Description

Container for fruit and vegetable products with individual compartments

Object of the invention

The present container for fruit and vegetable products with individual compartments is based on a body or container of transparent material, divided into individual housings for unit pieces of fruit or similar, carrying so many housings as allowed by the size of the fruit to be carried; also incorporates a handle for easy handling providing greater hygiene and quality of the deposited article, which favors that by not contacting some pieces with others, keep better for longer.

Background of the invention

At present, the system normally used for the transport of the fruit by the final consumer, from the local of purchase until the one of consumption, consists in the selection of the fruit in the store (which is usually found piled up) and put in a bag, usually plastic, for transport in this medium to the house, being deposited in fruit bowls to the outdoors or in refrigerators, in both cases in heaps.

dor.

On the other hand, the plastic bag does not allow fruit perspiration, so in warm environments it favors the loss of the more mature pieces, transmitting to the others for mere contact between them.

In turn, certain products such as onions, potatoes, oranges and the like are sold in networks of one, two or several kilograms, which facilitates on one hand its ventilation and handling but not always the user is willing to acquire these quantities of fruit, since, with increasing frequency, it tends to the purchase of fruit and vegetable products by units. Likewise, neither is the problem of contact between the items, or the aesthetic appearance on the counter sale.

Another inconvenience that this option entails is the that once you open the mesh or net to choose a piece of your inside, this mesh is broken, so the rest of the units are left loose with the risk of bumps, rubs, etc., which It affects its maintenance in good condition.

Description of the invention

With packaging for fruit and vegetable products with individual compartments, object of the present invention are intends to improve the problem described above, for this, it part of a container body, of transparent material for facilitate content identification. Body that is compartmentalized in as many units as the size of the piece to house and the weight manageable by the final consumer, carrying in turn a handle for easy transport.

Each of these compartments is equipped with the ventilation means, so that all parts have of its aeration to prevent or delay its rot.

By being individualized the accommodation for each piece of fruit, vegetable, etc., prevents contact between same, which added to the fact of ventilation, allows greater product life in optimal consumption conditions. All of it, provides the user with a better product quality and of good hygiene, which acts as a claim of the product itself.

On the other hand, this package is likely to be divided into each of the portions or compartments in which composes, as long as it has the means to facilitate this option, so that when you want a piece of fruit or item housed, only the desired compartment is torn which detaches from the body of the container, so it can be stored, transport and handle individually without risk of shocks, friction, etc. that may affect the life of the product, so it allows individual handling without risk to the integrity of the product and increasing the guarantee of adequate consumption of same.

Therefore, with the container that is advocated in the present memory, an exhibition of the articles is obtained housed with a sense of hygiene and product quality, at the same time that your transport to the user's home or to the place of consumption is comfortably carried out by the carrying handle, without risk of friction between the fruit itself, ventilated and with the particularity that it you can detach a piece of the body with its individual container, facilitating all this, the handling and transport without risks of premature deterioration

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is accompanied herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, a series of figures in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, it has been represented the following:

Figure 1.- Represents an elevation view of a practical embodiment of the package object of the present invention in deployed position.

Figure 2.- Represents a cross section of the container in folded position.

Figure 3.- The same previous figure but with a transparent case or bag.

Figure 4.- Detail in perspective of the bag transparent applied in the previous figure.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the attached figures, distinguishes first, a body of the container (1), which It consists of a series of individual compartments (2), which house to a piece of fruit (3) or fruit and vegetable product that is going to transport; container provided with a handle (5) and cutting means or torn (6) and fold (7). These compartments are equipped with ventilation means (4).

A bag or cover (8) for transport that attaches to the container (1), and has of two holes (9) corresponding to the respective compartment compartments (2), and a handle (10) for handling and transportation In addition, this bag (8) is capable of being able to house advertising on their surfaces.

The material used in these packages (1) is transparent features, so that it is easy to Identification of the product housed inside, while allow its fold around the hinge shaft (7) and make it torn through the cuts (6), which suppose a weakening controlled of the material so that with some force you can detach, if desired, each of the compartments of individual way

The ventilation will preferably be carried out by means of holes (4) located in each of these compartments, so that they allow the entry and exit of the air to avoid a stagnation of the same inside the housing (2), which facilitate a proliferation of bacteria and microorganisms that they would deteriorate the product (3).
