DESCRIPTION

PACK CONTAINING A CURED FOOD PRODUCT TEMPTATION

Technical field

The present invention relates generally to a package containing a snack of

5 cured food product and more particularly to a snack including an individual serving of portions of cured food product vacuum packed in a wrap made of plastic sheet. The cured food product may comprise, for example, tacos or shavings of cured ham, sausage tacos, and cheese tacos, among others.

Background of the invention

10 It is known to commercialize quantities corresponding to multiple portions of portions of cured food product vacuum packed in a flexible foil wrap of plastic material optionally provided with an easy-opening device, which has the advantage of preserving the portions of cured food product in an optimal state of conservation. However, a drawback of this presentation is that from

When the package is opened, the multiple portions of portions of cured food product contained in the package must be consumed in its entirety in a short period of time to avoid deterioration. Another drawback lies in the difficulty of extracting the portions of cured food product from the inside of the package without staining the hands with the fat of the cured food product, since the multiple

20 portions are arranged flat and extended in the wrapper, which forces you to put your fingers in the wrapper or tear the entire wrapper to reach the portions of cured food product.

It is also known to commercialize individual portions of portions of cured food product arranged in a top cone open for immediate consumption, which has the disadvantage of an unsafe transport due to the possibility of spilling the product from the cone, a difficulty of medium or long-term preservation due to exposure of the food product to the surrounding air, and a high probability of staining the fingers with the grease of the cured food product since the cone is provided so that the food product portions

30 cured be taken by hand for consumption.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention contributes to mitigating the above and other inconveniences by providing a container containing a snack of cured food product comprising a wrapper containing an individual portion of portions of cured food product, wherein the wrapper comprises two flexible sheets, made of a plastic material, located on opposite sides of the individual ration of portions of cured food product, the two sheets being attached and joined together in marginal regions around a sealed housing containing the individual ration of portions of cured food product. The wrapper further comprises an easy-opening device whereby the wrapper is capable of being torn manually.

image2

Orientatively, an individual serving of portions of cured food product is considered an amount between 25 and 40 grams. The portions of cured food product that constitute the individual ration are arranged in the wrapper forming an elongated strip having a medium thickness and a medium width. The average thickness measures 20% or more of the average width, and more preferably the average thickness measures 30% or more of the average width. By way of illustration only, for an elongated strip of cured food product having an average width of 20 mm, the average thickness would be 4 mm or greater, and more preferably it would be 6 mm or greater. This does not exclude that the thickness of the elongated strip can measure half or more of the width, or even that the thickness is equal to or greater than the width.

The easy-opening device is located in the wrapper in a position adjacent to one end of the wrapper or in which the elongated strip formed by the individual ration of portions of cured food product is contained.

Thus, when the wrapper is torn by the easy-opening device, the housing is provided with an open end and the portions of cured food product constituting the individual ration can be gradually extracted through the open end of the housing by manually exerting pressure on a region. of the wrapper adjacent to one end of the individual ration opposite the open end of the housing without any risk of staining the fingers with the grease of the cured food product.

This is because the housing with the open end acts as a conduit lubricated by the grease of the cured food product, and the pressure exerted manually on the wrapper in combination with the relatively large thickness in relation to the width of the elongated strip pushes the portions of cured food product towards the open end sliding inside the housing. Portions of cured food product can be taken directly with the mouth as they are removed from the housing or can be poured onto a plate or the like.

image3

The package containing a snack of cured food product comprises, in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary skewer superimposed and attached to one of the marginal regions of the wrapper in a position parallel to the elongated strip formed by the individual ration of portions of cured food product. The skewer, which is preferably made of wood, has a pointed end. Thus, in case the portions of cured food product are poured from the wrap on a plate or the like, the skewer can be used to take the portions of cured food product by pricking them without risk of staining the fingers.

Preferably, the individual portion of cured food product portions is vacuum packed in the wrapper. In one embodiment, the two sheets that form the wrapper are obtained from a crushed tube made of plastic sheet, the plastic material being preferably transparent.

The skewer is attached to the wrapper, for example, by a label attached to the skewer and wrapper. The label is preferably self-adhesive. In one embodiment, the label is superimposed on the skewer and surrounds the wrapper forming a strip. Preferably, the label has printed and / or printed graphic information.

In one embodiment, the skewer has a portion adjacent to the pointed end that extends beyond one end of the wrapper, the pointed end of the skewer being inserted into a hole selected from a plurality of holes formed in a support panel of a display to hold the container containing a snack of cured food product in an upright position in the display.

For example, the display can comprise a base panel for resting on a support surface and a rear vertical panel preferably provided with printed and / or printed printed information, in addition to said support panel provided with holes. For example, the rear vertical panel may be connected to a rear end of the base panel, and said support panel may be arranged in a slightly inclined position superimposed on the base panel, connected to a front end of the base panel and supported or nestled in the rear vertical panel.

Thus, when the pointed ends of the skewers are inserted in the holes of the display panel of the exhibitor, the packaging of the containers containing a snack of cured food product are arranged as banners with the labels clearly visible in front of the rear vertical panel of the exhibitor.

In one embodiment, the easy-opening device comprises a notch formed at an edge of one of the marginal regions of the wrapper, in a position adjacent to one end of the elongated strip formed by the individual ration. Alternatively or additionally, the easy-opening device comprises a weakened line formed in the wrapper, in a position adjacent to one end of the elongated strip formed by the individual ration.

The cured food product included in the package of the present invention may comprise, for example: cured ham tacos or shavings, preferably acorn ham; tacos of a combination of Iberian sausages selected from loin, prey, chorizo, morcón and sausage; and tacos of a combination of cheeses selected from semi-cured cheese, cured cheese and gran reserve cheese.

The individual ration 3 includes, for example, 25 to 40 grams of portions of cured food product selected from a group comprising cured ham tacos or shavings, tacos of a combination of Iberian sausages selected from loin, prey, sausage, morcón and sausage, and tacos of a combination of cheeses selected from semi-cured cheese, cured cheese and gran reserve cheese.

The two sheets 2a, 2b are obtained for example from a crushed tube made of plastic sheet and are attached and joined together in marginal regions 5 surrounding the housing containing the individual ration 3. Preferably, the individual ration 3 portions of cured food product is vacuum packed in wrapper 2.

The portions of cured food product constituting the individual ration 3 are arranged in the wrapper 2 forming an elongated strip, which has an average width A (Fig. 1) and an average thickness G (Fig. 2). The average thickness G is relatively large in relation to the average width A. Preferably, the average thickness G is 20% or more of the average width A, and more preferably, the average thickness G is 30% or more of the width half A.

The wrapper 2 further comprises an openable device 4 including a notch formed at an edge of one of the marginal regions 5 of the wrapper 2, in a position adjacent to one end of the housing containing the elongated strip formed by the individual ration 3 in the wrapper 2.

As illustrated in Fig. 5, the wrapper 2 can be manually torn by means of the easy-opening device 4 to provide an open end 6 to the housing where the individual ration 3 is located, and the portions of cured food product constituting the individual ration 3 can be gradually removed from the housing through the open end 6 by manually exerting a pressure on a region of the wrapper 2 adjacent to one end of the individual ration 3 opposite the open end 6 without risk of getting your fingers dirty with the fat of the cured food product.

Thus, the housing, when provided with the open end 6, behaves as a conduit lubricated by the grease of the cured food product, and the pressure exerted manually on the wrapper 2 in combination with the relatively large average thickness G in relation to the average width A of the individual ration 3 causes the portions of cured food product constituting the individual ration 3 to slide through the inside of the housing towards the open end 6 and gradually exit the wrapper 2 through the open end 6. The product portions Cured food can be taken directly with the mouth as they leave the housing of the wrapper 2 or can be poured into a plate or the like.

The label 8 has an outer surface suitable for carrying printed and / or printed information.

By breaking the label 8 the skewer 7 is released and can be used to puncture the portions of cured food product that constitute the individual ration 3 to take them to the mouth when the portions of cured food product have been poured onto a plate or the like, allowing its consumption without the need to get your fingers dirty with the fat of the cured food product.

In the embodiment shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the skewer 7 has a portion adjacent to the pointed end 7a protruding from one end of the wrapper 2, preferably from the opposite end to the openable device 4. When the skewer 7 is attached to the wrapper 2, the pointed end 7a of the skewer 7 can be inserted into a hole 14 selected from a plurality of holes 14 formed in a support panel 11 of an exhibitor 10 (Fig. 4) to hold the container containing a snack of cured food product 1 in an upright position in the display 10.

The display 10 shown in Fig. 4 comprises, in addition to the support panel 11, a base panel 12 and a rear vertical panel 13 made of a single piece of corrugated cardboard. The support panel 11, the base panel 12 and the rear vertical panel 13 are connected to each other by cleft lines 15 that constitute hinges, whereby the

image7

The base panel 12 is provided to rest on a support surface, such as a counter, a table, etc. The rear vertical panel 13 has front and rear surfaces 5 that have printed and / or written information printed, and in the working position it is connected perpendicularly to a rear end of the base panel 12. In the working position, the panel of support 11 is disposed in a slightly inclined position above the base panel 12, and has a first end connected to a front end of the base panel 12 and a second end resting on the rear vertical panel 13. From

10 an edge of the support panel 11 corresponding to the second end extends projections 16 that are inserted into openings 17 formed in the rear vertical panel 17. However, it should be noted that the configuration and arrangement of the display 10 is variable.

The holes 14 are arranged in the support panel 11 according to an array of

15 10 x 11 making a total of 110 holes 14 to hold up to 110 containers containing a snack of cured food product 1. Obviously, the number and arrangement of the holes 14 is also variable.

In the display 10, the wrappers 1 of the containers containing a snack of cured food product 1 are arranged as a banner and with the labels 7 well 20 visible in front of the rear vertical panel 13 of the display 10 when the pointed ends 7a of the Skewers 6 are inserted in the holes 14 of the support panel 11 of the display 10. The packages containing a snack of cured food product 1 can be easily removed from the display 10 simply by pulling them upwards.
