Description

65903

DE-OS 2.252.695 discloses a food container comprising a lower container with a bottom wall and vertical side walls and a lid part provided with a top wall with a downwardly directed circumferential wall, the lower part and the lid part being watertight. The known container is particularly suitable for both the content and serving of foodstuffs, whereby a lined bottom wall makes it possible to receive liquid spilled from foodstuffs during storage. When the lower part is used as a serving dish, the foodstuffs are free, for example for cutting, which facilitates cutting.

The advantage of the invention is that it makes it possible to considerably reduce the amount of marinating broth required for the respective marinating of the foodstuffs, in addition to which the time required for marinating the foodstuffs can be considerably reduced.

The container suitable for labeling foodstuffs according to the invention is characterized by the features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a container according to the invention when opened.

Figure 2 shows the container of Figure 1 taken along line 2-2.

Figure 3 shows the container of Figure 1 taken along line 3-3, and this figure shows the container closed with dashed lines.

Figure 4 shows a closed container in partial cross-section.

Figure 5 shows on an enlarged scale the part 5 marked with a circle shown in Figure 4 ·

Figure 6 shows on an enlarged scale the part 6 shown in a circle shown in Figure 4.

Figure 7 is a perspective view of a portion of the container taken along line 8-8 of Figure 6.

The container according to the invention has a lower plate part 5 and an upper lid part 6. The lower plate part 5 has a bottom wall 7 and vertical circumferential members 8. Around the upper edge of these circumferential wall 8 extends an outwardly projecting flange 9 · The second flange 10 extends upwards of the flange. 9 on the outer edge. A small part of the flange 10 extends below the flange 9 to form a handle so as to obtain a grip on the bowl part 5. · The bottom wall 7 has a number of protrusions in the shape of broken pyramids 11. The broken pyramids are spaced apart as shown in Figure 2 by evenly spaced rows. When placing the foodstuff in the bowl part 5, these pyramid-shaped protrusions 11 mainly support the foodstuff in order to reduce the contact area between this and the bottom wall 7. Thus, when the marinating broth is poured on the foodstuff, the broth flows under a considerable part of the foodstuff by flowing along the gaps between the pyramidal projections 11.

The cover part 6 has an upper wall 12, to which the downwardly extending circumferential edges 13 are connected in one piece. .

The flange 14 and the sealing part extend around the entire lower edge of the walls 13. The inner wall 15 and the flange 10 are made to form an angle of about 13 degrees with the vertical. When the cover sealing part 15, 16, 17 is placed on the flange 10 as shown in Fig. 5, a liquid-tight connection is formed. This sealing part stretches slightly so that it presses properly and tightly on the flange. The seal member described herein is similar to the seal member described in U.S. Patent Application No. 560,758. The lid 6 is suitably made of low density polyethylene which is flexible and pliable. The bowl part 5 can be made of low-density polyethylene or high-density polyethylene or polypropylene. The container according to the invention can, of course, also be made of other plastics, as long as they are able to form a liquid-tight connection as shown in Figures 4 and 5.

The upper wall 12 has a number of protrusions formed by the truncated pyramids 18. These truncated pyramids are located, as shown in Figure 2, in a plurality of evenly spaced rows which substantially cover the entire upper wall 12 of the lid 6.

The walls 8 and 13 are approximately perpendicular to the walls 7 and 12, so that the molding broth flows rapidly and completely downwards along these walls.

Figure 3 shows how the lid 6 is placed on the plate 5 to form a closed container.

The container according to the invention is used as follows:

The foodstuff (usually meat, such as steak, chicken or the like) is placed in the plate part 5 to rest mainly on the truncated pyramid-like protrusions 11. The marinating broth is then poured onto the food to be marinated so that it flows along this food and down the channels between the pyramidal protrusions C5903 so that as much of the food as possible comes into contact with this broth. The lid is then placed on top of the container as shown in Figures 3 and 4, whereby a liquid-flowing connection is formed between the plate 5 and the lid 6. After the food has been marinated long enough, the whole pan is turned upside down so that the food now rests on the pyramidal projections 18 of the lid 6. The marinade broth now flows over the food to be marinated, so that as much of the food as possible comes into contact with this broth. When the container is turned upside down, the broth will also drip from the protrusion 11 onto the food, which facilitates the appropriate distribution of the broth to the food. The container can be turned upside down repeatedly many times.

Although the protrusions are described and described herein, this does not limit the scope of the invention. These pyramid-like protrusions are shown in only one preferred embodiment and are arranged in rows to facilitate cleaning of the plate and lid. The height of the protrusions is about 2 mm and the distance between them (from the center line to the center line) is about 13 mm. The container is about 230 mm wide, about 280 mm long and 75 ·· .100 mm high. Of course, the dimensions presented herein are not intended to limit the invention, which is merely described herein as a preferred embodiment.
