Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the sector of container trays for packaging food products and relates more particularly to a tray or tray for packaging food such as, for example, meat, capable of exuding a serum or in any case liquid substances.
- trays are well known for this use, the body of which is generally made of expanded polystyrene or the like and which can be provided with a pad or a film of absorbent material to collect and retain the liquid substances exuded by the product. conditioned.
- the absorbent pad is simply placed on the bottom, inside the tray. It absorbs the serum but it is generally visible and, in any case, in direct contact with the packaged product and it is even likely to easily exhale unpleasant odors. Above all, being in direct contact with the product, the absorbent tends to absorb more serum than necessary and, consequently, it becomes saturated quickly and loses its effectiveness in the long run.
- trays with incorporated absorbent pad have been proposed, that is to say inserted between the two layers of expanded material which are superimposed and assembled to form the tray. Then, on the bottom of the tray, in the internal layer of constituent material, holes are made in order to drain the serum towards the incorporated absorbent pad.
- the absorbent pad is almost fully concealed and effective when the tray is laid flat.
- the bottom holes do not allow or, in any case, limit the drainage of the serum towards the absorbent when the tray is inclined as often happens in the windows of sales stores, or else, when the holes are in partly obstructed by the packaged product. In this case, the serum flows and accumulates towards the lowest side, thus remaining exposed to the view and still in contact with the packaged product, which constitutes a drawback.
- the present invention aims to completely remedy the drawbacks and disadvantages of the known trays used to date for the packaging of food products and in particular products capable of exuding liquid substances.
- the object of the present invention is, in fact, to provide a tray fitted inside with an absorbent pad or film, which is entirely away from any contact with the packaged product but which is, at the same time, exposed. in contact with the serum which it must absorb with the greatest efficiency, both when the tray is placed flat and when it is tilted. In this way, the serum is always absorbed, it does not leave free liquids in the tray and it is completely hidden from the user / buyer.
- This objective is achieved by applying an absorbent pad or film on the bottom of the tray, between the latter and a surface protective plate which forms a support surface for the product to be packaged, by providing a channel around this plate. drainage of the serum and leaving the perimeter of the absorbent pad or film free and facing this channel.
- FIGS. 1-10 illustrate an example of a tray consisting of a body 10 usually provided with a base plane 11 and sides 12 raised relative to the bottom over the entire perimeter.
- the body of the tray can be made with methods, materials and shapes that we know well and that do not require special attention.
- the absorbent pad 13 can be made of any suitable material, natural, plastic or gel-like fibers;
- the protective plate 14 is made of a material similar or different from that of the pad. If necessary, the plate, the buffer and the plate can be made of the same material even if it is treated in different ways and if the functions are different.
- the pad 13 and the protective plate 14 can be superimposed and assembled by gluing or by other means physical or mechanical.
- the protective plate 14 has the advantage of having an embossed structure or comprising pyramidal projections 15 in order to define a surface having multidirectional channels communicating with each other which allow the drainage of the liquid substances towards the periphery of the plate.
- the absorbent pad and the plate are assembled and applied to the bottom 11 of the body 10 of the tray so that the absorbent pad 13 is between the bottom and the protective plate 14, and that this plate constitutes, with its projections on the surface. 15, the support plane for the product to be packaged. They can be simply placed on the bottom of the tray or permanently fixed to the bottom with an adhesive - see Fig. 1 and 2. Alternatively, the pad and the protective plate can be applied to the bottom of the tray and held in place by blocking. mechanical, that is to say by snap-fastening, using lugs 16 arranged along the sides of the plate and which snap onto the edges of the protective plate 14, as illustrated in FIG. 4 of the drawings .
- the buffer and the protective plate when they are simply placed on the bottom of the tray or fixed to the bottom by snap-fastening, they can also be prepared and marketed as an independent device without relation to the origin of the tray.
- the dimensions of the absorbent pad and of the protective plate, at least of the plate are at least slightly smaller than those of the bottom of the tray, so as to form and leave all around the plate, between the latter and the sides 12 of the plate, a drainage channel 17.
- This channel makes it possible to drain towards the absorbent pad, the substances liquids exuded by the product and discharged by the plate so that they can be absorbed by the tampon regardless of the position or inclination of the plate.
- the tray with absorbent pad and integrated protective plate as described above is particularly suitable for packaging food products which tend to exude a serum or, in any case, liquid substances.
- the tampon absorbs the serum and the plate conceals it from the user, separates it from any contact with the product and limits the emanation of odors. Thanks to the channel around the perimeter, the drainage and absorption system works in all conditions, even when the tray is very inclined. Finally, the protrusions on the surface of the protective plate stabilize the position of the conditioned product by keeping it raised on the drainage channels and therefore drier.
- the absorbent may also be constituted by a gel or in any case by an absorbent polymer attached to the protective plate and applied with the plate in the tray.
