Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging jar for a product with a solid gel consistency and, in particular, such products as blanks or the like in the food industry.
  • the latter in particular when they are intended to be served as individual portions, are generally sold in frustoconical pots made of food-grade plastic material, grooved or not, on their lateral surface.
  • Such a pot allows, by a pressure on its bottom, to exert a push on the product in the direction of its release and, in addition, by peeling said product from said bottom, an air intake which releases the product from the adhesion to the wall and the bottom.
  • Such a jar device necessarily leads, on the one hand, for gelled products at the place to an appearance of the base of the product once removed from the mold which is not always desired and, on the other hand, does not work in a way satisfactory than with certain products with good sliding properties and very solid texture, such as ice cream or the like.
  • a jar packaging container or the like of plastic material, is of generally frustoconical shape flared upwards with a bottom comprising an outwardly convex part which is can be reversed by pressing the consumer's fingers to help expel the product from the jar.
  • the convex part of the bottom is entirely included inside a hollow formed in said bottom, so that the device can only be operational if the product contained inside the pot is a relatively solid and with little adhesion to the wall of the pot.
  • thermoforming a device according to this British patent is only difficult to produce by thermoforming and, when it is produced by this technique, provides a relatively hard, non-deformable convex part, because the thermoforming technique does not allow to manufacture a flexible base since the sheet or film used for thermoforming is preferably stretched in the zone of connection of the side wall to the convex part and not in this last part itself.
  • a product packaging jar having the consistency of a solid gel, in particular of food product such as a blank or similar product with side wall and bottom at least partially domed deformable in response at a pressure exerted on said bottom to cause the product to leave the jar when the bottom has its inverted curvature from a first condition in which it has its convexity turned towards the outside of the jar to a second condition in which this convexity is turned inside the pot, characterized in that in the first condition the whole bottom, which is connected to the side wall by a break in the continuity of the thickness of the external envelope formed by the side wall and the bottom and which has a regular bulge extending over all or almost the entire surface of said bottom, protrudes outside the pot beyond the side wall of said pot.
  • the bottom has a flat in the area close to its axis.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 which aim at variants.
  • the side wall 2 has, in the vicinity of its filling opening, a projecting radial return 5 forming a sealing area suitable for receiving a closure for closing the pot.
  • the side wall 2 of the pot has a bottom 10, at least partially domed and which is connected to said side wall by an edge or line 11 which breaks the continuity of curvature of the envelope. external and makes it possible to deform the bottom, in response to pressure, to bring its curvature, here initially convex and facing outward from the pot, of the condition shown in FIG. 1, that is to say in which it is outside the volume defined by the side wall 2 and a plane P limiting the barrel 1 until a condition shown in FIG. 2 in which the bottom 10 is inside this volume, -with its convexity turned towards inside the pot-, as illustrated by the dotted line in this figure.
  • a food-grade plastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene
  • thermoforming process a thermoforming process
  • the bottom 13 (which in its initial condition protrudes outside the pot, beyond the side wall of the latter) has protuberances or stiffeners 121, 122, 123, which by locally modifying the rigidity of the bottom 13 and therefore its deformability characteristics, facilitate the inversion of convexity of said bottom by taking advantage of a click effect.
  • the invention is not of course limited to the embodiments which have just been described; thus, and while the bottom 10 or 13 has been shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 as having a regular bulging, it may only be partially bulging, as shown in FIG. 5 where the bottom 20 has a flat 21 in its area near the X axis of the pot.

Claims (3)

  1. Verpackungsbecher für ein Produkt mit der Konsistenz eines festen Gels, insbesondere ein Nahrungsprodukt wie einen Pudding oder ein ähnliches Produkt, mit einer Seitenwand und einem zumindest teilweise gewölbten Boden, welcher als Reaktion auf einen auf ihn ausgeübten Druck verformbar ist, um das Heraustreten des Produktes aus dem Becher hervorzurufen, wenn die Krümmung des Bodens (10, 13, 20) aus einem ersten Zustand, in dem ihre Konvexität zur Außenseite des Bechers hinweist, in einen zweiten Zustand verkehrt wird, in dem diese Konvexität zur Innenseite des Bechers hinweist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der gesamte Boden (10, 13, 20), der sich durch eine Unterbrechung der Kontinuität in der Dicke der die Seitenwand (2, 15) und den Boden (10, 13, 20) bildenden Außenhülle an die Seitenwand (2, 15) anschließt und eine sich über die gesamte oder fast die gesamte Oberfläche des Bodens (10, 13, 20) erstreckende regelmäßige Wölbung aufweist, in jenem ersten Zustand über die Seitenwand (2, 15, ...) des Bechers hinaus über den Becher vorsteht.
  2. Becher nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der zumindest teilweise gewölbte Boden (13) Ausstülpungen (12) aufweist, welche regelmäßig verteilt sind und welche, indem sie die Steifigkeit und folglich die Verformbarkeitscharakteristiken des Bodens örtlich modifizieren, die Umkehrung der Konvexität durch teilweises Heranziehen eines Umschnapp- oder Auslöseeffektes erleichtern.
  3. Becher nach einem der vorstehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sein Boden (20) in der zu seiner Achse benachbarten Zone eine Abflachung (21) aufweist.
