Description

"Packaging for skewers".

  To put on sale skewers composed of fragments of meat, bacon and various condiments, it is necessary to use packaging which guarantees their preservation for several days in order to allow their transport from the place of manufacture.

  cation but also their storage awaiting sale.

  Moreover, to preserve the meat, it is known to

  in packs consisting of a tray provided with a peripheral collar constituting a fastening belt for a translucent sealing film, after replacement by a gas mixture of the air contained in the packaging

  Such packages can not be used directly

  skewers because they have a surface of

  changes with the gaseous medium much higher than that of a piece of meat and, moreover, can not be placed directly on the bottom of the tray as a piece of meat because, then, the faces of the skewers in contact with the bottom react differently from other faces and show variations in color and possibly

alterations.

  One of the objects of the invention is to provide a packaging that makes it possible to obtain a good preservation of the skewers by avoiding

  any deterioration in the appearance of any of their faces.

  The skewers are manufactured industrially by deposits in a receptacle of the different food layers composing them, by

  cutting of these layers by means of vertical knives intersecting

  the boundaries of a square grid and, finally, by introducing into these meshes wooden or other pins. Despite the care taken

  when they are put in place, the pins may not be perfectly

  positioned in the longitudinal axis of the food stack.

  As a result, some pins are not parallel to the edges

  of stacking food and that their positioning in the condition-

can be disrupted.

  Another object of the invention is to provide a packaging which enables the garnished skewers to be positioned whatever the

arrangement of their pins.

  For this purpose, the container of the packaging comprises, close to

  mite of each of its longitudinal ends, a vertical step of positioning the ends of the pins, arranged so that the upper and lower faces of the skewered foods are at a distance respectively of the upper film and the bottom, while one

  of these steps has slots which, parallel and spaced,

  position of one of the ends of the pins

  and means for maintaining the spacing between pins so as to

  ger, at least between the side walls of the tray and the pins

  corresponding spaces, which favor the circulation of the

Zeux all around the skewers.

  Thanks to the shape of the packaging, the skewers are posi-

  transversally by introducing one of their extremes

  in the crenellations of one of the tiers and are maintained without

  tact with any of the walls of the packaging so that the gaseous mixture surrounds them completely and can not undergo, in certain areas, changes resulting in appearance alterations

skewered products.

  Other features and benefits will emerge from the

  following description with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing,

  by way of non-limiting examples, a form of execution of this

conditioning.

  Figure 1 is a perspective view with partial section of the tray,

  Figure 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the condition

completed,

  Figure 3 is a plan view above this packaging.

  In known manner, the packaging is composed essentially

  by a tray generally designated by (2) and

  a peripheral flange (3) for fastening by colla-

  ge, heat-sealing or other means, of a superior waterproof film (4)

  closing the upper opening of said tray.

  According to the invention, the tray has, near its longitudinal ends, steps respectively (5) and (6). The

  step (5) is provided with longitudinal slots (7) parallel and spaced

  these. These crenellations are juxtaposed with the internal recess (8) of the bar

  and extend only longitudinally over a portion of the

  Din. It thus delimits, with the corresponding transverse wall (9) and the side walls (11) a housing (10) favoring gripping

  skewers. The bottom (12) of the tray is embossed by reas-

  cross-sections (13) and longitudinal grooves (14)

  a network of channels favoring the circulation of the gaseous mixture

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each of the skewers is

  placed a pin (15) of wood or other materials, on which are inserted meat cubes (16) with intercalating condiments (17) such as onions, tomatoes, peppers, ... Each skewer is arranged in the packaging so that its longest end, favoring its grip, enters one of the crenellations (7) and that its other end which is pointed in (15a) rests on the step (6) o

  FIG. 3 shows that this suspension mode makes it possible to hold a posi-

  satisfactory even when the pin (15) is not quite in the longitudinal axis of the stack of food, as shown in (15b) in Figure 3. This figure also shows that, thanks

  the positioning performed by the slots (7), the different bro-

  chettes are perfectly juxtaposed and that those side are remote from the corresponding vertical walls of the tray, as

represented by spaces (18).

  Steps (5) and (6) also have a determined height of

  as shown in Figure 2, the upper and lower faces

  the kebabs are remote from the film (4)

  and the bottom (12) of the tray (2). race to this arrangement, the melange

  The gaseous geometry contained in the packaging completely surrounds the bro-

  and can thus circulate according to the variations of weather

  depending on the reactions from the exchanges with food. As a result, the gaseous mixture is homogeneous throughout the packaging and all the skewers are subjected to all their

  faces, with the same conditions of conservation.

Claims (3)

  1. Packaging for skewers of the type consisting of a barquet-   te (2) with a peripheral flange (3) for fixing a film   upper closure (4) trapping a mixture of gases,   in that the tray (2) comprises, near each of its longitudinal ends, a vertical step (5-6) of positioning   ends of the pins (15), arranged so that the upper faces   the bottom and bottom of the skewered foods are remotely   respectively of the upper film (4) and the bottom (12), while one of these steps (5) comprises slots (7) which, parallel and spaced, constitute a positioning member of one of the ends of the pins ( 15) and spacing apart member between spits so as to arrange, at least between the side walls (11) of the tray and the corresponding pins, spaces (18) promoting the circulation   gas mixture all around the skewers.   2. Packaging according to claim 1 characterized in that the crenellations (7) are juxtaposed to one recess (8) of the tray, not   extend only on a part of the step (5) corresponding and delimiting   tent, with the vertical walls (9-11) of the tray, a housing   (10) promoting the gripping of the ends of the skewers.   3.
