Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers for carrying hot food, in particular pizzas and the like.
  • the containers for carrying away food that are currently in use traditionally consist of boxes made of cardboard or of a similar material, having a base and a lid connected to the base in such a way that it can be opened and re-closed.
  • the side wall of the box is usually provided with breather openings for outflow of the steam that is developed by the pizza during transportation.
  • the said side openings are, however, inadequate for ensuring effective and complete exit of the steam, the natural tendency of which is evidently upwards, the steam being intercepted and condensing against the lid of the box.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • the above purpose is achieved by providing a container of the type specified at the beginning of the present description, the main characteristic of which is defined in the ensuing Claim 1.
  • the arrangement of the breather openings on the lid of the container instead of on the side walls, enables the steam, which is generated by the pizza or the like inside the container during transportation, to come out of the container effectively in a natural way, with an appreciable reduction of phenomena of condensation on the walls of the container, and hence of contamination and organoleptic degrading of the pizza.
  • the presence of raised parts projecting from the lid makes it possible to maintain the above effect unaltered also in the case where the container is transported stacked together with other identical containers.
  • number 1 designates, as a whole, a container according to the invention for carrying hot pizzas and the like, the said container consisting in a box made of cardboard or of a similar material obtained from a single dinked and creased plane plate.
  • the box 1 which in the example illustrated has a generally quadrangular shape, comprises a base 2 with a bottom wall 33 surrounded by walls projecting at right angles upwards, namely, side walls 4, a front wall 5 and a rear wall 6, and a lid 3 articulated to the top side of the rear wall 6 of the base 2 in such a way that it can turn between the closed position, represented in Figure 1 , and the open position, represented in Figure 2.
  • the front wall 5 has a double thickness and is formed centrally with an elongated receptacle 7 designed for engagement of a tongue 8 which projects from the front side of the lid 3 for retention thereof in the closed position, in the way that is more clearly visible in Figure 1.
  • the side walls 4 have, at their respective top edges, pairs of flaps 9 which are folded parallel to the plane of the bottom wall 3 of the base 2, and between which respective flaps 10 directed upwards in the plane of said side walls 4 project.
  • the lid 3 is formed, at its side margins, with respective flaps 11, which are in turn provided with respective folded end tabs 12, normally set in the condition represented in Figures 1, 3 and 4 and in Figure 2 for the left-hand flap 11, with reference to the drawing.
  • the right-hand flap 11 in said drawing is instead represented in a condition prior to its final placing, during assembly of the box 1.
  • the flaps 11 with the corresponding end tabs 12 are folded towards the inside of the lid 3 and onto the top face of the latter, in such a way as to define two elongated tubular raised parts 13 with a substantially triangular cross section.
  • two tongues 14 are provided which project centrally from the free edges of the marginal tabs 12 of the flaps 11 and which are inserted through corresponding slits 15 present in the lid 3.
  • the conformation of the tongues 14, one of which may be seen in greater detail in Figure 3, is such that their engagement inside the slits 15 is substantially irreversible.
  • the lid 3 is moreover formed with a plurality of slits 16, arranged, for instance, like spokes, as in the case of the example illustrated, which define respective breather openings.
  • the steam produced during use by the pizza or the like inserted inside the container 1 is able to come out effectively and naturally upwards, appreciably reducing the formation of condensate on the inner face of the lid 3, and consequently reducing any risk of degradation due to hydration of the pizza itself.
  • the tubular raised parts 13 enable, during use, positioning, on the lid 3 of the box 1, of a similar or identical box, which is shown partially and is designated by 1' in Figure 4, in such a way that the two boxes are stacked one on top of the other.
  • the base of the box 1' set at the top is thus kept at a distance from the lid 3 of the underlying box 1, and any possible obstruction of the breather openings 15 is in this way prevented.
  • the side flaps 10 in this case conveniently act as arrest sides for lateral containment of the overlying box 1'.
  • the base 2 of the box 1 may conveniently be formed integrally with a circular dish 19, which is formed integrally with the bottom wall 33 by simple pressure forming, and the circumferential edge of which is joined to the remaining part of the bottom wall 33 of the base 2 conveniently by means of a pre-dinked perimetral line 20 designed to render extremely convenient the separation of said dish from the base 2.
  • the dish 19, which is designed to enable the user to consume at his own convenience the pizza previously housed in the container 1, can be formed with a series of ribs 21 in relief, which are also made by pressure forming and which have the function of keeping the pizza at a distance from the bottom 33 of the base 2 during transportation.
  • the container designated as a whole by 101, is also provided with breather slits 16, which are present only on the lid 3, and said lid 3 is also formed with a pair of integral raised parts which are set at a distance from one another and which, during use, have the function of supports for a similar box 101' ( Figure 8), which is stacked on top of the lid 3.
  • the said raised parts designated by 23, consist of a pair of elongated tubular elements, in this case having a generally quadrangular cross section, and are defined by flaps 24, 25, 26 which are folded towards the outside (instead of towards the inside as in the previous case) of the lid 3.
  • the end flaps 24 are in turn provided with respective tongues 28 which, in the closed condition of the lid 3 with respect to the base 2, engage inside corresponding slits 27 formed between the side walls 4 of said base and the corresponding flaps 9.
  • the sides for lateral arrest of the box 101' stacked on top of the box 101 are formed, in the present case, by dinked tabs 29 of the flaps 25 of the tubular raised parts 23, which project upwards parallel to the side walls 4 of the base 2.
