Description

PRODUIT ALIMENTAIRE A EMISSION D'UN SIGNAL SONORE FOOD PRODUCT WITH SOUND SIGNAL EMISSION
La présente invention concerne un produit alimentaire, notamment un produit de boulangerie ou pâtisserie, contenant un objet apte à émettre un signal sonore.The present invention relates to a food product, in particular a bakery or pastry product, containing an object capable of emitting a sound signal.
On connaît, dans le domaine de la confiserie, des friandises, notamment constituées d'oeufs en chocolat creux, à l'intérieur descruelles sont disposés des petits objets cadeaux, la plupart du temps en matière plastique, qui sont destinés à constituer des "surprises" à l'attention des enfants. Ces friandises sont formées de deux coquilles de chocolat qui sont assemblées après que l'on ait introduit entre celles-ci les objets cadeaux. Dans le domaine de la boulangerie pâtisserie, on retiendra les petits objets en porcelaine, dits "fèves des rois", que l'on glisse dans les galettes à l'époque de l'épiphanie.We know, in the confectionery sector, treats, in particular made up of hollow chocolate eggs, inside the cruals are placed small gift items, mostly plastic, which are intended to constitute "surprises "for children. These treats are made up of two chocolate shells which are assembled after the gift items have been inserted between them. In the bakery, there are small porcelain objects, called "feves des rois", which are slipped into pancakes at the time of the epiphany.
De tels objets cadeaux exercent on le sait sur les enfants un pouvoir attractif certain.As we know, such gift items exert a certain attractive power on children.
La présente invention a pour but d'améliorer ce pouvoir attractif, en proposant de disposer dans un produit alimentaire, non pas des objets inertes mais des objets aptes à émettre, dans certaines conditions, un signal sonore.The present invention aims to improve this attractive power, by proposing to have in a food product, not inert objects but objects capable of emitting, under certain conditions, a sound signal.
La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un produit alimentaire, par exemple un produit de boulangerie/pâtisserie, contenant dans sa masse, au moins un objet, caractérisé en ce que ledit objet est apte à émettre un signal sonore.The present invention thus relates to a food product, for example a bakery / pastry product, containing in its mass, at least an object, characterized in that said object is capable of emitting a sound signal.
Ledit objet est apte à émettre aussi bien un message parlant qu'un message musical. Par ailleurs, ledit objet possède une température de fusion, ou de détérioration irréversible, qui est inférieure à la température de cuisson dudit produit.Said object is capable of transmitting both a speaking message and a musical message. Furthermore, said object has a melting temperature, or irreversible deterioration, which is lower than the cooking temperature of said product.
Suivant l'invention le déclenchement du signal sonore émis par ledit objet pourra être effectué par différents moyens. Il pourra ainsi être commandé par une pression de l'utilisateur sur un bouton-poussoir.According to the invention, the triggering of the sound signal emitted by said object can be carried out by various means. It can thus be controlled by pressing the user on a push button.
De façon particulièrement intéressante, il comportera des moyens qui permettront son déclenchement lorsque l'objet passera d'un état non éclairé à un état éclairé, ou inversement. De tels moyens d'actionnement desdits objets sont particulièrement intéressants, notamment lorsqu'ils sont insérés dans des produits de boulangerie/pâtisserie. En effet, dans de telles conditions, tant que l'objet restera inséré au sein de ces produits, il se trouvera dans un état non éclairé, si bien que son signal sonore se trouvera dans un état inhibé. Cette inhibition cessera dès que l'on procédera à la découpe du produit de boulangerie/pâtisserie puisque l'objet se trouvera alors extrait du produit dans lequel il est disposé si bien qu'il se trouvera dans un état éclairé. L'objet peut alors délivrer le message sonore qu'il est destiné à reproduire, ce dernier pouvant aussi bien être un texte parlé qu'une musique, qui seront éventuellement fonction d'un événement spécifique associé au produit.In a particularly interesting manner, it will include means which will allow it to be triggered when the object passes from an unlit state to an enlightened state, or vice versa. Such means of actuating said objects are particularly advantageous, in particular when they are inserted in bakery / pastry products. Indeed, under such conditions, as long as the object remains inserted within these products, it will be in an unlit state, so that its sound signal will be in an inhibited state. This inhibition will cease as soon as the baking / pastry product is cut, since the object will then be extracted from the product in which it is placed so that it will be in an illuminated state. The object can then deliver the sound message that it is intended to reproduce, the latter being able to be both spoken text and music, which will be possibly depending on a specific event associated with the product.
On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, diverses formes d'exécution de la présente invention, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
La figure 1 est une vue schématique en coupe d'un produit de boulangerie/pâtisserie contenant, suivant l'invention, un objet apte à émettre un signal sonore.Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of a bakery / pastry product containing, according to the invention, an object capable of emitting a sound signal.
La figure 2 est un dessin schématique d'un mode de réalisation d'un module électronique apte à être utilisé suivant l'invention.FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of an embodiment of an electronic module able to be used according to the invention.
La figure 3 est un dessin schématique d'une variante de mise en oeuvre d'un module électronique apte à être utilisé suivant l'invention. La figure 4 est une vue schématique en coupe d'un autre mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.Figure 3 is a schematic drawing of an alternative embodiment of an electronic module adapted to be used according to the invention. Figure 4 is a schematic sectional view of another embodiment of the invention.
On a représenté sur la figure 1 une pâtisserie 1 à l'intérieur de laquelle a été disposé, avant cuisson, et sensiblement au coeur de celle-ci, un module ou circuit électronique 2 apte à produire un message sonore. Ce circuit 2 est constitué d'une plaquette de circuit imprimé 4 sur laquelle sont disposés une source d'énergie électrique 3 de faible volume, telle que notamment une pile du type dit bouton, des éléments électroniques 5 aptes à contenir les informations d'une mélodie ou d'un message parlé, des moyens 7 de type classique de traitement de ces informations qui sont aptes à envoyer un signal à des moyens transducteurs 9, tels que notamment un haut-parleur de type piézo. L'actionnement du module est effectué par un bouton-poussoir 11.There is shown in Figure 1 a pastry 1 inside which has been arranged, before baking, and substantially at the heart thereof, an electronic module or circuit 2 capable of producing an audible message. This circuit 2 consists of a printed circuit board 4 on which are arranged a source of electrical energy 3 of small volume, such as in particular a battery of the so-called button type, electronic elements 5 capable of containing the information of a melody or of a spoken message, means 7 of conventional type for processing this information which are capable of sending a signal to transducer means 9, such as including a piezo type speaker. The module is actuated by a push button 11.
Le circuit électronique 2 pourra éventuellement être protégé par une enveloppe fine de matière plastique, telle que notamment du polyéthylène.The electronic circuit 2 could possibly be protected by a thin envelope of plastic material, such as in particular polyethylene.
Dans une variante de mise en oeuvre de l'invention représentée de façon schématique sur la figure 3, la commande d'émission du signal sonore est effectuée par le passage du circuit d'un état non éclairé à un état éclairé ou inversement. Pour ce faire, le circuit électronique 2 comprend, comme dans le mode de mise en oeuvre représenté sur la figure 2, une source d'énergie électrique 3 et des éléments de stockage d'informations 5 aptes à recueillir les informations constituant un message sonore, des moyens 7 aptes à transformer ces informations en signaux reproductibles par un transducteur 9 constitué notamment par un haut- parleur piézo. Dans le présent mode de mise en oeuvre, le circuit comporte un système commutateur 10 qui remplace le bouton-poussoir 11 de la figure 2. Ce circuit comporte un capteur 12 qui peut être notamment constitué par une diode et qui est apte à distinguer un état éclairé, c'est-à-dire un certain niveau d'éclairement d'un état non éclairé et qui correspond à un niveau d'éclairement inférieur, le seuil de passage étant éventuellement réglable par des moyens appropriés. Ce système commutateur 10 est donc apte à envoyer un signal de commande au circuit dès que le niveau d'éclairement passe d'un domaine déterminé comme étant non éclairé à un domaine déterminé comme étant éclairé ou inversement. Ce mode de mise en oeuvre est particulièrement intéressant dans la mesure où il permet un déclenchement automatique d'un message sonore lorsque le consommateur ouvre son produit de boulangerie/pâtisserie, pour exposer l'objet sonore à la lumière.In an alternative embodiment of the invention shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, the command to transmit the sound signal is carried out by switching the circuit from an unlit state to an enlightened state or vice versa. To do this, the electronic circuit 2 comprises, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a source of electrical energy 3 and information storage elements 5 able to collect the information constituting a sound message, means 7 able to transform this information into reproducible signals by a transducer 9 constituted in particular by a piezo speaker. In the present embodiment, the circuit comprises a switch system 10 which replaces the push button 11 in FIG. 2. This circuit comprises a sensor 12 which may in particular consist of a diode and which is capable of distinguishing a state illuminated, that is to say a certain level of illumination in an unlit state and which corresponds to a lower level of illumination, the passage threshold possibly being adjustable by appropriate means. This switch system 10 is therefore able to send a control signal to the circuit as soon as the level of illumination passes from a domain determined to be unlit to a domain determined to be lit or vice versa. This mode of implementation is particularly advantageous insofar as it allows an automatic triggering of an audible message when the consumer opens his bakery / pastry product, in order to expose the audible object to light.
Les essais effectués par la demanderesse ont établi que, bien que de tels circuits électroniques sont détruits de façon irréversible lorsqu'on les dispose directement dans des fours dont la température se situe aux environs de 200°C, ces mêmes circuits, lorsqu'ils sont disposés à l'intérieur d'un produit de boulangerie/pâtisserie se trouvent protégés contre la chaleur intense du four, si bien qu'après la période de cuisson ils sont toujours en état de fonctionnement correct.The tests carried out by the applicant have established that, although such electronic circuits are irreversibly destroyed when they are placed directly in ovens whose temperature is around 200 ° C., these same circuits, when they are placed inside a bakery / pastry product are protected against the intense heat of the oven, so that after the baking period they are still in correct working order.
Il a également été constaté que cette protection était également suffisamment efficace pour permettre de réaliser un refroidissement important des produits pouvant conduire à une congélation et une surgélation de ceux-ci, c'est-à-dire des températures de l'ordre de - 30°C à -40°C, sans que les objets, et notamment les circuits électroniques disposés à l'intérieur de ces produits, ne subissent une détérioration.It has also been found that this protection is also sufficiently effective to allow significant cooling of the products which can lead to freezing and freezing thereof, that is to say temperatures of the order of - 30 ° C to -40 ° C, without the objects, and in particular the electronic circuits placed inside these products, being damaged.
Il a été constaté que, même dans le cas où l'épaisseur de la paroi d'un produit de boulangerie/pâtisserie contenant ledit objet était mince, c'est-à-dire de l'ordre d'un demi centimètre, la protection assurée à cet objet par le produit était néanmoins suffisante pour que la cuisson ou la congélation de ce produit ne conduise pas à une détérioration irréversible des objets sonores.It was found that, even in the case where the thickness of the wall of a bakery product containing said object was thin, that is to say of the order of half a centimeter, the protection provided to this object by the product was nevertheless sufficient for the cooking or freezing of this product not to lead to an irreversible deterioration of the sound objects.
On peut bien entendu, notamment pour des raisons d'hygiène disposer les objets aptes à fournir un signal sonore à l'intérieur d'un sachet, notamment en matière plastique fine et deformable qui, outre la protection hygiénique précédemment mentionnée assure également une protection de cet objet contre les salissures causées par la pâte.It is of course possible, in particular for hygienic reasons, to dispose the objects capable of providing an audible signal inside a sachet, in particular of fine and deformable plastic material which, in addition to the previously mentioned hygienic protection also provides protection of this object against dirt caused by the paste.
La présente invention est non seulement applicable à des produits de boulangerie/pâtisserie mais également à d'autres produits de nourriture.The present invention is not only applicable to bakery / pastry products but also to other food products.
On peut également suivant l'invention, ainsi que représenté sur la figure 4, disposer un module sonore 2 du type de celui représenté sur la figure 3 à l'intérieur d'un emballage 14, étanche à la lumière, et qui contient des produits de nourriture. Dans ces conditions, lorsque l'utilisateur ouvre l'emballage 14, le circuit 2 est exposé à la lumière ce qui a pour effet de déclencher le signal sonore de celui-ci.It is also possible according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 4, to have a sound module 2 of the type of that represented in FIG. 3 inside a package 14, light-tight, and which contains products of food. Under these conditions, when the user opens the packaging 14, the circuit 2 is exposed to light which has the effect of triggering the sound signal thereof.
Suivant la présente invention on pourrait bien évidemment faire appel à des objets aptes à émettre des signaux sonores mettant en oeuvre des moyens autres qu'électroniques. On pourrait ainsi faire appel à tout moyen mécanique connu, tel qu'un mouvement d'horlogerie. According to the present invention, it would obviously be possible to use objects capable of emitting sound signals using means other than electronic. One could thus use any known mechanical means, such as a clockwork movement.
