Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package comprising a container shaped bowl delimiting an access opening bordered by a peripheral range of welding of a lid and a cap of polymer or another initial closure of the welded opening along said peripheral range.
  • the seal is formed of a polymer film welded to the periphery of the access opening. To access the content of the package, the seal must be cut or torn off. In particular, it is known, to allow to tear the seal by rupture of the peripheral weld to arrange a tongue on the edge of the opening, this tongue protruding that can be entered manually by the user to to exert a traction on the operculum.
  • This tongue extending the operculum beyond the access opening is sometimes difficult to grasp and the opening of the packaging by breaking the Peripheral welding is often difficult to obtain.
  • it requires controlled welding with sufficient breaking strength of the weld high to effectively protect the products to be packaged and sufficiently low to allow breakage without the user having to produce a too much effort.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a package whose opening is easier.
  • the subject of the invention is a package according to the claim 1.
  • the invention comprises one or more of the features of the dependent claims.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for opening a package according to one of claims 18 to 22.
  • Figure 1 a package 10 for packaging a solid cooked dish or solid food products.
  • a package is particularly suitable for a product that has been treated sterilization or pasteurization. They are intended to be heated especially in a microwave oven.
  • the packaging can also be used for the packaging of liquid or semi-liquid food products or non-food products such as cosmetics, shampoos, adhesives or mechanical elements such as screw.
  • This package consists of a generally circular tray 12 and a flexible cover 14 for closing a passage or access opening 16 inside the tray 12.
  • the tray consists of a thermoformed polymer film. She is relatively rigid and in particular freestanding, so that it keeps its shape whether or not it is filled with a container, such as a product food.
  • the tray 12 is for example made of a layer outer support of suitable material, for example polyvinyl chloride (PVC), covered on its inner surface with a weldable layer, by example polyethylene (PE).
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • PE polyethylene
  • the tray is, alternatively, formed of a thermoformable polymer such as amorphous polyester (APET), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), or an amorphous polyester complex (APET) / polyethylene (PE).
  • the tray defines a receptacle 18 bordered on all its periphery by a flange 20 delimiting a flat surface for welding the lid 14 next a peripheral weld 22.
  • the lid 14 consists of a flexible polymer film formed of one or several superimposed layers.
  • the cover 14 has an identical shape at the outer periphery of the peripheral rim of the tray and more exactly a shape identical to that of the weld 22. Thus, no tongue outer grip does not extend the operculum outward beyond the weld 22 in the extension of a weakening line.
  • the lid is held taut on the rim 20 across 16.
  • the operculum is kept away from the food products contained in the packaging, so that a free space 23 ( Figure 4) filled with air or any other gas is interposed between the lid and the food products contained in the packaging and resting on the substance of the tray.
  • the gas contained in the free space 23 may be at atmospheric pressure, at a higher pressure or at a lower pressure. In this last case, a more or less intense vacuum is created in the packaging when its sealing.
  • the cover 14 comprises, out of the peripheral weld 22, in the coverage area of the access opening 16, a line weakening 24 of the lid.
  • This weakening line 24 is no through in the thickness of the lid.
  • the weakening line and the 22 of the seal on the container are such that the resistance to the rupture of the lid along the line of weakness is less than the resistance at the breaking of the weld when applying a pressure on the cap.
  • the rupture strength of the lid by traction of both sides of the weakening line is between 1 N / 15mm and 70N / 15mm and preferably between 2N / 15mm and 25N / 15mm.
  • the line of weakening 24 delimits a closed outline and its layout is totally included in the coverage area of the access opening 16.
  • the closed contour defines a profile corresponding generally to the profile of the edge 20 bordering the passage 16.
  • the line of weakening 24 delimits a generally circular profile and presents locally a tongue 26 protruding from the general layout of the weakening line to the outside.
  • This language has a generally concave profile of curvature substantially constant. It has dimensions corresponding generally to the dimensions of the end of a finger of a human being. So, this language has a width of between 2 cm and 5 cm and a length also between 2 cm and 5 cm.
  • the weakening line 24 delimiting the language presents advantageously but not necessarily at least one angular tip not represented forming an acute angle adapted to promote the rupture of the lid.
  • the cover 14 has a visible identification marking of the position of the weakening line 24.
  • this marking is constituted by a discontinuous black line printed on the operculum.
  • the weakening line 24 is produced by treatment of the film constituting the operculum 14.
  • the line of weakness 24 is performed by applying high energy radiation such as a laser, by applying a laser beam along the line of the weakening line 24, before the lid 14 is put in place on the tray.
  • the High energy radiation treatment is performed on one or more films of the operculum 14 when it has several.
  • the weakening line is formed by a mechanical fading of the operculum extending according to the line of weakening 24.
  • This mechanical treatment is realized on one or more films of the operculum when it has several.
  • a microporous weakening is provided following a band of reduced width to at least partially the weakening line 24.
  • a microporous strip of a film is obtained for example by passing the film of the lid between two rollers, of which one of the rolls was made abrasive according to the layout of the line weakening.
  • Such a treatment is described for example in the document FR-2717449.
  • the mechanical attenuation is formed by notching the thickness of one or more films of the operculum when this one has more than one movie. These cuts are made by a matrix of cutting elements, the operculum being compressed between this matrix and a support, as known in itself.
  • the weakening line is obtained by a line of non-through micro perforations through the operculum, these micro perforations being formed through one or more films when the cover has several.
  • the weakening of the operculum following the line of weakening is variable depending on the position along of this weakening line.
  • the attenuation is greater in the region of the border of the tongue 26 that on the perimeter generally circular edge surrounding the peripheral weld.
  • the operculum 14 is monolayer and is formed of a base film of polymer or paper.
  • the operculum 14 is a single-material seal.
  • the film of polymer or paper forming the lid is advantageously covered on its inner surface with a sealing material affixed for example by extrusion, coating, coextrusion or coating when applying printing ink on the base film.
  • the base film is preferably formed of a bioriented polymer film can be coextruded. It can also be a mono-oriented film or undirected obtained by coextrusion. This film is formed for example of polypropylene (OPP), polyester (OPET), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • the thickness of the base film is generally between 5 and 500 microns and preferably between 15 microns and 150 microns.
  • the sealing material is selected compatible with the material forming the tray to allow welding.
  • the thickness of the sealing material is between 10 and 40 microns, the amount of the deposit of sealing material being between 1 and 12 g / m 2 .
  • the embrittlement is formed in the base film.
  • the cover 14 is formed of two complexed films.
  • the cap comprises a base film formed of polymer or paper associated with its side facing the tray to a polymer sealing film compatible with the tray material to allow welding.
  • the base film and the sealing film are bonded to one another by laminating using an adhesive or by resin extrusion.
  • the base film is advantageously formed of a bioriented polymer film. However, this film can also be a cast film.
  • the polymer forming the base film is preferably polyester (PET), polyamide (OPA) or polypropylene (OPP).
  • the sealing film is formed for example of polyethylene (PE) optionally mixed or co-extruded with other polymers.
  • the film sealing is alternatively formed of polypropylene (PP), preferably cast, of the homopolymer or copolymer type with ethylvinylacetate (EVA).
  • the sealing film is made of polyester amorphous or copolyester (PETG).
  • the film turned towards the tray advantageously receives on its face in contact with the tray a sealing varnish, as in the case of a single-material seal.
  • the embrittlement is performed on the outer layer and possibly on a part of the thickness of the inner layer.
  • the outer film is weakened by high radiation treatment energy while the inner film is weakened by mechanical treatment such a microporous weakening or vice versa.
  • the same mechanical treatment or by high energy radiation is, alternatively, provided on the two films.
  • the cover 14 is formed of a two-layer complex film formed for example polyester (PET) / polypropylene (PP), aluminum foil / polyester (PET), oriented aluminum / polypropylene film (OPP) or paper / polypropylene (PP).
  • PET polyester
  • PET polypropylene
  • OPP oriented aluminum / polypropylene film
  • PP paper / polypropylene
  • the polyethylene films are advantageously complexed by coextrusion with a small thickness.
  • the lid comprises three films, of which the two extreme films are as defined above in a two films, an intermediate film being interposed between two extreme films.
  • This intermediate film is formed for example of an aluminum foil from 6 to 100 microns and preferably from 7 to 38 microns. This aluminum foil is annealed or hardened.
  • the seal is formed for example of polyester (PET) / aluminum / polypropylene cast (PPC) or polyester (PET) / aluminum / polyethylene (PE) or oriented polyamide (OPA) / aluminum / polypropylene (OPA) / aluminum / cast polypropylene (PPC) or oriented polyamide (OPA) / aluminum / cast polyethylene (PEC).

  • the breaking strength of the lid is lower along the line weakening as the breaking strength of the weld, the film becomes breaks in the vicinity of the user's finger.
  • the curvature of the tongue being relatively important, the rupture of the operculum is effected according to the outline of this language.
  • a characteristic noise such as "pop" is audible to the user because of passage of gas contained in the tray through the broken operculum when the pressure of this gas is greater than the atmospheric pressure.
  • a characteristic noise is also audible to the user during the initial rupture of the operculum while the initial pressure in the packaging is below atmospheric pressure. This noise results from passage of air from the outside of the package inwards through the lid is broken.
  • the packaging is placed in a microwave oven that the operculum is broken only on the periphery of the tongue.
  • the products contained in the packaging heat up and gassing occurs through the opening language level 26.
  • this language is warming up and tends to bend towards the outside of the package, as shown in the figure 3.
  • the package is placed in a microwave oven before that the operculum is broken.
  • Microwave radiation causes a heating of the products contained in the packaging, so that the pressure in this one increases.
  • the lid is urged outwards, until it breaks along the weakening line, especially on the outline of the tongue 26.
  • the detached part of the lid is torn and completely detached from the rest of the package, as shown in Figure 5.

Specifically, this line of weakness 124 connects two opposite points of the perimeter of the access opening. She presents a generally arcuate in shape with a median tongue of comparable form to the language 26 of the previous embodiment.
  • the tongue 126 presents, according to its outline, an angular tip 128 facilitating the initiation of the rupture of the operculum following the weakening line.
  • the operculum breaks first according to the tip 128.
  • the break propagates according to the outline of the tongue 126 of else of this one.
  • the operator then enters the language 126 and pulls the part of the detached lid, as shown in Figure 7.
  • This delamination causes the updating of a range noted 130 of the edge initially covered by the cap. This newly exposed beach allows the user to ask the lips on a clean surface to drink the liquid in the cup.
  • the lid is advantageously formed a complex film comprising three layers formed for example of polyester (PET) / aluminum film / polyethylene (PE) or oriented polypropylene (OPP) / aluminum foil / polyethylene (PE).
  • the lid is constituted of a complex film comprising at least two layers, for example polyester (PET) / polyethylene (PE), oriented polypropylene (OPP) / polyethylene (PE) or paper / polyethylene (PE).

  • the weakening line does not extend on the weld
  • the weakening line delimits a non closed.
  • it forms a tongue 126 extended laterally on both sides by two curved sections.
  • the line of weakness allows the partial opening of the operculum to introduce an object or a substance into the package. So, the opening arranged in the lid allows for example to introduce a straw. It also makes it possible to add in the packaging certain substances, such as only sugar or salt. It also allows the introduction of an organ to mix, such as a spoon or a stiff stirrer.
