Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a membrane for closing containers in general, and a product preservation device comprising said membrane. Foods are known to be often preserved in containers provided with a protection lid.
  • WO 8400745 discloses an elastic membrane having a valve realised in three pieces according to the pre-characterising portion of claim 1.
  • the membrane 1 is applied to a container 4 as indicated in Figures 5-7 .
  • Figure 9 shows this situation; in this figure the food products are indicated by the reference numeral 26.
  • the membrane 1 allows the use of containers having a structure not reinforced to withstand the high vacuums and stresses generated within the container when the air is drawn out (to create the vacuum); in this respect, it is the membrane 1 itself which deforms, so preventing the container being subjected to high stresses.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for preserving food products.
  • the membrane of the present invention can also be used at the industrial or semi-industrial and professional level.
