Description

Cork container for preservation and presentation of food products.

The present invention relates to the realization of cork containers for preservation and presentation of food products in different shapes and sizes.

Cork is a noble, natural and ecological, so the promotion of its use is in tune with the sustainable development goals intended by the actual society. In addition to being a natural product, cork has other properties such as malleability, flexibility, little density, thermal, acoustic, water and light insulation, very durable, and properly handled brings significant value aesthetic, which makes it an ideal material as a container for preservation and presentation of wines, sausages, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, legumes, bread, etc., being able to achieve with it a energy saving in the conservation of these foods, limiting So the use of refrigeration.

Currently most of the packaging existing in the market are plastic, ceramic, glass, etc., being according to synthetic cases, little insulating, easily breakable, heavy, etc. Cork containers exceed all these positively requirements

Cork containers for preservation and presentation of food products can be diverse shapes (square, rectangular, oval, circular, etc.) as well as of various sizes; so much to put on the floor, in furniture as to hang, well attached to the wall or ceiling, and in each case may consist of the appropriate hooks, floor supports, etc. They may also consist of a cover, which can either be loose or  attached to the main body of the container. On the other hand and depending of use, they can carry one or two handles, and can be made of metal, wood, rope or a hole in the sides to insert hand. Depending on the use they are intended for, they may lead also some inner container, which can be made of glass, ceramic, metal, etc.

These packages can be made in any type of cork, starting the manufacturing process from plates of different thicknesses (0.3 cm.-5 cm.) and of different dimensions, depending on the size and model of container. These plates will be joined together by gluing, nailed with metal nails or of wood or both at the same time. For curved face containers (circular, oval ...) the side plate should be folded to join it to the base (nailed or glued) and give it the appropriate shape. They may be composed of several types of cork (rustic, fine, born, etc.) combined with each other.

To better understand the purpose of this invention, two sheets of drawings are attached hereto, to title of illustrative and non-limiting examples of individual cases of practical realization of cork containers for preservation and presentation of food products, according to the principles of claims.

Thus in the drawings of example 1:

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a cork container for ice preservation, according to The principles of the invention.

Figure 2 constitutes a longitudinal section through the axis of said container.

In the drawings of example 2:

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a cork container for presentation of wine bottles, in accordance with the principles of the invention.

Figure 2 represents a section through the center of the aforementioned container.

The present invention is further illustrated. through the following examples, which do not pretend to be limiting its scope.

Example 1 Ice preservation container

It starts from two circular cork sheets of a centimeter thick approximately that will form a base bottom and top of the container and a third plate rectangular that will shape the side. Said side bends on the two circular pieces, so that properly glued These pieces get a completely closed cylinder. This cylinder can be lined with cork pieces of different types that give a concrete finish to the container.

Next a hole is made in which it will be the upper part so that a container can be introduced metallic (3) to which two drills have previously been performed per which are now introduced two screws (6) that are going to fix said container to the cork container and will also serve as support for two small wooden side knobs (1) and optionally of a semicircular central handle (2).

Finally, to make the cover (4), part of the cork piece previously removed from the cylinder, to which It is given the same finish as the main body. On this cover a central knob (5) is placed, which can be screwed or glued

Example 2 Wine bottle presentation container

It starts from a cork iron approximately 1.5 cm thick, which will make the base (1), on the that are placed, by gluing, nailing or both systems, other two plates that will be the sides (2). About these two pieces the two pieces that are joined together are glued or nailed they form the fronts (3).

On the top of the fronts, approximately 3 cm. from the edge and centered, two are inserted screws (9) used to fix a semicircular handle (7) and two wooden knobs (6) that finish off the grip system of the container.

Finally, with an iron of similar thickness, make the cover (4) of the appropriate size to fit it internally in the main body of the container, which is finished off with a central wooden knob (5), which can be attached or screwed

Claims (3)

1. Cork container for preservation and presentation of food products characterized in that it is composed of a cork plate that acts as a base and can be of various geometric shapes, and by one or several side plates that make up the body of the container, which join by gluing or nailing, either with metal or wood nails. 2. Cork container according to the preceding claim characterized by the possibility of carrying a lid (either attached to the main body, well independent), handle or handles (made of wood, rope ...), inner container (glass, metal ... ), as well as hooks and / or support points to fix to wall and ceiling or place on the floor. 3. Cork container according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that it can be made in any type of cork and combined with each other in any of the shapes and sizes indicated above in the description.
