Description

DESCRIPTION

Compartmentized container

Technical field of the invention

The present invention describes a compartmentalized container suitable for the preservation and consumption of food products or snacks. The container comprises at least two compartments where one of them is a central compartment that is concentric to the perimeter of the container.

Background of the Invention

There are many compartmentalized containers on the market intended to contain a single food product of the same origin, although with food varieties, we refer to compartmentalized containers intended to present various types of chocolates, cookies or the like. There are also some in which more than one product is contained but always of the same type or consistency.

On the other hand, when these containers are covered with plastic or paper sheets, they often contact the sheets with food.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is to find a suitable container to keep solid food products of different texture and origin to consume as a snack or “All in One” snack , that avoids mixing the food, that is easy to use, that is transportable , that serves as a tray and finally that can be covered with sheets without the sheets contacting food.

The solution found by the inventors is the container detailed in the claims that comprises at least two compartments where there is a central compartment that is concentric to the perimeter of the container.

Description of the Invention

The compartmentalized container for the preservation and consumption of food products, object of the present invention, consists of a tray-type container that contains several independent compartments, each provided with a depth and independent size to locate a specific salty snack product of meat, vegetable or dairy derivatives and between dry and preserved vegetables, so that they do not mix aromas or flavors and the different container sizes produce an optical sensation of equity, while guaranteeing the independent preservation of each class of food product.

The compartmentalized container for the preservation and consumption of food products places inside a central tank larger than those that surround it, which gives the depth of the base and is intended for the bulkier product, usually potato chips.

The remaining compartments are distributed equidistant and radially from the center of the container, ignoring the central section that remains free and uniform. Strategically distributed aperitif food products are located in these radial compartments, placing the dried fruits on one side and the meat products on the opposite, among which canned vegetable products of the olive type can be placed.

In a preferred way, the perimeter compartments comprise a double base, in this way, playing with a double base for each container, the cold cuts or dairy products can occupy a portion that is optically identical to the rest but with less quantity of product in its interior to get full appearance. In the same way, the products of the type of appetizer biscuits or olives can occupy a deeper tank or contain preserving liquids, keeping the optical unit of size.

The use of separate containers for each product allows its conservation without mixing odors. The uniform external shape allows heat sealing for the preservation of products which, when placed in separate compartments, are isolated from each other, guaranteeing their own preservation phases. The shape of the container is independent of its functionality which depends on the depth and size rather than the round, elongated or square aspect of the container compartmentalized for the conservation and consumption of food products. In a preferred way the container is circular

The external base of the container is superimposed on those of each compartment and coincides with the central one, being flat and uniform, allowing it to be used as a table tray for the consumption of the products it contains.

The invention is intended for the following product combinations, by way of example, and there may be combinations with a greater number of compartments or different products:

PISCOLABIS .9 Option 8 1: Potato chips in central compartment

1- Peanuts

2- Almonds

3- Peaks

4- Ham Tacos

5- Cheese Tacos

6- olives

7- Fuet Tacos

8- Crackers

PISCOLABIS.7 Option 6 1: Potato chips in central compartment

1- Peanuts

2- Olives

3- Cheese Tacos

4- Fuet Tacos

5- Crackers

6- almonds

SNACK. 5 Option 4 1: Potato chips in central compartment

1- Peanuts

2- Olives

3- Cheese Tacos

4- Fuet Tacos

To market the product, the container is filled with food and covered with a sheet. The capping sheets can be made of any material known to the person skilled in the art: conventional plastics, biodegradable plastics, aluminum foil or cloth. In a preferred mode, the container is covered by heat sealing. In the same way, after use the container can be covered using a plastic sheet or aluminum foil.

In a preferred way, the perimeter compartments have a double base made up of a base and legs. The double base is embedded in the perimeter compartment.

The preferred embodiment of the invention is a compartmentalized container that contains a central compartment (1) concentric to the perimeter of the container. The radial walls (2) generate 8 perimeter compartments (3). The wall (4) that generates the central compartment (1) has a greater height than the perimeter wall (5) of the container. The radial walls (2) have a trapezoidal section.

Each perimeter compartment (3) contained a double embedded base made up of a base (6) and a leg (7). Figure 3.

The container was filled with the snack bar 9 detailed above, namely potato chips in the center compartment and peanuts, almonds, picks, ham tacos, cheese tacos, olives, fuet tacos and crackers in the perimeter compartments.

Subsequently, the food container was heat sealed with plastic sheet.

All the claims set out below are part of the description and correspond to embodiments of the invention.
