Description

L'invention concerne un emballage pour produits alimentaires en portions.The invention relates to a packaging for food products in portions.

Le but de la présente invention est de mettre au point un emballage pour des produits alimentaires à saupoudrer. Par exemple dans le cas de crème glacée présentée sous forme de portions, on sait saupoudrer lesdites crèmes glacées avec du cacao en poudre. Dans ce cas, après le saupoudrage on prend la portion de crème glacée avec les doigts, pour la placer dans son emballage, ce qui a pour conséquence de laisser des marques de doigts sur ladite portions. Il serait donc intéressant de disposer d'un emballage pour ce genre de produits, avec lequel on éviterait toute prise manuelle de la portion.The object of the present invention is to develop a packaging for food products to be sprinkled. For example in the case of ice cream presented in the form of portions, it is known to sprinkle said ice creams with cocoa powder. In this case, after dusting, take the portion of ice cream with your fingers, to place it in its packaging, which has the consequence of leaving fingerprints on said portions. It would therefore be interesting to have packaging for this kind of product, with which we would avoid any manual intake of the portion.

Il est bien entendu aussi que après le saupoudrage, il faut que l'emballage permette le déplacement mécanique des portions de crème glacée ainsi produites. L'emballage selon l'invention permet donc d'éviter toute manipulation après ledit saupoudrage tout en permettant une avance des portions sur une ligne de fabrication.It is also understood that after the dusting, the packaging must allow the mechanical displacement of the portions of ice cream thus produced. The packaging according to the invention therefore makes it possible to avoid any manipulation after said dusting while allowing advance of the portions on a production line.

L'invention concerne un emballage pour produits alimentaires en portions comprenant un élément support constitué par une tige de préhension et au moins deux plateaux pour lesdites portions solidaires du bas de ladite tige, perpendiculairement à celle-ci et une coque de protection pour coiffer lesdits plateaux, ménageant un espace pour les portions et comprenant une ouverture dans laquelle s'engage le haut de la tige de préhension.The invention relates to a packaging for food products in portions comprising a support element constituted by a gripping rod and at least two trays for said portions secured to the bottom of said rod, perpendicular thereto and a protective shell for covering said trays. , providing space for the portions and comprising an opening in which the top of the gripping rod engages.

L'emballage selon l'invention est prévu pour tout produit alimentaire à saupoudrer tel que crème glacée, gâteau et autres et le produit de saupoudrage est soit de la poudre de cacao, du sucre ou de la farine.The packaging according to the invention is intended for any food product to be sprinkled, such as ice cream, cake and the like and the dusting product is either cocoa powder, sugar or flour.

Lorsqu'on a déposé sur les plateaux les portions de produit alimentaire, il est important que lorsqu'on dispose la coque de protection, celle-ci ne touche pas lesdites portions. A cet effet, on prévoit sur le haut de la tige de préhension des ergots de centrage qui coopèrent avec des dégagements correspondant de l'ouverture de protection.When the portions of food product have been placed on the trays, it is important that when the protective shell is placed, it does not touch said portions. For this purpose, there are provided on the top of the gripping rod centering lugs which cooperate with corresponding clearances of the protective opening.

Il est important que l'espace entre les plateaux successifs de l'élément support soit évidé.It is important that the space between the successive plates of the support element is hollowed out.

L'élément support comprend entre 2 et 6 plateaux disposés symétriquement par rapport à la tige de préhension. De manière préférentielle, l'élément support comporte quatre plateaux, auquel cas on prévoit quatre ergots de centrage.The support element comprises between 2 and 6 plates arranged symmetrically with respect to the gripping rod. Preferably, the support element comprises four plates, in which case four centering pins are provided.

La coque de protection ménage des espaces au dessus desdits plateaux pour les portions de produits alimentaires. La coque ménage autant d'espaces qu'il y a de plateaux sur l'élément support.The protective shell provides spaces above said trays for portions of food products. The shell provides as many spaces as there are trays on the support element.

Pour renforcer l'élément support, il est judicieux de prévoir des nervures de renforcement, pour chaque plateau, s'étendant radialement dudit plateau vers la tige de préhension. Il peut même être intéressant que ladite nervure remonte en partie sur la tige de préhension, auquel cas l'ergot de centrage est dans le prolongement de cette nervure.To reinforce the support element, it is advisable to provide reinforcement ribs, for each plate, extending radially from said plate towards the gripping rod. It may even be advantageous for said rib to go back in part on the gripping rod, in which case the centering lug is in the extension of this rib.

La tige de préhension est normalement de forme cylindrique ou tronconique ou de section parallélépipédique. Si on considère cet emballage pour des crèmes glacées, les portions sont soit formées, durcies puis placées sur chaque plateau de l'élément support, soit formées directement sur les plateaux puis durcies.The gripping rod is normally of cylindrical or frustoconical shape or of parallelepipedal section. If we consider this packaging for ice creams, the portions are either formed, hardened and then placed on each tray of the support element, or formed directly on the trays and then hardened.

L'élément support est entraîné ensuite dans le tunnel de saupoudrage. La forme des plateaux permet de déposer de la poudre uniquement sur le produit et pas sur l'emballage. Après le saupoudrage, il suffit de recouvrir les portions avec la coque de protection. La présence de l'ouverture et des dégagements dans la coque permet de la centrer sur l'élément support.The support element is then driven into the dusting tunnel. The shape of the trays allows powder to be deposited only on the product and not on the packaging. After dusting, simply cover the portions with the protective shell. The presence of the opening and the clearances in the shell makes it possible to center it on the support element.

L'ensemble est alors soulevé par la tige de préhension puis déposé dans une boîte de carton.The assembly is then lifted by the gripping rod and then placed in a cardboard box.

Comme chaque portion est déposée sur un plateau correspondant, il est important que ladite portion reste bien en place. Pour ce faire, il est indispensable de prévoir sur lesdits plateaux entre 1 et 6 pointes de retenue. On a constaté que deux pointes maintiennent correctement les portions sur les plateaux et facilitent la préhension par le consommateur.As each portion is placed on a corresponding tray, it is important that said portion remains in place. To do this, it is essential to provide on said plates between 1 and 6 retaining points. It has been found that two points correctly maintain the portions on the trays and facilitate gripping by the consumer.

Ces pointes, de forme sensiblement conique, ont une hauteur comprise entre 4 et 10mm de préférence 7mm.These tips, of substantially conical shape, have a height of between 4 and 10mm, preferably 7mm.

D'habitude les portions déposées sur l'élément support sont de forme sphérique ou cylindrique, de sorte qu'on envisage des plateaux de forme circulaire. Etant bien entendu que d'autres formes sont également possibles.Usually the portions deposited on the support element are spherical or cylindrical, so that circular plates are considered. It being understood that other forms are also possible.

L'élément support et la coque de protection sont fabriqués par moulage par injection ou par thermoformage avec un matériau compatible dans le domaine alimentaire, par exemple polystyrène, polypropylène, polyéthylène, polyéthylène téréphtalate, polycarbonate ou polychlorure de vinyle. L'élément support doit être rigide tandis que la coque de protection peut être de moindre épaisseur et plus souple.The support element and the protective shell are manufactured by injection molding or by thermoforming with a compatible material in the food sector, for example polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate or polyvinyl chloride. The support element must be rigid while the protective shell may be thinner and more flexible.

D'habitude, on envisage un emballage à 4 portions ayant sensiblement la forme d'un trèfle.Usually, a 4-portion package having a substantially clover shape is envisaged.

La suite de la description est faite en référence aux dessins sur lesquels

  • Fig 1 est une vue en perspective de l'élément support,
  • Fig. 2 est une vue en perspective de la coque de protection et
  • Fig. 3 est une coupe selon la ligne A-A de la fig.1.

L'élément support (1) comprend une tige de préhension (2) et des plateaux support (3). Les nervures de renforcement (4) s'étendent radialement des plateaux vers la tige de préhension. Chaque plateau comporte deux pointes de retenue (5). On a pour cet élément une forme de trèfle à quatre feuilles. Le haut de la tige de préhension comprend des ergots de centrage (6).The support element (1) comprises a gripping rod (2) and support plates (3). The reinforcing ribs (4) extend radially from the plates towards the gripping rod. Each tray has two retaining pins (5). We have for this element a form of four-leaf clover. The top of the gripping rod includes centering pins (6).

La coque de protection (7) comporte quatre niches (9) ménageant une espace pour les portions de crème glacée recouverte de cacao en poudre. L'ouverture centrale (8) avec ses dégagements permet de centrer la coque sur l'élément support par les ergots (6).The protective shell (7) has four recesses (9) providing space for the portions of ice cream covered with cocoa powder. The central opening (8) with its clearances makes it possible to center the shell on the support element by the pins (6).

L'élément support a normalement un diamètre de 18-20 cm et la tige de préhension une hauteur de 6-8 cm et un diamètre de 2-3 cm. Les pointes de retenue ont une hauteur de 7 mm.The support element normally has a diameter of 18-20 cm and the gripping rod a height of 6-8 cm and a diameter of 2-3 cm. The retaining pins are 7 mm high.
