Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of packaging. It relates more particularly to an improvement in containers in which is poured or molded a foodstuff like cheese, flan, terrine or pâté, which has the property of solidifying, either directly after conditioning, or during its cooling after heating (by example after a sterilization or pasteurization operation).
  • Certain foodstuffs such as cheddar cheeses, puddings, terrines or pâtés, are in a semi-liquid or pasty state during their preparation and their containment, then take on a gelatinous or solid consistency ( by their intrinsic characteristics, or after cooling, especially following a sterilization or pasteurization operation).
  • some containers have a bottom element that can be degraded at least partially to allow outside air entry.
  • these containers then have a fairly complex structure, or require the use of a cutting or cutting object to achieve the desired degradation.
  • the Applicant has developed a new container structure, the means of which facilitate the release of the packaged food have a very simple structure and very easy to implement.
  • the container according to the present invention comprises a base member associated with a belt of flared side walls, and said bottom member has a generally convex stable convex shape seen from the outside, which is able to be deformed by applying pressure on its outer surface, so as to provide a generally concave shape, seen from the outside; this deformation since the convex shape up to the concave shape ensures an outward thrust of the packaged commodity, this thrust releasing around said food a passage for air that promotes demolding.
  • the bottom element is surrounded by a protruding peripheral rim, with a generally U or V-shaped cross-section, forming a base structure, the height of this base structure being greater than the deflection of the base domed bottom element.
  • This base structure is advantageously connected to the bottom element by a hinged arcuate section portion for the passage of the bottom element from the convex to concave position.
  • the bottom member is in two stable positions, one convex and the other concave.
  • the container comprises a circular bottom element associated with a belt of frustoconical walls, said bottom element then being in the general shape of a spherical portion or spherical cap.
  • the bottom element is structured to obtain a deformation of the side wall belt during its passage from the convex shape to the concave shape, this to optimize the external air inlet between the packaged product and the container.
  • the base element is advantageously structured to obtain a slight decrease in its diameter during its passage from the convex shape to the concave shape (seen from the outside), this to obtain a slight further flare of the belt side walls, relative to its initial stable position, causing the entrance of outside air sought.
  • the container according to the present invention is advantageously made of metallic material of aluminum or steel type.
  • the container 1 is suitable for containing a foodstuff 2, for example cheese, flan, terrine, pâté, etc ... whose consistency is of solid or gelatinous type after conditioning, for example after casting or molding.
  • this container 1 is structured to facilitate the demolding of this commodity 2.
  • the corresponding container 1 is made in one piece of a suitable rigid material, preferably a metal material of steel or aluminum type. It has a generally frustoconical shape, composed of a circular bottom element 3 associated with a belt of frustoconical lateral walls 4. The upper peripheral edge 5 of the wall belt 4 delimits a circular opening 6 adapted to be equipped with a lid reported (not shown).
  • the thickness of the bottom 3 and the walls 4 may be of the order of a few hundredths of a millimeter.
  • the bottom element 3 has a generally convex, convex bulge shape viewed from the outside; more specifically, this bottom element 3 is in the general form of a portion of sphere, dome or spherical cap.
  • the arrow f of the curved bottom element 3 may be between a few millimeters and a few tens of millimeters.
  • this curved bottom element 3 is structured to be deformed by a pressure made from the outside, so as to make it take a curved convex configuration (view from the outside).
  • the bottom element 3 is surrounded by a projecting peripheral edge monobloc 7 forming base.
  • This base edge 7 has a general U-shaped or V-shaped section whose height is slightly greater than the arrow f of the curved bottom element 3.
  • the base edge 7 is connected to the periphery of this bottom element 3 by a portion in an arc 8; this portion 8 with the U-shaped or V-shaped section forms a hinge to allow the aforementioned deformation of the bottom element 3.
  • the structure of the latter and in particular that of its bottom element 3 is adapted to facilitate the demolding operation through the opening 6.
  • the container 1 is returned, its opening 6 is oriented downwards (Figure 3). Then, it suffices for a person to exert pressure (for example with the fingers) on the external surface of the bottom element 3, so as to cause its passage from the generally convex shape, to a concave shape (Figure 4).
  • the convex form of departure is stable; the concave shape is here also stable, but the stability once the demolding initiated, even if it is interesting, is not necessary. Thus, it is possible to envisage an embodiment variant in which the concave shape would not be stable.
  • the foodstuff 2 in block thus separated from its container 1, is discharged through the upper opening 6, for example to be deposited on a dish for consumption.
  • the demolded product 2 retains the aesthetic characteristics conferred by the molding in the container 1, and it undergoes little or no deterioration during the corresponding demolding operation.
  • the displacement of the molded product 2, obtained by passing from the convex shape to the concave shape of the bottom element 3, is preponderant to ensure a passage of air from the outside to the space created at the level of said bottom element 3 between the container 1 and the molded product 2.
  • This stroke is adapted case by case, depending on the characteristics of the molded product 2, and the dimensions of the container 1.
  • the type of material used for the container 1, the thicknesses of material, the arrow f of the curved bottom element 3, the structure of the base 7 and / or the flaring of the frustoconical walls 4 are adapted to allow the convex / concave deformation described above and to optimize the desired air passage.
  • the container may also be structured so that the passage of the bottom member 3 of the convex shape to the concave shape causes a slight decrease in its diameter, and thus causes a slight further flare of the wall belt. 4, intended to further promote the entry of outside air between said bottom element 3 and the packaged commodity 2.
  • the container may have a non-circular horizontal section, for example square or rectangular.
  • the container according to the invention has the advantage of allowing, by means of a very simple structure, a quick and efficient demolding of packaged food 2.
