Abstract

A frozen food items container has a mainly flat floor on which is enclosed an oval encircling wall (14) open at the top and on which a lock is mounted. At the transition between floor and wall (14) is provided an expansion channel.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter für Tiefkühlkost gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a container for frozen food according to the preamble of claim 1.

Speiseeis oder andere Tiefkühlkost wird in kostengünstigen und tiefkühlfähigen Kunststoffbehältern transportiert und gelagert. Allerdings ist es für den Endverbraucher häufig schwierig auch den letzten Rest des Eises aus den Kanten und Ecken des Behälters heraus zu bekommen, so dass häufig ein Rest in dem Behälter verbleibt und nicht genutzt wird.Ice cream or other frozen food is transported and stored in low-cost and refrigerated plastic containers. However, it is often difficult for the end user to get even the last of the ice out of the edges and corners of the container, often leaving a residue in the container and not being used.

Davon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Tiefkühlkost auch aus den Kanten und Ecken leicht und vollständig herausnehmbar ist.On this basis, the present invention, the object of the invention to provide a container of the type mentioned, in which the frozen food is easily and completely removed even from the edges and corners.

Als technische Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß ein Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 vorgeschlagen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen dieses Behälters sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.As a technical solution to this problem, a container with the features of claim 1 is proposed according to the invention. Advantageous developments of this container can be found in the dependent claims.

Ein nach dieser technischen Lehre ausgebildeter Behälter hat den Vorteil, dass es dem Endverbraucher in einfacher Weise möglich ist, Speiseeis (oder andere Tiefkühlkost) aus der Erweiterungsrinne zu entnehmen, insbesondere wenn der innere Radius der Erweiterungsrinne dem Radius einer Löffelspitze entspricht, um somit den Behälter vollständig zu entleeren.A trained according to this technical teaching container has the advantage that it is possible for the end user in a simple manner to remove ice cream (or other frozen food) from the expansion channel, especially if the inner radius of the expansion channel corresponds to the radius of a spoon tip, thus the container completely empty.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass der Behälter durch die Erweiterungsrinne eine höhere Stabilität bekommt. Hierdurch wird die Haptik des Behälters verbessert. Alternativ kann auch die Materialstärke reduziert werden, was zu einer Kostenersparnis führt.Another advantage is that the container gets a higher stability through the expansion channel. As a result, the feel of the container is improved. Alternatively, the material thickness can be reduced, resulting in a cost savings.

Durch die umlaufende Ausbildung der Erweiterungsrinne werden im gesamten Behälter enge Kanten und Ecken eliminiert, so dass der Inhalt des Bechers leicht zugänglich ist.The circumferential design of the expansion channel eliminates narrow edges and corners throughout the container, making the contents of the cup easily accessible.

Die Ausbildung der Erweiterungsrinne zumindest teilweise unterhalb des Bodens hat den Vorteil, dass die Erweiterungsrinne als Sockel eingesetzt werden kann, auf dem der Behälter aufsteht.The formation of the expansion channel at least partially below the bottom has the advantage that the expansion channel can be used as a base on which the container stands up.

Die Ausbildung von bis zu vier Ausbuchtungen erhöht die die Standfestigkeit, da der Behälter hierdurch im Bereich des Fußes breiter wird.The formation of up to four bulges increases the stability, since the container is thereby wider in the foot area.

Weitere Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters ergeben sich aus der beigefügten Zeichnung und den nachstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen. Ebenso können die vorstehend genannten und die noch weiter ausgeführten Merkmale erfindungsgemäß jeweils einzeln oder in beliebigen Kombinationen miteinander verwendet werden. Die erwähnten Ausführungsformen sind nicht als abschließende Aufzählung zu verstehen, sondern haben vielmehr beispielhaften Charakter. Es zeigen:

Further advantages of the container according to the invention will become apparent from the accompanying drawings and the embodiments described below. Likewise, according to the invention, the above-mentioned features and those which are still further developed can be used individually or in any desired combinations with one another. The mentioned embodiments are not to be understood as an exhaustive list, but rather have exemplary character. Show it:

In den Figuren 1 bis 5 ist eine Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Behälters 10 dargestellt, der einen im Wesentlichen ebenen Boden 12 und eine oval umlaufende Wandung 14 umfasst. Die Wandung 14 ist nach oben erweitert ausgebildet, so dass ein oberer Rand der Wandung 14 über den eigentlichen Boden 12 übersteht.In the FIGS. 1 to 5 an embodiment of a container 10 according to the invention is shown, which comprises a substantially flat bottom 12 and an oval circumferential wall 14. The wall 14 is formed extended upward, so that an upper edge of the wall 14 projects beyond the actual bottom 12.

In der Wandung sind vier Ausbuchtungen 16 vorgesehen, die sich vom unteren Rand der Wandung 14 nach oben hin verjüngen. Zwischen dem Boden 12 und der Wandung 14 ist eine Erweiterungsrinne 18 vorgesehen, die der Außenkontur der Wandung 14 folgt, das heißt die auch den Ausbuchtungen 16 folgt. Diese Erweiterungsrinne 18 hat einen inneren Radius 20, der im Wesentlichen dem Radius einer Löffelspitze entspricht.In the wall four lobes 16 are provided, which taper from the bottom of the wall 14 upwards. Between the bottom 12 and the wall 14, an expansion channel 18 is provided, which follows the outer contour of the wall 14, that is, which also follows the bulges 16. This expansion channel 18 has an inner radius 20 which substantially corresponds to the radius of a bucket tip.

Erfahrungsgemäß liegt dieser Radius im Bereich zwischen 2 mm und 10 mm, vorzugsweise bei 4 mm.Experience has shown that this radius is in the range between 2 mm and 10 mm, preferably 4 mm.

Die Erweiterungsrinne 18 ist um den Boden 12 umlaufend ausgebildet und stellt somit ein Bindeglied zwischen dem Boden 12 und der Wandung 14, einschließlich der Ausbuchtungen 16 dar.The expansion channel 18 is formed around the bottom 12 circumferentially and thus provides a link between the bottom 12 and the wall 14, including the bulges 16.

Die Ausbuchtungen 16 besitzen einen inneren Radius 22, der sehr viel größer als der innere Radius 20 der Erweiterungsrinne 18 ist. Dieser innere Radius 22 der Ausbuchtungen 16 ist zwischen 10 mm und 40 mm, vorzugsweise 20 mm.The bulges 16 have an inner radius 22 which is much larger than the inner radius 20 of the extension channel 18. This inner radius 22 of the protrusions 16 is between 10 mm and 40 mm, preferably 20 mm.

In der in den Figuren 1 bis 5 dargestellten Ausführungsformen schließt sich die Erweiterungsrinne 18 derart an den Boden 12 an, dass die Unterkante der Erweiterungsrinne 18 unterhalb der Unterseite des Bodens 12 liegt, so dass die Erweiterungsrinne 18 als Auflager für den Behälter 10 dient und der Behälter 10 selbst nur auf der Erweiterungsrinne 18 aufsteht.In the in the FIGS. 1 to 5 1, the expansion gutter 18 adjoins the bottom 12 such that the lower edge of the expansion gutter 18 lies below the underside of the base 12, so that the expansion gutter 18 serves as a support for the container 10 and the container 10 itself only on the expansion gutter 18 gets up.

In einer anderen, hier nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform ist die Unterseite des Bodens eben ausgebildet, wobei sich die Erweiterungsrinne derart an den Boden anschließt, dass der tiefste Punkt der Erweiterungsrinne mit der Unterseite des Bodens fluchtet. Hierdurch entsteht eine ebene Fläche, die als Standfläche des Behälters fungiert.In another, not shown embodiment, the underside of the bottom is flat, with the expansion channel connects to the ground in such a way that the lowest point of the expansion channel is flush with the bottom of the floor. This creates a flat surface, which acts as a base of the container.
