Description

Improved Containers and Blanks
Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to containers for food and blanks for a container, and more specifically relates to biodegradable and partially biodegradable containers for food and their blanks.
Background to the Invention
The closest prior art known to the applicant are containers for food products such as raw meats, part-cooked meats or cooked meats, which must be packaged hygienically, safely and in such a way that is sufficiently robust to contain the foodstuff and any of its juices.
Containers for storing meats in the refrigerated and frozen sections of supermarkets are particularly relevant.
There is a general need to provide a blank for a container which is more easily processed and assembled into a container or a partially assembled container. For example, the grasping of a blank from a stack of blanks by an assembling apparatus, to form into a container ready to carry a food item, is typically rapid to allow large volumes of blanks to be processed within a given period of time. The configuration of a blank may affect how straightforwardly the blank is grasped, and glued, by an assembling apparatus, and thus how rapidly a stack of blanks may be processed and assembled into containers or partially assembled containers.
It is thus an aim of the present invention to provide improved containers and blanks for containers.
Summary of the Invention
The present inventive concept is directed to a blank for a container for a food product, the blank comprising a substantially rectangular base having four edges, and four substantially rectangular side walls extending from each edge of said base; and a Lid which is joined to one said side wall by a hinged fold to close the container in use; wherein adjacent side walls are joined to one another by a web formed by two substantially triangular portions, wherein the triangular portions of the web are collapsible onto one another towards the is base when the blank is assembled into a container; and wherein a portion of at least one said web comprises an aperture.
The webs formed between adjacent side walls improve the hygiene of an assembled container because there are no penetrable gaps between side walls when a container is assembled. The webs also provide a location for an adhesive to secure parts of the blank to one another as the blank is formed into a fully or partially assembled container.
This configuration is particularly advantageous because an adhesive may be applied to the blank more straightforwardly and to greater effect during processing because of the aperture. Therefore, the assembly of a blank into a container or a partially assembled container is made more efficient.
More specifically, the aperture allows a side wall of the blank to be adhered to the other portion of the web not immediately adjacent to the side wall, through the aperture.
Therefore, an adhesive may be used more sparingly and to greater effect in connecting a web and an adjacent side wall to one another.
A portion of two or more of the webs may comprise an aperture. A portion of each web of the blank may comprise an aperture. Thus, the assembly of the blank into a fully assembled or partially assembled container is improved, and the use of an adhesive on the blank is more efficient.
The aperture of the or each web portion may be substantially triangular in shape. The shape of the or each aperture may correspond to the shape of the respective web portion.
Thus, the aperture is dosed, i.e. is bounded by the web portion on all sides. The or each aperture may be around half the size of the respective web portion. Thus, the aperture provides sufficient contact between a side wall and a portion of the web not immediately adjacent the side wall so that adhesion through the aperture is effective.
The blank may have two long side walls and two short side walls joined to the substantially rectangular base; and the aperture of the or each web is incorporated on a portion of the web immediately adjacent a long side wall Thus, a portion of the or each web not incorporating an aperture is adhered to a long side wall through the aperture of the other is web portion.
Each side wall has a top edge and a bottom edge which is joined to the base by a hinged fold; and at least one said side wall may be trapezoidal.
Thus, a blank may be more straightforwardly grasped to form into a container because the or each trapezoidal side wall naturally raises in relation to the plane of the base.
This configuration is also advantageous because the web will be disposed inwardly towards the base so that an adhesive can be more straightforwardly applied between the web and a side wall via the aperture.
The join between the base and the at least one side wall may be shorter in length than the top edge of the same side wall.
The difference in Length of the top and bottom edges of a side wall cause that side wall to raise slightly relative to the rest of the blank. The raising of the side wall provides a portion for a handler or assembling apparatus to grasp the blank to move it or assemble it into a container. A stack of several blanks may be processed more rapidly because each individual blank is more easily grasped for processing before the next blank is processed.
The or each trapezoidal side wall may be only just trapezoidal in that the different in length between the top and bottom edges is less than a few millimetres and preferably around 1 millimetre.
The lid may be joined to a long side wall, and the at least one trapezoidal side wall is a short side wall adjacent to the wall joined to the lid.
Providing a trapezoidal side wall adjacent to the wall joined to the lid allows the blank to be grasped from one end for processing.
Each of the two short side walls may be a trapezoidal side wall whereby the join between the base and each short side wall is shorter in Length than the top edge of the respective side walls. Providing the two short side walls as trapezoidal side walls allows the blank to is be more straightforwardly grasped from either end. Where both short side walls are trapezoidal walls this also causes the long sides to raise up and the blank may thus be grasped at a long side for processing. A stack of blanks may thus be processed more rapidly.
Each side wall may be a trapezoidal side wall, whereby the join between the base and each side wall is shorter in length than the top edge of the respective side walls. Providing each side wall as a trapezoidal wall allows the blank to be grasped at any side wall for processing and assembly into a container. This arrangement avoids the need to position the blank at a particular orientation for processing because any side wall may be grasped.
Each triangular portion of a web may comprise a free edge, and the angle between two free edges of adjacent triangular portions of a web may be an obtuse angle. An obtuse angle between the free edges of adjacent triangular portions causes a web to rise in relation to a plane of the base. This augments the raising of the or each side wall so that the blank may be more straightforwardly grasped by an assembling apparatus, and adhesive may be more straightforwardly applied between the web and a side wall. With this arrangement, the webs are slanted away from the lid when a container is assembled from the blank. This arrangement ensures that the webs do not obstruct the lid when it is folded to close the container.
The angle defined by the free edge of a web may be slightly greater than 90 degrees.
The top edge of each side wall may comprise a flange which is connectable to the Lid when the blank is assembled to form a container.
Each flange may be arranged so that the flanges of each side wall together form a substantially continuous rim when the blank is assembled to form a container. A substantially continuous rim formed by the flange of each side wall improves the hygiene of an assembled container because the lid may be connected to each side wall around the perimeter of the lid. The lid is thus more rigidly fixed to the side walls of the container once assembled.
The container may be formed of a substantially recyclable material. The container may be is formed of a substantially biodegradable material.
The present inventive concept is also directed to a container for a food product formed by a blank according to the above aspects.

Detailed Description of the Embodiments
Figure 1 shows a blank 10 for a container. The blank comprises a rectangular base 12 and four rectangular side walls 14. A side wall 14 extends from each side of the base 12. Two edges of the base 12 and the side walls 14 extending from those edges are relatively long, and the other two edges of the base 12 and associates side walls 14 are shorter. Each of the side walls 14 is joined to the base 12 by a hinged fold.
A Lid 16 extends from one of the longer side walls 14 and is joined to the side wall 14 by a hinged fold. In use, when the blank is assembled into a container, the Lid 16 is brought into contact with each of the side walls 14 to close the container. The Lid 16 comprises a window 17. Each one of the corners of the lid is rounded.
Adjacent side walls 14 are joined to one another by a web 18. Each web 18 is formed by a succession of two triangular portions. The triangular portions are joined to one another by a hinged fold along a Long edge of each portion. The web 18 is arranged so that the triangular portions are collapsible onto one another when the blank 10 is assembled into a container, and the triangular portions are disposed inwardly towards the base 12.
One portion 19 of each web 18 comprises an aperture 21. The aperture 21 of each web portion is located on the web portion immediately adjacent a long side waLL. In use, when the blank 10 is assembled into a partially or fully assembled container, the aperture 21 of is each web allows an adhesive to connect a Long side waLl to the other, continuous (i.e. non aperture incorporating) portion 23 of the web 18.
Each web 18 of the blank 10 comprises a portion incorporating an aperture 21. Each aperture 21 is triangular and corresponds to the shape of the respective web portion 19.
The aperture 21 of each web portion 19 is roughly half the size of the respective web portion 19.
The blank 100 of Figure 2 also comprises a rectangular base 102 and four rectangular side walls 104. A side wall 104 extends from each side of the base 102. Two edges of the base 102 and the side walk 104 extending from those edges are relatively long, and the other two edges of the base 102 and associates side walls 104 are shorter. Each of the side walls 104 is joined to the base 102 by a hinged fold.
A Lid 106 extends from one of the longer side walls 104 and is joined to the side wall 104 by a hinged fold. In use, when the blank is assembled into a container, the Lid 106 is brought into contact with each of the side walls 104 to close the container. Each one of the corners of the lid is rounded.
Adjacent side walls 104 are joined to one another by a web 108. Each web 108 is formed by a succession of two triangular portions. The triangular portions are joined to one another by a hinged fold along a long edge of each portion. The web 108 is arranged so that the triangular portions are collapsible onto one another when the blank 100 is assembled into a container, and the triangular portions are disposed inwardly towards the base 102.
Each of the side walk has a top edge 112 and a bottom edge 114. The bottom edge 114 of each side wall is joined the base 102 by a hinged fold. The two short side walk 104' are trapezoidal, in that the join between the base and the side wall is shorter in length than the top edge 112 of the same side wall 104'. The width of the side walls 104' therefore narrows towards the base 102. The side walls 104' are only just trapezoidal, in that the difference in Length between the top edge 112 and the bottom edge 114 is around 1 Each of the triangular portions of a web 108 has a free edge 116. The angle between free edges 116 of adjacent triangular portions is an obtuse angle. The obtuse angle is slightly greater than 90 degrees.
Each side wall 104 comprises a flange 118 at the top edge 112 of the side wall 104. Each flange 118 is arranged to be connectable to the lid 106. Each flange is also arranged to form a substantially continuous rim around the perimeter of the lid 106 when a container is formed from the blank 100. The flange 118 extending from the top edge 112 of each of the short side walls 104' are rounded at one end and have a cut away portion 120 at the opposite end. The flange 118 extending from the top edge 112 of the Long side wall 104 not connected to the lid 106 comprises a cut away portion 120 at each end of the flange 118. The cut away portions of flanges of adjacent side walls are arranged to cooperate with one another to form a substantially continuous rim around the perimeter of the lid 106.
Referring still to Figure 2, the base 102 may have a length 187mm and a width of 103mm. Each side wall has a width of 41mm. The Length of the short side walls 104 differs between the top edge and the bottom edge of the side wall 104. The bottom edge 114 of a short side wall 104' has a length of 103mm. The top edge 112 of a short side wall 104' has a length of 104mm.
The lid 106 has a width of 124mm and a length of 223mm. Each of the flanges has a width of 15mm. The length of each flange 118 increases outwardly from the side wall to which it is joined.
The blank 100, including the flanges 118, has a length of 324mm and a width of 299mm.
