Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the food processing field, in particular the sale of food such as typically, pre-cooked vegetables and legumes.
  • the food at issue is provided in the fresh food counter, packaged into trays of transparent plastic material, typically PET.
  • the trays are generally provided with an articulated cover, which closes simply snap-wise (or at most with the aid of a few welding points) on the top edge of the tray.
  • the above edge forms an external rib onto which a groove is engaged which is correspondingly obtained in the cover.
  • this type of closure is inadequate due to the lack of a hermetic seal, which causes lack of hygiene, possibility of tampering with the contents, and liquid leaks in the case of wet food (that is, in most cases).
  • the present invention solves this problem providing a new package configuration of the type mentioned above, which jointly meets, with unprecedented effectiveness, all the safety, hygiene and aesthetic requirements currently not met by known packages.
  • a package for food in general comprising a tray of plastic material with a top opening delimited by an edge along which an external rib projecting upwards extends, and a cover of the same material articulated along a portion of said edge and suitable for closing on said opening for shutting it completely, said cover comprising engagement means with said rib of said tray, the package being characterised in that said engagement means of said cover comprise an external step delimiting a central concavity on the inner face of the cover and suitable for engaging with the outer profile of said rib of said tray, the package further providing a sealing film welded on said rib so as to shut said opening completely.
  • the package according to the invention comprises in a traditional manner a tray with substantially quadrilateral top plan profile, globally indicated with reference numeral 1, consisting of a bottom 2 and of four slightly oblique sides 3. Sides 3 terminate above with an edge folded outwards to form a lip 4, developing around an opening 5a which allows access to the inside space of the tray, indicated with reference numeral 5.
  • Tray 1 made by the usual moulding techniques of a semi-rigid food-grade plastic material, for example transparent PET, may equally conventionally exhibit non-slip ribs or streaks 12 on sides 3 and on bottom 2 to facilitate handling.
  • Lip 4 defines, by folding as well, a rib 6 projecting upwards, in turn developing externally around opening 5a, and rather defining the lying plane of the opening itself with the top portion.
  • a cover 7, suitable for closing on tray 1 to shut opening 5a completely, is foldingly articulated to lip 4, along one of sides 3.
  • cover 7, generally flat and of the same material as tray 1, has the same top plan profile of the tray and is clearly attached thereto along the articulation fold, indicated with reference numeral 7a.
  • cover 7 defines, again by folding and in the proximity of the external edge, a step 8 that on the inside face 7b (that is, that intended for facing the inside of the package in closed position) delimits a central concavity 9.
  • Step 8 in the practice is positioned and sized so as to engage with the outside profile of rib 6 of tray 1 in the closed position, a position in which the external edge of the cover beyond step 8, shaped as a lip 10, abuts on - and overlaps - the corresponding edge 4a of lip 4 of the tray.
  • concavity 9 on the inside face 7b of cover 7 houses the rib 6, whose height (that is, the extent of its projection upward from the plane of lip 4) corresponds to the depth of the concavity.
  • cover 7 when closed onto the tray 1, cover 7 does not interfere with the lying plane of opening 5a, allowing the arrangement of a sealing film 11, partly shown in the figures, welded by the prior art techniques on the top portion of rib 6 so as to fully shut the opening itself.
  • the food inside the tray is thus protected by the sealing film 11, which prevents any tampering or leak of the material, as well as by the semi-rigid cover 7 which stops in closed position thanks to a sizing with slight interference, or to a complementary shaping between rib 6 and step 8, so as to form a steady coupling, substantially of the snap-wise type.
  • An adhesive coupon may optionally be used, optionally to be used for affixing information and/or instructions about the product and the origin thereof.
  • cover 7 provides an essential completion to the package safety, besides the aesthetics thereof, protecting the film integrity from accidental or intentional actions that could cause its piercing.
  • the package according to the invention may advantageously be used for any gastronomy product (for example olives or other products in oil, salami and cold pork meats, cheese, etc.), sauces, delicatessen products, fruits and vegetables of any kind.
  • top plan profile of the tray and consequently, of the cover may vary with respect to the example shown.
  • the materials may be varied as well, within the solutions already in use for this type of packages.
