Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaged food product. More specifically, the present invention relates to a packaged food product containing stackable chip snacks such as molded chip snacks.
  • Chip snacks such as potato chips are normally filled in a flexible bag or in a tubular container.
  • a flexible bag may be used for naturally cut potato chips.
  • the flexible bag may protect such naturally cut potato chips from external shock by filling the bag with gas.
  • Such a flexible bag requires space to transport and display because of the extra space taken up by the gas.
  • a tubular container may be used for molded potato chips. The tubular container may be useful for cramming the molded potato chips which have substantially the same shape by stacking them.
  • chip snacks in a tubular container may crack or break during shipping, stacking, storage, etc.
  • the chip snacks are sometimes fragile that consumers find some cracked or broken chips when they open the container. Therefore, there is a need to protect chip snacks from cracking due to external shocks.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a packaged product of chip snacks with less breakage even when they receive a strong shock in the shop shelves, during transportation, etc.
  • the present invention may also significantly reduce messiness when consumers eat such chip snacks.
  • the present invention relates to a packaged food product has (i) a tray, (ii) a plurality of stackable chip snacks aligned on the tray main body, and (iii) a tubular container.
  • the tray contains (1 ) a tray main body comprising a proximal tray end and a distal tray end, and (2) a cushioning space at the distal tray end.
  • the tubular container contains a wall body, a closed container end adjacent to the wall body, an openable container end adjacent to the wall body and opposed to the closed container end, the tubular container comprising the plurality of stackable chip snacks and the tray therein.
  • the tray is aligned so that the cushioning space is oriented adjacent to the closed container end.
  • One of the benefits of the present invention is to further protect stackable molded chip snacks from external shocks such as dropping, bumping, and other shocks derived from storage, transportation, etc. because the cushioning space reduces the transmission of force to the snacks and thereby reduces breakage.
  • the tray serves to protect the stackable molded chip snacks from cracks resulting from the transmission of an external shock to the snacks. As less force is transmitted to the snacks with the tray of the present invention, fewer snacks are broken during shipment, storage, etc.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a packaged food product having a tray therein, and a plurality of chip snacks on the tray, the tray being manually slid from the tubular container;
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a top plan view of the tray depicted in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a partial top view of a conventional tray
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a side plan view of the tray of FIG. 2, viewed from the second side
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a side plan view of the tray of FIG. 2, viewed from the sliding tab
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a cardboard box containing the packaged product of the present invention
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a case face diagram showing contact position in the drop test.
  • molded chip snacks can include an edible snack product that has been shaped, extruded or roll-milled in such a way as to provide a chip-shape.
  • stackable can include a state where an object substantially has a planar shape and a plurality of such objects can be heaped one another in a line, vertically, horizontally or whatever else. Molded chip snacks are substantially uniform in size and shape. They can be stacked and packaged in rigid tubular containers.
  • “tray” can include an object on which stackable chip snacks are put and stored.
  • sliding can include a state where an object is linearly movable in a certain orientation.
  • the present invention relates to a packaged food product containing (i) a tray, (ii) a plurality of stackable molded chip snacks and (iii) a tubular container.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a packaged product according to the present invention.
  • the packaged food product, 20, contains (1) a tray, 12, (2) a plurality of stackable molded chip snacks, 14, and (3) a tubular container, 16.
  • the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, are aligned on the tray, 12.
  • the tray, 12, containing the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, is initially inserted into the tubular container, 16.
  • the tray, 12, is manually slid from the tubular container, 16, for consumption of the stackable molded chip snacks, 14.
  • the tray, 12, has a tray main body, 18, and a proximal tray end, 22, and a distal tray end,
  • the tray, 12, further has a first side wall,
  • the tray main body, 18, contains an integrated pulling tab, 28, at the proximal tray end, 22.
  • the pulling tab, 28, contains a pinching member, 31 , which has a concave-convex surface.
  • the pinching member, 31 protrudes upward from the proximal tray end, 22, so that a thumb and a finger can pinch the pinching member, 31 , easily.
  • the pinching member may protrude downward from the proximal tray end.
  • the tray, 12, has an open top, 30, so that a user can easily remove the stackable chip snacks, 14.
  • the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, may be based on potato, rice, flour, corn, etc., or based on potato or rice.
  • the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, may have a wavy shape, a concave shape or a planar shape, especially a concave shape.
  • the tubular container, 16, has a closed end, 32, and an openable end, 34, opposed to the closed end, 32.
  • a lid, 35 is typically present to allow easy opening and reclosing of the openable end, 34.
  • the openable end, 34 may be sealed with the lid, 35.
  • the tubular container, 16, further has a side wall, 36, connecting the closed end, 32, and the openable end, 34.
  • the tray, 12, is inserted into the tubular container, 16, so that the pulling tab, 28, is oriented toward the openable end, 34, of the tubular container, 16. This makes removal of the tray, 12, easier and less messy.
  • the tubular container, 16 When in use, the tubular container, 16, is opened by removing the lid, 35. After withdrawing by pulling the pulling tab, 28, the plurality of stackable molded chip snacks, 14, emerges from inside the tubular container, 16. Then the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, are easily removed without reaching for deep inside the tubular container, 16.
  • the inner surface of the tubular container may be soiled by the stackable molded chip snacks; i.e., as oil, cracked chips and/or flavors adhering thereto.
  • the stackable molded chip snacks In order to remove the stackable molded chip snacks from the tubular container, consumers may need to put their hand into the tubular container or need to tilt the tubular container and drop the stackable molded chip snacks onto a hand, a dish, or other surface. Such actions can be sometimes messy because the fingers and hand may be soiled, or a separate vessel such as a dish may be needed to receive the chip snacks.
  • the packaged food product of the present invention consumers can retrieve chip snacks with less messiness because their hands may not be soiled and a separate vessel is not necessarily needed.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the tray depicted in FIG. 1.
  • The, pinching member, 31 may have a width, W, and a length, L.
  • the width, W, and the length, L are typically from about 5 mm to about 40 mm, from about 8 mm to about 35 mm or from about 10 mm to about 30 mm.
  • the shape of the pinching member, 31 is not limited particularly. In some embodiments, the pinching member, 31 , may have a shape of a circle, an oval, a square, a polygon, etc. In one embodiment, the pinching member, 31 , has a logo of an old man's face commonly known as Mr. Pringles. In one embodiment, the pinching member, 31 , has a logo of a product name (e.g., logo of Pringles).
  • the pulling tab, 28, may be a fixed structure or a bendable structure. In this embodiment, the pulling tab, 28, is a fixed structure. In another embodiment, the pulling tab may be bendable to allow greater flexibility during use from a variety of different angles.
  • the stackable molded chip snacks located at a tray end may be inclined to receive more external shock than located in the middle, and therefore they are easy to be cracked.
  • Some of stackable molded chip snacks such as molded potato chips are formed wavy or concave.
  • the tray, 12, is provided with a cushioning space, 25, between the distal tray end, 23, and the stackable molded chip snacks, 14,
  • the cushioning space, 25, has a curvature so that the edge of the stackable molded chip snacks may not directly contact the tray, 14.
  • the tray, 14, has a shoulder part, 27, outside the cushioning space, 25.
  • the shoulder part, 27, contacts the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, but it is important to note that the distal tray end, 23, does not directly touch the stackable molded chip snacks, 14.
  • This cushioning space, 25, therefore allows the distal tray end, 23, to deform due to impact without directly transmitting this impact force to the stackable molded chip snacks, 14. Instead, the distal tray end, 23, deforms to absorb and reduce the impact force. Then, a reduced impact may be transferred at the multiple shoulder parts, 27, instead of at a single point.
  • the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, inside the tray, 12, are less likely cracked or broken by external shocks because of the deformability of the tray, 14, and the presence of the cushioning space, 25.
  • the cushioning space, 25, takes up the distance between the tray, 12, at the distal tray end, 23, and the closest stackable molded chip snack, 14. Therefore, the deformation distance, D, between the distal tray end, 23, and the closest stackable molded chip snack, 14, should be from about 2 mm to about 15 mm, or from about 3 mm to about 12 mm, or from about 5 mm to about 10 mm, so as to allow sufficient space for deformation before the tray would touch the closest stackable molded chip snack, 14.
  • the tray also has a cushioning space at the proximal tray end, 22, as well as at the distal tray end, 23.
  • a cushioning space at the proximal tray end, 22, as well as at the distal tray end, 23.
  • the distal tray end requires a force of from about 0.5 kg to about 1 kg in a dynamic impact test in order to deform the tray 1 mm.
  • Equipment useful for testing such a deformation includes Instron tension testers, from Instron Industrial Products, Norwood, MA, USA.
  • the tray, 12, may be made of any kind of material such as plastic, a biodegradable material, metal, rubber, and a mixture thereof.
  • Suitable plastics may include, but are not limited to, polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamides, polyesters, polyvinylchloride derivatives, co-polymers thereof, and mixtures thereof.
  • Suitable biodegradable material may include, but are not limited to, corn starch, rice starch, flour starch, potato starch, cellulose, polylactide, polycaprolactone, polyvinylalcohol, casein, and a mixture thereof. Biodegradable materials are more preferable, and especially corn starch.
  • the tray comprises corn starch.
  • the distal tray end, 23 is deformable, and therefore helps to absorb impacts which would otherwise be transmitted to the stackable molded snacks.
  • Fig. 3 is a partial top view of a conventional tray, 1 12, where the distal tray end, 123, is formed flat, as compared to the present invention which is curved.
  • the distal tray end, 123 is pressed or subjected to any pressure or impact the pressure gets transmitted directly to the stackable molded chip snacks, 1 14, which in turn greatly increases their chances of breaking the stackable molded chip snacks.
  • FIG. 4 is a side plan view of the tray of FIG. 2, viewed from the second side, 26.
  • the tray, 12, may have a height greater than that of the chip snacks, 14, contained inside the tray, 12.
  • the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, can be more protected from external shocks.
  • the tray, 12, contains a plurality of bumps, 42.
  • the bumps, 42 may protrude outward from inside the tray main body, 18, or inward from outside the tray main body, 18, resulting in a plurality of convex and/or concave shapes.
  • the bumps, 42 protrude outward from inside the tray main body, 18.
  • the plurality of bumps, 42 can strengthen the rigidity of the tray. That is, the bumps can achieve sufficient rigidity even using a thin material for the tray, leading to a lighter weight tray.
  • strengthened tray can also protect the stackable molded chip snacks from an external shock. It can prevent or at least reduce cracked stackable molded chip snacks.
  • the shape of the bump may not be limited particularly, and examples include, a circle, an oval, an ellipse, a square, a triangle, etc.
  • the bumps, 42 may be distributed to the entire tray main body, 18, including the first side wall, 24, and the second side wall, 26, and the bottom, 38.
  • the broad distribution of the bumps, 42 may protect the stackable molded chip snacks from cracking.
  • the tray, 12, contains a bottom, 38 in the tray main body, 18.
  • the tray, 12, is typically provided with at least a pair of supporting members, 36, protruding outward from the bottom, 38, of the tray main body, 18.
  • the pair of the supporting members, 36 may provide stability with the tray, 12, when it is placed in a tubular container (see FIG. 1 ) or on a plane (see FIG. 4).
  • the supporting member, 36 may protect the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, from an external shock when the packaged product, 20, is dropped from a certain height, or is pressed by an external force.
  • the tray, 12, contains three pairs of supporting member, 36, substantially located parallel to each other.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the tray of FIG. 3, as seen along line 4-4.
  • the shape of the bottom, 38 may be substantially planar or rounded. In this embodiment, the bottom, 38, is rounded. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the round shape of the bottom, 38, can complement the shape of the stackable molded chip snacks, 14, contained in the tray, 12. As these shapes complement each other, and as only the supporting members, 36, and an edge shelf, 43, touch the tubular canister, the cracks of the stackable molded chip snacks reduce. An edge shelf, 43, may also further help to reduce the transmission of force to the stackable molded chip snacks, by further deforming instead of transferring impacts and force.
