Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a device for transport of ice cream cones in vertical position.
  • Said device comprises a container wherein one or more cones filled with ice cream can be allocated entirely and maintained in vertical position, and one or more removable support, lying on a transverse partition of the container; said supports having at least one hole each, preferably positioned centrically compared to said supports, and at least two folding lateral wings, preferably opposed, to handle ice cream cones and to facilitate inclusion inside the container and the removal from the same.
  • Each hole of the supports is preferably marked by folding flaps, such that the inclination of said folding flaps defines a variable dimension hole, indicated to maintain ice cream cones of different sizes.
  • said container also includes: one horizontal base and one lower transverse partition, parallel to said base and to said upper transverse partition, said transverse partition being disposed at different high, with reference to said base, and including one or more holes, wherein it is possible to allocate one or more ice cream cones in vertical position.
  • Said container and said supports can be made of any appropriate food packaging material, such as for example, paper, cardboard or plastic materials (e.g. polystyrene).
  • said container and said supports are made of recycling material, more preferably made of paper or cardboard.
  • the present invention is also directed to use of the above mentioned device for conic or trunk-conical shape food transport and to an efficient method for transport ice cream-filled cones, as following described.
  • each Italian consumes on average 15 kilos of ice-cream per year: the total turnover is of around 5 billion Euro, 60% of which relates to artisan ice-cream.
  • take-away artisan ice-cream is preferably supplied in foam cups or bowls.
  • US 1,338,192 discloses a foldable device for ice-cream transport, made preferably of cardboard, consisting of a central unit with a handle and two supports, on opposite sides of central unit, with one or more holes to allocate ice-cream cones, so that they are essentially hanging transported, sustaining the device by the handle. Said device cannot be put down not even temporarily once filled with one or more ice-cream cones.
  • US 1,140,540 discloses a foldable device to transport ice-cream cones, made preferably of cardboard. Before being assembled, said device includes a central portion having several opening and four lateral portions, substantially arranged in cross shape.
  • US 1,628,718 discloses a foldable container, for ice-cream cones transport, having a base and without any coverage. Ice-cream cones are entirely placed inside the container, held in place by an horizontal partition near the base of the container, having one or more holes made to receive cones tails. Said container clearly has a low stability, as the minimal device inclination should make the cones easily fall out as they are held on a level near the tails.
  • US 1,674,209 discloses a rigid container for ice-cream transport. Cones are transported being entirely placed inside the container, inserted through an horizontal partition that held them hanging in place. The partition is here positioned on the upper part of the box, so that the cone, inserted from the top, is held through said partition to a cone level next to ice-cream. Although the device looks better compared to US 1,628,718 device, a single partition makes in any case the transport not very firm. Furthermore, the ice-cream cone, held in place in a higher portion results more difficult to extract without touching the ice-cream.
  • the present invention supplies a device for the transport of ice-cream-filled cones, closed or partially closed, allowing the protection of the ice-cream cone from possible dust or soil and facilitating the thermal isolation, wherein the ice-cream cone is firm during transport and easy to extract from the container once arrived to the target place, avoiding any possible cone breaking.
  • the device of the present invention can also be produced at low costs.
  • the device of the invention for transport of ice-cream cones in vertical position, includes a container, wherein one or more ice-cream cones can be entirely allocated and maintained in vertical position, and one or more supports, having each one at least one hole, preferably a central one, and at least two lateral foldable wings preferably opposed; said supports lying on a transverse partition of said container.
  • said container also includes: an horizontal base, more preferably rectangular, and one lower transverse partition positioned alongside to said horizontal base and to said upper transverse partition, and including one or more holes for allocation of one or more ice-cream cones in vertical position.
  • each of the one or more holes of the upper partition is vertically aligned with one of the one or more lower partition holes, being said holes of the lower partition concentric with reference to said upper partition holes; in this way, the ice-cream cone which has to be transported vertically allocated inside the container, crosses one upper partition hole and one lower partition hole concentric to first one.
  • lower partition holes have a diameters which is less than the diameter of the upper partition holes.
  • the height of said partitions compared to the base is such that, when an ice-cream cone is allocated into the container, a lower portion of ice-cream cone, preferably close the tip, cross the lower partition hole, while a upper portion of cone, preferably close to ice-cream, gets through the upper partition hole.
  • supports device central hole is bounded by folding tabs, positioned radially around the circumference of the hole.
  • said tabs fold downwards when the ice-cream cone is positioned into the hole, adapting to the diameter of the inserted cone, supporting the cone and holding it. Then, the presence of said tabs around the hole circumference of the support allows to allocate and hold in vertical position ice-cream cones of different sizes.
  • Said supports are preferably inserted into the container and leaned against upper partition, so that support hole would be concentric compared to holes aligned along both upper and lower partition.
  • Said supports make ice-cream allocation easy, supported by them, inside the container, as well as the removal of ice-cream cone itself. Indeed, it is possible to remove the ice-cream cone without touching it, simply raising the support in which it is allocated, through foldable lateral wings. In this way, it is avoided to touch the ice-cream cone, as well as to break the cone incidentally during either insertion into or removal from the container.
  • the device of present invention is suitable to contain refrigerant material, in order to lower the temperature inside the container and to avoid the quick melt of the ice-cream.
  • said device is suitable to contain dry ice.
  • Said dry ice can be, for example, in the form of pellets, or a piece pierced in its centre: in the last case, the piece of dry ice can be lied upon the support, or inserted between the upper partition and the support, making the ice-cream match the cone allocation holes, in order to place it all around the ice-cream cone inserted into the container.
  • refrigerant materials suitable to be used inside the device of the present invention or in conjunction with it, are spray ice and ice packs (gel pack).
  • the container of present invention includes at least two vertical opposed walls, extending upward starting from two sides of the horizontal base. More preferably, said container includes four vertical walls, opposing two by two, such as to close the whole container perimeter. Optionally two or more vertical walls of the assembled container can be recurve, as shown in Fig. 12 .
