Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container and sup ⁇ port for food products, which can also be used for the fa- cilitated slicing thereof.
- the invention relates to a con ⁇ tainer for food products to be sliced (such as, in this case, raw ham) , preliminarily processed on an industrial scale, by shaping them into predefined forms (substantially rectangular) , to allow the regularity of the slice from the beginning to the end.
- the first effect was an increase in the sale of pre- sliced food products in self-service areas of various sales points, with sales proposals having various gram-weights and types of packaging capable of satisfying the various demands of the customer.
- Said product industrially processed at temperatures of about -10 0 C, is capable of responding without problems to demands relating to industrial slicing.
- blocks Even if washed and preformed products (“blocks”) are currently capable of responding to new expectations with respect to industrial slicing operations, this is not the case (or it is so with strong limitations) for sales opera- tions, as, as already mentioned, shopkeepers are not organ ⁇ ized for treating products at low temperatures (-10 0 C) and this situation causes the loss of compactness of preformed products (“blocks”) , which, as they are sliced manually, are heated both by the environment and by physical contact with the operator's hands.
- An objective of the present invention therefore re ⁇ lates to a container which can be used for the facilitated slicing of food products which overcomes the drawbacks men- tioned above, i.e. to produce a container and support for food products to be sliced, which allows the operator to use preformed food products (such as salami in general, and, in particular, raw ham) on an industrial scale accord ⁇ ing to a predefined structure (the case of the "block" shape is typical) , guaranteeing compactness and uniformity of the product from the beginning to the end.
- preformed food products such as salami in general, and, in particular, raw ham
- a further objective of the present invention is to provide a container which can be used for the facilitated slicing of food products, which allows the preformed food product to be preserved at the classical temperatures of a cooled counter (+3/+5°C) , without having to subject it to temperatures (-10 0 C) which can only be reached on an indus ⁇ trial scale, such as those necessary for the curing of the preformed product .
- Another objective is to provide a container which can be used for the facilitated slicing of food products, in an extremely easy manner and at relatively limited costs, in virtue of the advantages obtained.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the container which can be used for the slicing of food products, in particular salami, according to the invention, in a closed position;
- - figure 2 shows a perspective view of the container which can be used for the slicing of food products, in particular salami, according to the invention, in an open position
- - figure 3 is a perspective view of a buffer device, which can also be used as cursor, for moving the preformed food product inside the container, object of the present inven ⁇ tion;
- figure 4 is a plan view from below of the buffer device according to figure 3;
- FIG. 5 is an exploded view which illustrates the inser ⁇ tion procedure of the buffer device inside the container, according to the invention
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the container, in an open position, complete with the buffer device positioned inside, according to the present invention
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the container, in a closed position, containing a preformed food product to be sliced, according to the invention.
- 10 generically indicates the container, made of an atoxic material (for food) and sized and shaped so as to have a form suitable for the insertion of the preformed food product to be sliced.
- the container 10 can be used for the fa ⁇ cilitated slicing of preformed food products in general and, in particular, salami, preferably "block"-shaped raw ham, i.e. seasoned raw ham, boneless, rindless and shaped into a rectangular parallelepiped form, so as to allow the regularity of the cutting of the slice from the beginning to the end of the product.
- the container 10 in a preferred illustrative embodiment, consists of a shaped shell, made up of an upper portion 11 and a lower portion 12.
- the portions 11 and 12 are semi-elliptically shaped, slightly curved at the sides and can have a series of rein ⁇ forcing bands or strips 13, in relief, on the outside.
- the portions 11 and 12 are also longitudinally con ⁇ nected to each other by .
- the lower portion 12 of the shell is also equipped with a protection bottom 16, again made of an atoxic mate ⁇ rial, for food products, and with a substantially ellipti- cal shape, so as to be perfectly coupled with the end por ⁇ tion of the upper shell 11.
- a buffer device 18 (figure 3) , comprising a cylin- drical element 22 surmounted by a substantially elliptical portion 20, shaped so as to be able to contained inside the shell portions 11, 12.
- the buffer device 18 has, in its elliptical portion 20 and below this, two pegs 19, suitable for being inserted in the guide holes 17 of the shell 12.
- the buffer device 18 actually forms an inner cursor which acts as a support for the bottom of the preformed food product, generically indicated with 21 in figure 7, during the slicing operation of the latter.
- the buffer 18 can in fact be moved along the bottom of the shell 12 (by lifting the pegs 19 from a pair of pass- through holes 17 and inserting them in corresponding pairs of holes 17) , with the progressive reduction of the pre ⁇ formed food product 21 (for example, of the "block" of raw ham) following slicing.
- figure 6 shows one of the possible positions of the buffer 18 inside the container 10
- figure 7 illustrates the slicing procedure of the preformed food product 21, which must protrude slightly from the el ⁇ liptical front opening of the container 10 for effecting the slicing operation, once the container 10 has been closed.
- the pass-through holes 17 can be substituted with portions or areas in relief of the bottom of the shell 12, suitable for maintaining the buffer device 18 in position, which, in this case, does not have pegs 19 in correspondence with the elliptical portion 20.
- the procedures for the use of the container 10, object of the present invention are therefore essentially as fol ⁇ lows.
- the buffer device 18 is placed in the desired position by the insertion of the pegs 19 into a predetermined pair of holes 17 i.e. between prefixed re ⁇ lieves of the bottom of the shell 12, so that the bottom of the preformed product 21 rests against the surface 20 of the buffer 18 and the part to be sliced protrudes forwards, beyond the front edge of the seat 25 of the container 10.
- the insertion of the preformed food product 21 (which can consist, in particular, of a "block" of raw ham) inside the container 10 therefore eliminates the direct contact of the operator with the product to be sliced, thus avoiding an increase in temperature of the product itself and a con ⁇ sequent loss of compactness of the structure.
- the form of the container 10 the same as that of the preformed product 21, allows the compactness of the product to be further maintained, which is necessary for a positive result for the use of this type of preformed food product.
