Eine rechteckige insbesondere quadratische flexible und damit nicht starre Scheibe 1 von wenigen Millimetern Dicke beinhaltet ein leicht verderbliches Lebensmittel wie Käse, Wurst, Soja, Sauce, Früchte, Gemüse, Sülze oder ähnliches und weist eine allseitig umhüllende Kunststoffolie auf, die an den Scheibenrändern versiegelt ist und damit dort Versiegelungsränder 2 bildet, so daß die Scheibe 1 sich in einen gasdichten Schlauchbeutel besitzt, dessen Flächen dicht an den Lebensmittelaußenseiten anliegen.A rectangular in particular square flexible and thus not rigid disk 1 of a few millimeters Fat contains a perishable food such as cheese, sausage, soy, sauce, fruits, vegetables, jelly or Similar and has an all-encompassing Plastic film that seals on the edges of the pane and there are sealing edges 2 forms, so that the disc 1 turns into a gas-tight Has tubular bag, the surfaces close to the Fit the outside of the food.

Mehrere Scheiben 1 stehen senkrecht, einen Stapel bildend in einem nach oben offenen Behälter (Schachtel) 3 insbesondere aus Karton. Der Behälter 3 weist eine senkrechte Vorderseite 4, eine senkrechte Rückseite 5 und zwei senkrechte Seitenwände 7, 8 auf, so daß die Wände 5 bis 8 den Scheibenstapel an vier Seiten umgeben. Hierbei besitzt die Vorderseite 4 eine geringere Höhe als die Rückseite 5 und insbesondere die Seitenwände 7, 8, so daß die Scheiben von vorne leicht von Hand einzeln entnehmbar sind, nachdem eine Behälterumhüllung 21 insbedondere aus Kunststofffolie entfert wurde. Diese Umhüllungsfolie ermöglicht es den Behälterinhalt zu begasen. Several disks 1 are vertical, forming a stack in an open container (box) 3 especially from cardboard. The container 3 has one vertical front side 4, a vertical rear side 5 and two vertical side walls 7, 8 so that the Walls 5 to 8 surround the stack of disks on four sides. The front side 4 has a lower height than the back 5 and especially the side walls 7, 8, so that the washers lightly by hand from the front are individually removable after a container wrapping 21 in particular was made of plastic film. This Wrapping film allows the contents of the container to be closed gas.

Die Scheiben 1 stehen nicht absolut senkrecht im Innern des Behälters 3, sondern in einer leicht schrägen Anordnung, wobei die Scheiben mit dem Behälterboden einen Winkel α von 60 bis 85 Grad insbesondere von 80 Grad bilden. Damit der gewählte Winkel eingehalten wird, befindet sich auf der Innenseite der Rückwand 5 eine Einlage 10 insbesondere aus Karton in Form einer schrägen Wand, die im selben Winkel α schräg gestellt ist und an der die hinterste Scheibe 1 anliegt. Damit die Scheiben auf dem Boden 9 nicht verrutschen, bildet der Boden 9 ein eine gewellte Oberseite 11, insbesondere aus Karton, wobei jede Scheibe 1 mit ihrer Unterseite in einer zwischen zwei Rippen befindliche Ausnehmung 12 einliegt. Die gewellte Oberseite 11 kann von einem Abschnitt gebildet sein, der einstückig in die Einlage 10 übergeht.The disks 1 are not absolutely vertical inside of the container 3, but in a slightly oblique Arrangement, the disks with the bottom of the container Angle α from 60 to 85 degrees, especially 80 degrees form. So that the selected angle is maintained, is located on the inside of the rear wall 5 Insert 10 in particular made of cardboard in the form of an oblique Wall that is inclined at the same angle α and on of the rearmost disc 1. So the disks do not slip on the floor 9, the floor 9 forms a corrugated top 11, in particular made of cardboard, each disc 1 with its underside in one recess 12 located between two ribs. The corrugated top 11 can be of a section be formed, which integrally merges into the insert 10.

In den Figuren 5 bis 7 ist ein Ausschnitt aus einer Anlage dargestellt, die die einzeln umhüllten Scheiben 1 in die Behälter 3 füllt. Die Anlage weist eine untere Längsführung 13 auf, in der die Behälter 3 in Transportrichtung gleiten. Hierbei werden die Behälter durch mit Bürsten versehene waagerechte Transportbänder 14 bewegt und auch die Scheibenstapel werden durch waagerecht umlaufende Bürstenbänder 15 transportiert. Die Bänder 15 fixieren zudem die Scheiben in der Packung und halten den Behälter 3 oben offen, um keine Störkanten entstehen zu lassen. Funktion und Konstruktion dieser Bürstenbänder 14, 15 werden hier nicht genauer beschrieben, da ihre Technik in der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung P 196 04 926.1 ausführlich dargestellt ist. In Figures 5 to 7 is a section of a System shown that the individually wrapped slices 1 fills in the container 3. The facility has a lower one Longitudinal guide 13 in which the container 3 in Slide the direction of transport. Here, the containers thanks to horizontal conveyor belts with brushes 14 moves and also the stack of disks are through horizontally rotating brush belts 15 transported. The bands 15 also fix the discs in the package and keep the container 3 open at the top, so that no interfering edges let develop. Function and construction of this Brush belts 14, 15 are not more precise here described, since their technique in the unpublished German patent application P 196 04 926.1 is shown in detail.

Die Anlage weist zwei oberhalb der Behälter 3 angeordnete umlaufende Transportriemen 16, 17 auf, die einen senkrechten Transportspalt 18 bilden, durch den einzelne Scheiben 1 nach unten zu dem jeweils darunter befindlichen Behälter 3 geführt werden. Die Scheiben gelangen kurz oberhalb des Behälters auf ein im Winkel leicht schräggestelltes Führungsblech 19 und gleiten über dieses Blech in den Behälter 3. Zwei seitliche Führungsbleche 20 (Figur 7) sorgen dafür, daß die Scheiben zusätzlich zu den Seiten hin geführt sind.The system has two arranged above the container 3 revolving conveyor belts 16, 17, one form vertical transport gap 18 through the individual Slices 1 down to the one below located container 3 are performed. The disks arrive at an angle just above the container slightly inclined guide plate 19 and slide over this sheet in the container 3. Two side Guide plates 20 (Figure 7) ensure that the Disks are guided in addition to the sides.

Die Scheiben 1 werden damit in senkrechter bzw. leicht schräger Stellung einzeln in den jeweiligen Behälter 3 geführt, wobei von Scheibe zu Scheibe der bzw. die Behälter um die Scheibenbreite vorwärts bewegt werden, so daß sich eine Scheibe nach der anderen sich auf die vorherige legt und der Stapel innerhalb des Behälters gebildet wird. Nach dem Einbringen der letzten Scheibe in den jeweiligen Behälter, wird die Vorschubbewegung der Transportbänder 14, 15 kurzzeitig beschleunigt, bis der nächste leere Behälter unterhalb der Transportriemen 16, 17 und dem Führungsblech 19 steht.The disks 1 are thus vertical or light inclined position individually in the respective container 3 led, the disc from disc to the Containers are moved forward by the slice width, so that one disc after the other is on the previous sets and the stack inside the container is formed. After inserting the last disc in the respective container, the feed movement of the Conveyor belts 14, 15 accelerated briefly until the next empty container below the conveyor belt 16, 17 and the guide plate 19 is.
