Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a package for dried pasta, arranged in a single layer, particularly but not exclusively intended for long pasta, wound around itself in the shapes commonly called nests or bundles or similar.
  • Said package is of the type comprising a flattened parallelepiped container in which two large, quadrilateral main walls, placed opposite each other, are spaced apart, connected and stiffened together at their edges by a plurality of small side walls.
  • substantially parallelepiped box containers are used, which are particularly flattened, since, to keep the pasta in the desired single layer arrangement, they must be only slightly higher than the height of the single layer itself.
  • packages of this type require particular care during handling and storing operations, considering that the "resting" position on one of the larger walls is the position in which they remain stable: in particular, when they are placed on the shop shelves, these packages are normally stacked one on top of another up to a height which guarantees good stability.
  • Another way of limiting the risk of crushing was to reduce the size of the window so as to reduce the incidence of this weakening factor of the package: it is easy to understand that this choice is not appreciated from a commercial point of view.
  • FR 1 507 422 discloses a prior art package in accordance with the preamble of appended claim 1.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is to create a package for dried pasta of the so-called nest or bundle type, arranged in a single layer, capable of overcoming, simply, effectively and economically, all the above-mentioned drawbacks of the known art.
  • said cross-section is substantially a right-angled trapezium.
  • a package for dried pasta in particular the type arranged in a single layer in nests or bundles 12, is generally indicated with 10.
  • the package 10 comprises a container 10a, substantially a flattened parallelepiped box, with two opposite large, quadrilateral main walls, spaced apart form one another, connected and stiffened together at their edges by a plurality of small side walls 18, 20, 22, 24.
  • the package 10 is preferably manufactured in cardboard for use in the food industry.
  • one of said side walls of the container 10a for example the side wall 18, has a greater width than the width of the side wall 20, placed opposite it, whereby said container 10a has a substantially trapezoid cross-section.
  • said cross-section is a right-angled trapezium and, in the container 10a, the main wall 14 is perpendicular to the above-mentioned side walls 18 and 20, while the opposite main wall 16 is inclined on them.
  • the width of the side wall 20 (shortest base of the right-angled trapezium) is equal to or slightly greater than the width of the single layer of dried pasta to be positioned inside the package 10 of the present invention.
  • the two remaining side walls 22 and 24 are equal and have a right-angled trapezium shape.
  • the main wall 16 is provided with a central, rectangular opening 26, closed by means of a transparent film. Moreover, said main wall 16 is provided with a weakening line 28a, which delimits a substantially rectangular portion 28 and which constitutes a so-called easy opening area in said main wall 16.
  • Said portion 28 comprises an appendix 30, preferably with an isosceles trapezium shape, which is folded over the side wall 18, where it is delimited by weakening lines.
  • said appendix 30 is further provided with a tongue 32 which, when pulled, separates said appendix from the side wall 18.
  • the side wall 18 is provided with a slot 34 where the tongue 32 is inserted when the package is closed, and where the tongue 32 is held in place by the substantially elastic spring-back, caused by the shape memory of the two opposite sides of the slot 34.
  • a septum 36 which, with the main wall 16, defines a space 38 suitable to contain and hold a layer of nests or bundles of dried pasta.
  • the septum 36 creates, with the main wall 16, a substantially parallelepiped space where the single layer of pasta is arranged and remains stable.
  • the septum 36 is preferably elastically thrust towards the main wall 16, in other words it is sprung towards said wall.
  • one of the larger sides of the substantially rectangular septum 36 is bound, at one of its larger side, to the larger side 16a of the main wall 16 which forms, with the side wall 18, a corner of the container 10a.
  • the septum 36 and the side wall 18 are one single piece and are separated from one another by a folding line 42, having a series of slits on its length.
  • the package 10 for foodstuffs having an elongated shape, particularly for nests and bundles of pasta, according to the present invention, is conveniently prepared from a cardboard precut blank 50, as illustrated for example in figure 3 .
  • the septum is also preferably formed as an integral part of said precut blank 50 where, for this purpose, an "additional" portion 56 is envisaged, associated to the portion 18 (side wall 18) from which it is separated by a folding line 56a.
  • this folding line 56a makes it possible for the respective portion 56 to be elastically moved, in one direction or another, around the line itself; for this reason, in the package of this invention, said folding line 56a substantially constitutes a means to elastically push the septum 36 towards the main wall 16.
  • said septum 36 can be structurally independent from the precut blank 50, and be positioned in the package 10 at a later stage, with provisions still being made for suitable means to elastically thrust it towards the main wall 16.
  • the package 10 of the present invention can be safely and stably rested on its side wall 18 (standing position), as well as on one of its main walls (lying-down position).
  • the final consumer raises the tongue 32, so causing separation first of the appendix 30 and then of the easy-opening portion 28. In this way, the final consumer can remove all of the product contained therein or only part of it. In fact, it is possible not to consume all the product immediately since the easy-opening portion 28 can be re-closed: it is sufficient to put the tongue 32 back into its original position and insert it into the slot 34. Thanks to the elastic septum 36, excellent stability of the product remaining in the package 10 is guaranteed.
  • the main advantage of the elongated package for foodstuffs, particularly for nests and bundles of pasta, according to the present invention, lies in that it can be positioned vertically on the shelves in such a way that its larger surface is completely visible to the customers.
  • Another advantage, directly consequential to the new vertical arrangement of the package according to the invention, is the possibility to provide a large opening 26 - the so-called window -, with relative improved visibility of the foodstuffs contained therein and, consequently, better commercial "desirability" of the product by the purchaser.
  • a further advantage thanks to the elastic septum 36 and the easy-opening portion 28 which can easily be re-closed, is the possibility to consume only part of the food product with the certainty that the foodstuffs remaining inside will remain in a stable position without being damaged.
