Description

CONTAINER TYPE PACKAGING OR BAG

D E S C R I P C I O N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a wrapping or bag type container, having as its object, in particular, a hermetic food packaging solution that is simple, comfortable and that complies with hygiene and safety regulations, as well as with the limitations of space in the post and / or the work surface of artisans and merchants.

The package of wrapper or bag, which is proposed, aims to remedy the various disadvantages existing in the containers used for the temporary packaging of food products of the meat, sausage, fish or cheese type, proposing a new hermetic food package, especially used for the momentary preservation of at least one food product.

The present invention will find an advantageous application in the food field, and more precisely in the fresh sections of the large distribution or where the artisans and traders of the mouth trades, such as for example the butcher shops, the delicatessens, the fishmongers or also the cheese factories

Other advantageous applications may also be considered, such as, for example, in the medical or pharmaceutical field for the transport of certain products, samples or substances.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Hermetic food packages are known from the state of the art, such as for example the container proposed in document FR 2921049. Said container is particularly appreciated by its users and especially by the aforesaid artisans: it allows a food product to be provisionally preserved in good condition.

However, the applicant observes that before being used, the containers are left waiting in the artisan's stall, stacked on top of each other.

Nowadays, said disposition in the position is necessary for reasons of comfort, it is important to have the container in the immediate vicinity of the work surface so that the user can place the product directly in the container without having to move. On the other hand, the fact of placing a stack of containers in the post hinders the user who usually has little space to work.

On the other hand, the applicant observes that the position is not always perfectly clean, cutting a meat or a fish can cause splashes susceptible to soiling the containers that are placed on hold in the post; in such a case, it is necessary to throw away the dirty containers, and that especially for obvious reasons of hygiene.

In the same way, the presence of water in the station can damage the containers that will also have to be thrown away.

It is therefore understood that the presence of these containers in the post is not convenient both for reasons of space occupied and for reasons of hygiene.

The applicant considers that, to date, there is no satisfactory solution in this area that allows to make available easily and conveniently a hermetic food package whose design allows to comply with hygiene and safety standards and responds at the same time to the problems of space limitations of users.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The wrapping or bag type container of the present invention refers more particularly to a food package that includes two sheets, preferably with the same dimensions, joined together in accordance with their lower side and their respective side sides to form a receptacle having an opening in the upper edge of the container for the introduction of the product (s) into the corresponding receptacle.

Advantageously, the package according to the present invention includes adhesive closure means located in the opening to guarantee a hermetic seal of the receptacle when closing the opening.

Preferably, it is to be noted here that the sheets are joined together by welding or sealing.

Therefore, these closing means at the upper edge associated with the joining of the sheets according to their lower and lateral edges guarantee the perfect hermeticity of the storage area defined by the receptacle. Said tightness is appreciated by the users.

One of the objectives here is to preserve said airtightness.

Preferably, at least one of the sheets is impermeable, preferably at least one of the paper sheets being preferred.

In such case, it will be understood that the joining of the two sheets of paper is preferably done by bonding and not by welding.

According to the invention, the two sheets are joined together in order to form at least one hooking area.

Said hitch area is structurally independent of the receptacle.

Here it is understood that the joining of the sheets is done in order to form two zones: a storage area corresponding to the receptacle and a hooking area, both areas being independent of one another.

Advantageously, the hitch area is located in one of the lower corners of the container; the latter is called the hooking corner.

Similarly, the hitch area is located on the edge opposite the upper edge.

Here, it is understood that it is preferably located at the lower edge or in at least one of the two corners adjacent to the lower edge.

According to the invention, each hooking zone includes a hole for attaching the container to a hanging hook in order to hang it. Each latching zone also includes breaking means. The creation of these breaking means in the hitch area is characteristic of the present invention.

It allows to physically separate the hitch area and the receptacle while preserving the tightness of the container.

In fact, the fact of having a coupling area structurally independent of the storage area makes it possible to separate the two zones in case of breakage without altering the tightness of the container.

Preferably, the breaking means are configured to ensure, when the container hangs from the suspension hook, a physical separation between the receptacle and the suspension hook when pulling the corner opposite the hooking corner.

The presence of this perforation in the hooking area allows the container to hang on the suspension hook; it is thus possible to introduce the suspension hook through said perforation in order to hook the container and hang it, for example, at chest height. Here it is understood that said suspension hook can be fixed to a pillar adjacent to the station itself. Clear it is possible for the person skilled in the art to contemplate other configurations within the framework of the present invention to ensure the direct disposal of the container close to the user.

As for the means of rupture, they will facilitate the recovery of the container hung from the suspension hook. In effect, simply pull the corner opposite the hooking corner to retrieve the container.

By exerting a tensile stress exceeding a predetermined threshold corresponding to a breaking stress, the breaking means are broken, thus ensuring physical separation between the receptacle and the suspension hook. Thus, thanks to this combination of technical means, characteristic of the present invention, the container is in the immediate vicinity of the user without remaining in the position.

The hanging container can no longer get dirty with some splashes, which usually happens with a stack of containers in the craftsman's or merchant's stall; in the same way, this allows compliance with hygiene regulations.

When the user needs to recover the container to place a food product in the receptacle, it is enough to pull the corner opposite the hooking corner. The simple fact of pulling the container with a sufficient tensile force allows it to be recovered thanks to the presence of the breaking means provided in the framework of the present invention. Pulling does not alter the receptacle or the storage area so that the tightness of the container is preserved.

In a first variant embodiment, the breaking means integrate a first precut. Preferably, the first precut is made substantially, at least partially, along the boundary between the hitch area and the receptacle.

Here it is understood that said precut guarantees a mechanical connection between the hooking area and the receptacle itself. Thus, when the user pulls the opposite corner to the hooking area according to a tensile stress greater than a predetermined breaking stress, the pre-cut that guarantees the mechanical connection between the hooking zone and the receptacle is broken allowing a physical separation between the two elements that are structurally independent of each other.

In this variant, it is understood that after pulling and breaking the pre-cut, the hooking area remains in the suspension hook and the receptacle itself remains in the user's hand.

In a second variant embodiment, the breaking means consist of a notch or a second pre-cut in each perforation. Said notch or said second pre-cut in the perforation makes it easier to tear the container when it hangs from the suspension hook.

Preferably, said notch or said second precut extends to the peripheral edge of the container.

When pulling the opposite corner (s) to the hooking corner (s), the hook is inserted into the notch or precut, which facilitates tearing of the container with respect to the suspension hook.

In this variant, the user recovers the entire container when it pulls enough of the corner opposite the hooking corner. In this case, the package degrades a bit in the hitch area. Said sacrificial zone being structurally independent of the receptacle, this degradation is not problematic, the receptacle remains intact and hermetic.

According to an advantageous embodiment, it is envisaged to design a container that has a hooking area in one of the lower corners. According to this mode, it can be envisaged that the notch or the second precut extends from the perforation towards the hooking corner, preferably up to the edge of the hooking corner.

According to another advantageous embodiment, it is envisaged to design a package that has two catch zones. According to this mode, it can then be provided that each notch or each pre-cut extend from the perforation towards the lower edge of the container, preferably perpendicular thereto to follow the direction of traction.

Both modes take into account the user's direction of traction. In effect, it is convenient that the second pre-cut or notch follow the direction of traction.

It is understood that the present invention, due to the functional and structural technical characteristics that have been described above, makes it possible to respond to the different problems raised in the preamble, proposing a simple and easy-to-use food package that meets the different hygiene and safety standards. while remaining in the immediate proximity of the user.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The wrapping-type container or bag of the present invention consists of designing a hermetic food package that responds to the limitations of space with respect to the work surface, as well as to the hygiene and safety norms related to the food products.

This is made possible with the package (100) as described below.

In each of the examples described and illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, there is a hermetically sealed food package (100) for the temporary preservation of at least one food product in a storage area.

To facilitate manufacture and limit costs, said package (100) according to the invention has a classic initial design.

In these examples, the packaging has a design substantially identical to that proposed in document FR 2921049.

Thus, as shown in each of the figures, the package (100) according to the present invention includes two sheets (10) and (10 '), made of waterproof paper, for example, with substantially the same dimensions and joined together yes by gluing according to its lower side (10a) and (10a ') and its respective lateral sides (10b) - (10b') and (10c) - (10c ') to form a receptacle (20) having an opening (21) ) on the upper edge (100d) of the container (100).

Here a bond is foreseen, for example when the sheets are paper.

Obviously, it will be understood that those skilled in the art will be able to provide other joining modes, such as welding, for joining the sheets.

In these examples, the opening (21) in the upper edge (100d) is configured for the introduction of one or several food products into the receptacle (20).

In order to guarantee the tightness of the receptacle (20) for a good preservation of the food, the creation of adhesive closure means (40) located in the opening (21) is provided. The receptacle (20) then defines a hermetic storage area.

In the examples described herein, the two sheets (10) and (10 ') are joined together in order to form at least one latching region (30).

Said engagement zone (30) which is structurally independent of the receptacle (20) is characteristic of the present invention. Said zone does not appear in the current designs, as for example in document FR 2921 049.

Said latching region that is structurally independent of the storage area is characteristic of the present invention.

As illustrated in the different embodiments of Figures 1 to 4, said engagement zone (30) is made in at least one of the lower corners of the container (100); these corners are called hook corners (100a).

In the examples of figures 1, 2 and 3, the engagement zone (s) (30) are realized by joining the sheets (10) and (10 ') to each other.

In the example of figure 4, the sheets (10) and (10 ') are butted together and the engagement zone (30) is obtained by welding or additional gluing (30) of the sheets (10) - (10 ') which structurally separate the coupling area (30) from the receptacle (20).

It should also be noted that in the exemplary embodiments described in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the package (100) includes a catch zone (100a) while, in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the package (100) includes two engagement zones (100a).

It should be noted that in one of these examples, each hitch area (30) includes a bore (31) that allows the passage of a suspension hook, not shown, in order to hook the container (100) to hang it.

Therefore, the user who prepares his position, for example at the beginning of the day before the opening of his trade, can grab a stack of containers (100) and introduce the suspension hook (s) through the perforations (31) of each container (100).

This allows you to hang the containers (100) from the hooks or with the purpose of placing them in height within reach of the hand and to prevent them from remaining in the post or the work surface.

It will be understood here that the suspension hook (s) are fixed jointly, substantially at chest height, to a post that is part or not of the post.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, it will be convenient to have two hooks for attaching the containers through the two perforations (31). In the examples of Figures 1, 2 and 4, a single hook is needed to hang the containers (100).

Advantageously, breaking means (32) are provided in each of the examples described here and illustrated in figures 1 to 4.

Said rupture means (32) are created in the engagement zone so that, by actuating these breaking means, the hermetic receptacle physically separates from the suspension hook without deteriorating.

In each of these examples, the breaking means (32) are configured to ensure, when the package (100) hangs from the suspension hook (s), a physical separation between the receptacle (20) and the suspension hook (s). .

In the examples described herein, by pulling the opposite corner (s) (100b) to the engaging corner (s) (100a) according to a tensile stress greater than a predetermined breaking stress, the user retrieves the receptacle (20). ) in your hands without alteration of the tightness of the storage area.

In the example of figure 1, there is a single latching zone (30). Said zone (31) thus has a perforation (21) that allows the passage of a hook for hanging the container (100).

In this example, the breaking means (32) integrate a first precut (32a). More particularly, in this example, the first precut (32) a is performed at least partially along the boundary between the latching region (30) and the receptacle (20).

In this example, it suffices the user to grip the opposite corner (100b) to the hooking corner (100a) and pull it quite hard, that is to say according to a tensile stress greater than a predetermined breaking stress, so that the precutting (32a) ) break and separate the receptacle (20) from the hooking area (30). It is to be noted here that, in this example, the engagement zone (30) of the package (100) remains on the suspension hook.

In the example of figure 2, the same design as in the previous example comes out, except that the first precut (32a) is replaced by breakage elements in the perforation (31).

More precisely, in this example, the breaking elements consist of a second precut (32b) extending from the perforation (31) towards the hooking corner (100a).

In this example, the precut (32b) does not reach the hooking corner (100a). However, it is understood that a design variant can be provided in which the precut (32b) joins the perforation (31) and the hooking corner (100a). In other words, the second precut (32b) can also extend to the peripheral edge of the container.

In one case as in another, the user grabs the corner (100b) opposite the hooking corner (100a) and, upon exerting a sufficient pulling force, breaks the precut (32b) causing tearing of the container (100) in the suspension hook.

In an alternative, the precut (32b) can be replaced by a notch, not shown.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, this is a design variant in which the container has two latching zones (30).

In this example, it is envisaged to hook the container (100) onto two suspension hooks. Here it is understood that this design variant implies a change in the way of pulling.

Contrary to the examples of FIGS. 1 and 2, it is convenient for the user to grasp the upper edge (100d) of the container facing downwards when the container hangs from the two suspension hooks.

In this example, two precesses (32b) are thus provided, each extending from its respective perforation (31) towards the lower edge (100c) of the corresponding container (100), opposite the upper edge (100d).

In this example, the pre-cuts (32b) can alternatively be replaced by notches.

Thanks to the different technical characteristics that have been described above, and especially thanks to the addition of a perforation (31) for the hooking of the container (100) combined with breaking means (32), the user has a container (100). ) whose simple design from an industrial point of view allows hanging the container (100) at chest height, on a suspension hook, and easily retrieving the container by pulling it.

This new design, which perfects the current designs, allows to meet the different expectations of craftsmen from the mouth trades such as butchers, butchers, fishmongers or cheese makers.

It is to be noted that this detailed description pertains to different particular embodiments of the present invention, and that this description does not, in any case, have a character limiting any of the invention, but quite the contrary, since it aims to eliminate any eventual inaccuracy or any misinterpretation of the claims that follow.

It should also be noted that the references indicated in parentheses in the claims that follow do not have any limiting character; said references have the sole purpose of improving the intelligibility and understanding of the claims that follow, as well as the scope of the protection required.
