  • EP 2 316 308 and EP0729312 disclose devices for the batch cooking of portioned foods, in particular food pieces such as pasta, rice, pieces of meat or fish. After the cooking process, the cooked products are dispensed onto or into a container, such as a plate, a bowl or a cup, the container being provided either by the machine or by the user or at least placed under the dispensing opening of the device.
  • a finished dish usually prepared in addition to such a cooking machine in pouches, ready-made juices are provided, which can be given over the hot food pieces.
  • the sauce By mixing with the hot food pieces, the sauce is heated and the user receives a ready, hot meal, which is intended for immediate consumption.
  • Type of heated food pieces may be the Sössen to simple tomato, cream or vegetable sauces or even to meat or fish sauces.
  • bags with juices are also conceivable which already contain cooked rice, boiled potato pieces, etc.
  • Such bags are generally similar to the well-known, small portion bags for mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup or as cooking bag, in which Sössen in general can be heated in a water bath and as described for example in EP 2,671,719.
  • Such bags are usually perforated in a partial area. The perforation is designed in a way that on the one hand to prevent the escape of material from the bag interior to the outside and on the other hand should still allow opening the bag along the perforation. The latter is often difficult and usually requires two hands. Since the juices and sometimes the container for the output of the cooked food pieces are made available separately, one speaks in these automatic cooking machines of semi-automatic machines.
  • Food preparation can be eaten, in part, by the user to provide or put under the dispensing opening and, secondly, that the user to the sauce cooked on his
  • the container To give pieces of food, the container must turn off so that he has both hands free to open the bag with the sauce can. When opening the Soss bag There is also always a certain risk of getting hands or even clothes soiled with a swelling or spewing sauce. After emptying the bag, the user must also look for a waste container to dispose of the bag. These aspects may discourage many potential users from making use, for example, of the food offerings of such semiautomatic machines in their day-to-day work. It would therefore be much better if such hot foods or food preparations, which comprise freshly cooked food in the machine and at least one added to the cooked food pieces, could be provided by a fully automatic; a fully automatic machine as it is known, for example, for the issue of hot drinks.
  • Such hot drink or coffee machines in addition to the coffee powder and the hot water for brewing the coffee and the cup from which the coffee can be drunk, and on request, milk and / or sugar available.
  • the cups used in such machines are usually designed in such a way that they are well stackable within such a fully automatic machine.
  • they also have an insulation, so that the hot drink in the cup remains warm and the user is also protected when gripping the cup from the unpleasant heat of the cup contents.
  • Such insulation can be in a variety of forms, for example in the form of a carton sleeve attached to the cup or in the form of a styrofoam cup or in the form of corrugation of the cup or its outside.
  • Cup-like containers which can be stacked well and have insulation are also described, for example, in EP 2 371 723 B1. They have an outer sheath and a cup surrounded by the outer sheath. In a protruding from the cup bottom cup wall deformations are formed in the form of protruding into the interior of the cup projections or shoulders, which serve in stacking a plurality of cups for holding a similar, surrounded by an outer shell cup. However, the deformations formed in the cup can also serve to hold a membrane or a lid or the like.
  • the cup is formed of paper and has to stabilize the deformation in the same area on the outside of the cup applied adhesive trace or a stabilizing plastic ring.
  • the insulating outer sheath is provided, which is either only plugged or optionally firmly connected to the cup. Also optionally, an air gap between the cup and insulating outer shell to improve the insulating effect of the outer shell is provided, the cup may also be provided with a radially outward deformation in order to ensure a defined distance between the cup and outer shell.
  • the cups described in EP 2 371 723 B1 thus use the same effect as thermoses and similar double-walled holding vessels (see also EP 2 641 840), which however, as a rule, made of glass or metal, in contrast to the paper cups described in this document and in addition to the double-walled, air- or gas-filled side walls also have a double-walled, air- or gas-filled floor.
  • Cups with outer shells, as described in EP 2 371 723 B1 protect the user from the heat of the hot content, and are therefore well suited for hot liquids.
  • Food preparations can be provided in a fully automatic cooking machine. It is understood, however, that instead of a portioned cooked, so hot food and the delivery of a very cold food, such as ice cream with a chocolate, vanilla, or fruit sauce, especially with a hot fruit sauce, by means of such a fully automatic would be conceivable.
  • the present invention therefore includes a vascular system for storing an ingredient and for dispensing that ingredient along with other foods in a heated or refrigerated state to a user, with the user screened from the temperature of the vascular system contents.
  • the vessel system comprises an inner vessel with a fillable interior. Furthermore, it comprises an outer jacket, which is designed to receive the inner vessel, in such a way that the outer jacket thermally insulates the contents of the inner vessel from the outside. Outer jacket and storage vessel taper downwards, ie towards the bottom of the inner vessel.
  • a particular feature of this vessel system is that the fillable interior of the inner vessel can be closed in a sealing manner with a cover film in such a way that the inner vessel forms a tightly closable storage vessel for storing the ingredient and, on the other hand, a plurality of storage vessels can be stacked by stacking one another.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the ingredient in this storage container is hermetically sealed storable and space-saving stackable. This is a great advantage for keeping the ingredient, for example in the form of a ready-made sauce, in a machine that saves space for at least several days.
  • the outer shell is a separate element from the storage vessel.
  • the outer sheath has at least one radially inwardly projecting clamping element, with which the storage vessel is fixable in selbigem when it is received in the outer shell.
  • the outer sheath is designed to taper downwards so that several outer shells are stacked one inside the other.
  • the outer sheath is advantageously configured such that a plurality of outer shells are stacked inserted into one another, without being clamped by at least one clamping element of the respective receiving outer sheath. To this way, it is guaranteed that several outer shells can be stacked in a space-saving manner and also be easily sorted again. This is very advantageous for keeping the outer shells in stock in a vending machine.
  • the storage vessels and the outer coats separated from each other, for example, to keep in stock in a vending machine and bring them together for output to the user to a dispensing container.
  • This has the advantage that various ingredients in the machine can be kept in stock and regardless of the selected ingredient of the output container, which is formed from the vascular system, yet always thermally insulated, so that the user is protected from the temperature of the container contents and the container contents maintains its temperature for a long time.
  • the storage of the described vascular system takes up less space.
  • the storage vessel itself has no deformations which would retain the contents, but is nevertheless fixed in the same by the at least one clamping element of the outer shell, which is particularly advantageous for the use as described below.
  • the at least one clamping element matched to the height hg of the vessel shell of the storage vessel in such a manner from the inside of the outer jacket to the inside, that it is the storage vessel in the upper third of its vessel shell when receiving the storage vessel in the outer coats clamped attacks and fixed, so there is a particularly stable embedding of the storage vessel in the outer shell.
  • the clamping element can be configured and arranged such that after receiving the storage vessel in the outer shell above the storage vessel, an upper vessel skirt edge of the storage vessel projects radially inwards, more precisely if it projects radially at least into an axial projection of the vessel jacket edge or its front side protrudes, and in particular when it cooperates with the vessel skirt edge (32) in the form of a snap mechanism.

  • the lidding foil of the storage vessel is advantageously made of the same material as the vessel, namely, for example, made of aluminum or even preferably of a biodegradable material. It goes without saying that for the storage vessel and preferably also for the outer shell only materials are used, which are approved for food.
  • the outer sheath for receiving the storage vessel has an inner width which is slightly larger than the outer width of the storage vessel.
  • the storage vessel is dimensioned so that it is filled in the filled state, to its upper edge with the ingredient.
  • the storage vessel can be made smaller, in particular, for example, the height hg of the vessel shell and / or the diameter can be made smaller. This saves space when storing the ingredients, comparing this with the variant in which the vessel jacket far exceeds the level of the ingredient. In the latter case, however, the excess space could be used to mix ingredients and foods.
  • the outer jacket projects beyond the vessel jacket of the storage vessel upwards beyond its height hg. This is particularly advantageous when the storage vessel is sized small for the purpose of low storage space and filled to its upper edge with an ingredient, because the space which is enclosed by the projecting beyond the vessel skirt edge part of the outer shell is then used as a mixing space for mixing the ingredient Usable with another provided by the machine food.

It is also conceivable that the clamping lugs are distributed axially and in the circumferential direction over the entire inner outer shell wall. If the clamping lugs are distributed over the circumference and axially, the result is a stable distance between the outer sheath and the storage vessel and, independently of the rigidity of the material of the outer sheath, a defined air gap between the outer sheath and the storage vessel.

  • outer shell is provided with a bottom and thus forms an outer container, which surrounds the storage vessel on the bottom side and around the Gefässmantel outside. In this way, an even better thermal insulation of the contents is ensured against the outside.
  • the air gap is kept as small as possible both laterally between the storage vessel shell and outer shell and between the vessel bottom and bottom of the outer shell, so that the required storage space is minimized.
  • the storage container must be pressed against a certain air resistance in the outer casing / outer container until it is fixed by the sealing lip and the forming air gap is tightly closed. If you want the storage vessel then out of the Remove the outer container, the resistance of a build-up negative pressure is overcome. By this effect, the storage vessel is particularly safe and stable fixed in the outer shell or outer container in this embodiment.
