Description

BARQUETTE A COMPARTIMENTS MULTIPLES
La présente invention a pour objet une barquette à compartiments multiples, pouvant recevoir des produits différents, et destinée en particulier; mais non exclusivement, à un usage alimentaire.MULTI-COMPARTMENT TRAY
The present invention relates to a tray with multiple compartments, which can receive different products, and intended in particular; but not exclusively, for food use.

On sait qu'il existe un grand nombre d'aliments préparés et conservés séparément, mais devant etre ingérés simultanément, par exemple, sauce, salade, charcuterie et pain, etc....We know that there are a large number of foods prepared and preserved separately, but which must be ingested simultaneously, for example, sauce, salad, cold meats and bread, etc.

Ces aliments sont bien entendu préparés séparément, et il importe qu'ils puissent être conservés séparément. Par contre, en vue de leur utilisation, ils doivent etre disponibles simultanément pour le consommateur.These foods are of course prepared separately, and it is important that they can be stored separately. However, for their use, they must be available simultaneously to the consumer.

La présente invention a pour objet de permettre une telle consommation.The object of the present invention is to allow such consumption.

Selon la présente invention, la barquette à compartiments multiples est caractérisée en ce que au moins l'un des compartiments reçoit un récipient interne fermé par un opercule débordant, l'opercule étant scellé dans ledit compartiment, et recouvert par un second opercule couvrant l'ensemble de la barquette.According to the present invention, the tray with multiple compartments is characterized in that at least one of the compartments receives an internal container closed by an overflowing cover, the cover being sealed in said compartment, and covered by a second cover covering the set of the tray.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'adhérence entre les deux opercules est supérieure à l'adhérence du second opercule sur la barquette.According to another characteristic of the invention, the adhesion between the two covers is greater than the adhesion of the second cover on the tray.

Ainsi, le premier opercule peut être posé sur une barquette contenant un produit susceptible de s'altérer lorsqu'il est laissé à l'air libre. Ce récipient étanche peut être conservé pendant un certain temps avant son introduction dans la barquette. Au moment de la fermeture de la barquette, le récipient est, dans un premier temps, scellé à l'intérieur de la barquette sur les lèves du compartiment considéré, puis il est recouvert par un second opercule qui couvre toute la barquette. Thus, the first cover can be placed on a tray containing a product liable to deteriorate when it is left in the open air. This sealed container can be kept for a certain time before its introduction into the tray. When the tray is closed, the container is firstly sealed inside the tray on the lifts of the compartment in question, then it is covered by a second seal which covers the entire tray.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaltront au cours de la description qui va suivre d'un mode particulier de réalisation, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des dessins qui représentent - la figure 1, une vue d'un récipient destiné à recevoir un
premier aliment - la figure 2, une vue d'une barquette à plusieurs
compartiments avant son remplissage - la figure 3, une vue de la barquette après remplissage et
fermeture - la figure 4, une vue de lab barquette après ouverture des
opercules.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the following description of a particular embodiment, given solely by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the drawings which represent - FIG. 1, a view of a container intended to receive a
first food - Figure 2, a view of a multi-tray
compartments before filling - Figure 3, a view of the tray after filling and
closure - Figure 4, a view of the tray lab after opening
covers.

Sur la figure 1, on voit un récipient de forme générale tronconique 1. Ce récipient présente un rebord ou lèvre supérieure 10, contre laquelle peut être scellé un opercule 4 débordant par rapport à la lèvre sur une région 11.In FIG. 1, there is seen a container of generally frustoconical shape 1. This container has a rim or upper lip 10, against which a cover 4 projecting beyond the lip can be sealed over a region 11.

Ce récipient est destiné à être inclus dans une barquette désignée d'une manière générale par la référence 2. Cette barquette comprend des compartiments, . seuls deux compartiments A et B étant représentés sur la figure 2.This container is intended to be included in a tray generally designated by the reference 2. This tray comprises compartments,. only two compartments A and B being shown in FIG. 2.

A l'intérieur du compartiment A, est disposé un récipient 1, tel que celui q ^ est représenté sur la figure 1, comme celà apparaît sur 'a figure 3. Le récipient- 1 est scellé à l'intérieur du compartiment A, par contact de sa zone débordante 11 avec un siège 12 formé à la partie supérieure du compartiment. Ce scellement peut être effectué par tout moyen, par exemple avec interposition de hot-melt, ou encore par des moyens classiques tels que des ultrasons ou des courants hyperfréquences.Inside compartment A, a container 1 is arranged, such as that q ^ is represented in FIG. 1, as it appears on FIG. 3. The container-1 is sealed inside compartment A, by contact of its projecting zone 11 with a seat 12 formed at the upper part of the compartment. This sealing can be carried out by any means, for example with the interposition of hot-melt, or also by conventional means such as ultrasound or microwave currents.

Ainsi, le récipient 1 est pratiquement suspendu à l'intérieur du compartiment A (qu'il peut occuper partiellement ou totalement), et est solidarisé de celui-ci par la partie il débordante de l'opercule 4. Le compartiment B est ensuite rempli, et l'ensemble est fermé par un opercule 3. Comme précédemment, l'opercule 3 est scellé à la périphérie de la barquette 2 sur le rebord ou lèvre 13 de la barquette 2.Thus, the container 1 is practically suspended inside the compartment A (which it can occupy partially or totally), and is joined to the latter by the projecting part thereof of the cover 4. The compartment B is then filled , and the assembly is closed by a cover 3. As before, the cover 3 is sealed at the periphery of the container 2 on the rim or lip 13 of the container 2.

Mais, simultanément à ce scellement périphérique, est réalisé un scellement entre l'opercule 3 et la partie supérieure 11 de l'opercule 4. L'adhérence entre les opercules 3 et 4 doit être supérieure à l'adhérence de l'opercule 3 sur la périphérie de la barquette 2 d'une part, et à l'adhérence de l'opercule 4 sur le siège 12 d'autre part. Cette adhérence supérieure peut être obtenue par exemple, soit par compatibilité si le récipient 1 est réalisé en polystyrène et le récipient 2 en polypropylène, soit par les qualités des adhésifs utilisés, par exemple l'adhésif réalisant la liaison entre la lèvre 13 et l'opercule 3 étant pelable, alors que l'adhésif réalisant la liaison entre les opercules 3 et 4 ne l'est pas.But, simultaneously with this peripheral sealing, a sealing is carried out between the cover 3 and the upper part 11 of the cover 4. The adhesion between the covers 3 and 4 must be greater than the adhesion of the cover 3 on the periphery of the tray 2 on the one hand, and the adhesion of the seal 4 on the seat 12 on the other hand. This superior adhesion can be obtained for example, either by compatibility if the container 1 is made of polystyrene and the container 2 of polypropylene, or by the qualities of the adhesives used, for example the adhesive making the connection between the lip 13 and the cover 3 being peelable, while the adhesive providing the connection between the covers 3 and 4 is not.

La figure 4 représente, schématiquement, l'ouverture d'une barquette selon l'invention. En soulevant l'opercule 3 à l'aide d'une patte 14 par exemple, celui-ci se détache progressivement de la périphérie 13 de la barquette 2.Figure 4 shows, schematically, the opening of a tray according to the invention. By lifting the cover 3 with the aid of a tab 14 for example, the latter gradually detaches from the periphery 13 of the container 2.

Lorsqu'il arrive dans la zone où se trouve l'opercule débordant 4, celui-ci est arraché dans le même mouvement du siège 12, ce qui libère l'accès des compartiments A et B de la barquette 2, et permet, éventuellement, de procéder au mélange des produits se trouvant dans chacun des compartiments.When it arrives in the zone where the overflowing cover 4 is located, it is torn off in the same movement of the seat 12, which frees access to the compartments A and B of the tray 2, and allows, possibly, mix the products in each of the compartments.

Bien entendu, une barquette telle que 2 peut contenir plusieurs compartiments et constituer, par exemple, un plateau repas, certains de ces compartiments étant fermés par un seul opercule tel que 3, alors que d'autres compartiments sont fermés par deux opercules superposés 3 et 4. I1 est ainsi possible, conformément à l'invention, de réaliser des fermetures successives par scellement de différents produits à l'intérieur d'une barquette, l'ouverture de ladite barquette étant instantanée, et donnant accès à tous les compartiments. Of course, a tray such as 2 can contain several compartments and constitute, for example, a meal tray, some of these compartments being closed by a single cover such as 3, while other compartments are closed by two superimposed covers 3 and 4. It is thus possible, in accordance with the invention, to produce successive closings by sealing different products inside a tray, the opening of said tray being instantaneous, and giving access to all the compartments.

I1 va de soi que de nombreuses variantes peuvent être introduites, notamment par substitution de moyens techniquement équivalents sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.  It goes without saying that many variants can be introduced, in particular by replacing technically equivalent means without going beyond the ambit of the invention.
