all have the same height.

Ved en særlig fordelagtig udførelsesform kan emballagebakken have et skørt, som strækker sig nedefter på yder-5 siden af sidevæggene fra disses øvre rand. Når skørtets højde er større end sidevæggenes, vil skørtet da fungere som en fod, hvorpå bakken kan stå i hvilestillingen. Med passende valg af skørtets højde kan bakken foruden med foden også støtte med midterområdet mod et horisontalt 10 underlag, når bakken er fyldt og befinder sig i hviletilstand .In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the packaging tray may have a skirt extending downwardly on the outer side of the side walls from its upper edge. When the height of the skirt is greater than that of the sidewalls, the skirt will then act as a foot on which the tray can stand in the resting position. With appropriate selection of the height of the skirt, in addition to the foot, the tray can also support the center area against a horizontal surface when the tray is full and in a resting state.

Forhøjningerne kan have form som kegler eller keglestubbe med afrundede toppe, og for at undgå, at den emballerede 15 fødevares overflade perforeres af disse toppe kan hver tops areal være bestemt af, at overfladetrykket mellem toppen og den fødevaredel, som under brug hviler på toppen, er lidt mindre end det tryk, som fødevarens overflade kan tåle uden at blive gennembrudt.The elevations may take the form of cones or cones with rounded tops, and to prevent the surface of the packaged food from perforating these peaks, the area of each top may be determined by the surface pressure between the top and the food portion resting on the top during use. is slightly less than the pressure that the surface of the food can withstand without being pierced.

Opfindelsen forklares nærmere nedenfor, idet der beskrives alene eksempelvise udførelsesformer under henvisning til tegningen, hvor 25 fig. la viser, set i perspektiv, en første udførelsesform for emballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen, fig. Ib samme set fra oven, 30 fig. 1c samme set i snit, fig. 2a en anden udførelsesform for emballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen set fra oven, 35 fig. 2b samme set fra oven, 6 DK 169173 B1 fig. 3a set i perspektiv en tredie udførelsesform for emballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen, fig. 3b samme fra oven, 5 fig. 3c samme set i snit på langs af bakken, fig. 3d samme set i et snit på tværs af bakken, 10 fig. 4a en fjerde udførelsesform for emballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen, set fra oven, fig. 4b samme set i snit på langs af bakken, 15 fig. 4c samme set i snit på tværs af bakken, fig. 5a en femte udførelsesform for emballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen i ubelastet tilstand, og 20 fig. 5b samme, men under belastning af en fødevare.The invention is further explained below, by way of example only, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1a is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the packaging tray according to the invention; 1b, same view from above, FIG. 1c shows the same in section, fig. 2a is a top plan view of another embodiment of the packaging tray according to the invention; FIG. 2b the same from above; FIG. 3a is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the packaging tray according to the invention; 3b same from above; FIG. Fig. 3c is a sectional view taken longitudinally of the tray; 3d, the same seen in a cross-sectional view, FIG. 4a is a top plan view of a fourth embodiment of the packaging tray according to the invention; 4b is a sectional view taken longitudinally of the tray; FIG. 4c is a cross-sectional view of the tray; 5a shows a fifth embodiment of the packaging tray according to the invention in an unloaded condition; 5b the same, but under the strain of a food.

Ved den i fig. la-lc viste første udførelsesform for emballagebakken er denne tænkt fremstillet af vakuumformet termoplastfolie, som eventuelt kan bestå af et laminat. I 25 dette tilfælde er bakken ligesidet og har sidevægge 10, der fra en bund 11 strækker sig op til en ombukket rand 12. Fra denne rand 12 strækker et skørt 14 sig nedefter over en afstand, som er lidt længere end sidevæggenes højde. Derved kommer skørtets nedre kant 15 til at funge-30 re som en fod for bakken. Skørtets kant kan være lige afskåret eller som vist være forsynet med en relativ smal, udadrettet flig til at afstive svøbet og danne en passende bæreflade for emballagebakken.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1a-1c, the first embodiment of the packaging tray is intended to be made of vacuum-shaped thermoplastic film, which may consist of a laminate. In this case, the tray is equilateral and has sidewalls 10 extending from a bottom 11 up to a folded rim 12. From this rim 12, a skirt 14 extends downward over a distance which is slightly longer than the height of the sidewalls. Thereby the lower edge 15 of the skirt will act as a foot for the ground. The edge of the skirt may be straight cut or, as shown, provided with a relatively narrow, outwardly directed tab for stiffening the scoop and forming a suitable carrier surface for the packaging tray.

35 Langs hele bunden er der udformet et antal opadvendende pyramider 17, som hver har en kvadratisk fod 18 og en forholdsvis spids top 19. Disse toppe er anbragt med ind- 7 DK 169173 B1 byrdes ækvidistante afstande og er så spidse, at de danner mindst mulig berøringsareal med den fødevare, som de bærer. Toppene må dog ikke være så spidse, at fødevaren lider skade ved, at dens overflade perforeres. Dette op-5 nås ved at dimensionere hver top med et areal, som netop er så stort, at overfladetrykket mellem den respektive top og fødevaren bliver lidt mindre end det tryk, som fødevarens overflade kan tåle uden at blive gennembrudt.35 Along the entire bottom there are formed a number of upwardly facing pyramids 17, each having a square foot 18 and a relatively pointed top 19. These peaks are arranged at equidistant distances and are so pointed that they form at least possible touch area with the food they carry. However, the peaks must not be so pointed that the food suffers damage by perforating its surface. This is achieved by sizing each top with an area just so large that the surface pressure between the respective top and the food becomes slightly less than the pressure that the food surface can withstand without being pierced.

10 Som det ses især af fig. lc vokser pyramidernes højde successivt med afstanden fra sidevæggene 10. I det viste tilfælde er bakken tom. En flade, som indeholder toppene 19 skråner opad mod et midtpunkt 2 i bakken, samtidig med at selve bunden skråner nedad mod dette midtpunkt. Under-15 siden 4 af midtpunktet hviler mod et plant underlag 6 sammen med kanten 15.10 As seen especially in FIG. lc, the height of the pyramids increases successively with the distance from the side walls 10. In the case shown, the tray is empty. A surface containing the peaks 19 slopes upwards toward a center point 2 of the ground, while the bottom itself slopes downwards towards this center point. The under-15 side 4 of the center point rests against a flat surface 6 along with the edge 15.

Emballagebakken kan alternativt være udformet således, at undersiden 4 i bakkens ubelastede tilstand er hævet et 20 lille stykke, f.eks. 1-2 mm i forhold til den i fig. lc viste udførelsesform. Når bakken fyldes med fødevarer, vil vægten af disse trykke undersiden 4 ned til anlæg mod underlaget 6 og således sammen med kanten 15 overføre vægten til dette underlag.Alternatively, the packaging tray may be designed such that the underside 4 in the unstressed condition of the tray is raised a small portion, e.g. 1-2 mm relative to the one shown in FIG. 1c. When the tray is filled with food, the weight of these will push the underside 4 down against abutment 6 and thus, along with the edge 15, transfer the weight to this substrate.

Ved den i fig. 2a og 2b viste anden ud førelses form for emballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen er forhøjningerne 20 kegleformede med afrundede toppe 21. Konstruktionen svarer iøvrigt til den i fig. la, b og c viste første 30 udførelsesform, idet hver kegle har en fod 22 og toppene 21's højde vokser successivt med afstanden fra sidevæggene til et midtpunkt 2. Selve bunden danner her en flade 23, som kan være sammenhængende eller delt op i adskilte områder, når keglernes fødder 22 støder op mod hinanden.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2a and 2b, the second embodiment of the packaging tray according to the invention, the elevations 20 are cone-shaped with rounded tops 21. The construction is similar to that of FIG. 1a, b and c showed the first embodiment, each cone having a foot 22 and the height of the peaks 21 successively increasing with the distance from the side walls to a center point 2. The bottom here forms a surface 23 which can be continuous or divided into separate areas. when the feet 22 of the cones abut each other.

35 Denne udførelsesform har den fordel, at den er let at fremstille, og at der i forhold til den første udførelsesform bliver mere plads til opsamling af væske mellem DK 169173 Bl 8 keglerne omkring midtpunktet: 2.This embodiment has the advantage that it is easy to manufacture and that, relative to the first embodiment, there is more space for collecting liquid between the cones around the midpoint: 2.

I mange tilfælde foretrækkes rektangulære emballagebakker i stedet for ovennævnte ligesidede emballagebakker. Fig.In many cases, rectangular packaging trays are preferred instead of the above equilateral packaging trays. FIG.

5 3a-3d viser således en rektangulær emballagebakke, der svarer til den i fig. la-lc viste bakke, bortset fra at dens sider ikke er lige lange. Tilsvarende viser fig. 4a-4c en rektangulær emballagebakke, der svarer til den i fig. 2a-2b viste emballagebakke. Da de rektangulære bak-10 ker ikke har lige lange sider, kan der i stedet for et midtpunkt i bundene, henholdsvis 30 og 40 være et egentligt midterområde 3, hvori der i bakkens længderetning findes en række forhøjninger 31, 41 med lige stor højde.5a-3d thus show a rectangular packaging tray similar to the one shown in FIG. la-lc showed tray, except that its sides are not equal in length. Similarly, FIG. 4a-4c are a rectangular packaging tray similar to that of FIG. 2a-2b. Since the rectangular trays do not have equal lengths, instead of a center point at the bottoms, 30 and 40, respectively, there may be an actual center region 3, in which, in the longitudinal direction of the tray, there are a number of elevations 31, 41 of equal height.

Hver række strækker sig på tværs af længderetningen, og 15 ved en bestemt variation af denne udførelsesform findes der blot én sådan række.Each row extends across the longitudinal direction, and in a certain variation of this embodiment there is only one such row.

1 den i fig. 5a og 5b viste femte udførelsesform for emballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen er bakkens bund 50 ud- 20 formet således, at den i ubelastet tilstand (fig. 5a) er plan og har forhøjninger 52, hvis højde vokser successivt ind mod midten 2. Forhøjningerne 52 er anbragt med så stor indbyrdes afstand, at mellemrummene mellem dem danner et reservoir, som har en betydelig kapacitet til op-25 samling af udsivende væske fra den emballerede væske. I fig. 5b er denne vare 54 nu lagt oven på forhøjningerne 52. Som det ses, tvinger varens 54 vægt nu bakkens midte 2 ned til berøring med underlaget 6. En flade, der indeholder forhøjningerne 52's toppe er i hovedsagen plan, og 30 midt under fødevaren danner bunden et stort reservoir til optagelse af udsivende væske, som ikke kan komme i berøring med fødevaren og ikke kan ses udefra.1 shows the one in FIG. 5a and 5b, the fifth embodiment of the packaging tray according to the invention, the bottom 50 of the tray is designed so that it is flat and unloaded (Fig. 5a) and has elevations 52, the height of which increases successively towards the center 2. The elevations 52 are arranged with such a mutual spacing that the spaces between them form a reservoir which has a considerable capacity to collect leaking liquid from the packaged liquid. In FIG. 5b, this product 54 is now placed on top of the elevations 52. As can be seen, the weight of the product 54 now forces the center 2 of the tray down to contact with the substrate 6. A surface containing the tops of the elevations 52 is substantially planar and 30 in the middle of the food forms bottom is a large reservoir for absorbing leaking liquid that cannot come into contact with the food and cannot be seen from outside.

Samtlige af de ovenfor beskrevne udførelsesformer for em-35 ballagebakken ifølge opfindelsen har den fordel, at udsivende væske fra den emballerede fødevare opsamles i et veldefineret midterområde, hvor væsken ikke er synlig 9 DK 169173 B1 udefra, og som let kan rumme så megen væske, at denne med sikkerhed holdes i afstand fra varen, når bakken befinder sig i hvilestilling. Selv om bakken er fremstillet af en forholdsvis tynd folie, er den som følge af sin konstruk-5 tion overordentlig stabil og ikke tilbøjelig til at vippe, når den er fyldt med varer. Bakkerne er endvidere stabelbare.All of the above-described embodiments of the packaging tray according to the invention have the advantage that leaking liquid from the packaged food is collected in a well-defined central area where the liquid is not visible from outside and which can easily hold as much liquid as possible. that it is safely kept away from the item when the tray is in a resting position. Although the tray is made of a relatively thin foil, due to its construction, it is extremely stable and not prone to tilt when loaded with goods. The trays are also stackable.

De beskrevne og viste udførelsesformer for forhøjningerne 10 er alene eksempelvise, og forhøjningerne kan således have andre geometriske former, f.eks. pyramidestubbe med sekskantet fod eller keglestubbe.The described and illustrated embodiments of the elevations 10 are exemplary only and thus the elevations may have other geometric shapes, e.g. hexagonal pyramid stump or cone stump.

Endvidere kan afstanden mellem forhøjningernes toppe va-15 riere i et givet snit gennem bunden. F.eks. kan afstanden mellem toppene være mindst nærmest sidevæggene for at tiltage ind mod bundens midterområde. Antallet af toppe pr. arealenhed skal være så stort, at varen, der hviler på toppene, ikke hænger så langt ned, at den kommer i be-20 røring med væsken i bunden. Midterpunktet eller -området med størst højde af forhøjningerne behøver ikke nødvendigvis befinde sig i bakkens midte, hvis fødevarens form eller andre forhold måtte gøre det hensigtsmæssigt at forskyde dette punkt eller område i forhold til bakkens 25 geometriske midte.Furthermore, the distance between the tops of the elevations may vary in a given section through the bottom. Eg. For example, the distance between the peaks may be at least closest to the side walls to increase towards the center area of the bottom. The number of peaks per the unit of area must be so large that the article resting on the tops does not hang down so far as to come into contact with the liquid at the bottom. The midpoint or area with the highest elevation of the elevations need not necessarily be in the center of the tray if the shape or other conditions of the food may make it appropriate to displace this point or area relative to the geometric center of the tray 25.
