Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to packaging for friable baked products such as slices of toasted bread (commonly called toast slices) and like food products which have a substantially regular flat form.
  • this invention relates to a wrapper in which a plurality of baked products of the said type, for example toast slices, disposed in a stack of vertically arranged slices in close alignment to protect one another, are tightly wrapped in a sheet of, for example, appropriate paper or card material to constitute a "stick", (as disclosed for. ex. in EP-A-0 474 981).
  • a plurality of baked products of the said type for example toast slices, disposed in a stack of vertically arranged slices in close alignment to protect one another, are tightly wrapped in a sheet of, for example, appropriate paper or card material to constitute a "stick", (as disclosed for. ex. in EP-A-0 474 981).
  • toast slices especially when they best satisfy the organoleptic characteristics to which they aspire, have such a high degree of friability that even a small knock or stress, even if not accidental, is enough to break them into fragments; and it is known that the said friability is greatly accentuated in the central part of the toast slices where they have a reduced thickness with respect to the peripheral parts, and in particular the perimeter.
  • the packaging of toast slices in particular the stick-wrapper thereof, is structured to protect the toast slices from knocks and/or stresses which they may experience due to the various manipulations to which the packages are subjected from the time they leave the packaging machine to the point at which they are "opened" by the consumer.
  • Such protection must be particularly effective at the opposite ends or short sides of the stick-wrapper where the respective central portions of the first and last toast slice of the packet are located.
  • the problem on which the present invention is based is that of devising and making available a stick-wrapper for toast slices and similar such friable baked products, having a packaging system which also confers on the toast slices at the end of the packet a good protection against knocks and stresses even non-accidental ones, thus overcoming the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the toast slices 1 are substantially square, having been obtained using conventional techniques from a sandwich loaf suitably treated and toasted.
  • the said stick-wrapper comprises a packing generally indicated 2, preferably made from so-called single-faced corrugated cardboard, that is to say cardboard of the type constituted by a smooth sheet 3 associated with a folded sheet 4 having sharp folds as shown in Figure 4.
  • the packaging 2 is shaped substantially as a parallelepipedic container, made in two parts: a part 5 defining a side wall 6 and the opposite ends 7, 8 of the said container, and the other part 9 defining the remaining side walls 10, 11 and 12 thereof.
  • each of the said ends 7, 8 comprises two adjacent walls 13, 14, the wall 13 being in contact with the corresponding toast slice (1a, 1b) and the wall 14 constituting the outer face of the end (7,8); the said walls 13,14 are obtained by folding corresponding portions 13a, 14a of a starting corrugated cardboard blank 15 about a folding line 16 incised preliminarily into the corrugated sheet 4 of the said blank 15.
  • the said end flap 17 is obtained by folding a corresponding portion 17a of the blank 15 about a fold line 18 preliminarily incised into the blank.
  • this fold line 18 extends along the side of the said portion 14a opposite that of the fold line 16.
  • the end flap 17 substantially constitutes a spacer between the walls 13, 14 of each of the said ends 7,8.
  • the walls 13, 13 of the said ends 7, 8 are maintained in substantial contact with the end toast slices 1a, 1b at the end of the stack of slices 1, whilst the walls 14, 14 are associated with the corresponding walls 13, 13 but spaced from them.
  • the walls 14, 14 are slightly divergent with respect to the walls 13, 13 starting from the respective fold lines 18 because of the presence along the opposite side of the spacing end flap 17.
  • Another particular advantage achieved by the present invention is constituted by the fact that the said package can be obtained without any difficulty using prescoring and blank-folding techniques (of the corrugated cardboard) already widely utilised in the art. Moreover, packages thus obtained can be equally easily manipulated in current automatic packaging machines and/or apparatus without any detailed modification of these.
  • each end 19 of the package of this invention can comprise a pair of walls 20, 21 adjacent and spaced from one another and mutually spaced by the presence between them of a spacer constituted by a frame 22.
  • the said frame is made of the same material as that from which the walls 20, 21 are made, for example (and preferably) corrugated cardboard.
