Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne des cloches de produits laitiers, notamment des cloches de beurre ou de fromage.The present invention relates to milk product bells, including butter or cheese bells.
On connaít déjà des cloches de beurre comportant un socle sur lequel du beurre est disposé en forme de motte et est recouvert par une coiffe en un matériau rigide qui le protège de l'extérieur pour le conserver pendant qu'il n'est pas consommé. Ces cloches présentent l'avantage de permettre un accès facile au beurre ou au fromage qu'elles contiennent et notamment une découpe du produit et un prélèvement aisé, contrairement à des pots dans lesquels la découpe n'est pas simple.We already know butter bells with a base on which butter is arranged in the form of a clod and is covered by a cap in a rigid material which protects it from the outside to keep it for that it is not consumed. These bells have the advantage of allowing a easy access to the butter or cheese they contain and in particular a cutting the product and easy sampling, unlike jars in which cutting is not simple.
Toutefois, afin de pouvoir soulever la coiffe sans difficulté et ne pas abímer les produits laitiers qu'elle recouvre, le produit laitier et la coiffe sont à distance l'un de l'autre. Cela ne permet pas d'utiliser au mieux le volume de la coiffe, une grande partie de ce volume étant inoccupée.However, in order to be able to lift the cover without difficulty and not damage the dairy products it covers, the dairy product and the cap are distance from each other. This does not make the best use of the volume of the cap, a large part of this volume being unoccupied.
La présente invention vise une cloche de ce genre qui permet d'utiliser une plus grande partie du volume de la coiffe pour y mettre le produit laitier tout en conservant la facilité d'accès. La cloche de produit laitier suivant l'invention peut en outre être fabriquée et commercialisée à grande échelle à moindre coût en raison de ce gain de place.The present invention relates to a bell of this kind which allows to use a greater part of the volume of the cap to put the product there dairy while maintaining ease of access. The next dairy bell the invention can also be manufactured and marketed on a large scale at lower cost due to this space saving.
Suivant l'invention, la cloche de produit laitier, qui comporte un socle au dessus duquel se trouve une coiffe, cette coiffe ayant une paroi supérieure et au moins une paroi latérale, est caractérisée en ce que du produit laitier d'un seul tenant est en contact avec la paroi supérieure et la ou les paroi(s) latérale(s), en ce qu'il est prévu une couche d'air entre le produit laitier et le socle et en ce que la coiffe est en un matériau déformable élastiquement.According to the invention, the dairy product bell, which includes a base above which is a cap, this cap having an upper wall and at least one side wall, is characterized in that dairy product in one piece is in contact with the upper wall and the wall (s) side (s), in that there is a layer of air between the dairy product and the base and in that the cap is made of an elastically deformable material.
En prévoyant ainsi d'emplir la coiffe de produit laitier pour la majeure partie de son volume, à l'exception de la couche d'air, qui se trouve maintenant entre le produit laitier et le socle, alors qu'auparavant l'air se trouvait entre les parois et le produit laitier, on utilise au mieux le volume de la coiffe. En outre, en prévoyant la combinaison de la couche d'air et de la coiffe en un matériau déformable élastiquement, on s'assure de pouvoir sortir le beurre de la coiffe et de pouvoir ainsi présenter une motte intacte de produit laitier directement sur le socle. En outre, le fait que le produit laitier soit en contact avec la paroi supérieure et la ou les paroi(s) latérale(s) de la coiffe permet d'éviter une oxydation du produit qui aurait lieu avec l'air qui serait sinon présent. On obtient ainsi une meilleure conservation du produit laitier.By thus planning to fill the cap with dairy product for the major part of its volume, except for the layer of air, which is now between the dairy product and the base, whereas previously the air between the walls and the dairy product, we use the volume of the cap. In addition, by providing for the combination of the air layer and the cap in an elastically deformable material, we make sure that we can take out the cap butter and thus be able to present an intact clod of product dairy directly on the base. In addition, the fact that the dairy product is in contact with the upper wall and the side wall (s) of the cover avoids oxidation of the product which would take place with the air which would otherwise present. This gives better preservation of the dairy product.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, il est prévu un opercule au contact de la surface inférieure du produit laitier, entre le produit laitier et la couche d'air. On obtient ainsi une bonne isolation du produit laitier vis-à-vis de l'air, retardant ainsi l'oxydation du produit laitier.According to an improvement of the invention, a cover is provided. in contact with the lower surface of the dairy product, between the dairy product and the layer of air. This gives good insulation of the dairy product from air, thus delaying the oxidation of the dairy product.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, la paroi supérieure de la cloche est bombée vers le haut. Ce bombage facilite la poussée du produit laitier vers le bas sur le socle, lorsque l'on souhaite sortir le produit laitier de la coiffe, la course de déplacement de la paroi supérieure de haut en bas étant ainsi plus longue que dans le cas d'une paroi plane, un matériau moins déformable, et donc plus rigide, pouvant alors être utilisé.According to an improvement of the invention, the upper wall of the bell is curved upwards. This bending facilitates the pushing of the product down on the base, when you want to take the milk product out of the cover, the travel of movement of the upper wall from top to bottom being thus longer than in the case of a flat wall, less material deformable, and therefore more rigid, which can then be used.
De préférence, la coiffe s'évase vers le bas. Après que le produit laitier a été poussé vers le bas, non seulement il se décolle de la paroi latérale de la coiffe, mais il s'en écarte de sorte que la coiffe est facile à soulever.Preferably, the cap flares down. After the product slag was pushed down, not only did it peel off from the side wall of the cap, but it deviates from it so that the cap is easy to lift.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, l'air est remplacé par un gaz inerte, ce qui permet de retarder encore plus la dégradation oxydative du produit laitier, lors de sa conservation.According to an improvement of the invention, the air is replaced by a inert gas, which further delays oxidative degradation of the dairy product, when stored.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, des moyens de fixation détachables du socle à la coiffe sont prévus, notamment des moyens d'encliquetage.According to an improvement of the invention, fixing means detachable from the base to the cap are provided, in particular means latching.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, les moyens de fixation peuvent comporter des moyens d'indication de première ouverture destinés à indiquer au consommateur que ces moyens de fixation n'ont encore jamais été détachés du socle, avant la première ouverture de la cloche, et qui indiquent au consommateur, après la première ouverture, que la cloche a déjà été ouverte au moins une fois. Ces moyens peuvent se présenter par exemple sous la forme d'une languette qui se casse automatiquement à la première ouverture des moyens de fixation.According to an improvement of the invention, the fixing means may include means for indicating the first opening intended for indicate to the consumer that these means of attachment have never been detached from the base, before the first opening of the bell, and which indicate to the consumer, after the first opening, that the bell has already been open at least once. These means can be presented for example in the form of a tongue which automatically breaks at the first opening of the fixing means.
On décrit maintenant des modes de réalisation préférés de
l'invention, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple, en se référant au dessin
dans lequel
A la figure 1, la cloche C de beurre est constituée d'un socle 1 et
d'une coiffe 2. Du beurre 3 a été coulé dans la coiffe 2 sens dessus dessous et
s'y est solidifié en forme de tronc de pyramide après refroidissement. La coiffe
2 qui est remise dans la position de la figure comporte une paroi 4 supérieure
et des parois 5 latérales.In FIG. 1, the bell C of butter consists of a
Des inscriptions, concernant le contenu de la cloche, sont imprimées
ou écrites sur ces parois 4, 5 supérieure et/ou latérales, en étant lisibles
lorsque le socle est en bas et la coiffe en haut.Inscriptions concerning the contents of the bell are printed
or written on these
Les parois 5 latérales sont évasées vers le bas, en formant un angle par rapport à la verticale d'environ 15°. Cet angle peut être compris entre 1° et 20°.The side walls are flared downward, forming an angle about the vertical of about 15 °. This angle can be between 1 ° and 20 °.
Le beurre 3 s'est solidifié dans la coiffe 2 jusqu'à un certain niveau,
en laissant une couche 12 d'air entre la surface 6 inférieure du beurre et le
plan dans lequel se trouvent les bords 7 de la coiffe, bords 7 qui, en position
de fermeture de la cloche, viennent en contact avec le socle 1.The
La couche 12 d'air a une épaisseur de quelques millimètres, entre 2
et 20 mm, de préférence 10 mm. La hauteur totale du beurrier étant ici de 5,3
cm, environ 80 - 90% du volume de la coiffe est rempli de beurre.The
Le socle 1 est en un matériau alimentaire. Il peut être en le même
matériau que la coiffe 2 ou être en un matériau rigide comme du bois par
exemple. La coiffe 2 est en polypropylène, qui est un matériau alimentaire
adapté à la conservation du beurre, avec étiquette polypropylène aluminisée
déposée sur les parois extérieures de la cloche, qui fait barrière à la lumière et
évite l'oxydation du produit, et assurant ainsi sa meilleure conservation. Tout
autre matériau déformable élastiquement compatible avec le produit laitier
contenu dans la cloche C peut être utilisé. On entend par déformable
élastiquement que la paroi 4 supérieure peut être déformée sur une certaine
distance de haut en bas par pression sur le dessus de la cloche.The
La paroi 4 supérieure est bombée en ayant sa convexité tournée vers
le haut. Ce bombage peut avoir la forme d'une calotte sphérique (c'est le cas à
la figure 1, où les parois 5 latérales ont des dimensions identiques, avec une
base carrée) ou ellipsoïdale (dans le cas d'une base rectangulaire ou ovale) ou
encore cylindrique (dans le cas d'une base carrée comme rectangulaire ou
ovale).The upper wall 4 is curved with its convexity facing
the top. This bending can have the shape of a spherical cap (this is the case with
Figure 1, where the

bords 7 venant s'encliqueter dans un rebord d'encliquetage du socle 1.In the butter storage state, the
Lorsque l'on souhaite consommer le beurre ou le produit laitier, on
pose l'ensemble (la cloche), coiffe et socle fixés l'un à l'autre, sur une table ou
un support quelconque (la main par exemple) et on appuie sur la paroi 4
supérieure de manière à chasser le beurre vers le bas sur le socle 1. On
détache ensuite la coiffe 2 du socle 1 par désencliquetage et on obtient une
motte de beurre prête à être consommée sur le socle 1.When you want to consume the butter or the dairy product, you
place the assembly (the bell), cap and base fixed to each other, on a table or
any support (hand for example) and we press the wall 4
upper so as to chase the butter down on the
