Definitions
- the present invention relates to a package particularly adapted to contain a soft cheese under improved ripening and preservation conditions, the package comprising a base and a bell-type lid which is clipped on a rim of this base.
- the invention applies in particular to the packaging of a soft cheese with a bloomy rind, such as, for example, a Camembert, as a non-limiting example.
- He is known by the document FR-A-2,819,496 packaging cheese in a package obtained by removably mounting the lower peripheral edge of a bell against a peripheral bead of a square-shaped base.
- This bead has lights cooperating with complementary projections which are formed on the bell above the edge thereof and which close these lights during assembly of the bell on the base, which further has clipping means of the bell in each of its corners.
- a major disadvantage of the packaging described in this document is that it does not ensure satisfactory refining or conditioning of soft cheeses such as pie charts, in particular.
- soft cheese in known manner a cheese whose consistency or firmness of the dough, defined by the percentage of water content in the cheese degreased (TEFD), is greater than 67 (for example a camembert, non-restrictive), this percentage being calculated according to paragraph 7.1.1. of the general standard for CODEX cheese STAN A-6-1978, Rev. 1-1999. As stated in this standard, the TEFD (%) is equal to 100 x (weight of water in cheese) / (total weight of cheese - weight of fat in cheese).
- base is meant in the present description a tray for supporting the cheese and to receive at its periphery the lid of the package, that this periphery is substantially circular, oval, square, rectangular or other shape.
- bell it is also understood to mean a cover having an apex, for example substantially flat or convex, which extends downwards by a peripheral lateral wall which may be substantially vertical and / or oblique and around, for example circular, oval or polygonal.
- the mounting interface of the cover on the base is chosen circular to facilitate this assembly, without having to center the front cover angularly on the base.
- the said ventilation orifice (s) are especially designed, by their number and the passage section that they (they) get (s) between the internal air and the external air to the packaging, to let the cheese breathe optimally without drying it, and to maintain satisfactory storage conditions before and after opening the package.
- a plurality of said ventilation orifices are formed at regular distance intervals along said rim, these orifices being able to define a total passage section of between 5 mm 2 and 200 mm 2 and, preferably, between 20 mm 2 and 50 mm 2 .
- these orifices may have a larger dimension (for example a diameter in the case of a circular or semicircular orifice, or a diagonal in the case of a polygonal orifice) of between 2 mm and 4 mm, and these orifices may be present in a number between 2 and 20.
- At least one of these ventilation orifices may advantageously have a shape capable of preventing the passage of drops of condensates, such as water droplets, through said rim, so that these drops are confined inside the package between said flange and said bottom.
- This form of orifice (s) capable of preventing the passage of these drops may for example be of the elliptical (eg circular) type, with at least one diametrical partitioning, of polygonal type with at least one medial or diagonal partitioning, or of cross type, non-limiting.
- said edge may have two substantially vertical sections respectively internal and external which are interconnected and which may be designed to clip on either side of a substantially vertical end portion of said flange, the or each ventilation port being formed towards the inside of the inner section.
- this inner portion may be designed to cooperate with a boss that has said end portion on its inner face, to ensure the clipping of the cover on the base.
- edge of the lid and the edge of the base it should be noted that this clipping could be achieved by discontinuous clipping portions of said edge and / or said flange, it being understood that by “peripheral edge” and “edge peripheral “within the meaning of the present description means an edge and a rim that can be both continuous (ie in one piece over the entire perimeter concerned) that discontinuous (ie constituted by elements cooperating with each other in the same way, but spaced on the perimeter concerned).
- said or each ventilation orifice may be formed through an internal portion substantially horizontal of said flange, immediately adjacent to said inner portion.
- cover shims are formed protruding outwardly on a side wall of the lid above said inner section, each shim being adapted to receive the lower end of this inner section so as to ensure the stacking of lids by interlocking their respective side walls.
- said base may further comprise a peripheral channel surrounding said bottom via an internal ditch side wall and surrounded by said flange via an external side channel wall, this channel being then formed below said bottom and being intended to collect the condensates formed by the cheese inside the package.
- said inner portion of said rim may advantageously form a guide rail for condensate drops to said channel.
- base blocks are formed on said outer side channel wall, these wedges projecting inwardly of said channel to allow the stacking of a plurality of bases.
- said bottom may advantageously have a convex inner surface, so as to have a central zone slightly raised relative to a peripheral zone of this bottom.
- the packaging may further comprise tamper-proof means which are capable of breaking during a first opening of this package and which are formed in one piece with said edge of the lid .
- tamperproof means may advantageously comprise at least one breakable tongue forming part of integral of said outer portion of this edge, excluding said inner portion which remains intact after breaking this tab.
- the lid of the package according to the invention is made of deformable plastic material
- the base can be made of deformable plastic material or based on plant fibers, for example.
- said package contains the above-mentioned cheese which is of soft type and preferably with a flowery rind.
- Packaging 1 illustrated preferentially to Figures 1 to 5 is especially adapted to contain a soft cheese with a bloomy rind, such as a camembert, and it essentially comprises a deformable base 2, for example made of polypropylene which is in this example of a circular shape and on which a clip is clipped 3 3 'deformable bell-shaped section also circular and for example made of the same material as the base 2 (as indicated above, the base and the cover could have any other geometry adapted to the shape of the product to be packaged).
- the cover 3 has in this example a side wall 4, 4 'of substantially cylindrical shape (slightly conical in the example shown) ending in a top 5, 5' substantially in the form of flat disc.
- the flange 10 has a substantially L-shaped radial section and is disposed at the upper end 90 of the wall 9 opposite the bottom 6, radially away from the wall 9.
- the flange 10 of the base 2 provided with these orifices 12 extends integrally above the bottom 6 of the latter, despite its convexity.
- This cover 3, 3 ' has a peripheral edge 15 (in this case also circular) which constitutes the lower end of the side wall 4, 4' and which comprises two substantially vertical sections radially inner 16 and external 17, which are respectively designed for clipping on either side of the free flared end 14 of the base 2, and which are interconnected by a horizontal connecting section 18 projecting from the side wall 4.
- the radially inner face of the outer portion 13 has a peripheral boss 19 above which is formed the flared free end 14 and which cooperates with a similar boss 19a of the radially outer face of the inner section 16 in the clipping position (see figures 4 , 8 and 10 for these two bosses 19 and 19a).
- each of the ventilation orifices 12 (of diameter or more generally of greater transverse dimension d) is formed immediately adjacent to this inner portion 16 and radially inwardly of the latter, so that these orifices 12 have their faces.
- These holes 12 then allow their lower face 12 "to communicate the interior of the package 1 with the outside atmosphere (see Figures 6 and 7 ).
- the radially outer portion 13 does not block the communication of the ventilation holes with the atmosphere.
- the portion 13 extended towards the bottom and for example if its free end was near the bottom.
- the outer wall 9 and the rim 10 would have a substantially U-shaped radial section.
- the portion 13 extends away from the outer wall 9 relative to the portion 11 and leaves the orifices completely cleared.
- the circulation of air between the inside and the outside of the packaging is completely free.
- the Figures 13 to 30 show, in relation to the Figures 6 and 7 , examples of ventilation orifices 12a to 12r through which can be formed in the inner horizontal portion 11 of the rim 10 of base 2, 2 ', it being specified that the lower face 12 "of each orifice 12 may have an identical passage section or different from that of the upper face 12 'of the orifice 12a to 12r (in the example of the Figures 6 and 7 each orifice 12 widens from its upper face 12 'to its lower face 12 ").
- Ports 12a to 12c according to Figures 13 to 15 are in the form of Greek crosses whose branches are for example perpendicular and of variable width and length (note that other forms of cross are usable).
- Ports 12d to 12g of Figures 16 to 19 are rectangular with right angles ( Figures 16 and 17 ) or rounded ( figure 18 ), while that of the figure 19 is flag-shaped (ie generally rectangular with large wavy sides).
- Ports 12h and 12i Figures 20 and 21 are ellipsoidal (orifice 12i of the figure 21 obtainable by a partial obstruction of an opening initially oval), while the orifice 12j of the figure 22 corresponds substantially to an oblong half-hole (truncated semicircular shape).
- the 12k to 12p ports Figures 25 to 30 they have in common to be polygonal, with an equilateral triangle 12k at the figure 25 , a diamond 121 at the figure 26 , a regular octagon 12m at the figure 27 , a regular pentagon 12n at the figure 28 , a regular hexagon 12o at the figure 29 and an isosceles trapezoid 12p at the figure 30 .
- other curved and / or broken shapes could be used for the ventilation holes 12, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the circular orifices 12q and 12r Figures 23 and 24 are different from the previous ones in that they are partitioned by a single partition C diametric in the example of the figure 23 , and by two perpendicular diametral partitions C1 and C2 in the example of the figure 24 , so that the obstruction obtained (see figure 7 ) prevents the passage of condensate droplets through these orifices 12q and 12r.
- each of these orifices 12a-12j and 12k-12p may be partially obstructed by a partition in the form of a lateral bar or of a cross, for example, as in the case of Figures 23 and 24 .
- the lid 3 ' may also comprise shoulders 20 in arcs which are regularly spaced on the periphery of the transition between the side wall 4' and the top 5 'of the lid 3' and which are intended to receive a peripheral projection 21 of the lower face of the base 2 formed by the bottom of the channel 7, to allow stable stacking of packages 1 closed by clipping.
- shims 22 designed to allow the stacking of several bases 2 may be formed at regular intervals from the outer wall 9 of the channel 7, projecting radially inwards on the bottom of the channel 7.
- shims 23 designed to allow the stacking of lids 3, 3 'by interlocking their respective side walls 4, 4' may further be formed projecting radially outwardly from the side wall 4, 4 'of each cover 3, 3 'and above the inner portion 16 of its edge 15, each shim 23 being adapted to receive the lower end of this inner portion 16.
- the figure 12 shows in turn a tamper-evident tongue structure 24 which can be formed integrally with the outer section 17 of the edge 15 and with the connecting portion 18 of the lid 3, 3 ', this tongue 24 being designed to break during a first opening of the package 1, leaving intact the remainder of this outer portion 17 and the entire internal section 16.

L'invention s'applique en particulier au conditionnement d'un fromage à pâte molle et à croûte fleurie, comme par exemple un camembert, à titre non limitatif.The present invention relates to a package particularly adapted to contain a soft cheese under improved ripening and preservation conditions, the package comprising a base and a bell-type lid which is clipped on a rim of this base. The invention applies in particular to the packaging of a soft cheese with a bloomy rind, such as, for example, a Camembert, as a non-limiting example.
Il est connu par le document
Un inconvénient majeur de l'emballage décrit dans ce document est qu'il ne permet pas d'assurer un affinage ni un conditionnement satisfaisant de fromages à pâte molle tels que des camemberts, notamment.A major disadvantage of the packaging described in this document is that it does not ensure satisfactory refining or conditioning of soft cheeses such as pie charts, in particular.
Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un emballage qui remédie à l'inconvénient précité, cet emballage étant en particulier adapté pour contenir un fromage à pâte molle dans des conditions d'affinage et de conservation améliorées, et comportant :
- un socle comprenant un fond destiné à recevoir le fromage et un rebord périphérique qui s'étend autour et au-dessus de ce fond,
- un couvercle de type cloche monté amovible sur le socle par un bord périphérique de ce couvercle qui coopère avec ledit rebord,
- a base comprising a bottom for receiving the cheese and a peripheral rim which extends around and above this bottom,
- a bell-type cover removably mounted on the base by a peripheral edge of this cover which cooperates with said flange,
Par « fromage à pâte molle », on entend de manière connue un fromage dont la consistance ou fermeté de la pâte, définie par le pourcentage de teneur en eau dans le fromage dégraissé (TEFD), est supérieure à 67 (par exemple un camembert, à titre non limitatif), ce pourcentage étant calculé conformément au paragraphe 7.1.1. de la norme générale pour le fromage CODEX STAN A-6-1978, Rev. 1-1999. Comme indiqué dans cette norme, le TEFD (%) est égal à 100 x (poids de l'eau dans le fromage) / (poids total du fromage - poids de matière grasse dans le fromage).By "soft cheese", is meant in known manner a cheese whose consistency or firmness of the dough, defined by the percentage of water content in the cheese degreased (TEFD), is greater than 67 (for example a camembert, non-restrictive), this percentage being calculated according to paragraph 7.1.1. of the general standard for CODEX cheese STAN A-6-1978, Rev. 1-1999. As stated in this standard, the TEFD (%) is equal to 100 x (weight of water in cheese) / (total weight of cheese - weight of fat in cheese).
Par « socle », on entend dans la présente description un plateau destiné à supporter le fromage et à recevoir à sa périphérie le couvercle de l'emballage, que cette périphérie soit de forme sensiblement circulaire, ovale, carrée, rectangulaire ou autre. Par « cloche », on entend de manière également connue un couvercle présentant un sommet par exemple sensiblement plat ou convexe qui se prolonge vers le bas par une paroi latérale périphérique pouvant être sensiblement verticale et/ou oblique et à pourtour par exemple circulaire, ovale ou polygonal. Avantageusement, l'interface de montage du couvercle sur le socle est choisie circulaire pour faciliter ce montage, sans avoir à centrer angulairement au préalable le couvercle sur le socle.By "base" is meant in the present description a tray for supporting the cheese and to receive at its periphery the lid of the package, that this periphery is substantially circular, oval, square, rectangular or other shape. By "bell", it is also understood to mean a cover having an apex, for example substantially flat or convex, which extends downwards by a peripheral lateral wall which may be substantially vertical and / or oblique and around, for example circular, oval or polygonal. Advantageously, the mounting interface of the cover on the base is chosen circular to facilitate this assembly, without having to center the front cover angularly on the base.
On notera que le(s)dit(s) orifice(s) de ventilation sont notamment conçus, de par leur nombre et la section de passage qu'il(s) procure(nt) entre l'air interne et l'air externe à l'emballage, pour laisser respirer le fromage de manière optimale sans pour autant le dessécher, et de maintenir des conditions de conservation satisfaisantes avant et après ouverture de l'emballage.It should be noted that the said ventilation orifice (s) are especially designed, by their number and the passage section that they (they) get (s) between the internal air and the external air to the packaging, to let the cheese breathe optimally without drying it, and to maintain satisfactory storage conditions before and after opening the package.
Avantageusement, une pluralité desdits orifices de ventilation sont formés à intervalles de distance réguliers le long dudit rebord, ces orifices pouvant définir une section de passage totale comprise entre 5 mm2 et 200 mm2 et, de préférence, entre 20 mm2 et 50 mm2.Advantageously, a plurality of said ventilation orifices are formed at regular distance intervals along said rim, these orifices being able to define a total passage section of between 5 mm 2 and 200 mm 2 and, preferably, between 20 mm 2 and 50 mm 2 .
Egalement avantageusement, ces orifices peuvent présenter une plus grande dimension (par exemple un diamètre dans le cas d'un orifice circulaire ou semi-circulaire, ou une diagonale dans le cas d'un orifice polygonal) comprise entre 2 mm et 4 mm, et ces orifices peuvent être présents selon un nombre compris entre 2 et 20.Also advantageously, these orifices may have a larger dimension (for example a diameter in the case of a circular or semicircular orifice, or a diagonal in the case of a polygonal orifice) of between 2 mm and 4 mm, and these orifices may be present in a number between 2 and 20.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'un au moins de ces orifices de ventilation peut avantageusement présenter une forme apte à empêcher le passage de gouttes de condensats, tels que des gouttelettes d'eau, à travers ledit rebord, de telle sorte que ces gouttes soient confinées à l'intérieur de l'emballage entre ledit rebord et ledit fond. Cette forme d'orifice(s) apte à empêcher le passage de ces gouttes peut par exemple être de type elliptique (e.g. circulaire), avec au moins un cloisonnement diamétral, de type polygonale avec au moins un cloisonnement médian ou diagonal, ou encore de type en croix, à titre non limitatif.According to another characteristic of the invention, at least one of these ventilation orifices may advantageously have a shape capable of preventing the passage of drops of condensates, such as water droplets, through said rim, so that these drops are confined inside the package between said flange and said bottom. This form of orifice (s) capable of preventing the passage of these drops may for example be of the elliptical (eg circular) type, with at least one diametrical partitioning, of polygonal type with at least one medial or diagonal partitioning, or of cross type, non-limiting.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit bord peut présenter deux tronçons sensiblement verticaux respectivement interne et externe qui sont reliés entre eux et qui peuvent être conçus pour se cliper de part et d'autre d'une portion d'extrémité sensiblement verticale dudit rebord, le ou chaque orifice de ventilation étant formé vers l'intérieur du tronçon interne. Avantageusement, ce tronçon interne peut être conçu pour coopérer avec un bossage que présente ladite portion d'extrémité sur sa face interne, pour assurer le clipage du couvercle sur le socle.According to another characteristic of the invention, said edge may have two substantially vertical sections respectively internal and external which are interconnected and which may be designed to clip on either side of a substantially vertical end portion of said flange, the or each ventilation port being formed towards the inside of the inner section. Advantageously, this inner portion may be designed to cooperate with a boss that has said end portion on its inner face, to ensure the clipping of the cover on the base.
D'une manière générale en référence au bord du couvercle et au rebord du socle, on notera que ce clipage pourrait être réalisé par des portions de clipage discontinues dudit bord et/ou dudit rebord, étant entendu que par « bord périphérique » et « rebord périphérique » au sens de la présente description, on entend un bord et un rebord pouvant être tant continus (i.e. d'un seul tenant sur tout le périmètre concerné) que discontinus (i.e. constitués d'éléments coopérant entre eux de la même manière, mais espacés sur le périmètre concerné).In general with reference to the edge of the lid and the edge of the base, it should be noted that this clipping could be achieved by discontinuous clipping portions of said edge and / or said flange, it being understood that by "peripheral edge" and "edge peripheral "within the meaning of the present description means an edge and a rim that can be both continuous (ie in one piece over the entire perimeter concerned) that discontinuous (ie constituted by elements cooperating with each other in the same way, but spaced on the perimeter concerned).
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit ou chaque orifice de ventilation peut être formé à travers une portion interne sensiblement horizontale dudit rebord, de manière immédiatement adjacente audit tronçon interne.According to another characteristic of the invention, said or each ventilation orifice may be formed through an internal portion substantially horizontal of said flange, immediately adjacent to said inner portion.
Avantageusement, des cales de couvercle sont formées en saillie vers l'extérieur sur une paroi latérale du couvercle au-dessus dudit tronçon interne, chaque cale étant apte à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure de ce tronçon interne de sorte à assurer le gerbage de couvercles par emboîtement de leurs parois latérales respectives.Advantageously, cover shims are formed protruding outwardly on a side wall of the lid above said inner section, each shim being adapted to receive the lower end of this inner section so as to ensure the stacking of lids by interlocking their respective side walls.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit socle peut comporter en outre une rigole périphérique entourant ledit fond via une paroi latérale interne de rigole et entourée par ledit rebord via une paroi latérale externe de rigole, cette rigole étant alors formée en dessous dudit fond et étant destinée à recueillir les condensats formés par le fromage à l'intérieur de l'emballage.According to another characteristic of the invention, said base may further comprise a peripheral channel surrounding said bottom via an internal ditch side wall and surrounded by said flange via an external side channel wall, this channel being then formed below said bottom and being intended to collect the condensates formed by the cheese inside the package.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ladite portion interne dudit rebord peut avantageusement former une rampe de guidage des gouttes de condensats vers ladite rigole.According to another characteristic of the invention, said inner portion of said rim may advantageously form a guide rail for condensate drops to said channel.
Avantageusement, des cales de socle sont formées sur ladite paroi latérale externe de rigole, ces cales s'étendant en saillie vers l'intérieur de ladite rigole pour permettre le gerbage d'une pluralité de socles.Advantageously, base blocks are formed on said outer side channel wall, these wedges projecting inwardly of said channel to allow the stacking of a plurality of bases.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit fond peut avantageusement présenter une face interne convexe, de sorte à présenter une zone centrale légèrement surélevée par rapport à une zone périphérique de ce fond.According to another characteristic of the invention, said bottom may advantageously have a convex inner surface, so as to have a central zone slightly raised relative to a peripheral zone of this bottom.
On notera que cette face interne convexe du fond du socle permet de compenser visuellement, pour le consommateur, l'affaissement progressif du fromage reposant sur ce fond.It will be noted that this convex inner face of the bottom of the base makes it possible to visually compensate the consumer for the gradual slump of the cheese resting on this bottom.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'emballage peut en outre comporter des moyens d'inviolabilité qui sont aptes à se briser lors d'une première ouverture de cet emballage et qui sont formés d'un seul tenant avec ledit bord du couvercle. Ces moyens d'inviolabilité peuvent avantageusement comporter au moins une languette sécable faisant partie intégrante dudit tronçon externe de ce bord, à l'exclusion dudit tronçon interne qui demeure intact après avoir brisé cette languette.According to another characteristic of the invention, the packaging may further comprise tamper-proof means which are capable of breaking during a first opening of this package and which are formed in one piece with said edge of the lid . These tamperproof means may advantageously comprise at least one breakable tongue forming part of integral of said outer portion of this edge, excluding said inner portion which remains intact after breaking this tab.
De préférence, le couvercle de l'emballage selon l'invention est réalisé en matière plastique déformable, le socle pouvant être réalisé en matière plastique déformable ou à base de fibres végétales, par exemple.Preferably, the lid of the package according to the invention is made of deformable plastic material, the base can be made of deformable plastic material or based on plant fibers, for example.
Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, ledit emballage renferme le fromage précité qui est de type à pâte molle et de préférence à croûte fleurie.According to another aspect of the invention, said package contains the above-mentioned cheese which is of soft type and preferably with a flowery rind.

Comme illustré aux
- un fond 6 à face interne légèrement convexe destiné à recevoir le fromage, la convexité de ce fond 6 étant notamment prévue pour compenser visuellement l'affaissement progressif du fromage reposant sur ce fond 6,
- une rigole périphérique 7 destinée à recueillir les condensats formés à l'intérieur de l'emballage 1, qui est formée autour et en contrebas du fond 6 en étant reliée à ce dernier par une paroi latérale radialement
interne 8, et qui est délimitée radialement vers l'extérieur par une paroi latérale radialement externe 9 sensiblement verticale et de hauteur nettement supérieure à celle de la paroiinterne 8, et - un rebord périphérique supérieur 10 (par exemple circulaire) sur lequel est destiné à venir se cliper le couvercle 3, 3' et qui comprend, d'une part, une
portion radialement interne 11 sensiblement horizontale à travers laquelle sont formés à intervalles réguliers sur son périmètre des orifices de ventilation 12 (voirfigures 4 et5 ) et qui s'étend sensiblement à angle droit à partir de la paroi externe 9 et à l'opposé de la rigole 7 et, d'autre part, uneportion radialement externe 13 qui s'étend sensiblement à angle droit à partir de laportion interne 11 et à l'opposé du fond 6, en présentant une extrémité libre conique 14 légèrement évasée et autour de laquelle est destiné à venir se cliper le couvercle 3, 3'.
- a bottom 6 with a slightly convex inner surface intended to receive the cheese, the convexity of this
bottom 6 being in particular provided to visually compensate for the gradual slump of the cheese resting on thisbottom 6, - a
peripheral channel 7 for collecting the condensates formed inside the package 1, which is formed around and below thebottom 6 being connected thereto by a radiallyinner side wall 8, and which is radially delimited to the outside by a radiallyouter side wall 9 substantially vertical and of a height much greater than that of theinner wall 8, and - an upper peripheral flange 10 (for example circular) on which is intended to clip the
cover 3, 3 'and which comprises, on the one hand, a radiallyinner portion 11 substantially horizontal through which are formed at regular intervals on its perimeter of the ventilation holes 12 (seefigures 4 and5 ) and which extends substantially at right angles from theouter wall 9 and away from thechannel 7 and, on the other hand, part, a radiallyouter portion 13 which extends substantially at right angles from theinner portion 11 and opposite thebottom 6, having a conicalfree end 14 slightly flared and around which is intended to clip thelid 3, 3 '.
Ainsi, le rebord 10 présente en section radiale sensiblement la forme d'un L et il est disposé à l'extrémité supérieure 90 de la paroi 9 opposée au fond 6, en s'éloignant radialement de la paroi 9.Thus, the
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, le rebord 10 du socle 2 pourvu de ces orifices 12 s'étend intégralement au-dessus du fond 6 de ce dernier, en dépit de sa convexité.According to an important feature of the invention, the
Ce couvercle 3, 3' comporte un bord périphérique 15 (dans ce cas également circulaire) qui constitue l'extrémité inférieure de la paroi latérale 4, 4' et qui comporte deux tronçons sensiblement verticaux radialement interne 16 et externe 17, qui sont respectivement conçus pour se cliper de part et d'autre de l'extrémité libre évasée 14 du socle 2, et qui sont reliés entre eux par un tronçon de liaison horizontal 18 s'étendant en saillie à partir de la paroi latérale 4. A cet effet, la face radialement interne de la portion externe 13 présente un bossage périphérique 19 au-dessus duquel est formée l'extrémité libre évasée 14 et qui coopère avec un bossage similaire 19a de la face radialement externe du tronçon interne 16 dans la position de clipage (voir
On voit à la
Par ailleurs, du fait de la forme en L de la section du rebord, la portion radialement externe 13 ne bloque pas la communication des orifices de ventilation avec l'atmosphère. Ce serait au contraire le cas si la portion 13 s'étendait vers le fond et par exemple si son extrémité libre se trouvait à proximité du fond. Dans ce cas, la paroi externe 9 et le rebord 10 présenteraient en section radiale sensiblement la forme d'un U. On comprend qu'alors, lorsque des emballages sont superposés ou simplement disposés sur un support, les orifices ne seraient pas en communication avec l'atmosphère mais seulement avec un espace confiné, délimité par la partie interne du U. La circulation de l'air ne pourrait pas alors s'effectuer librement entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur de l'emballage.Moreover, because of the L-shape of the rim section, the radially
Au contraire, avec un rebord dont la section est en L, la portion 13 s'étend à l'opposé de la paroi externe 9 par rapport à la portion 11 et laisse les orifices complètement dégagés.
