Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit alimentaire, en particulier d'un fromage, notamment d'un fromage à pâte mi-dure, tel que par exemple une meule d'un fromage appelé "Tête de Moine" ou d'un autre produit tel que du chocolat ou similaire, ce dispositif comportant une boîte constituée d'un corps comprenant un fond, d'une paroi latérale et d'un couvercle amovible agencé pour s'emboîter sur ledit corps, le fond étant pourvu d'une plate-forme de support de ladite meule de fromage et la paroi latérale étant agencée pour pouvoir se déployer autour du fond en constituant un rebord en forme de couronne entourant cette plate-forme.The present invention relates to a device for packaging a food product, in particular a cheese, in particular a semi-hard cheese, such as, for example, a cheese wheel called "Tête de Moine" or another product such as chocolate or the like, this device comprising a box consisting of a body comprising a bottom, a side wall and a removable cover arranged to fit on said body, the bottom being provided with a support platform for said cheese wheel and the side wall being arranged to be able to deploy around the bottom forming a crown-shaped flange surrounding this platform.

Technique antérieurePrior art

Ce fromage, qui est présenté sous la forme d'une petite meule, a la particularité de pouvoir être raclé par exemple au moyen d'un couteau traditionnel en vue d'être débité en petits copeaux aux bords plissés appelés rosettes qui leur donnent un aspect esthétique inimitable. Cette manière de consommer la "Tête de Moine", également appelée fromage de Bellelay, est connue de longue date.This cheese, which is presented in the form of a small wheel, has the distinction of being scraped for example by means of a traditional knife to be cut into small chips with pleated edges called rosettes that give them an appearance inimitable aesthetic. This way of consuming the "Tête de Moine", also called Bellelay cheese, is known for a long time.

Le raclement au moyen d'un couteau traditionnel a été supplanté, il y a quelques années, par l'appareil objet de l'invention décrite par le brevet européen 0 081 466 et le brevet suisse CH 653 596 A5 et commercialisé sous le nom de "Girolle" ™. Cet appareil comporte un axe central traversant la meule de fromage et un couteau rotatif monté sur cet axe central de telle manière que sa lame soit sensiblement perpendiculaire à la surface supérieure de la meule de fromage et puisse racler cette surface pour détacher des rosettes sur des secteurs angulaires centrés sur ledit axe central.Scraping by means of a traditional knife was supplanted, a few years ago, by the apparatus object of the invention described by the European patent 0 081 466 and the Swiss patent CH 653 596 A5 and marketed under the name of "Girolle" ™ . This apparatus comprises a central axis traversing the cheese wheel and a rotary knife mounted on this central axis so that its blade is substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the cheese wheel and can scrape this surface to detach rosettes on sectors. angularly centered on said central axis.

Cet appareil se présente habituellement sous la forme d'un plateau circulaire portant ledit axe central et dont le diamètre est sensiblement plus grand que la section de la meule de fromage. L'un des problèmes qui se pose est celui du rangement de cet appareil dont l'encombrement n'est pas négligeable. En raison de cet encombrement il est rare que la meule de fromage, si elle n'est pas consommée en une seule fois, puisse être conservée dans un réfrigérateur ménager sans être désolidarisée de l'appareil. De ce fait, l'appareil doit être nettoyé après usage et stocké séparément du fromage.This apparatus is usually in the form of a circular plate bearing said central axis and whose diameter is substantially larger than the section of the cheese wheel. One of the problems that arises is that of storage of this device whose size is not negligible. Because of this clutter it is rare that the cheese wheel, if it is not consumed at one time, can be kept in a household refrigerator without being detached from the device. As a result, the appliance must be cleaned after use and stored separately from the cheese.

Un problème similaire se pose sur le lieu de vente où la meule de fromage est parfois exposée sur les rayons affectés aux produits de consommation et où l'appareil est exposé sur les rayons des équipements électroménagers. L'acheteur d'une meule de fromage "Tête de Moine" ne passe pas forcément au secteur des appareils électroménagers et, de ce fait, n'est pas sollicité pour acquérir un appareil destiné à le racler.A similar problem arises at the point of sale where the cheese wheel is sometimes exposed on the shelves assigned to consumer products and where the appliance is exposed on the shelves of household electrical appliances. The buyer of a cheese mill "Tête de Moine" does not necessarily go to the sector of household appliances and, therefore, is not asked to acquire a device for scraping.

En outre, ce système de vente séparée de l'appareil et du produit consommable implique que le prix de vente de l'un et de l'autre intègre une marge bénéficiaire. Le coût relativement élevé de l'appareil ne stimule pas la vente des fromages. Cet inconvénient est encore accru en raison de la présentation séparée de l'appareil et du fromage. Si les deux produits pouvaient être vendus simultanément, sous la forme d'un article unique, ce problème serait en grande partie résolu.In addition, this system of separate sale of the device and the consumable product implies that the sales price of both incorporates a profit margin. The relatively high cost of the device does not stimulate the sale of cheeses. This disadvantage is further increased due to the separate presentation of the apparatus and cheese. If both products could be sold simultaneously, as a single item, this problem would be largely solved.

La demande de brevet français publiée sous le N° FR 2 767 513 A illustre un dispositif de conditionnement pour un produit alimentaire comportant un fond rigide et une paroi latérale pliée en accordéon pouvant se déplier pour présenter une configuration d'assiette autour du fond rigide. Ce dispositif se distingue de celui de l'invention en ce qu'il ne mentionne ni ne suggère l'intégration d'un dispositif mécanique pour racler la surface d'un fromage à pâte mi-dure dans un moyen de conditionnement extensible.The French patent application published under No. FR 2,767,513 A illustrates a packaging device for a food product comprising a rigid bottom and an accordion-folded side wall that can unfold to present a trim configuration around the rigid bottom. This device differs from that of the invention in that it does not mention or suggest the integration of a mechanical device for scraping the surface of a semi-hard cheese in an extensible packaging means.

De façon similaire, la demande de brevet français publiée sous le N° FR 2 501 171 A illustre un emballage pour un fromage comportant un fond et une paroi latérale composée de segments susceptibles de se déployer autour de ce fond.Similarly, the French patent application published under No. FR 2 501 171 A illustrates a packaging for a cheese having a bottom and a side wall composed of segments capable of being deployed around this bottom.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

La présente invention se propose de pallier l'ensemble des inconvénients et aux lacunes de l'art antérieur et de réaliser un conditionnement des meules de fromage du type "Tête de Moine" ou similaires combiné à des moyens économiques de racler ce fromage pour former des rosettes, l'ensemble pouvant être commercialisé dans les mêmes sections des points de vente.The present invention proposes to overcome all the drawbacks and shortcomings of the prior art and to achieve a cheese-type cheese grinding type "Tête de Moine" or similar combined with economic means of scraping this cheese to form rosettes, all of which can be marketed in the same sections of the outlets.

Ce but est atteint par le dispositif selon l'invention, tel que défini en préambule et caractérisé en ce ladite plate-forme de support de ladite meule de fromage est pourvue d'un logement contenant une tige rigide et de moyens pour monter cette tige perpendiculairement à la surface de ladite plate-forme de support, de sorte que, une fois montée, ladite tige rigide traverse en son centre ladite meule de fromage posée sur ladite plate-forme rigide et peut porter un couteau rotatif agencé pour racler des rosettes dudit fromage.This object is achieved by the device according to the invention, as defined in the preamble and characterized in that said support platform of said cheese wheel is provided with a housing containing a rigid rod and means for mounting this rod perpendicularly. on the surface of said support platform, so that, once mounted, said rigid rod passes through said cheese wheel placed on said rigid platform at its center and can carry a rotary knife arranged to scrape rosettes of said cheese .

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, ladite paroi latérale comporte un ensemble de segments de paroi latérale, sensiblement identiques qui sont articulés à la périphérie dudit fond et reliés entre eux par des éléments de liaison.According to an advantageous embodiment, said side wall comprises a set of substantially identical side wall segments which are articulated at the periphery of said bottom and interconnected by connecting elements.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, lesdits éléments de liaison sont constitués par un film souple qui recouvre au moins les intervalles entre lesdits segments de paroi latérale lorsque cette dernière est déployée autour dudit fond.According to a first embodiment, said connecting elements are constituted by a flexible film which covers at least the gaps between said side wall segments when the latter is deployed around said bottom.

D'après le premier mode de réalisation, ledit film souple recouvre de préférence intégralement ledit fond, les segments de paroi latérale et les intervalles entre lesdits segments de paroi latérale.According to the first embodiment, said flexible film preferably integrally covers said bottom, the sidewall segments and the gaps between said sidewall segments.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, lesdits éléments de liaison sont constitués par un rabat de forme sensiblement triangulaire comportant au moins une nervure de pliage.According to a second embodiment, said connecting elements are constituted by a flap of substantially triangular shape comprising at least one folding rib.

Ledit rabat peut être constitué du même matériau que celui desdits segments de paroi latérale.Said flap may be made of the same material as that of said side wall segments.

Ledit rabat peut également être constitué d'un matériau de nature et/ou ayant des propriétés différentes de celles desdits segments de paroi latérale.Said flap may also consist of a material of nature and / or having properties different from those of said sidewall segments.

D'une manière générale, le fond peut avoir une forme polygonale et chaque segment de paroi latérale peut comporter un côté de même dimension qu'un côté du fond et qui est attaché à ce côté.In general, the bottom may have a polygonal shape and each sidewall segment may have a side of the same dimension as one side of the bottom and which is attached to that side.

Manière(s) de réaliser l'inventionWay (s) to realize the invention

En référence aux figures et en particulier aux figures 1 et 2, le dispositif de conditionnement 10 d'un fromage 11, notamment d'un fromage à pâte mi-dure tel que par exemple une meule de fromage appelé "Tête de Moine" ou similaire, comporte une boîte 12 constituée, d'une part, d'un corps 13 comprenant un fond 14 et une paroi latérale 15 et, d'autre part, d'un couvercle amovible 16 agencé pour s'emboîter sur ledit corps 13. Le fond 14 est pourvu d'une plate-forme de support 17 de ladite meule de fromage 11 et la paroi latérale 15 est agencée pour pouvoir se déployer autour du fond 14 en constituant un rebord 18 en forme de couronne entourant cette plate-forme de support 17. La plate-forme de support 17 peut être rapportée sur le fond 14 ou intégrée à ce dernier. Dans ce cas, le fond et la plate-forme de support sont de préférence réalisés par injection en matière synthétique. La plate-forme 17 peut avoir une surface d'appui plane ou légèrement concave, ce qui permet d'améliorer la stabilité du dispositif en cours d'utilisation.Referring to the figures and in particular to Figures 1 and 2, the device 10 for packaging a cheese 11, in particular a semi-hard cheese such as for example a cheese wheel called "Tête de Moine" or the like , comprises a box 12 consisting, on the one hand, of a body 13 comprising a bottom 14 and a side wall 15 and, on the other hand, of a removable cover 16 arranged to fit on said body 13. bottom 14 is provided with a support platform 17 of said cheese wheel 11 and the side wall 15 is arranged to be able to deploy around the bottom 14 by constituting a rim 18 in the shape of a ring surrounding this support platform 17. The support platform 17 may be attached to the bottom 14 or integrated therewith. In this case, the bottom and the support platform are preferably made by injection of synthetic material. The platform 17 may have a flat or slightly concave bearing surface, which improves the stability of the device in use.

Comme le montre notamment la figure 2, la plate-forme de support 17 porte une tige rigide 19 sur laquelle est monté un couteau rotatif 20 destiné à racler la surface supérieure du fromage 11 avec sa face inférieure tranchante 21, pour former des rosettes lorsqu'un utilisateur tourne ce couteau rotatif 20 autour de la tige rigide 19 et exerce une pression plus ou moins forte sur la surface de la meule de fromage 11 par l'intermédiaire d'une poignée 22 fixe ou mobile, solidaire de ce couteau rotatif 20. Cette plate-forme est entourée du rebord 18 en forme de couronne qui est étalé sensiblement à plat ou légèrement relevé vers l'extérieur. Ce rebord est constitué d'un ensemble de segments 23 de paroi latérale, sensiblement identiques, qui sont articulées à la périphérie dudit fond 14. Ces segments sont reliés entre eux par des éléments de liaison 24 constitués par exemple par un film souple en matière synthétique qui a une forme circulaire et recouvre tout le fond ainsi que les segments 23 de paroi latérale. Ces éléments de liaison 24 peuvent également avoir une forme sensiblement triangulaire. Ils peuvent être rapportés, collés ou être un élément constitutif des segments 23 de paroi latérale de telle manière qu'ils forment, avec ces segments, ledit rebord 18 à l'état déployé et se replient à l'intérieur de la boîte lorsque celle-ci est fermée. Ces segments peuvent être réalisés en un matériau rigide, par exemple en carton ou en matière synthétique, mono-composant ou multicouche. Les éléments de liaison peuvent être faits du même matériau que les segments 23, éventuellement avec une épaisseur plus faible pour présenter une certaine souplesse. Le but recherché est de définir une sorte de plateau continu et étanche qui recouvre le fond et s'étend au-delà de ce fond pour recueillir la croûte qui se détache du fromage lors du raclage ou les rosettes lorsqu'elles sont formées à l'aide du couteau.As shown in particular in Figure 2, the support platform 17 carries a rigid rod 19 on which is mounted a rotary knife 20 for scraping the upper surface of the cheese 11 with its lower cutting face 21, to form rosettes when a user turns the rotary knife 20 around the rigid rod 19 and exerts a more or less strong pressure on the surface of the cheese wheel 11 by means of a fixed or movable handle 22, integral with the rotary knife 20. This platform is surrounded by the rim 18 in the form of a crown which is spread substantially flat or slightly raised outwards. This flange consists of a set of substantially identical side-wall segments 23 which are articulated at the periphery of said bottom 14. These segments are interconnected by connecting elements 24 constituted for example by a flexible film of synthetic material who has a circular shape and covers the entire bottom and the segments 23 of the side wall. These connecting elements 24 may also have a substantially triangular shape. They may be attached, glued or be a constituent element of the side wall segments 23 so that they form, with these segments, said rim 18 in the expanded state and fold inside the box when the This is closed. These segments may be made of a rigid material, for example cardboard or synthetic material, single-component or multilayer. The connecting elements may be made of the same material as the segments 23, possibly with a smaller thickness to have a certain flexibility. The aim is to define a kind of continuous and waterproof tray that covers the bottom and extends beyond this bottom to collect the crust that comes off the cheese when scraping or rosettes when they are formed at the bottom. using the knife.

La forme des segments de paroi latérale 23 est sensiblement rectangulaire ou carrée dans la réalisation représentée. En outre, ces segments sont articulés, le long de leur côté inférieur, au fond 14 de forme polygonale. Ils peuvent présenter des formes différentes. A tire d'exemple, le côté supérieur pourrait être arrondi. Les articulations pourraient être localisées seulement sur une partie du côté inférieur. La boîte pourrait être circulaire et les segments de paroi latérale auraient alors une section de secteurs circulaires.The shape of the side wall segments 23 is substantially rectangular or square in the embodiment shown. In addition, these segments are articulated, along their lower side, at the bottom 14 of polygonal shape. They can have different shapes. For example, the upper side could be rounded. The joints could be located only on part of the lower side. The box could be circular and the sidewall segments would then have a section of circular sectors.

La figure 3 représente une forme de réalisation du dispositif de conditionnement 10 vu de dessous. Dans cet exemple, le fond 14 est en matière synthétique moulée ainsi que la plate-forme de support 17 qui est intégrée à ce fond. Cette forme de construction permet de réduire les coûts et de créer un produit esthétique et résistant, notamment grâce à la présence de nervures de renfort 25 disposées en étoile sous la plate-forme de support 17. En outre des logements appropriés sont ménagés sur ou sous cette plate-forme de support 17 pour accueillir la tige rigide 19 et le couteau rotatif 20. De ce fait, tous les composants nécessaires à l'utilisateur sont réunis dans le même dispositif de conditionnement 10 et cet ensemble peut être commercialisé de façon groupée dans le même secteur commercial correspondant à la vente des fromages.Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the packaging device 10 seen from below. In this example, the bottom 14 is molded synthetic material and the support platform 17 which is integrated in this background. This form of construction makes it possible to reduce costs and to create an aesthetic and resistant product, in particular thanks to the presence of reinforcement ribs 25 arranged in a star under the support platform 17. In addition, suitable housings are provided on or under this support platform 17 to accommodate the rigid rod 19 and the rotary knife 20. As a result, all the components necessary for the user are combined in the same packaging device 10 and this set can be grouped in the same commercial sector corresponding to the sale of cheeses.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe qui représente la meule de fromage 11 posée sur la plate-forme de support 17 sur laquelle la tige rigide 19 a été montée et qui traverse cette meule de fromage. On constate que la boîte 12 est fermée, c'est-à-dire que le couvercle amovible 16 est engagé sur le corps 13 et maintient en position la paroi latérale, et plus exactement les segments 23 de paroi latérale, à l'état replié. En fait, le dispositif de conditionnement 10 est destiné à être utilisé après un ou plusieurs usages pour servir de réceptacle à la meule de fromage 11 partiellement consommée. A cet effet, cette meule reste en place sur la tige rigide 19, elle-même solidaire de la plate-forme de support 17. Seul le couteau est retiré pour être nettoyé. II peut ensuite être remis en place dans son logement représenté par la figure 3. On notera que le bord latéral du couvercle amovible 16 est suffisamment haut pour recouvrir en partie la paroi latérale 15 du corps 13 de la boîte 12.Figure 4 is a sectional view showing the cheese wheel 11 placed on the support platform 17 on which the rigid rod 19 has been mounted and which passes through this cheese wheel. It is found that the box 12 is closed, that is to say that the removable cover 16 is engaged on the body 13 and maintains in position the side wall, and more precisely the side wall segments 23, in the folded state . In fact, the packaging device 10 is intended to be used after one or more uses to serve as a receptacle for the cheese wheel 11 partially consumed. For this purpose, the wheel remains in place on the rigid rod 19, itself secured to the support platform 17. Only the knife is removed to be cleaned. It can then be replaced in its housing shown in FIG. 3. It will be noted that the lateral edge of the removable cover 16 is sufficiently high to partially cover the lateral wall 15 of the body 13 of the box 12.

La figure 5 est une vue en coupe illustrant une phase d'utilisation du dispositif de conditionnement 10. La meule de fromage 11 est en place sur la plate-forme de support 17 et la paroi latérale est déployée pour constituer ledit rebord 18. Les segments 23 de paroi latérale sont étalés à plat et reliés au fond 14 par des articulations constituées par exemple par une zone de moindre épaisseur 26.Figure 5 is a sectional view illustrating a phase of use of the packaging device 10. The cheese wheel 11 is in place on the support platform 17 and the side wall is deployed to form said flange 18. The segments 23 sidewall are spread flat and connected to the bottom 14 by joints formed for example by a zone of lesser thickness 26.

Les figures 6A, 6B et 6C représentent des vues partielles illustrant une autre forme de réalisation de la paroi latérale 15 de la boîte 12. Selon cette construction, les segments 23 de paroi latérale et les éléments de liaison 24 sont réalisés en un même matériau, par exemple une feuille cartonnée, éventuellement plastifiée ou une matière synthétique de faible épaisseur. Les éléments de liaison 24 sont liés aux segments 23 de paroi latérale par des articulations 27 obtenues par exemple par une réduction de l'épaisseur de matière, et comportent au moins un pli central 28, ou éventuellement plusieurs plis (représentés en trait interrompu), qui permettent de les replier entièrement, comme le montre la figure 6C, pour les escamoter à l'intérieur de la boîte. La figure 6B représente la position entièrement déployée et la figure 6A illustre une position intermédiaire.FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C show partial views illustrating another embodiment of the side wall 15 of the box 12. According to this construction, the side wall segments 23 and the connecting elements 24 are made of the same material, for example a cardboard sheet, possibly plasticized or a thin synthetic material. The connecting elements 24 are connected to the side wall segments 23 by joints 27 obtained for example by a reduction in the material thickness, and comprise at least one central fold 28, or possibly several folds (shown in broken lines), which allow to fold them completely, as shown in Figure 6C, to retract them inside the box. Figure 6B shows the fully deployed position and Figure 6A illustrates an intermediate position.
