Abstract

The cover, for a disposable food container, is fitted with heating utensils which can be detached for use from their mounting points to the cover. The cover and utensils are formed by injection moulding or heat shaping, using a plastics material and esp. polypropylene, which has no adverse effects on the foodstuff.

Description

La présente invention concerne la fabrication de couvercle qui est dit utilitaire par la présence en sa surface d'ustensiles qui sont facilements sécables et nécessaires pour l'utilisation ou la préhension du contenu du récipient qu'il ferme
On sait que traditionnellement,un couvercle n'a pour fonction que fermer un emballage et ètre jeté après utilisation du contenu
Lors de voyage ou de pique-nique voire à la maison,il est de plus en plus utiliser de plats préparés préts à ètre consommés en état et il est toujours désagréable de constater l'absence d'ustensile de base pour la préhension ou la découpe tels que couteau,cuiller ou fourchette.I1 en est de mème pour donner une ration prète à la consommation à son animal domestique lors d'un voyage.
The present invention relates to the manufacture of a lid which is said to be useful by the presence on its surface of utensils which are easily divisible and necessary for the use or the gripping of the contents of the container which it closes.
We know that traditionally, a lid only has the function of closing a package and being thrown away after use of the contents
When traveling or picnicking or even at home, it is more and more use of ready meals ready to be consumed in condition and it is always unpleasant to note the absence of basic utensil for gripping or cutting It is the same to give a ready-to-eat ration to your pet during a trip.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier à tous ces ennuis en proposant à l'acheteur un ensemble complet comportant en plus de la nourriture,les éléments nécessaires à sa préhension,le tout étant jetable après utilisation
Compte tenu de l'aspect alimentaire et des possibilités d 'un contact avec la bouche,le matériau de base utilisé servant à la fabrication sera en priorité une matière plastique aux propriétés physiques reconnues en rigidité et qualité alimentaire tel que le polypropylène.
The purpose of the present invention is to alleviate all these troubles by proposing to the buyer a complete set comprising in addition to the food, the elements necessary for gripping it, the whole being disposable after use.
Given the food aspect and the possibilities of contact with the mouth, the basic material used for manufacturing will be primarily a plastic with recognized physical properties in rigidity and food quality such as polypropylene.

Pour une utilisation correcte,qu'ils soient couteau, fourchette cuiller ou autres,les ustensiles devront avoir , en compatibilité avec l'usage etla surface utile du couvercle.Il est par exemple difficile de concevoir un couteau ayant une longueur inférieure à 100 mm.Ces critères sont importants lors de la conception
Une autre précaution est obligatoire lors de la conception, le choix de la position des points d'attaches qui,non seulement sont facilement sécables,mais,de part leur position sur l'ustensile,ne devront jamais ètre sur une partie de l'ustensile en contact avec la bouche pour prévenir de tout risque de blessure,la section des points d'attaches pouvant laisser des éclats de matière lors de la cassure manuelle par l'utilisateur.
For correct use, whether knife, spoon fork or other, utensils must have compatibility with the use and the useful surface of the lid. It is for example difficult to design a knife having a length of less than 100 mm. These criteria are important when designing
Another precaution is compulsory during the design, the choice of the position of the attachment points which, not only are easily divisible, but, due to their position on the utensil, should never be on part of the utensil in contact with the mouth to prevent any risk of injury, the section of the attachment points being able to leave splinters of material during manual breakage by the user.

La face supérieure du couvercle étant en général destinée au service de support pour la description ou présentation du contenu ou tout autre besoin publicitaire et pouvant aussi servir comme surface d'appui pour empilage1 il est indispensable que cette face conserve la plus grande planéité possible bien que les formes et les volumes des ustensiles sont variables en tous sens.I1 devient donc nécessaire d'étudier le profil des ustensiles avec un coté qui soit le plus plane et de positionner celui-ci coté dessus du couvercle comme représenté dans les dessins annexés illustrants un exemple d'application de la présente invention
La figure 1 représente vue du dessus un couvercle qui permet de disposer après sectionnement d'une fourchette et d'un couteau les index "A" représentant les points d'attaches sécables
La figure 2 représente en coupe l'axe "XX'" de la figure 1 en montrant la planéité relative du dessus du couvercle bien que la fourchette ait une forme volumétrique nécessaire.
The upper face of the cover being generally intended for the support service for the description or presentation of the content or any other advertising need and which can also serve as a support surface for stacking1 it is essential that this face retains the greatest possible flatness although the shapes and volumes of the utensils are variable in all directions. It therefore becomes necessary to study the profile of the utensils with one side which is the most planar and to position this side above the lid as shown in the appended drawings illustrating a example of application of the present invention
Figure 1 shows a top view of a cover which allows to have after sectioning a fork and a knife the indexes "A" representing the breakable attachment points
Figure 2 shows in section the axis "XX '" of Figure 1 showing the relative flatness of the top of the cover although the fork has a volumetric shape necessary.

La liste des ustensiles pouvant ètre inclus de façon sécable sur la surface du couvercle n'est pas limitative à la condition unique d'ètre compatible en dimensions et volume à la surface et à la hauteur utiles du couvercle. The list of utensils which can be included in a breakable manner on the surface of the lid is not limiting on the sole condition of being compatible in size and volume on the useful surface and height of the lid.

La présente invention est tout particulièrement destinée à ce qui se présente sous forme d'emballage fermé par un couvercle et prét à sa consommation ou son utilisation en nécessitant l'usage d'un ustensile ou de plusieurs.La plus grande possibilité d'usage se trouve dans les domaines de nourriture pour enfants en bas age ainsi que les rations alimentaires pour animaux domestiques.  The present invention is particularly intended for what is in the form of a package closed by a lid and ready for consumption or use requiring the use of one or more utensils. The greatest possible use is found in the areas of infant food as well as pet food rations.
