Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for food products according to the preamble to Claim 1.
  • the invention has been developed with particular, although not exclusive, attention to its possible use for packaging food products such as confectionery products.
  • elongate package elements which may be constituted either by the products themselves directly (for example, if the products are breadsticks, elongate biscuits, bars of any food substances etc., possibly covered with chocolate or other food substances and wrapped in respective wrappers) or by subsidiary packaging elements such as, for example, tubular wrappers, possibly of the flow-pack type, in each of which there is a plurality of individual products, for example, pralines, chocolates, etc.
  • subsidiary packaging elements such as, for example, tubular wrappers, possibly of the flow-pack type, in each of which there is a plurality of individual products, for example, pralines, chocolates, etc.
  • pralines for example, pralines, chocolates, etc.
  • pralines pralines
  • each elongate element is constituted by a tubular wrapper of the flow-pack type, inside which there is a certain number of spherical pralines.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a package which can satisfy all the requirements mentioned above in an excellent manner.
  • this object is achieved by virtue of a package according to Claim 1.
  • a package for food products such as, for example, confectionery products is generally indicated 1 (with reference to both of the variants illustrated - which differ, however, only with reference to some elements).
  • the products in question are in the form of elongate elements 2 inside the package.
  • the elongate elements may be:
  • the elongate elements 2 are gathered together in a bundle, held together by a wrapper 3 of heat-shrinkable material.
  • the wrapper 3 is fitted onto the elongate elements 2 in an extended condition (according to known criteria) and is then exposed to moderate heating (also according to known criteria) so as to heat-shrink it and consequently to tighten it closely onto the elements 2.
  • a band 4 of sheet material, such as card, fitted around the wrapper 3 (with the main purpose of hiding it from the exterior) comprises a loop portion 5 for wrapping around the products 2 held together by the wrapper 3 and a radial appendage 6 for forming a kind of card for affixing inscriptions, pictures, etc. to the package.
  • Drops (or possibly streaks) of adhesive material are intended to connect the base 5a to the wrapper 3 to prevent the elements 2 gripped by the wrapper 3 from being removed from the band 4.
  • the connecting region between the cheek 5c and the appendage 6 extending therefrom has a horizontal slot 8 in which a tab-like appendage 9 extending from the cheek 5b is inserted.
  • the tab 9 is inserted in the slot 8 and then closed to a position in which it is in close contact either with the radial appendage 6 (on its rear face from the view point of Figure 1) or - preferably - with the rear cheek 5c of the loop portion 5, with the interposition of adhesive elements (not shown).
  • the appendage 6 is double, being constituted by two complementary appendages 6a, 6b extending from the cheek 5b and from the cheek 5c of the loop portion 5, respectively.
  • the package is closed as shown schematically in Figure 3, by bringing the two appendages 6a, 6b into contact with one another and then connecting them to one another, for example, with the interposition of spots or streaks of adhesive material 9 applied to the mutually facing surfaces, or by equivalent connection means.
  • the single appendage 6 in the embodiment of Figure 1 may also actually be constituted by two superimposed sheets of the material which constitutes the band 4 as a whole.
  • the formation of the appendage 6 by the superimposition of two sheets has the advantage of giving it a certain stiffness and thickness.
  • the two cheeks 5b and 5c are not of equal length (measured around the circumference of the band 4).
  • the cheek 5b (which is usually intended to constitute the front face of the package) is at least slightly longer - measured around the circumference of the band 4 - than the cheek 5c (which is intended to define the rear face of the package).
  • the overall effect of these different lengths is to ensure that the connecting region between the ends of the cheeks 5b and 5c, opposite the base 5a, is disposed in an eccentric position relative to the imaginary vertical plane which extends through the base 5a in a central position in the direction in which the elements 2 extend.
  • the loop portion 5 takes up an at least slightly asymmetrical ogival or drop-like shape with its tip portion offset towards the cheek 5c, that is - typically - towards the rear of the package. This ensures that the radial appendage 6 is also offset rearwardly relative to the package as a whole, that is in an "eccentric" position relative to the centre of gravity of the package.
  • the package 1 can therefore be placed on a display and sales shelf on the base 5a and can remain stable in this bearing position ensuring that, in any case, any stress applied to the package in a front-to-back direction (for example, as a result of the package leaning on or being leant on by other similar packages) involves, at most, a movement away from the position of equilibrium in the sense of a tendency to fall backwards (towards the cheek 5c).
  • each product that is, each elongate element 2
  • both the wrapper 3 and the band 4 cover only a portion of the length of the bundle of elements 2).
  • the elements cannot easily be removed from the package, since they are gripped by the wrapper 3 which in turn is connected to the band 4, for example, by means of spots of glue 7.
  • the package according to the invention retains a certain basic similarity to some packages typical of hand-production.
  • both the cheeks 5b, 5c and the card formed by the appendage 6 offer a large surface for affixing wording, captions, symbols, and pictures for presenting the product.
  • the overall asymmetrical shape of the loop portion 5, together with the presence of the base 5a give the package as a whole the property of stability, preventing it from accidentally falling forwards. All this is without in any way preventing a plurality of packages according to the invention from being gathered together in multiple packs for transfer to storage and sales locations.
