Description

La présente invention a pour objet une caisse de conservation, notamment de poissons, coquillage ou crustacés, dans la glace.The subject of the present invention is a storage case, in particular for fish, shellfish or crustaceans, in ice.

On sait que ce procédé permet d'assurer une certaine fraîcheur des produits alimentaires entre les lieux de pêche ou de collecte et le consommateur final mais que la glace doit être renouvelée assez fréquemment. Actuellement, le transport de poissons est effectué à l'aide de caisses ouvertes à leur partie supérieure et dont le fond est à claire-voie. On alterne successivement les couches de glace et les couches de poissons.We know that this process ensures a certain freshness of food products between fishing or collection places and the end consumer, but that the ice must be replaced quite frequently. Currently, the transport of fish is carried out using crates open at their upper part and whose bottom is openwork. We successively alternate the layers of ice and the layers of fish.

Malheureusement, la glace à une température ambiante supérieure à 0°C fond et se transforme en eau. Lorsque les poissons sont contenus dans des caisses, empilées pour des raisons de disponibilité d'espace, l'eau de fusion s'écoule par le fond sur les caisses inférieures dont le contenu est délavé, la fusion de leur glace étant accélérée sous l'action de l'eau des caisses supérieures. Par ailleurs, les contraintes réglementaires en ce qui concerne l'hygiène ne sont pas toujours respectées.Unfortunately, ice at an ambient temperature above 0 ° C melts and turns into water. When the fish are contained in crates, stacked for reasons of space availability, the fusion water flows from the bottom to the lower crates, the contents of which are washed out, the melting of their ice being accelerated under the water action of the upper cases. Furthermore, regulatory constraints regarding hygiene are not always respected.

La présente invention a pour objet une caisse de conservation dans la glace qui puisse être gerbable ( mise en pile par superposition) et qui reste à l'abri du ruissellement des caisses supérieures de la pile après chargement de celles-ci par de la glace.The subject of the present invention is a storage box in the ice which can be stackable (stacked by stacking) and which remains sheltered from the runoff of the upper boxes of the stack after loading thereof with ice.

Selon la présente invention, la caisse de conservation dans la glace comprenant un corps dont le fond est percé de trous d'écoulement et un couvercle s'emboîtant dans le corps et pouvant recevoir le fond d 'une caisse supérieure est caractérisée en ce que le couvercle présente des canaux d'évacuation de l'eau de fusion, permettant l'évacuation vers l'extérieur de l'eau de ruissellement de la pile supérieure.According to the present invention, the ice storage case comprising a body the bottom of which is pierced with drainage holes and a cover which fits into the body and can receive the bottom of an upper case is characterized in that the cover has evacuation channels for the fusion water, allowing the evacuation of the runoff water from the upper stack.

Ainsi, l'eau de fusion est dirigée vers l'extérieur des caisses et le contenu des caisses est conservé au froid et à l'abri de l'eau qui s'écoule d'une part les trous de fond de caisse et, d'autre part, par les canaux prévus dans le couvercle de la caisse inférieure. C'est le couvercle de la caisse qui assure l'étanchéité de celle-ci vis à vis de l'eau.Thus, the melt water is directed towards the outside of the boxes and the contents of the boxes are kept cold and protected from the water which flows on the one hand the bottom holes of the box and, d on the other hand, through the channels provided for in the lower case cover. It is the cover of the box that seals it against water.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les corps parallélipipèdiques, à parois inclinées du haut vers le bas, des caisses comprennent, au milieu de chacun de leurs cotés des piliers destinés à contrebalancer les forces verticales appliquées sur la caisse, assurant l'assiette des caisses superposées et des plots d'angle de rigidité. C'est sur ces plots que vient prendre appui la caisse supérieure par l'intermédiaire ou non du couvercle. Ainsi, le couvercle ne joue que pour obturer la partie supérieure de la caisse et peut être très fin puisqu'il n'a aucune résistance mécanique à assurer.According to another characteristic of the invention, the rectangular bodies, with walls inclined from top to bottom, boxes include, in the middle of each of their sides pillars intended to counterbalance the vertical forces applied to the box, ensuring the trim stacked boxes and stiffness angle pads. It is on these studs that the upper body comes to bear, whether or not by means of the cover. Thus, the cover only plays to close off the upper part of the box and can be very thin since it has no mechanical resistance to ensure.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, deux cotés perpendiculaires présentent des plots munis de fentes médianes dans lesquelles peuvent s'insérer les plots des deux autres cotés. Ainsi, l'axe longitudinal de deux caisses étant dans un même plan, les deux caisses vides, dans une première direction, peuvent s'emboîter complètement de sorte que le fond de l'une vienne au contact du fond de l'autre alors que dans l'autre position, l'une des caisses ayant tourné d'un demi-tour par rapport à l'autre, les caisses ne s'emboîtent que partiellement.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, two perpendicular sides have studs provided with median slots in which the studs on the other two sides can be inserted. Thus, the longitudinal axis of two boxes being in the same plane, the two empty boxes, in a first direction, can fit completely so that the bottom of one comes into contact with the bottom of the other while in the other position, one of the boxes having turned half a turn relative to the other, the boxes only partially fit together.

De préférence la caisse (corps et/ou couvercle) est réalisée par thermoformage d'un composé co-extrudé, les corps et les couvercles étant séparément empilables de sorte que le montage d'une caisse n'est réalisé qu'après le remplissage ce qui permet le transport de récipients vides sous des volumes restreints.Preferably the box (body and / or cover) is produced by thermoforming of a co-extruded compound, the bodies and the covers being separately stackable so that the mounting of a box is only carried out after filling. which allows the transport of empty containers under limited volumes.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre , d'un mode particulier de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des figures qui représentent :

  • la figure 1, une vue en perspective du corps et du couvercle d'une caisse;
  • la figure 2, une vue par-dessous de la même caisse;
  • la figure 3, une vue en coupe d'une caisse fermée par un couvercle;
  • la figure 4, une partie d'une pile de caisses gerbées;
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the description which follows, of a particular embodiment given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the figures which represent:
  • Figure 1, a perspective view of the body and the cover of a box;
  • Figure 2, a view from below of the same box;
  • Figure 3, a sectional view of a box closed by a cover;
  • Figure 4, part of a stack of stacked boxes;

Sur la figure 1, on voit que le corps 1 de caisse de forme générale parallélipipèdique comprend un fond 2 présentant des nervures longitudinales 3 et des trous 4 destinés à l'écoulement de l'eau de fusion. A partir du fond 2 s'élèvent quatre parois verticales 5, légèrement inclinées afin de permettre l'empilage des caisses vides. Dans ces parois, on distingue des plots d'angle 6 et des piliers ou étais médians 7. Dans un mode particulier de réalisation, les étais 7 sont de deux sortes. Deux des étais 71 ont une section semi tronconique alors que les deux autres 72 ont une section sensiblement rectangulaire. Les étais 72 ont dans leur centre une fente ou ouverture 8 verticale dont la forme est inverse ou complémentaire de la forme des étais 71. Les plots 6 et les étais 71, 72 présentent, par ailleurs, des surfaces d'appui 9 qui se trouvent au même niveau par rapport au fond. Les surfaces 9 sont destinées à constituer l'assiette du couvercle ou d'une autre caisse . Dans chaque plot d'angle 6 est également formé un second décrochement 10 servant de butée pour l'empilage de caisses dans leur seconde position d'empilage comme cela sera expliqué par la suite. Les parois verticales 5 se terminent à leur partie supérieure par une collerette périphérique 11 en saillie par rapport au plan supérieur 12 du corps de caisse. Dans les angles de la collerette rectangulaire 12 sont formés des goulottes hémicylindriques 13.In FIG. 1, it can be seen that the body 1 of body of generally parallelepipedal shape comprises a bottom 2 having longitudinal ribs 3 and holes 4 intended for the flow of the fusion water. From the bottom 2 rise four vertical walls 5, slightly inclined to allow the stacking of empty boxes. In these walls, a distinction is made between angle studs 6 and median pillars or struts 7. In a particular embodiment, the struts 7 are of two kinds. Two of the struts 71 have a semi-tapered section while the other two 72 have a substantially rectangular section. The struts 72 have in their center a vertical slot or opening 8 the shape of which is opposite or complementary to the shape of the struts 71. The studs 6 and the struts 71, 72 also have bearing surfaces 9 which are located at the same level compared to the bottom. The surfaces 9 are intended to constitute the plate of the cover or of another box. In each corner stud 6 is also formed a second recess 10 serving as a stop for stacking boxes in their second stacking position as will be explained later. The vertical walls 5 terminate at their upper part by a peripheral flange 11 projecting from the upper plane 12 of the body of the body. In the corners of the rectangular flange 12, semi-cylindrical troughs 13 are formed.

Le couvercle 20 est représenté en perspective sur la figure 1 . Il se compose d'une feuille rectangulaire 22 thermoformée présentant une partie périphérique 21 en saillie destinée à venir s'assujettir, par sa surface inférieure, sur le bourrelet 11 d'un corps de caisse tel que celui qui vient d'être décrit. Il présente dans chacun de ses coins une gouttière 23 dont la surface inférieure s'encastre, lorsque le couvercle est mis en place, dans une des goulottes 13. Le couvercle 20 forme un opercule d'étanchéité qui reçoit l'eau de fusion de la glace s'écoulant par les trous 4 du fond de la caisse supérieure dans la pile et permet son écoulement à l'extérieur du récipient inférieur ce qui protège celui-ci.The cover 20 is shown in perspective in FIG. 1. It consists of a thermoformed rectangular sheet 22 having a projecting peripheral part 21 intended to come to be secured, by its lower surface, on the bead 11 of a body of the body such as that which has just been described. It has in each of its corners a gutter 23 whose lower surface is embedded, when the cover is put in place, in one of the troughs 13. The cover 20 forms a sealing cap which receives the water of fusion from the ice flowing through the holes 4 of the bottom of the upper case in the stack and allows its flow outside the lower container which protects it.

La figure 2 représente une caisse en perspective vue par dessous. On y retrouve les éléments précédemment mentionnés, à savoir: le fond 2 percé de trous 4, les plots d'angle 6 et les étais 71,72 qui sont en saillie à l'intérieur des la caisse et en creux à l'extérieur de celle-ci. l'ensemble du corps étant, bien entendu d'une épaisseur constante mises à part les déformations résultant du thermoformage.Figure 2 shows a box in perspective seen from below. We find there the elements previously mentioned, namely: the bottom 2 pierced with holes 4, the corner studs 6 and the struts 71,72 which protrude inside the body and recessed outside this one. the whole body being, well heard of a constant thickness apart from the deformations resulting from thermoforming.

Sur la figure 3 qui est une coupe par un plan vertical, on voit que le couvercle 20 repose sur les surfaces 9 prévus à la partie supérieure des plots et étais. C'est la surface supérieure de la caisse qui, en cas de gerbage reçoit la périphérie de la caisse supérieure et le poids de la caisse ou des caisses supérieures est supporté par les plots et étais, le couvercle 20 étant simplement pris en sandwich entre deux caisses. Dans ces conditions, il n'a aucun poids à supporter et comme expliqué précédemment il peut être très fin, ce qui réduit les coûts de fabrication et les frais de transport.In Figure 3 which is a section through a vertical plane, we see that the cover 20 rests on the surfaces 9 provided at the upper part of the studs and was. It is the upper surface of the box which, in the event of stacking receives the periphery of the upper box and the weight of the box or upper boxes is supported by the studs and props, the cover 20 being simply sandwiched between two cases. Under these conditions, it has no weight to bear and as explained above it can be very thin, which reduces manufacturing costs and transport costs.

La figure 4 représente quelques caisses gerbées c'est à dire empilées l'une sur l'autre avec insertion partielle du fond d'une caisse dans une caisse inférieure ce qui assure une bonne stabilité de la pile. Les gouttières 23 formées dans le couvercle 20 sont ouvertes vers l'extérieur ce qui permet l'écoulement de l'eau de fusion de la glace à l'extérieur des caisses. Cette première position de gerbage concerne le cas des caisses après remplissage par les denrées et la glace.Figure 4 shows some stacked boxes that is to say stacked one on the other with partial insertion of the bottom of a box in a lower box which ensures good stability of the stack. The gutters 23 formed in the cover 20 are open towards the outside which allows the flow of the ice melting water outside the boxes. This first stacking position relates to the case of boxes after filling with food and ice.

Une seconde position ( non représentée) est celle du transport des caisses vides. Dans ce cas, les corps 1 des caisses pénètrent complètement dans le corps de la caisse inférieure mais leur encastrement est limité par les surfaces de butées 10 qui apparaissent plus clairement sur la figure 2. Cette seconde position suppose que les deux caisses superposées soit orientées à 180° l'une par rapport à l'autre. Dans ces conditions les étais 71 pénètrent dans les fentes 8 des étais 72 et le fond d'une caisse vient au voisinage du fond de la caisse inférieure. Cette disposition permet ainsi un transport des caisses vides avec un minimum de volume. Lorsque les caisses sont dans le même sens, elles se superposent comme dans le cas où il y a un couvercle par appui de leur fond 2 sur les surfaces 9. Outre les trous prévus dans le fond de la caisse, il est possible de prévoir des trous d'écoulement de l'eau à la partie inférieure des parois latérales de la caisse.A second position (not shown) is that of transporting empty cases. In this case, the bodies 1 of the boxes completely penetrate into the body of the lower box but their embedding is limited by the abutment surfaces 10 which appear more clearly in FIG. 2. This second position assumes that the two superimposed boxes are oriented at 180 ° relative to each other. Under these conditions the struts 71 penetrate into the slots 8 of the struts 72 and the bottom of a box comes in the vicinity of the bottom of the bottom box. This arrangement thus allows transport of empty cases with a minimum of volume. When the boxes are in the same direction, they overlap as in the case where there is a cover by pressing their bottom 2 on the surfaces 9. In addition to the holes provided in the bottom of the box, it is possible to provide water drainage holes at the bottom of the side walls of the body.
