Definitions

  • This invention refers to a package for tomatoes, particularly for a variety of small size tomatoes that are notably spherical in shape, package that maintains the tomatoes as isolated units, in optimum conditions of preservation and transport.
  • Tomatoes are normally marketed in cases similar to those used for different types of fruit and vegetables, and in the specific case of the variety of tomatoes that we have previously mentioned, because of their small size they are marketed in small baskets, generally made out of plastic, where the tomatoes are placed in bulk, so that there is contact between them, and the tomatoes that occupy the lower level, which is on the bottom of the basket, must support the weight of the tomatoes on top of them, which evidently has a negative impact on their conditions of preservation, substantially shortening the period during which the preservation is acceptable.
  • the package that the invention proposes satisfactorily solves the previously described problem because, as previously mentioned, it establishes individual lodgings for the tomatoes, where they are perfectly isolated and protected.
  • the package is materialised in a laminar body, plastic in nature, preferably obtained by injection, in which there are two sectors connected together by a hinge, so that the two sectors are able to adopt a position on the same plane, when the package itself is stored and when it is filled, and from this position one of the sectors fold over the other, to establish a closed position in which the tomatoes are protected and adequately ventilated.
  • One of these two sectors has a series of cells, approximately semi-spherical, communicated at the level of the mouth and designed to receive each one a tomato.
  • the other sector of the body configures a kind of rectangular housing, adaptable at the mouth to the first sector after being folded along the hinge that connects both sectors, with the particularity that from the bottom of the housing configured by this second sector a series of protuberances emerge, tronco-conical in shape, which act as separating supports that when the package is closed prevent this sector from being deformed as it acts as a lid, when packages are stacked and from the weight of the packages placed on top of it.
  • the sector provided with cells has linear extensions on its three free edges, which affect only part of the edges and which in collaboration with the hinge itself, fitted with two parallel folding lines, determine a certain distance between the sector that functions as the base and the sector that functions as the lid, which at the same time determines marginal slits to ventilate the inside of the package, ventilation that is also favoured by the low walls that connect the cells together and because of the inexistence of cells in the sector that functions as the lid.
  • one of the two sectors has small sunken parts on its edges and the other has protuberances in the same positions that can be pressed into them to establish a stable closure for the package, at the same time as one of the free vertices of the two sectors has tabs that are positioned slightly off centre from each other, which makes the package easy to open by hand.
  • the package for tomatoes that the invention proposes is structured from a laminar body (1) obtained by injection of preferably transparent plastic material, in which a sector (2) is defined that functions as the base, and a sector (3) is defined that functions as a lid, connected together by a hinge defined by two parallel folding lines that are close together (4-4'), which allow sector (3) to fold over sector (2) from their initial position on the same plane as shown in figure 2.
  • sector (2) which functions as the base
  • cells (5) in the form of spherical helmets, with an approximately semi-spherical configuration, adequately sized for the tomatoes to be received, with a small tronco-conical projection (6), which functions as a leg, and it is foreseen that a pair of these cells (5') is directly communicated together, forming a double cell capable of receiving, for example, instead of two tomatoes, three slightly smaller ones.
  • This housing shape of the lid (3) together with the communication between the cells (5) by means of low walls (9) at the level of their mouth, and together with the existence in the marginal areas that correspond to the free edges of both the base (2) and the lid (3), of linear protuberances (10) that, when they face each other, form slits with access to the inside of the package, provide for the ventilation of the product that is packed inside, that is, the ventilation of the tomatoes.
  • the package to maintain the closed position represented in figure 1 and be stable, has in one of the sectors, for example in the base sector (3) marginal sunken sections (11) preferable on its three free edges, which with the collaboration of the additional pivots (12) that exist in the sector (3) that functions as a lid, providing a male-female coupling that provides the stable closure of the lid (3) over the base (2).
  • the sector (3) that functions as a lid also has a slightly sunken part (16), preferably circular, concentrical to one of the protuberances (8), with a considerable diameter as not very deep, so that the package can easily be labelled.
