Definitions

  • the container system also has the advantage that it is reusable, so that no packaging waste arises.
  • the container system can be faster handle, since a single lid does not have a kind of vacuum packaging on the Individual container must be pressed.
  • the container system can be advantageous in space-saving sizes can be produced for all freezers and freezer rooms.
  • Snap hooks should be designed such that they slide easily over the Edge areas of the individual containers can be moved so that a selective It is possible to release individual containers under the additional cover. It means that even in the preferred embodiment with such snap hooks, the advantages of Invention come into its own.
  • the conical individual containers are filled with cooked or raw food Stop of the lower individual cover filled, possibly covered with foil and with the lower, inner individual cover closed.
  • the outer additional cover will sliding in the sliding guide over the individual cover up to a stop pushed, and tightly closes all departments of the container system.
  • the one-piece object can be continuously opposite Have rails, the opposite grooves for receiving the additional cover and for slidably guiding the additional cover over the individual covers exhibit.
  • This preferred embodiment has the advantage of being relatively simple structured additional cover can be used.
  • the additional cover can be profiled structures, preferably in shape of embossed or embossed folds or ribs on the outside, so that the bottom surfaces of the containers find a secure hold on the additional cover.
  • the Additional cover can only be operated on one side with the handle 21 and is on the opposite side locked by a stop bar 24 in its end position. How can be clearly seen in the drawing, by moving the additional cover 1 the contents of a single container 6 are released with the aid of the handle 21, while the content of the other individual container 6 remains under lock and key. While for example the content of a container 6 with the auxiliary cover 1 half open by slightly selective heating of the individual container to the container system can be removed, the content of the other individual container 6 remains from this Measure untouched and can be taken immediately after taking the food out of the a single container 6, for example in a freezer or in a freezer be deferred.
  • the additional cover in this embodiment has recessed into the additional cover Folds 19, which correspond to the outer contour of a floor structure 27 with a precise fit.
  • the additional cover 1 when the additional cover 1 is removed from one of the individual covers 2, the protrudes spherical segment-shaped surface of the handle 18 from the cover plane of the Single cover out. Due to the spherical section-shaped design of the handle-shaped bulge 17 of the individual cover 2 slides when the Additional cover 1, the additional cover with its starting edge 30 on the bulge 17 and presses the single cover down towards the support 15 of the Single container 6.
  • the bearing surface 15 can have a circumferential groove 16, which is either a sealing element takes up or engages in an annular approach of the individual cover 2.
  • the container system according to the invention forms one in this embodiment compact container that is stored, transported, frozen or shockproof and safe can be exposed to other loads without the additional cover being locked 1 the individual covers 2 release the contents of the individual containers.
  • Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a container system according to an alternative Embodiment of the invention.
  • the main difference to Fig. 1 is that no stop bar 24 is provided, but the additional cover 1 only in two Parallel grooves 7 of the side rails 22, 23 is held.
  • the same Basic concept in this alternative embodiment has the advantage that the Additional cover 1 is displaceable so that no order during storage or must be observed when freezing the food, since either the Individual container 25 or the individual container 26 while locking the other Container can be loaded or emptied. To do this, the single cover 1 is either moved in the direction of arrow A or in direction of arrow B.
  • the lateral rails 22, 23 at least 15 mm from the side walls of the individual containers 6 out.
  • the container systems can be mounted directly on the side rails in the standardized interiors of the convection ovens in commercial kitchens and in the catering trade be used.
  • Twelve containers 30 cm high, 60 cm wide and 80 cm in length can be stacked on the same pallet height.
  • six Containers 30 cm high, 60 cm wide and 120 cm long would also have space on a pallet height of 180 cm, while only four containers can be accommodated at the same pallet height if the height is 45 cm and the width is 80 cm and the length is 120 cm.
  • Fig. 12 shows a solution in which the additional cover can be popped up on a container in a time-saving manner, since it instead of Guide grooves snap hooks 12 and 13, which when attaching the Spread the additional cover on the container at the parallel edge sections 10, 11 and after reaching the end position of the snap hooks 12, 13 the additional cover lock, i.e. the additional cover can be easily moved along the parallel one Edge sections 10 and 11 of the container can be moved and reused pop up on the next container after cleaning.
  • 13 shows one Top view of an additional cover 1 with snap hooks 12, 13 and partially visible edge areas 10 and 11 of the container.
