Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of packaging and it more particularly relates to a device for packaging sliced food products.
  • Packaging devices of this type are already known as described in document EP-505 294 which include a carrier sheet, usually flat, clean to receive slices arranged in overlapping relationship partial in a given direction.
  • Such devices are used in particular for the presentation and packing slices of smoked meat or fish smoked, including smoked salmon.
  • the backing sheet is usually a cardboard sheet of which one side is icy and receives the slices of product.
  • interleaved sheets are generally made of plastic which are each arranged between two neighboring slices to facilitate their mutual separation.
  • the assembly formed by the support sheet and the slices of product is usually placed in a package, which can whether or not under vacuum, and which includes a receptacle in which is placed the support sheet and the slices of product and a transparent cover sheet whose edge is sealingly connected to the peripheral edge of the receptacle.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to overcome the disadvantages supra.
  • It aims in particular to provide a packaging device of the kind previously defined which facilitates the maintenance of slices of product, particularly when presented on the shelves.
  • the invention also aims to provide a packaging device of this kind that can be placed in a position usually vertically, without the product slices being able to slide on each other.
  • the invention proposes for this purpose a packaging device for kind defined in the introduction, in which the support sheet includes generally parallel cuts between them which extend from one edge of the carrier sheet to define a plurality of deformable tongues, capable of to be separated each from the plane of the support sheet for facilitate the separation of one tranche from the other tranches.
  • the support sheet comprises deformable tongues, separated by cuts, which facilitates the introduction slices and also allows them to be separated and seize more easily.
  • the sheet support includes reliefs to promote the attachment of slices and prevent them from slipping.
  • these reliefs are parts in punctum forming a point.
  • the tabs extend in one direction generally perpendicular to the edge of the support. But, they can alternatively extend in one direction oblique to form a chosen, different value angle at a right angle to the edge of the support.
  • the tabs advantageously have a free end forming grip tab.
  • the edge of the support, from which the cutouts are formed is preferably a longitudinal edge.
  • the support sheet is a plastic sheet of food quality.
  • PP polypropylenes
  • PET polyesters
  • the device of the invention advantageously comprises, in in addition, a receptacle for containing the support sheet and sliced products, and having a border in protrusion, as well as a cover sheet connected in such a way tight to the edge of the receptacle to enclose the sheet support and sliced products.
  • Figure 1 shows a leaf support 10 according to the invention, which is intended to support slices of food products arranged in relation partial recovery in a given direction. It's about especially sliced smoked meat or smoked fish, particular smoked salmon.
  • the support sheet 10 is of a shape general rectangular and is bounded by two edges opposite longitudinal lines 12 and 14 as well as by two edges opposite transversals 15 and 16. It could alternatively affect a different shape, especially an oval shape or rounded.
  • the support sheet is formed in a transparent or translucent plastic material, food grade, preferably polypropylene or polyester. Its thickness is usually of the order of 5/10 of millimeter.
  • cuts 18, in the example of four which are generally parallel to one another, and which extend to a depth P more than half the width L of the support sheet 10. In the example, this depth P corresponds substantially two-thirds of the width L of the support sheet.
  • each of the tabs 18 is extended by a free end 24 to form a grip tab and that can be folded transversely.
  • reliefs 26 constituted here by parts punctured forming a point, as seen on the Figure 2 and the cross-section of Figure 6.
  • reliefs are arranged online on different parts of the support sheet 10, including on each of the tabs 20 and on part 22.
  • each of the reliefs form a tip that is turned towards the edge transversal 15 which, as will be seen later, is intended to be facing up in the presentation position of the packaging.
  • FIG. 3 shows the sheet support 10 with a complete package comprising a receptacle 30 and a cover sheet 32.
  • the receptacle 30 is made of a plastic material and is formed by everything appropriate method, in particular by thermoforming or injection.
  • This receptacle has a rectangular flat bottom 34 surrounded by a projecting edge 36 on which is tightly connected around the perimeter of the cover sheet 32.
  • the latter is advantageously a sheet in transparent plastic material which is heat-sealed on the receptacle 30 to form a sealed package, under vacuum or no, allowing the product to be placed under a modified atmosphere.
  • the support sheet 10 On which are placed slices 38 of food product, disposed in partial recovery relationship in a given direction, here in a direction parallel to the edges longitudinal members 12 and 14 of the support sheet 10.
  • cuts facilitates the introduction of slices 38, which allows them to be separated and grasped more easily.
  • the presence of the reliefs 26 facilitates the hooking slices that remain in a given position, even when the packaging is placed in a position generally vertically, as shown in Figure 3. Indeed, as the reliefs 26 have their point directed towards the upper edge 15, the slices are thus hung on the sheet support and are not likely to slip.
  • tabs 24 facilitates the separation of slices from each other, as shown by arrow F in Figure 4. effect of lifting the first tab 20-1 to remove the first slice 38, and so on with the others tongues.
  • the flexibility of the plastic material allows deform each of the tabs away from the plane of the support sheet.
  • FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of a support sheet 10.
  • the latter differs essentially from the support sheet of the Figure 1 in that the transverse edges 15 and 16 are of curved general shape and that the cutouts 18, as well as the tabs 20 extend in a direction generally oblique to the longitudinal edge 12.
  • each of the reliefs 26 is, there also realized in the form of a punctured part, forming point, which forms an acute angle A to the plane of the support sheet.
  • This angle is advantageously between 65 ° and 75 °.
  • the structure of the support sheet is likely to numerous variants, particularly as regards the implantation and the orientation of the tongues, as well as the shape and dimensions of the support sheet.
  • the reliefs are not necessarily obtained by punctures in the thickness of the support sheet. he can these are other types of reliefs, in particular bosses.
  • the invention finds a general application to the packaging of sliced food products, especially slices smoked meat or fish, or the like.
