Definitions

• Consumable food container for fast food and means for its manufacture.
• the present invention relates to a consumable food container obtained by baking a leavened bread dough in a mold designed for this purpose.
• This assimilable container can accommodate, in a central chimney it contains, a wide variety of separate or combined food and can be associated with a beverage container.
• the container in question is proposed as industrial pro- Duit again because its production beyond the stage artis anal so that all hygiene measures are followed.
• the food container according to the invention is a balanced bread obtained in a single operation by molding and baking a dough deposited by dough pieces measured in cells where they have risen and on which is folded a cover provided with closed hollow cylindrical punches at their free end, each punch coming to occupy the center of each cell and thus reserving between its periphery and the interior of the cell a space occupied by the pin that has been deposited there.
• the dough goes up along each punch.
• the molded dough will be baked on the outside and inside, which may or may not be allowed to overflow to form a collar giving a psychological impression of abundance when presented to the public.
• the fineness of the bread produced gives the container appreciable isothermal qualities.
• the inner and outer crusts give it the rigidity necessary for good support and sufficient impermeability.
• Figure 1 shows in elevation and on a reduced scale, a container according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a sectional view
• Figure 3 is a plan view from above.
• FIG. 4 schematically shows a mold for obtaining several containers according to the invention.
• Figure 5 shows the assembly of two ents.
• Figures 6, 7 and B show containers according to the invention associated with beverage containers of different shapes.
• the container 1 is cylindro-conical, but it could be of cross section, square, triangular, semi-cylindrical, or of any other derived polygonal shape, while retaining " an internal chimney 2.
• the base is slightly conical; it can have a greater taper to allow for example a superposition of several containers. This base can also have a constricted part reserving a peripheral shoulder 3 for the same superposition of several containers containing different substances (fig.
• the base can also be arranged to adapt to an auxiliary container 4 made of another material and capable of containing, for example, a drink the absorption of which is effected by means of a straw 5, planted by the consumer at a space reserved for this purpose, in known manner
• This accessory container can contain a complementary food, a condimen t, a liquid, a fluid, a solid, a pasty, a heavy or a pulverulent and can take any shape, for example cylindrical (fig. 6), spherical (fig. 7), se i-spherical (fig .8), so as to ensure the vertical stability of the food container whatever the surface on which it is placed and its in ⁇ clininations or movements or vibrations.
• the regular shape of the container comes from its industrial production, it allows mechanical and standardized manipulations for filling with culinary products such as diced meat, vegetables or all other ingredients including desserts.
• FIG. 4 Several containers 1 are molded from the elements shown in Figure 4 and which include a base plate 6 on which are fixed cylindrical cells 7, or slightly frustoconical as shown.
• a cover 8 covers the cells 7 and locks in 9.11 comprises
• the central chimney 2 can also be shaped by heating compression or extrusion.
• the mold shown in Figure 4 has five cells, but of course it can include many more, depending on the ovens in which the cooking takes place.
• the dough pieces are placed in the cells 7 and the punches 10 are put in place by folding down the cover 8. The dough pieces grow and when they are sufficiently lifted, the mold is put in the oven.
• the cooking gives the container a certain 'rigidity provided by the formation of an outer crust Iji and indoor JDI crust surrounding the crumb. It can thus resist vertical, lateral and twisting forces during handling, storage and assembly.
• this coating crust gives the container the property of being liquid-tight and isothermal.
• a fatty release agent can reinforce the natural sealing of the product and allow the filling of the chimney 2 with very humid or even fluid food.
• the parts of the. or they can also be coated with a self-lubricating seal.
• molding the containers with disposable and / or degradable envelopes, made of aluminum or greaseproof paper for example, these envelopes replacing the cells 7 in the mold.
• the structure of the cooked dough of the container is with fine bubbles with closed cells, obtained by known means, such as yeasts, leaven and other expansion products, fermented or not. We can thus carefully balance the amounts of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and calories.
• the shape of the container can be varied endlessly; it suffices to provide the section and the dimensions of the cells 7 and of the punches 10 accordingly.
• the shape of the container makes it easier for the consumer to grasp.
• the interior can contain all kinds of culinary preparations. We can consider consuming it cold, warm or hot with its content. To this end, provision is made to store the containers in devices capable of maintaining the desired temperatures.
