Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging intended to present and protect any consumable product intended for the consumer or the end user, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • This packaging is in the form of a box with adjoining cover, of polygonal shape, produced by thermoforming a sheet of plastic material made of PVC, polystyrene or other and not limiting.
  • the present invention aims to supplant all plastic packaging for prepared or other foods whether hot or cold and to meet, among other conditions of use, those of rigidity, of obturation by a joined and locked cover, of holding hot, easily gerbahles and storable empty or full fully transparent or not, allowing to see or not the content. These criteria are met by the box as claimed in claim 1.
  • the food product packaging box object of the present invention is characterized in that the container (1) is of prismatic shape with a polygonal base with sixteen sides (3) but not limiting forming a succession of facets 8a-8b which in turn are sometimes smooth and therefore perfectly transparent (facets 8a), sometimes striated by grooves (6) (facets 8b) improving the rigidity of said box.
  • the smooth and transparent facets (8a) allow a lateral view of the content.
  • the bottom (5) represented by FIG. 1 b giving the polygonal shape with sixteen sides (3) is characterized in that the plastic sheet is embossed by a decorative pattern in hollow and relief which aims to considerably reduce the surfaces of internal contact and consequently the adhesion of the food which is deposited there, like the external surfaces in contact with the laying surface of said box, these patterns also have the purpose of stiffening the bottom.
  • This bottom has two notches (16) arranged symmetrically canceling any jamming effect of two empty boxes fitted during storage.
  • the opening of the container (1) is characterized in that a flange (9) adjoining a flat (2) is extended over a certain length by a hinge (10) then by a cover (11), and by a closure system which will be described separately and which contribute to the closure of said box.
  • the flat (2) widens in one of the angles of the polygon to form a gripping tab (7) facilitating the opening of the cover (11).
  • the cover (11) is characterized in that it is also of polygonal shape with sixteen sides (3) provided with a flange (13) adjoining a flat (12) of which one of the angles is widened to form a gripping tab (15) facilitating the opening of said box by the fact that the shape of said tongue (15) is not confused with that of the tongue (7) as shown in FIG. 2. Entering one and on the other allows the lifting of said cover.
  • the dimensions of the rim (13) have been arranged in such a way that said rim fits perfectly inside the rim (9) of the container (1) ensuring that the box is sealed by closing the bottom and the lid. Its hollow shape contributes to the stacking of full boxes by preventing any sliding of a box in relation to the other.
  • the flat (12) is extended and transformed into a hinge (10) characterized in that it is formed by three corrugated folds (17) which, by deformation, give complete freedom of tilting of the cover both at opening and when said box is closed. These two positions are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.
  • said box has an incorporated system for locking the cover, characterized in that it consists of an interlocking of a relief shape in a hollow shape.
  • FIG. 1 a there are several raised shapes (4) on the rim (9), while in the rim (13) of the cover (11), there are several hollow shapes (14) arranged opposite and regularly arranged on the respective perimeters of the flanges (9) and (13).
  • the rim (13) penetrates by a slight pressure into the rim (9) of the container (1).
  • said rim (13) meets the relief shape (18) and accentuating the pressure, the latter deforms slightly thanks to the elasticity of the plastic continuing the whole of said box, and after passing over it, resumes its initial shape by fitting its hollow imprint (19) onto the relief shape (18) and bringing the flats (2) and (12) perfectly contiguous.
  • interlocking spherical geometry not being limiting, all other shapes can be used provided that they allow an overlap of the hollow imprint on the relief shape without reaching the permanent deformation of the edges (9) and (13) .
