Definitions

  • a collection of food packages in a deep freeze food storage cabinet wherein the collection includes several sets of packages, each package comprising an envelope of sheet material and a quantity of food in the envelope, the food in all packages of each set having a common characteristic which distinguishes that food from the food in the packages of the other sets and the envelope of all packages of each set being of the same colour but different in colour from the envelopes of the packages of the other sets.
  • a chart on which there are associated, with samples of the colours of the envelopes, respective characteristics of the food in the packages of each set.
  • the chart may be mounted on a surface presented by the cabinet or on a structure adjacent to the cabinet. Conveniently, the chart is mounted on an external surface of a wall of the cabinet.
  • a collection comprising a plurality of sets of coloured plastics bags, the bags of each set being of a common colour which is different from the colours of the bags of the other sets, and a chart in which there are associated, with samples of the colours of the bags, respective characteristics of food.
  • a method of storing food wherein portions of food having a common characteristic are placed in respective bags of a single colour, further portions of food having a different common characteristics are placed in respective bags of a different colour, the colours being selected according to a predetermined code in which said characteristics are represented by respective colours and storing the bagged portions together in a deep freeze cabinet.
  • a bag of food having a selected one of said characteristics may be selected by identifying the colour of the bag and be removed from the cabinet for use.
  • the invention is especially useful with meat. It is common for portions of meat derived from different animals to be stored together in a single deep freeze cabinet. The portions are normally sealed inside respective plastic bags.
  • the bags are of transparent material and skilled persons can recognise the type of meat, that is whether the meat is beef, pork or lamb, for example, by visual inspection of the meat through the plastics bag, when the meat is first placed therein. However, when the meat has been frozen, recognition is more difficult. After being stored for a period in a deep freeze cabinet, each package of meat will have acquired a coating of frost and this can prevent even skilled persons recognizing the kind of meat in a particular packcge.
  • a code in which different colours represent different kinds of meat. Bags formed of plastics sheet material in corresponding colours are provided and ecch portion of meat is packed in a bag selected in accordance with the code.
  • the colour of the bag may represent not only animal from which the meat has been derived but additional characteristics also, for excmple the cut of the meat.
  • the code may include representation by particular colours of other kinds of food, for example fruit and vegetables. For example, bags of one colour may be used for containing raspberries whilst bags of another colour are used for containing strawberries.
  • the deep freeze cabinet 10 shown in figure I may be any known deep freeze cabinet.
  • a chart 19 bearing a colour code for different varieties of food.
  • the chart may associate the colour red with beef, the colour blue with pork and the colour green with lamb.
  • the variety of meat may be identified by a word, an illustration or both. Additional varieties of food may be coded, for example the colour red being associated also with strawberries, the colour blue being associated also with raspberries and the colour green being associated also with cherries.
  • the deep freeze cabinet 10 contains a number of sets of packages.
  • Each package comprises an envelope of plastics sheet material and a quantity of food in the envelope.
  • the food in each envelope is all of the same variety.
  • the food in ail envelopes of one set is all of the same variety but is of a variety different from that of the food in the other sets.
  • the 5 envelopes of the packages are coloured in accordance with the code on the chart 19.
  • the packages 1 1 and 18 may be red and may contain beef
  • the packages 12 and 13 may be blue and contain pork
  • the packages 14 and 15 may be green and contain lamb
  • the package 17 may be red and contain strawberries
  • the package 16 may contain raspberries.
  • the envelopes of the packages I I to 18 are bags of pigmented polyethylene film and are manufactured in a known manner.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a package comprising an outer envelope 20, which may also be a 5 bag of plastics film, a chart 19 and a number of sets of coloured bags 21 , 22 and 23.
  • the sets of bags and the chart are all contained within the envelope 20.
  • the chart is in a folded condition whereas each of the bags is flat.
  • All of the bags of the sets 21 ,22 and 23 may be of the same size. 0 Alternatively, each set may include bags having respective different sizes. The bags of each set are the same colour and are different in colour from the bags of the other sets. It will be understood that, whilst only three sets of bags have been illustrated, a greater number, for example six sets, may be provided. 5
  • each portion of food is placed in a bag selected from the contents of the envelope 20 in accordance with the code on the chart 19 and the bag is closed in a known manner. The packages thus formed are placed together in the deep freeze cabinet. It will be understood that a portion of a selected variety of food can subsequently be retrieved relatively easily, using the colour code. It is unnecessary for different varieties of food to be stored in different compartments of the freezer cabinet.
