Description

Cover element for a tray cake shop.

The present invention relates to an element of cover and transport of trays, especially cardboard trays of the type used in pastry.

It is widely known that, in pastry, the sweets and pastries are traditionally placed in trays of different measurements made in cardboard, substantially rectangular and flat, with slightly perimeter edges inclined and with rounded corners.

The tray, once full of candy, is finished with cardboard strips to protect the pieces and later It is wrapped with wrapping paper and tied with a small headband.

This form of conditioning presents, not However, some notable inconveniences.

First, it is undoubtedly expensive in terms of the time necessary for its realization. It also requires an important space on the counter to spread a sheet of paper of suitable dimensions to wrap the tray.

Even if protective strips are used cardboard, it often happens that the wrapping paper establishes contact with sweets, which represents the risk, In addition to hygienic deficiencies, the deterioration of the appearance and shape of the pieces.

On the other hand some types of packaging for sweets that are intended to replace the traditional conditioning. It is true and authentic Bottom boxes and a lid. Basically, the traditional tray of pastry is replaced by the bottom of the lid and then the packing is finished with the lid that is fixed, according to different methods, in the background.

This type of conditioning partly resolves some of the problems indicated above, particularly those related to practicality and speed of completion of conditioning.

However, it is obvious that it is a alternative that replaces the traditional tray whose forms, such as indicated, they have now become a symbol of pastry identification.

On the other hand, it is clear that the abandonment of the traditional tray also implies that the internal part of the fund of the box should receive treatment in order to be able to contain food products that could establish contact with the cardboard.

In summary, the mentioned boxes can be considered possible and comfortable alternatives to the tray and its traditional conditioning. However, they cannot be considered a valid alternative to complete conditioning, no can be used to complete the conditioning of a Traditional tray full of sweets and / or pastries.

The aim of the present invention is, therefore therefore, to publicize an innovative solution to the problems of packing a traditional type tray substantially rectangular, open according to the known technique, disclosing a coating element as defined in claim 1

Referring first to the figure 1, this shows the flat development (1) for the realization of a pastry tray cover according to this invention.

The flat development (1) comprises a panel central (2) elongated octagonal shape. The opposite sides of the central panel (2) are preferably parallel to each other and the development is shaped so that it has two parallel sides of greater length with respect to the opposite pair of parallel sides, and the sides corresponding to the significantly shorter angles, granting thus to the central panel an elongated octagonal shape.

Moreover, flat development (1) It comprises two side panels (3) attached to the central panel (2) of corresponding way to two opposite sides. Advantageously, in correspondence with these unions fold lines are planned (4).

Other end panels (5) are attached to the panel central (2) corresponding to two other opposite sides by folding lines (6).

Each of the end panels (5) can advantageously providing a break zone (7) defined in the inside the end panel (5) using the corresponding lines easy breakage (8).

The flat development (1) also includes four angular closure zones (10). These angular closure zones (10) they can be joined, by folding lines (11), to two or more of the side panels (3) and ends (5). According to the form of preferred embodiment, the angular closure parts (10) are each one attached to the side panels (3). For other On the other hand, it is clear that these areas could be linked to the extreme panels

In addition, flat development comprises a series of fixing fins (12), connected correspondingly to the peripheral edges of one or more panels and / or angular areas, of so that they overlap and can be fixed, for example, by glued, to the central panel (2) and / or to one or more of the panels side and / or one or more of the end panels and / or one or several of the angular areas when the flat development is folded to form the cover.

Flat development can provide so advantageous means for mounting a means of transport. In particular these means may comprise a pair of holes (13) for the placement of a holding handle, for example of the type of a ribbon.

In addition, flat development can provide advantageously means for placing false elements or added, for example a laminar advertising element. According to preferred embodiment, these means for placing false elements have been made in the form of two cuts diagonals (14) arranged in such a way that they allow inserting the corresponding angles of said laminar element. By way of alternatively, diagonal cuts can be replaced by cuts in "U", thus facilitating the successive operation of insertion of the angles of an advertising laminar element.

Each of the angular zones (10) comprises anchoring means (20), (21) at a corresponding angle of a pastry tray

These anchoring means comprise a part equipped with windows made through one or several cuts horizontal (20), parallel to a baseline (19) and a series of cross sections that form corresponding flexible tabs (twenty-one).

The operation and operability of these means Anchoring will be appreciated below by the description.

The flat development (1) will preferably be made of a paper material, for example cardboard.

Advantageously, one or both sides of the flat development can receive a treatment that depends on the utilization. For example you can provide a drawing or other type of face decoration intended to constitute the external part of the cover and / or a hygienic treatment with materials suitable for food use, for the face intended for the internal part of the roof.

Figure 2 is a view of a cover (100) for trays according to the present invention, achieved by folding and fixation of the planar development of figure 1 described.

Figure 3 shows the way in which the cover (100), according to the present invention, can be used to condition a tray (200) of the pastry type of form rectangular.

It should be understood that the cover (100) is It can be made in different dimensions so that it can be adapt to the currently standardized dimensions and shape of the pastry trays.

It is important to note that the correct operation of the cover according to the present invention depends on substantial way of the dimensions and of the form that should be compatible with those of the traditional pastry tray, of substantially rectangular shape, with which you must cooperate. In other terms, the cover element (100) according to the present description presents features such as form and dimensions, which make it appropriate for a pastry tray rectangular in shape Actually, in order to guarantee the cover operation (100) a substantial complementarity, in terms of dimensions and shape, with the tray (200) in order to achieve a conditioning optimum.

Figure 3 also shows the way in which the cover (100) according to the present invention can be provided advantageously of means for the placement of false elements or inserts, for example a laminar element or card advertising

According to the preferred embodiment, these means for the placement of false elements are made in shape of two diagonal cuts (14) arranged in such a way that they can insert the corresponding angles of a card or laminar element (15).

Figures 3A and 3B show two possible alternatives for the realization of the means of placing false elements.

As shown in Figure 3A, the diagonal cuts can be replaced by "U" cuts, so which facilitates successive angle insertion operations of a card (15).

Also alternatively, as has been shown in figure 3B, the means for placing the elements hairpieces can comprise two plastic angles (16), fixed on the cardboard of the cover, within which it can be inserted the card or laminar element (15).

Alternatively, the means of placement of the false elements may comprise a sheet transparent fixed on the cardboard of the cover, inside the which card can be inserted (15).

It should be understood that others may be provided alternatives for the means of placing the elements hairpieces, all included within the same concept inventive.

Referring to figure 4, this constitutes a top view of a cover (100) already coupled with a tray (200).

As you can see, the angles (201) of the tray protrude from the surface profile of the cover when This is attached to the same tray.

As already explained, the dimensions and The shape of the cover are essential for its correct operation related to the complementarity with the tray (200). Actually, from figure 4 it is evident that the cover (100) It must have a plan shape similar to that of the tray. The reason for this is that the cover element (100) must be substantially in contact with the inside of the perimeter of the tray (200), to thereby perform a complete coverage of said tray when packing.

According to the embodiment that has been shown, the base of the cover (200) has an octagonal shape elongated, with substantially rectangular proportions, with chamfered angles.

The profile delimited by the external perimeter (101) of the cover (100), must be substantially such that contain the outer perimeter profile of the tray (200) as it has been shown in figure 4. In other words, the profile of the cover (100) should be such that it completely contacts that of the tray (200) when both elements are coupled.

The side panels (3) and ends (5) as well as the angular closure parts (10), are, once made the cover from the flat development that has been described, inclined with respect to the vertical. In this description, defines a vertical direction orthogonal to the support plane of the tray, plane that is therefore defined as horizontal. At set, once mounted, the cover takes a form substantially trunk-pyramidal, with base octagonal

Therefore, placing the cover (100) on the tray (200), each of the angles (201) of the tray will interfere with the corresponding cuts (20) made in the angular closure parts (10).

The anchoring means may comprise advantageously, in addition to the cuts (20) parallel to the plane horizontal, a series of cross sections that form corresponding flexible tabs (21). These tabs (21) are warp outward during insertion of angles (201).

In any case, the bottom (202) of each of the angles of the tray (201) ends with the support stable on a respective support part (102) of the cover (100)

The insertion of the angles (201) in the cover anchor openings, determines its coupling stable and firm. Figure 6 is a perspective view of a packaging made according to the present invention.

In the preferred embodiment, in each one of the angular parts (10), the cuts (20) and the tabs (21) constitute an open window area in which it is inserted the edge of the angle (201). According to this embodiment, when the cover is inserted in the angles of the tray, these are easily visible and protrude from the angular opening, making therefore more effective coupling of the cover is evident on the tray, as shown in figure 6.

Alternatively, it can be done only a horizontal cut (20), for each of the parts of angular closure, as shown in Figure 6A.

In this case, the window endowed part is not fully open, and even when the cover is inserted at the angles of the tray, these are substantially covered by the tabs (21).

In any case, the support parts (102) can be advantageously reinforced to improve resistance to effort, for example, by corresponding elements of plastic or other reinforcement.

At this time, the packaging is finished and it can be transported by means of fasteners arranged in the same. For example a holding handle (300) of the type of a headband.

Figures 7A to 7C show the form of cover disassembly to open the packaging.

It should be noted that once the cover to a tray, the dimensions are such that it would be especially difficult to decouple without risking the content integrity, especially due to the fact that Tray angles (201) are inserted solidly and deeply in the anchor openings.

Therefore, the cover (100) according to the The present invention can advantageously comprise one or more breakage zones (7).

According to a preferred embodiment, the cover provides for two parts of breakage (7), each defined inside an end panel (5), by means of corresponding break lines (8).

To proceed to the opening of the packaging, it will be It is therefore possible to pull one or both break zones (7), such as shown in figure 7A. Figure 7B is a view side of the packaging during opening.

At this time, it will be possible and sufficient lift the two parts of the cover (104), (105), as it has been indicated by arrows (F1) and (F2), to release simultaneously the four angles (201) and decouple in this way the cover with respect to the tray, without any risk or difficulty.

The present invention has been described by making reference to a preferred embodiment. It should understand that there may be other embodiments that make reference to the same inventive object, all of them remaining within the scope of protection of the claims attached.
