Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Darbieten von lichtempfindlichen Lebensmitteln, insbesondere von Chicorée.The present invention relates to an apparatus for presenting light-sensitive foods, in particular chicory.

Derzeit wird das Lebensmittel Chicorée, das beim Einzelhändler in Transportkisten verpackt ankommt, vom Lebensmitteleinzelhändler in ein Verkaufsregal gelegt und dem Kunden zum Kauf angeboten. Das Lebensmittel Chicorée ist dabei nicht vor äußeren Einflüssen, wie insbesondere Licht, geschützt. Da das Lebensmittel Chicorée aber unter dem Einfluss von Licht seine Färbung von nahezu weiß in mehr und mehr grün ändert und mit zunehmender Grünfärbung dieses Lebensmittel auch zunehmend bitterer wird, wird es nach einer gewissen Zeit unverkäuflich. Um dies zu verhindern, bieten manche Einzelhändler das Lebensmittel Chicorée in der Transportverpackung an, was jedoch den Nachteil hat, dass diese je nach Lieferant unterschiedlich ausgebildet und dadurch der Inhalt vom Kunden schwierig zu identifizieren ist, was zur Folge hat, dass der Kunde die Ware nicht erkennt und somit nicht kauft. Eine Alternative hierzu bietet sich dem Lebensmitteleinzelhändler durch die Verwendung von lichtundurchlässigen und damit undurchsichtigen Folien, was jedoch dem Grunde nach ähnliche Nachteile mit sich bringt. Eine derartige Folie bedeutet entweder Luftabschluss, was zu Feuchtigkeitsproblemen führt, oder Warenverlust, wenn sie zu oft und zu lange aufgedeckt bleibt.Currently, the food chicory, which arrives at the retailer packed in transport crates, placed by the grocery retailer on a shelf and offered for sale to the customer. The food chicory is not subject to external influences, such as in particular Light, protected. However, as the food chicory, under the influence of light, changes its color from almost white to more and more green and with increasing green color, this food becomes increasingly bitter, it becomes unsalable after a certain time. To prevent this, some retailers offer the food chicory in the transport packaging, but this has the disadvantage that it varies depending on the supplier and thus the content of the customer is difficult to identify, with the result that the customer the goods does not recognize and therefore does not buy. An alternative to offering the grocery retailer through the use of opaque and thus opaque films, but this brings with it basically similar disadvantages. Such a film means either exclusion of air, which leads to moisture problems, or loss of goods if it remains uncovered too often and too long.

Aus der DE 92 05 964 U1 ist eine Verpackungsschachtel für Obst und Gemüse bekannt, die ein Unterteil mit umlaufenden Seitenwänden sowie ein Oberteil als Deckel, der über einen oberen Bereich des Unterteils gestülpt ist, besitzt. Unterteil und Oberteil sind mit Verriegelungselementen versehen. Diese bekannte Verpackungsschachtel dient, begrifflich gesehen, zum Verpacken des betreffenden Lebensmittels und nicht zu dessen Darbietung beim Verkauf.From the DE 92 05 964 U1 discloses a packaging box for fruits and vegetables, which has a base with circumferential side walls and a top as a lid, which is slipped over an upper portion of the base has. Lower part and upper part are provided with locking elements. This known packaging box is used, conceptually, for packaging the food in question and not for its presentation at the time of sale.

Aus der US 1 465 650 A ist eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbewahren und Darbieten von Gebäck in hygienisch einwandfreier Weise bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung besitzt ein bodenseitig offenes Behältnis mit einem Deckel, in dessen Rahmen eine Glasplatte gehalten ist und der in aufrechter Position in einen bleibenden Öffnungszustand gebracht werden kann. Für ein hygienisches Aufbewahren greift der Deckel in geschlossenem Zustand über und um einen nach innen gezogenen Rand des Behältnisses. Der Deckel der Vorrichtung soll die Deckel der dort aufzubewahrenden und mit dem betreffenden Gebäck bestückten Kartons ersetzen. Aufgrund der Glasplatte im Deckel ist ein Schutz lichtempfindlicher Lebensmittel nicht möglich. Da der Deckel der bekannten Vorrichtung in einen sich selbsthaltenden Öffnungszustand gebracht werden kann, muss er vom Kunden bewusst wieder geschlossen werden.From the US 1 465 650 A a device for storing and presenting baked goods in a hygienically perfect manner is known. This device has a bottom open container with a lid, in the frame of which a glass plate is held and which can be brought in an upright position in a permanent opening state. For hygienic storage, the lid engages in the closed state over and around an inwardly drawn edge of the container. The lid of the device should replace the lids of the cartons to be stored there and stocked with the particular biscuit. Due to the glass plate in the lid, a protection of light-sensitive food is not possible. Since the lid of the known device can be brought into a self-holding opening state, it must be deliberately closed by the customer again.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Vorrichtung zum Darbieten von lichtempfindlichen Lebensmitteln, insbesondere von Chicorée, der genannten Art zu schaffen, die einerseits das Lebensmittel lichtgeschützt darbieten kann und die andererseits optisch eine zusagende und für den Kunden akzeptable Darbietung für den Verkauf gestattet.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for presenting light-sensitive foods, in particular chicory, of the type mentioned, which, on the one hand, can present the food in a light-protected manner and which, on the other hand, visually permits a satisfactory and acceptable for the customer presentation for sale.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind bei einer Vorrichtung der genannten Art die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale vorgesehen.To solve this problem, the features specified in claim 1 are provided in a device of the type mentioned.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist einerseits erreicht, dass der Lichteinfluss auf dieses lichtempfindliche Lebensmittel in der Verkaufstheke erheblich reduziert ist, da das Lebensmittel lichtgeschützt und das Zugriffselement nur bei Bedarf zum Entnehmen des Lebensmittels geöffnet wird. Außerdem bleibt der Deckel tatsächlich nur soweit und solange geöffnet, wie der Kunde es zum Entnehmen des Lebensmittels aus dem Behältnis benötigt. Durch das randseitig umlaufende Überstehen des Deckels ist außerdem eine lichtdichte Abdeckung des Deckels auf den Seitenwänden des Behältnisses erreicht. Dies bedeutet eine erhebliche Reduzierung von nichtverkaufsfähigen Lebensmitteln. Außerdem ist die Darbietung des Lebensmittels verkaufseffektiver und sauberer und es ergeben sich reduzierte Handhabungskosten.The measures according to the invention on the one hand ensures that the influence of light on this photosensitive food in the sales counter is considerably reduced, since the food is protected from light and the access element is opened only when required to remove the food. In addition, the lid actually only stays as far and open as long as the customer needs it to remove the food from the container. By the peripheral circumferential overhanging the lid, a light-tight cover of the lid is also achieved on the side walls of the container. This means a significant reduction of non-salable food. In addition, the presentation of the food is more effective and cleaner and results in reduced handling costs.

Der selbstschließende Deckel kann als Schiebedeckel oder in bevorzugter Weise gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 2 als ein- oder zweiflügliger Deckel ausgebildet sein. Die Flügellösung hat den Vorteil der Einfachheit.The self-closing lid can be used as a sliding lid or in a preferred manner according to the features of claim 2 as a single or be formed two-leaved lid. The wing solution has the advantage of simplicity.

Ein für den Kunden sehr einfaches Öffnen ergibt sich durch die Merkmale nach Anspruch 3. Außerdem kann es dabei zweckmäßig sein, die Griffleiste an den Deckel anzuformen.A very easy for the customer opening results from the features of claim 3. Moreover, it may be appropriate to mold the handle bar to the lid.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 4 und/oder 5 kann es zweckmäßig sein, das Scharnierelement in Form eines Scharnierbandes entweder beidendig am betreffenden Element festzulegen oder, um eine bessere Reinigung der Seitenwände zu erreichen, am Behältnis aufsteckbar auszubilden.According to the features of claim 4 and / or 5, it may be appropriate to set the hinge element in the form of a hinge either at both ends of the relevant element or to achieve better cleaning of the side walls, attachable to the container.

Zur Darstellung des Inhalts des Behältnisses ist es zweckmäßig, gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 6 den Deckel zu bedrucken.To represent the contents of the container it is expedient to print the lid according to the features of claim 6.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit, das Lebensmittel innerhalb des Behältnisses über eine längere Zeitdauer aufzubewahren, ergibt sich durch die Merkmale nach Anspruch 7.Another way to store the food within the container for a longer period of time, is given by the features of claim 7.

Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung sind der folgenden Beschreibung zu entnehmen, in der die Erfindung anhand des in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben und erläutert ist.Further details of the invention can be found in the following description in which the invention with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawing is described and explained in more detail.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Vorrichtung 10 dient zum Darbieten von lichtempfindlichen Lebensmitteln, wie beispielsweise Chicorée.The device 10 shown in the drawing is used for the presentation of photosensitive foods, such as for example chicory.

Die Vorrichtung 10 besitzt die Form eines quaderförmigen Behältnisses 11, das vier zu einem geschlossenen Rahmen 18einstückig miteinander verbundene umlaufende Seitenwände 12, 13, 14 und 15 aufweist. Das Behältnis 11 ist beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ohne Boden, besitzt jedoch ein Zugriffselement zum Innenraum 16 des Behältnisses 11 in Form eines hier einflügligen Deckels 17. Das gesamte Behältnis 11, d.h. die Seitenwände 12 bis 15 sowie der Deckel 17 sind aus einem lichtundurchlässigen Material, vorzugsweise aus einem lichtundurchlässigen, ggf. eingefärbten Kunststoff hergestellt.The device 10 has the shape of a parallelepiped container 11 having four to a closed frame 18 integrally connected peripheral side walls 12, 13, 14 and 15. The container 11 is in the illustrated embodiment without bottom, but has an access element to the interior 16 of the container 11 in the form of a einflügligen here cover 17. The entire container 11, i. the side walls 12 to 15 and the lid 17 are made of an opaque material, preferably made of an opaque, optionally colored plastic.

Die zum umlaufenden und geschlossenen Rahmen 18 zusammengefügten Seitenwände 12 bis 15 besitzen abgerundete Kanten, wobei der Rahmen 18 etwa quaderförmig ist. Der auf dem Rahmen 18 aufliegende Deckel 17 besitzt eine größere Grundlfäche derart, dass der Deckel 17 randseitig umlaufend über die Außenflächen der Seitenwände 12 bis 15 hinausragt. Der etwa rechteckförmige Deckel 17, ist an einem Schmalseitenbereich über ein Gelenk oder Scharnier 19 mit der betreffenden schmalen Seitenwand 13 klappbar verbunden und besitzt an seinem dem Scharnier 19 abgewandten Ende eine einstückig rinnenförmig um- und rückgebogene Griffleiste 21, die im wesentlichen über die gesamte Schmalseite des Deckels 17 verläuft. Anhand der Griffleiste 21 kann der Deckel 17 um die Achse des Scharniers 19 in Richtung gemäß Pfeil A gegenüber dem Rahmen 18 verschwenkt werden. Der Deckel 17 ist auf seiner Außenseite bzw. Sichtfläche zur Darstellung des Inhalts des Behältnisses 11 bedruckt.The assembled to the peripheral and closed frame 18 side walls 12 to 15 have rounded edges, wherein the frame 18 is approximately cuboid. The resting on the frame 18 cover 17 has a larger Grundlfäche such that the cover 17 peripherally extends circumferentially beyond the outer surfaces of the side walls 12 to 15. The approximately rectangular cover 17 is hingedly connected to a narrow side region via a hinge or hinge 19 with the relevant narrow side wall 13 and has at its end facing away from the hinge 19 an integrally groove-shaped and bent back handle bar 21, which substantially over the entire Narrow side of the lid 17 extends. On the basis of the handle bar 21, the lid 17 can be pivoted about the axis of the hinge 19 in the direction indicated by arrow A relative to the frame 18. The lid 17 is printed on its outer side or visible surface for displaying the contents of the container 11.

Gemäß Figur 2A ist das Scharnier 19 als Scharnierband aus Kunststoff ausgebildet, dessen beide Schenkel 23 und 24 mit der Unterseite des Deckels 17 bzw. mit der Außenseite der Seitenwand 13 fest verbunden, beispielsweise verklebt oder verschweißt ist. Das Scharnierband besitzt zwischen den Schenkeln 23 und 24 eine Kerbe 25 zur leichteren Verschwenkbarkeit, um die die Schwenkachse darstellende Schenkelverbindung.According to FIG. 2A the hinge 19 is formed as a hinge made of plastic, the two legs 23 and 24 fixedly connected to the underside of the lid 17 and with the outside of the side wall 13, for example glued or welded. The hinge has between the legs 23 and 24 a notch 25 for ease of pivoting about the pivot axis performing leg connection.

Figur 2B zeigt eine andere Ausführungsform eines Scharnierbandes 19', bei dem ein Schenkel 23' an der Unterseite des Deckels 17 befestigt, vorzugsweise verklebt oder verschweißt ist. Der Schenkel 23' ist an seinem inneren Ende mit dem einen Schenkel 26' im Querschnitt als U-förmiges Rastprofil zum verrastenden Aufstecken auf bzw. über die Schmalseitenwand 13 ausgebildet ist, die in diesem Bereich mit einer Ausklinkung versehen ist. Mit anderen Worten, die Scharnierleiste 19' verläuft lediglich über einen bestimmten mittleren Bereich der Schmalseitenwand 13. FIG. 2B shows another embodiment of a hinge band 19 ', in which a leg 23' attached to the underside of the lid 17, preferably glued or welded. The leg 23 'is formed at its inner end with the one leg 26' in cross-section as a U-shaped locking profile for latching plugging on or over the narrow side wall 13, which is provided in this area with a notch. In other words, the hinge strip 19 'extends only over a certain central region of the narrow side wall 13th

Zwischen dem am Deckel 17' gehaltenen Schenkel 23' und dem an der Schmalseitenwand 13 über das Rastprofil 26' gehaltenen Schenkel 24' ist eine Kerbe 25' zur leichteren Schwenkbarkeit vorgesehen. Somit ist der Deckel 17' am Rahmen 18 abnehmbar gehalten.Between the lid 17 'held on the leg 23' and on the narrow side wall 13 via the locking profile 26 'held leg 24' is a notch 25 'provided for easier pivoting. Thus, the lid 17 'on the frame 18 is removably held.

Aus den Figuren 2A und 2B ergibt sich, dass der Deckel 17, 17' anhand der Griffleiste 21, 21' angehoben werden kann, so dass der Zugriff zum Innenraum 16 des Rahmens 18 erfolgen kann. Lässt man die Griffleiste 21, 21' los, so gelangt der Deckel 17, 17' automatisch bzw. ohne weiteres in seine den Innenraum 16 vor Licht schützende Lage auf die Oberkante des Rahmens 18 zurück. Der Deckel 17 ist damit selbstschließend.From the FIGS. 2A and 2B shows that the lid 17, 17 'can be raised by means of the gripping strip 21, 21', so that the access to the interior 16 of the frame 18 can take place. If you let go of the handle bar 21, 21 ', the lid 17, 17' automatically or easily in its the interior 16 from light-protective layer on the top edge of the frame 18 back. The lid 17 is thus self-closing.

In nicht dargestellter Weise kann der Deckel 17 auch als zweiflügiger Deckel ausgebildet sein, welche beiden Flügel dann an ihren einander abgewandten Längsseitenrändern an den langen Seitenwänden 12 bzw. 14 befestigt bzw. aufsteckbar gehalten sind. An ihren einander zugewandten Längsrändern besitzen die Deckelhälften jeweils eine Griffleiste oder dergleichen.In a manner not shown, the lid 17 may be formed as a double-lid, which two wings are then attached to their opposite longitudinal side edges on the long side walls 12 and 14 and held plugged. At their mutually facing longitudinal edges of the cover halves each have a handle bar or the like.

Des Weiteren ist es möglich, statt des Klappdeckels einen Schiebedeckel in einer Nutführung am Rahmen 18 vorzusehen.Furthermore, it is possible to provide a sliding cover in a groove guide on the frame 18 instead of the hinged lid.

Es versteht sich, dass die Vorrichtung 10 nicht nur für lichtempfindliche Lebensmittel, wie Chicorée, vorgesehen sein kann; die Lebensmittel können auch vor anderen Einflüssen, wie Wärme, Kälte, Zugluft, Feuchtigkeit, Trockenheit dadurch geschützt werden, dass innerhalb des Rahmens 18 eine entsprechende Feuchtigkeits- und/oder Temperiereinrichtung vorgesehen ist.It is understood that the device 10 can not be provided only for photosensitive foods such as chicory; the foodstuffs can also be protected from other influences, such as heat, cold, draft, moisture, dryness, by providing a corresponding moisture and / or tempering device within the frame 18.

Der mit dem Deckel 17 versehene bodenlose Rahmen 18 wird zur Aufnahme des betreffenden Lebensmittel bzw. zur Verkaufsdarbietung auf eine in Lebensmitteleinzelhandelsgeschäften übliche Unterlage gebracht, die den Boden für die Vorrichtung 10 bildet.The bottomless frame 18 provided with the cover 17 is placed on a base common in food retail stores for receiving the food in question or for sale, forming the base for the device 10.
