  Purpose and functionality of the Product The present invention relates to a suitable bread packaging, ergonomic, hygienic, and design. This packaging, while allowing the handling of the bread, isolates it from any contact with the hands, the cleanliness of the bread is thus maintained

  s from the outlet of the oven to the sale to customers.

  The protection of bread from bacterial agents, during various manipulations before delivery to customers, by the same person who serves and gives change, becomes a

  essential element of public health.

  The multiplication of microbial agents and their transport has strongly developed in recent years, with the growth of consumer mobility. Furthermore, the introduction of the Euro was not a success in hygienic matters, coins made up of a high percentage of nickel and copper oxidize and leave deposits and deposits during their handling.

traces difficult to remove.

  s The gripping of the bread by the baker when she hands the bread over to the buyer, represents a risk of contamination; for the baker operates indiscriminately with both the left hand and the right hand. The baker is not sheltered from the transmission of contaminating agents, either because they have had messy stains without washing their hands, before handling the bread, or because they are handling classic vehicles banknotes and coins

bacteria and harmful materials.

  The product proposed for bakers and consumers avoids direct contact of the operator's hand which serves at the counter with the bread, and therefore avoids

contamination of bread.

  2s The bread is taken on the console by the baker already provided with "special" packaging

says "suitable bread packaging".

  The baker or the person serving at the counter takes the unit packaging of a

  bread from a dispenser placed against the console or just nearby.

  This dispenser contains preformed unit packaging, several variants of

  o these unit packages are offered.

  Each distributor is equipped with a container which can be loaded with a quantity

  packaging ranging from 100 to 250 units.

  Operating mode The operator places his hand on the unitary packaging, made available by the container, by making a gripping movement, that is to say thumb and fingers apart. The curved surface of the package is large enough that a large hand cannot go beyond its ends. Then he exerts a slight pressure with the thumb on the packaging and its support and folds the last phalanx of the thumb with a slight movement, which has the effect of detaching the upper packaging "n" from its lower alter ego "n + 1 "relic to him by a small

  square self-adhesive surface positioned on the upper surface (2).

  The upper texture of the packaging is sufficiently rigid for normal gripping pressure to be exerted by the thumb on one side and the other 4 fingers of

  the other on its surface does not wrinkle or lower it.

  s The operator, by simply moving his arm, positions his hand at the level of the bread to be taken, and grasps it with his hand protected from the packaging. The gripping of the bread is done with the internal face of the product "suitable bread packaging", the baker tightens the packaging around the bread with a simple pressure of folding the fingers around the bread. The packaging by its texture remains temporarily in

  so placed tightly around the bread, after having been tightened and partially folded.

  Then with a simple gesture, it closes the still free part of the non-tight packaging.

  There are 4 closure modes available: alpha mode:

  the packaging has on one edge "a" a detachable self-adhesive tab (2).

  s In this case, the operator uses his free hand to pinch and pull the tab in one movement in order to release it from its glued part; then fold the edge with the tab on the other edge, taking care to ensure a

  maximum overlap by pulling edge "a" on edge "b" between thumb and index finger.

  In the continuity of this movement the operator unfolds the cleared part (3) of the

  o self-adhesive tab on the central part set back from the edge "b" edge.

  The packaging stands firm and can be returned to the consumer.

  be'ta mode: the packaging has longitudinally on its two edges "a" and "b" a small surface (4) slightly reinforced in rigidity over a small width. The edge "b" is provided with a light layer of sticker (5). In this case, the operator uses the thumb of the hand which encloses the bread to compress the edge "a" of the packaging against the edge "b" held by the other 4 fingers, and in a single movement using his hand free, it slides the thumb and the index-majour couple together in the form of a tight piece along the self-adhesive and stiffened part of the packaging. The two edges are found glued, as after a closing operation by

  slide. The packaging can thus be returned to the consumer.

  gamma mode: the packaging has on the two edges "a" and "b" in the middle a small plastic clip (6) stiffened by metal. The width of the package in this 2s closure mode is slightly smaller than in the other figures, because there is not as much overlap from one edge to the other. In this case, the operator normally tightens the packaging around the bread, and uses his free hand with only three fingers to fold one edge of the packaging on the other and twist the wires (6) by maximum two-wire trots (the slightly offset wind fasteners (7) positioned on the edges to promote overlapping). The two edges are

  are thus maintained, and the packaging can be returned to the consumer.

  delta mode: the packaging has on the central part of the inside edge "b" two small adhesive squares, one inch wide. In this case, the operator uses his hand as free, in one movement to ensure maximum overlap of edge "b" on edge "a" by taking edge "b" between thumb and index finger, and in the continuity of this movement the operator presses the central part of the edge "b" on the edge "a", the self-adhesive parts are thus in contact and allow a

perfect collage.

  o The packaging stands firm and can be returned to the consumer.

  Product description All the models are distinguished by their closing mode and have the same common part. The common part described is that which is suitable for a baguette-type bread, obviously the sizes of the alpha, beta, gamma and delta models. will be adapted to suit other types such as twine, flutes, large loaves etc ... Common flavors of the models II stagit of a sheet of kraft style paper slightly stiffened and preformed by bending. The stiffening process can be done by weaving very fine fibers so suitable (light memory material, plasticizer based on polyethylene

3- 2839705

  reticle etc ..) within it, by starching or any other suitable process for

  obtaining packaging whose grip is deemed correct.

  The sheet has a format 24cm + 1- 2cm by 28cm +/- 2cm and a grammage of the order

from 80g +/- 20g.

  s This sheet is preformed to facilitate gripping and curved in a straight line, or not symmetrical. Wile has two sides. The first hygienic side of appearance (8) polyethylene glass is protected against potential contamination during storage or reeling, it is the side in contact with the bread. The auke face cited for gripping is of mat and rough appearance (9), with an appropriate texture (light o graining or scratching or other form of attachment) to facilitate holding in the palm of the hand. When using fine threads or fibers (10), the thermal and mechanical treatments upstream of these (metal or plastic alloy based on crosslinked polyethylene) give them slight elastic memory properties (by compression-heating to temperature close to 37 C), and this translates into effective retention of the paper around the bread during the operation

manual tightening and after.

  Preformed packaging is placed on a trunk-shaped container

  asymmetrical cylindrical. The cross section is a semi circle of 13.4 cm +/-

  lcm extended by a segment of 3cm + 1- 1 cm, the development of this cut has a

  length equal to that of the length of the package.

  On the upper edge "a" of the packaging is in the middle a part of self

  3m by 3cm square tights (1). The characteristic of this self-adhesive adhesive is that it favors holding on the go during the gripping operation. The force of adhesion to the skin (to the thumb) plus the force of the "peeling effect" must be 2s greater than the force of adhesion between two packages glued with this same adhesive. The external face (9) is printed and includes the advertisements required for the

  economic viability of placing the product and its variants on the market.

  Feed mill advertising, generic rational advertising and / or

so regional proximity.

  Alpha model (Figure 1) This model has a detachable self-adhesive tab (2) positioned on the edge "a". The tongue is 8cm +/- lcm long and 25mm +/- 5mm wide, this tongue is itself glued (or enchassee) (12) on its end to the edge "a" of the packaging on 1S mm +/- Smm and is in the folded waiting position and glued on itself over almost its entire length (except a portion of

  lcm used to hold when closing and not self-adhesive).

  The edge-to-edge holding of the self-adhesive adhesive must be sufficient for support during the transport of the packaging and the positioning of the containers in the distributors. The peeling force must not exceed a few tens of

  grams, on the other hand the hold on the edge "b" of the packaging must be perfect.

  Be'ta model On this model the edges "a" and "b" (over the whole length) of the packaging are slightly stiffened in stiffness over a width of 15mm +/- S mmm (4). The inner edge "b" (hygienic side) is coated with an adhesive (5) whose adhesion power at ambient temperature on the outside face of the next package is low, so that during the operation of peel with your thumb to detach the packaging from its container, there is no resistance offered. The inner edge "a" is treated physico-chemically in such a way, that when the two inner edges are brought into contact over their length, the pressure exerted by the "piece" "thumb-index / middle finger" which slides longitudinally results in a localized temperature rise leading to a process of

  "melting and hardening" of the two edges, hence a strong adhesion.

  Gamma s model On this model the two edges "a" and "b" have in their middle a rigid plastic wire tie of 4cm + I- lcm long, flat wire of 1 mm wide and 0.4

thick (6).

  Side edge "b" the wire is strung in the packaging (pressure-bonding process) (7) and goes beyond the edge of "sheet", side edge "a" the wire is also strung in the packaging in the middle, but "comes out "of the" sheet "being set back from the edge of mm + I-10mm, in order to favor the overlapping of the two edges during folding. Delta model On this model the inner edge "b" has in its center two squares of adhesives of 3m by 3cm, set back from Scm +/- lcm and separated by 6m +/- lcm. (11) Physico- chemical point (identical to the beta model) of the central part of the edge "a", will cause with the closing at the time of the pressure of the edge "b" on "a" a localized rise in temperature causing a process of

  "fusion / hardening" of the two edges or strong adhesion.

  Packaging The alpha, beta or gamma models are delivered to pre-cut bakers, preformed and placed on containers of different sizes (packaging of

, 250 or 5001.

  Distributor 2s It is a simple and aesthetic concept equipment, placed against a wall and leans the console in the most suitable place or nearby, but quite far from the cash register and the counter. Allowing the baker to grasp one of the models by

  simple pressure and detachment as described above.

  Distributor "A" where the simplest equipment includes: the distributor casing, with a reel edge to extend the detachment of the packaging, and its wall or system for fixing to the container the container placed in the distributor casing container fixing system in the distributor frame. The container is locked and unlocked by a simple push and 1/4 turn of a

  key, two handles front and rear allow the installation and removal of the container.

  Distributor "B" This model is identical to model "A", except that the supply of the packaging is made semi automatic by pressing a pedal. The packaging "n" is detached from its next "n + 1" by a mop operated by the

  control a pedal, and just position your hand in-quite.

  "idiot-proof" security is incorporated to avoid untimely events (double hit

pedal etc ...).

  Costs and profitability The maximum cost objective of the models is 2.5 euro cents [unit. It can be sold to the baker or taken into account by the miller or a

  cooperative, it is only a question of organizing financial flows.

  The potential market is around 450 million per year of packaging for alpha, beta or gamma models. The assumption of a 15% market share is

  so reasonable, and the manufacturing cost objectives based on this value.

  The profitability of the operation is reinforced by the contribution of advertising.

  Advertising made by the millers themselves, rational generic advertising (car rental companies, boats, services, etc.) and local advertising nearby (insurers,

  real estate agents, medium distribution areas ...).

  The inventor will be remunerated by the royalties he will take on each unit sold.

  The process of putting such a project into perspective is based on research and

  cooperation of one or more mining partners, and an industrial partner.
