Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved hermetically sealed display container for perishable products, in particular for foodstuffs.
- the product in the container compartment is protected by isolating the compartment from the outside environment with an isolating barrier associated with the container and by creating a vacuum or controlled atmosphere in the compartment.
- the isolating barrier is designed to prevent air from entering from the outside (for example when a vacuum has been created in the container) or to prevent inert gases (which may have been introduced into the compartment to prevent air from reaching the product, oxidising it and/or in any case accelerating its deterioration) from escaping from the compartment towards the outside environment around the container.
- the barrier is normally obtained by applying to the container a thin film of plastic material which is stretched over the contents of the container, extended under its edges and sealed or glued continuously to the edges of the container.
- the erection process is responsible for creating characteristic wrinkling of the surface of the material, mainly concentrated around the concave corners, delimited by two adjacent lateral walls of the container and around the convex corners delimited by the edge of the container and by the lateral walls.
- Said technology solves the above-mentioned problems by producing special reinforcement edges which have particular shell-like geometric shapes designed to continuously overlap and wrap around the top parts of the container lateral walls.
- Such edges have concave interior surfaces, designed to adhere, with substantially mating surface contact, with the container lateral walls below and they have convex, smooth exterior surfaces, which give the container as a whole a continuous, smooth border, against which the sealing film can easily be sealed, without interruptions, along the entire border of the container, thus guaranteeing a satisfactory container hermetic seal.
- the main aim of the present invention is to make improvements to the prior art containers designed to further increase the effectiveness of the hermetic seal and to make it even longer lasting, so as to allow not just improvement of the performance of prior art containers, but also an expansion of the range of use, so that they can be used as display containers for more perishable fresh foodstuffs.
- the present invention also has for an aim to increase - at the same time as achieving improved seal conditions - the stiffness of the prior art containers, thus allowing them to be less deformable if they contain a large quantity of product and/or if the packs of products using such containers are handled in a way that is not particularly delicate and careful.
- the invention also has for an aim to provide relatively inexpensive containers with a relatively low weight.
- the present invention provides a container whose technical features can clearly be inferred from the content of the claims herein, in particular claim 1 and any of the claims directly or indirectly dependent on claim 1.
- the numeral 1 denotes as a whole a hermetically sealed display container for perishable products, in particular for foodstuffs, basically consisting of two fundamental components, respectively a tray 2 and an annular element 7, which can be associated with one another to form a whole, illustrated in Figure 2 .
- the tray 2 is delimited by a flat base 3 and lateral walls 4 which are at a right angle or oblique angle to the base 3, which, combined, surround a cavity 5 designed to receive products.
- the container 1 lateral walls 4 have a top edge 6, distal to the base 3, projecting from the walls 4 outwards to form an overhang and parallel with the base 3, running continuously along the entire border of the container 1.
- the annular element 7 substantially has the shape of a channel-like shell with a concave interior surface 21 (see Figure 5 ), facing the top of the lateral walls 4 - including the edge 6 - and a convex exterior surface 8, facing the space outside the container 1.
- the interior surface 21, which may be smooth or corrugated, is associated by overlapping and substantial surface mating with the top edge 6 of the lateral walls 4, also affecting, continuously along the container 1 border, a top band 22 of the walls 4, inside the container 1 receiving cavity 5.
- the exterior surface 8 is continuous and designed to constrain to it a container 1 airtight sealing barrier 9.
- the barrier 9 may be formed by a conventional plastic film stretched over the container 1 receiving cavity 5 and fixed to the exterior surface 8 of the annular element 7 by heat-sealing, ultrasonic sealing, gluing or other similar known technologies.
- the exterior surface 8 of the shell-shaped annular element 7, facing outwards has a groove 10 along it, running without interruption along the top edge 6 of the container 1 and dividing the exterior surface 8 into two strips 11 and 12 on either side of the groove 10, designed to constrain, independently of one another, the airtight sealing barrier 9, which is fixed at them to the edge 6 by two seals, or by two lots of glue, parallel and independent of one another.
- the inert gases normally introduced under pressure in the container 1 receiving cavity 5 to protect the products contained could in theory leak out, passing between the barrier 9 and the edge 6 and passing the first strip 11 (for example getting through at some local defect in adhesion between the connected parts), it is possible to see how the presence of the compartment 13 constitutes an expansion chamber in which any fluids which have leaked out dissipate their energy, thus no longer being able to proceed any further and to go past the second strip 12, if this too has some potential local defect in adhesion.
- what was described above relative to internal gases could be repeated for those containers 1 in which the foodstuffs contained in them are protected by creating a vacuum in the compartment 3.
- the only difference compared with the above would be the nature of the fluid in theory passing through (air from the surrounding environment) and the direction of the fluid flow which, in this case, would be from outside to the inside of the container 1.
- Figure 5 shows that it is preferably delimited by a local concave projection 14 in the shell-shaped annular element 7, interpenetrating the edge 6 of the container 1 which, in turn, has a matching cavity 15 for receiving the projection 14.
- the container 1 Due to the presence of the annular element 7 projection 14 and the cavity 15 in the edge 6 below it, interpenetrating one another, the container 1 is significantly stiffened compared with conventional containers: this allows not only achievement of a more effective hermetic seal, but also the possibility of reduced deformability under a greater weight of the contents and, or even, a greater capacity to withstand rough handling of the container 1 without excessive deformation.
- the container 1 When the container 1 is obtained by erecting a flat sheet of cardboard, cellulose or other similar materials in sheet form, that is to say, when it has characteristic and unavoidable corrugated surfaces due to the erecting process, placing the annular element 7 over the inner band 22 of the lateral walls 4 of the container 1 forms passages 18 along which the fluid could pass from the container 1 receiving cavity 5 to the outside or vice versa.
- the projection 14 at walls 16 and 17 which are opposite one another, in contact and adhering, belonging to the annular element 7 and the container 1 edge 6, creates sudden deviations in the course of the passages 18 which allow the generation of high local resistance that prevents the advance of any fluid which passes inside the passages 18.
- the interior surface 21 may also be corrugated, so that, being opposite an equally corrugated surface 20 of the inner upper band 22 of the lateral walls 4, it too would contribute to the formation of the passages 18. Therefore, in that case too, the presence of the projection 14 and the cavity 15 in the edge 6 interpenetrating one another is fundamental to intercepting the passage of any fluids which may pass through the passages 18.
- the effectiveness of the airtight seal at the passages 18 may be further increased when the projection 14 is associated with the container 1 edges 6 by pressing and squeezing them together, so that the materials of which the two parts are made interpenetrate one another, further minimising the transit cross-section of the passages 18.
- the effectiveness of the airtight seal is also enhanced at the passages 18 by the presence, on the edge 6 of the lateral walls 4, of another edge 19, distal and external to the projection 14, where the shell-shaped annular element 7 and the container 1 edge 6 are bent at an angle together.
- the invention described fulfils the preset aims and allows low cost materials and relatively simple and economical erecting processes (container 1 erection from sheet) to be used to make containers able to provide airtight seal conditions found in much more expensive containers, produced using completely different and much more costly technologies.
