Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of packaging. She relates more particularly to a packaging which is intended for the packaging of gallinaceous (chickens, guinea fowl, cans ...), of the type consisting of a tray having a bottom bordered by side walls, possibly associated with a film plastic material coating said gallinaceous with its support tray.
  • gallinaceous chickens, guinea fowl, cans
  • This type of packaging is very widespread, especially for the packaging of whole chickens or guinea fowl. It traditionally consists of a polystyrene or cardboard tray, on which the plucked and emptied animal is placed. Generally, the gallinaceous is posed on the back; his head is cut off and his legs have been severed at the level of the lower thighs. The side walls of the tray are low relative to the height of the packaged product, so that most of it overflows above said walls. Very often, an advertising and / or informative label is affixed on the body of the animal and an attached device, called "leg cover" is positioned on its rear end, in particular on the lower thighs to hide the drumsticks and also the rump.
  • leg cover is positioned on its rear end, in particular on the lower thighs to hide the drumsticks and also the rump.
  • the whole is then coated and maintained by a transparent plastic film, of food grade, positioned by suitable mechanical means.
  • the “leg cover” device improves the presentation of the product for sale; it also protects the plastic wrapping film by preventing it from being pierced by the slightly protruding pestles.
  • the present invention provides a new type of packaging which simplifies the conditioning operations for chickens, guinea fowl or other gallinaceous animals, and which makes it possible to obtain an attractive set for the presentation for sale.
  • the packaging according to the present invention is of the type consisting of a cardboard tray having a bottom bordered by side walls whose height is less than that of the packaged gallinaceous.
  • This packaging is characterized by the fact that the side wall of the tray, opposite which is intended to be positioned the front part of the gallinaceous, has a strip-shaped extension which is adapted to cover the top of the body of the animal, and the external face of which constitutes an informative and / or advertising medium; this strip extends in the direction of the opposite side wall, up to the rear part of said gallinaceous, and it comprises, at its free end, at least one internal cutout which is intended to hang on a suitable part of the gallinaceous body, for example the breastbone or the end of the drumsticks, in order to maintain said strip in position on the body of said gallinaceous.
  • the animal can be presented for sale as is; preferably, however, the whole is coated with a transparent plastic film which makes it possible to preserve hygiene and to increase the shelf life.
  • the attachment cutout (s) make it possible to maintain the covering strip properly on the body of the animal before the operation of coating with the plastic film.
  • the covering strip is provided a plurality of internal cutouts, aligned lengthwise, which allow it to hang on the breastbone and / or the end of the gallinaceous pestles, depending on the size of the animal.
  • the outer border of the cutout (s) is attached in an arc to optimize the attachment to the breastbone or the end of the pestles; preferably, this outer border is shaped in a central arc, bordered by two lateral arcs.
  • the internal border of the cutout (s) hanging system is extended by a monobloc flap, connected by a fold line.
  • This monobloc shutter is intended to be folded over said cutout, after the attachment of the latter on the breastbone or on the end of the gallinaceous pestles; it is intended to hide or seal said cut in the event that it is not not used for hanging the banner.
  • the corresponding one-piece flap (s) preferably have a shape general which corresponds to that of the associated cutout, and they include advantageously an internal creasing line arranged to optimize the setting shape of said flap (s) on the body of the gallinaceous.
  • the free end of the covering strip is shaped as a "leg cover” device to hide the drumsticks and possibly the rump of the gallinaceous.
  • This strip may also include a transverse fold line which allows its separation into two parts: a first part which extends from the side wall of the tray which carries said strip, and a second part situated in the extension of the first , which fold line allows the folding of the second part against the first, in particular to limit the size of the trays during their empty storage; the temporary holding in position of said second strip part against the first is ensured by a point of self-adhesive glue.
  • This covering strip can also be provided with a plurality of creasing lines arranged to optimize its shaping on the body of the conditioned animal.
  • the packaging according to the invention for the packaging of a gallinaceous is consisting of a tray obtained from a blank of one-piece cardboard, suitably cut and grooved, a first embodiment of which is shown in Figure 1. Once placed in volume, the tray receives the gallinaceous and the whole is advantageously covered with a transparent plastic film to obtain the packaging illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the blank of Figure 1 is made of compact type cardboard; its internal face is coated with a plastic film, such as polyethylene, which forms an impermeable surface suitable for food contact.
  • This cardboard blank has a bottom 1 in the general shape of an isosceles trapezoid, bordered by four side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5.
  • the longitudinal walls 2 and 3 are separated from the bottom 1 by fold lines, respectively 6 and 7; they include extensions or side flaps 8 which are intended to be secured by bonding with the end walls 4 and 5 during the volume-setting process, preferably with the internal face of these.
  • the lateral end walls 4 and 5 are separated from the bottom 1 respectively by fold lines 9 and 10.
  • the end wall 4 extends from the small base of the trapezoidal bottom 1; its upper border has a notch in the form of an arc of a circle 12 which, depending on the size of the gallinaceous, allows the positioning of the rump.
  • the end wall 5 extends from the large base of the trapezoidal bottom 1; its upper edge has a strip-shaped extension 15 attached by a fold line 16 which extends substantially parallel to the fold line 10 which connects said wall 5 to the bottom 1.
  • the end walls 4 and 5 do not extend over the entire length of the large and small bases of the trapezoidal bottom so as to maintain free angles 17 which have a substantially rounded shape.
  • the monobloc strip 15 consists of a strip of cardboard which extends from the fold line 16, along the longitudinal axis 18 of the blank. As will be seen later, it is intended to cover the top of the body of the conditioned gallinaceous, to join practically the opposite end wall 4; its length is adapted accordingly, in particular according to the size of the animal.
  • the external face of this strip 15 constitutes an informative support for receiving an added label and / or direct printing. Preferably, its contours are adapted according to the information, logo and / or form of labeling desired.
  • the free end of the strip 15 is configured as a “leg cover” device 19 suitable for masking the drumsticks of the conditioned gallinaceous, and possibly its rump.
  • the “leg cover” device 19 comprises a plurality of tabs 20 juxtaposed on the end contour 21. This contour end 21 defines a fold line in an arc, and the assembly forms a sort of portion of corolla.
  • the strip 15 is in two parts 24 and 25, of substantially equivalent lengths, separated by a transverse fold line 26.
  • This fold line 26 extends parallel to the fold line 16 which connects the strip 15 to the side wall 5; to accentuate the break, it can consist of complete cuts interrupted.
  • the two parts 24 and 25 of the strip 15 have different longitudinal creasing lines 28, 29, 30, 34, 35, 36 which are arranged to allow said strip 15 to best match the shape of the packaged product.
  • an internal cutout 40 located on the longitudinal axis 18 and just in front of the “leg cover” device 19.
  • This cutout 40 is arranged, in position and in shape, to hang on a suitable part of the gallinaceous body, for example its breastbone or the end of the drumsticks, so as to maintain the strip 15 in position on the body of the animal.
  • the breastbone and the end of the pestles are parts of the gallinaceous body forming kinds of hooking members which lend themselves particularly well to the attachment of the cutout 40.
  • the corresponding attachment is produced by the external border 41 of the cutout 40, located on the side of the “leg cover” device 19.
  • this external border 41 is shaped in an arc of a circle whose center is located at the side of the tray; in this case, this cutout 41 is shaped as a central arc of a circle 42, bordered by two lateral arcs of a circle 43.
  • the internal border 44 of the cutout 40 located on the side of the container for receiving the product, is rectilinear and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 18 of the strip 15.
  • the volume of the cardboard blank illustrated in FIG. 1, in order to obtain the tray shown in FIG. 3, is carried out manually or mechanically, by gluing the external face of the side flaps 8 to the internal face of the end walls. 4 and 5.
  • the flaps 8 are secured to the end walls 4 and 5 so that the side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 are slightly flared to facilitate the positioning of the gallinaceous, and also to allow the stacking of trays, for storage.
  • a point of self-adhesive glue 44 ′ can be positioned on the internal face of the strip 15, for example on the first part 24, to allow temporary securing of the second part 25 of said strip 15 with the first part 24, after pivoting 180 ° around the line of folding 26.
  • This feature makes it possible to limit the overall size of the trays to facilitate their storage before use and to make their handling.
  • the trays are stacked one in the others as shown in Figure 4 to limit the volume of storage.
  • the tray obtained is particularly suitable for packaging a chicken, guinea fowl or can, which has been previously prepared appropriately for its presentation for sale.
  • the animal is plucked and emptied; its head is cut off and its legs are severed at the level of the pestles.
  • poultry 45 is placed side back on the bottom of the tray, its front end being arranged opposite the large end wall 5.
  • the height of the side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 is very lower than that of the conditioned product 45 so that the latter overflows well above the tray.
  • the monobloc headband 15 is folded over the body of the gallinaceous, towards the opposite end wall 4. This strip 15 envelops practically completely the top of the animal's body and the device 19 comes to position itself on the rear end of said gallinaceous, hiding its drumsticks and rump.
  • the end cutout 40 is manipulated to hang on the breastbone or on the end of the animal's pestles in order to keep the assembly in position.
  • the tabs of the ends of the “cover-tabs” device 19 are arranged and slid under one another to form an aesthetic unit.
  • the animal can be presented for sale as is; preferably all the same, a final operation consists in coating the gallinaceous 45 and the tray, in a conventional manner, with a transparent plastic film 46, shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3.
  • the monobloc strip 15 whose external face is used as a support informative and the end of which forms a “leg cover” arrangement is positioned smoothly and reliably; this packaging structure facilitates the packaging of this kind of product and offers a very comprehensive overview pleasant.
  • the cardboard blank illustrated in FIG. 5 makes it possible to obtain a slightly different packaging tray in its general presentation.
  • the parts common to those described above retain the same references to facilitate understanding.
  • the one-piece strip 15 extends from the upper end of the large end wall 5.
  • This strip 15 is divided in two parts 24 and 25 juxtaposed, separated by a transverse fold line 26; the free end of the second part 25 is shaped as a “leg cover” device 19 with a hooking cutout 40.
  • the “leg cover” device 19 is simply consisting of two side flaps 47; we also notice the particular contours of the strip 15, with the internal crease lines 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55, adapted to optimize the covering of the top of the gallinaceous.
  • the volume of the tray and the packaging of the poultry are carried out in a manner identical to that described in relation to the embodiment previous.
  • Figure 6 illustrates another possible embodiment of a cardboard blank for obtaining a packaging container according to the present invention.
  • the parts common to those described above retain the same references so as to facilitate understanding.
  • a “tab cover” device 19 is arranged at the free end of the strip 15.
  • the general shape of the cutouts 40 ', 40 "and 40”' corresponds to the shape of the cutouts 40 described in connection with the two previous embodiments; however, in the embodiment of Figure 6, the three hanging cutouts 40 ', 40 "and 40”' may have slightly different shapes from each other, to take account of the anatomical differences of a caliber of animal to another.
  • the 40 ', 40 "and 40”' cutouts will be used depending on their positioning relative to the breast or the end of the animal's pestles. A single cut can be used to secure it, either on the breastbone or on the end of the drumsticks; but it is also possible to envisage using two of said cutouts 40 ', 40 "and 40” ", to ensure the hanging of the strip 15 both on the breastbone and also on the end of the gallinaceous pestles.
  • These one-piece shutters 56 ', 56 “and 56”' are connected by a fold line at the level of the internal edge 44 of the cutouts 40 ', 40 "and 40'''; they are intended to be folded over said cutouts , once the attachment is made to the body of the gallinaceous; in the case where the cutout 40 ', 40 "or 40”' is not used to ensure this attachment, the adjoining flap 56 ', 56 "or 56”' comes to hide it entirely.
  • These flaps 56 ′, 56 ′′ and 56 ′′ ’ improve the aesthetics of the packaging; they ensure the continuity of the informative or advertising marking on the external face of the strip 15, and they also make it possible to cover the parts of wishbone or pestles capable of piercing the plastic coating wire.
  • a transverse creasing line 57 is arranged on the monobloc flaps 56 ′, 56 "and 56” ’to optimize their shaping on the body of the animal.
