Descrizione del modello industriale di utilità' avente per titolo "CONTENITORE IN CARTONE PER IL CONFEZIONAMENTO DI PIZZE, PASTA FRESCA E PRODOTTI DI PASTICCERIA" Description of the utility industrial model entitled "CARDBOARD CONTAINER FOR THE PACKAGING OF PIZZAS, FRESH PASTA AND PASTRY PRODUCTS"

DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

Il presente modello industriale di utilità' concerne un contenitore per pizze da asporto, pasta fresca, prodotti di pasticceria ed altri generi alimentari che i negozianti devono confezionare con particolare cura per assicurarne l'integrità' durante il trasporto. The present industrial utility model concerns a container for take-away pizzas, fresh pasta, pastry products and other foodstuffs that retailers must pack with particular care to ensure their integrity during transport.

Attualmente, sia le pasticcerie come i negozi di pasta fresca si avvalgono dei classici vassoi di cartone o cabaret, bassi e con il bordo a bacinella, da impacchettare con un foglio di carta dopo avere disposto le strisce di cartone che ne impediscano il contatto coi prodotti racchiusi. Currently, both pastry shops and fresh pasta shops make use of the classic cardboard or cabaret trays, low and with a bowl-shaped edge, to be wrapped with a sheet of paper after having arranged the cardboard strips that prevent them from coming into contact with the products. enclosed.

Simili confezioni, oltre a risultare eccessivamente laboriose e quindi d'intralcio nei momenti di punta di un negozio, non sono accatastabili e già' trasportarne due diventa un problema perche' impegnano entrambe le mani. Similar packages, in addition to being excessively laborious and therefore hindering the peak moments of a shop, are not stackable and already carrying two becomes a problem because they use both hands.

Sono invece accatastabili gli attuali vassoi per pizze da asporto, ma trattasi di contenitori in plastica termoformata che, oltre a creare problemi di condensa proprio per 1'impermeabilità' della plastica, sono privi di coperchio e devono essere quindi impacchettati con un foglio di carta sia nei confezionamenti singoli come in quelli multipli. On the other hand, the current trays for takeaway pizzas are stackable, but these are thermoformed plastic containers which, in addition to creating condensation problems due to the impermeability of the plastic, are without a lid and must therefore be packed with a sheet of paper both in single as well as in multiple packs.

il presente trovato, piu' economico di altri contenitori noti di pari capacita', e' estraneo agli inconvenienti esposti in quanto non crea problemi di condensa, e' accatastabile e non necessita di essere impacchettato con carta, essendo prevista la chiusura con un coperchio ripiegabile per il contenitore singolo ed un coperchio riportato per l'ultimo di piu' contenitori accatastati. the present invention, cheaper than other known containers of equal capacity, is unrelated to the drawbacks described in that it does not create condensation problems, is stackable and does not need to be packed with paper, as it can be closed with a foldable lid for the single container and a lid shown for the last of several stacked containers.

Va inoltre rilevato che il contenitore in oggetto e' un semplice cartone fustellato, eventualmente personalizzato all'esterno con decori e scritte pubblicitarie, che viene trasformato manualmente in contenitore al momento o quasi del suo utilizzo e senza alcun ausilio di adesivi ne' di punti metallici. It should also be noted that the container in question is a simple punched cardboard, possibly customized on the outside with decorations and advertising writings, which is manually transformed into a container at the time or almost of its use and without any use of adhesives or metal staples. .

Ciò', oltre ad essere apprezzabile sotto l'aspetto igienico-alimentare, contribuisce al contenimento dei costi di produzione nonché’ a limitare l'ingombro di tali prodotti durante il trasporto e lo stoccaggio. This, in addition to being appreciable under the hygienic-food aspect, contributes to the containment of production costs as well as to limit the encumbrance of these products during transport and storage.

Queste ed altre peculiarità’ emergono dalla descrizione che segue e dalle sei tavole di disegno allegate dove, a solo titolo indicativo e non limitativo, sono rappresentate: These and other peculiarities emerge from the following description and from the six attached drawing tables where, for indicative and non-limiting purposes only, are represented:

- la FIG. 1 che mostra lo sviluppo del cartone fustellato per il contenitore a vassoio A; - FIG. 1 showing the development of the punched cardboard for the tray container A;

- la FIG. 2 che mostra lo sviluppo del cartone fustellato per il contenitore a scatola B completo di coperchio; - FIG. 2 which shows the development of the punched cardboard for the box container B complete with lid;

- la FIG. 3 che mostra una vista assonometrica del vassoio A con coperchio riportato; - FIG. 3 which shows an axonometric view of the tray A with the lid inserted;

- la FIG. 4 che mostra una vista assonometrica della scatola B chiusa; - FIG. 4 showing an isometric view of the closed box B;

le FIGG. 5 e 6 che mostrano, in assonometria, l'accatastamento di piu' vassoi A ed il loro completamento in alto con un coperchio riportato C o con una scatola B. FIGS. 5 and 6 which show, in axonometry, the stacking of more trays A and their completion at the top with a cover shown C or with a box B.

Prima di entrare nel merito del trovato occorre sottolineare che alcune peculiarità' sono proprie del cartone in quanto di origine vegetale, biodegradabile ed igroscopico quanto basta ad evitare la condensa del vapore acqueo generato dagli alimenti appena cotti. Before entering into the merits of the invention, it should be emphasized that some peculiarities are typical of cardboard as it is of vegetable origin, biodegradable and hygroscopic enough to avoid the condensation of water vapor generated by freshly cooked foods.

Inoltre, trattandosi di cartone ondulato, il contenitore risulta leggero, sufficientemente rigido per l'accatastamento e relativamente termoisolante . Furthermore, since it is corrugated cardboard, the container is light, sufficiently rigid for stacking and relatively heat-insulating.

Con riferimento alle FIGG. 1-3-5, le sponde del vassoio A non racchiudono interamente il fondo quadrangolare 1 poiché' restano a sporgere, nei quattro angoli, altrettante porzioni triangolari che, nell'accatastamento, assicurano l'appoggio sulle sponde del vassoio sottostante. With reference to FIGS. 1-3-5, the sides of the tray A do not entirely enclose the quadrangular bottom 1 since as many triangular portions protrude in the four corners which, in the stacking, ensure the support on the sides of the underlying tray.

Inoltre le sponde 10, innalzantisi da due lati paralleli del fondo 1, si ergono oltre gli appoggi su cui disporre un ulteriore vassoio oppure il coperchio quadrangolare C, obbligando cosi' l'uno o l'altro all'allineamento verticale della FIG. 5. Furthermore, the sides 10, rising from two parallel sides of the bottom 1, rise beyond the supports on which to arrange a further tray or the quadrangular lid C, thus obliging one or the other to align vertically in FIG. 5.

Per ottenere un simile vassoio, nel relativo cartone fustellato (FIG. 1), avente una conformazione di simmetria rispetto alle due linee ortogonali di mezzeria, ciascuno dei quattro lati del fondo quadrangolare 1 e' definito da un tratto mediano cordonato 2 o 9, estendentesi quanto l'adiacente sponda laterale 3 o 10, nonché' dai due tagli che separano dal fondo suddetto la coppia di alette 5 o 7 che, piegate sulle rispettive cordonature verticali 4 e 8, sormonteranno il fondo 1 lasciando all'esterno, nei quattro angoli, una porzione triangolare del medesimo. To obtain such a tray, in the relative punched cardboard (FIG. 1), having a conformation of symmetry with respect to the two orthogonal lines of the center, each of the four sides of the quadrangular bottom 1 is defined by a median section 2 or 9, extending as much as the adjacent side edge 3 or 10, as well as by the two cuts that separate the pair of fins 5 or 7 from the aforementioned bottom which, folded on the respective vertical creases 4 and 8, will surmount the bottom 1 leaving outside, in the four corners , a triangular portion of the same.

In tali piegamenti, ciascuna aletta 7 e' mantenuta nel giusto assetto dall'essere a ridosso di una delle quattro alette 5 avendo queste l'estremità' 6 sagomata per l'aggancio di una delle due sponde 10 in un'apposita apertura a cui accedere spingendo la relativa porzione 11 parzialmente intagliata. In these folds, each flap 7 is kept in the right position by being close to one of the four flaps 5, having the end 6 shaped for the attachment of one of the two sides 10 in a special opening to be accessed. pushing the relative portion 11 partially notched.

Le alette 7, piu' alte delle alette 5 e delle sponde 3, sostengono l'eventuale vassoio sovrapposto oppure il coperchio C in modo che tra questi e le sponde 3 resti uno spiraglio da cui fuoriesca il vapore acqueo. The fins 7, higher than the fins 5 and the sides 3, support the possible overlapping tray or the lid C so that between these and the sides 3 there remains a crack from which the water vapor escapes.

Inoltre, per conferire alle alette 7 la rigidità' necessaria, le onde del cartone vengono orientate durante la fustellatura come nella FIG. 1, per risultare poi verticali nelle alette suddette con l'ulteriore vantaggio di migliorare anche la rigidità' delle sponde 10 che assicurano l'allineamento verticale dei vassoi accatastati. Furthermore, to give the fins 7 the necessary rigidity, the waves of the cardboard are oriented during the die-cutting as in FIG. 1, to then be vertical in the aforesaid fins with the further advantage of also improving the rigidity of the sides 10 which ensure the vertical alignment of the stacked trays.

Il contenitore a scatola B delle FIGG. 2-4-6 e' realizzato in un unico pezzo fustellato, di cartone ondulato, comprendente anche il coperchio 29 quadrangolare come il fondo 12 sul quale si dispone in chiusura con due piegamenti di 90° lungo le linee di cordonatura 26 e 28 che definiscono la sponda posteriore 27 del contenitore. The box container B of FIGS. 2-4-6 is made in a single punched piece of corrugated cardboard, also comprising the quadrangular lid 29 like the bottom 12 on which it closes with two 90 ° folds along the creasing lines 26 and 28 which define the rear edge 27 of the container.

In ciascuno dei due lati del fondo 12 perpendicolari alla sponda posteriore, una linea di cordonatura 13 permette il sollevamento della sponda 14 dalla quale si protende, oltre la cordonatura 15 perpendicolare a 13, l'aletta 16 la cui estremità' 17, similmente a quanto già' descritto per il vassoio A, e' sagomata per l'aggancio della sponda anteriore 21, già' piegata nella cordonatura 20, in un'apposita apertura a cui accedere spingendo la relativa porzione 22 parzialmente intagliata. Con tali agganci, che vincolano il contenitore nella conformazióne d'impiego, ciascuna delle due alette 16 mantiene all'interno, piegata in 19, la corrispondente aletta 18, piu' alta della prima perche' il coperchio 29 possa poggiarvi formando, sopra le sponde laterali 14, uno spiraglio per la fuoriuscita del vapore acqueo. Durante la fustellatura del cartone ondulato, le onde vengono orientate come nella FIG. 2 perche' risultino verticali nelle sponde 27 e 21 nonché' nelle alette 18 con l'ulteriore vantaggio di risultare nel coperchio perpendicolari ai due bordi d’appoggio del medesimo. On each of the two sides of the bottom 12 perpendicular to the rear edge, a creasing line 13 allows the lifting of the side 14 from which the flap 16 extends beyond the creasing 15 perpendicular to 13, the end of which 17, similarly to what already described for the tray A, it is shaped for the attachment of the front edge 21, already folded in the creasing 20, in a suitable opening which can be accessed by pushing the relative partially cut portion 22. With these hooks, which constrain the container in the configuration of use, each of the two fins 16 keeps inside, folded in 19, the corresponding fin 18, higher than the first so that the lid 29 can rest on it forming, above the sides side 14, a crack for the escape of water vapor. During the punching of the corrugated cardboard, the waves are oriented as in FIG. 2 because they are vertical in the sides 27 and 21 as well as in the fins 18 with the further advantage of being perpendicular to the two supporting edges of the lid.

Inoltre, dal bordo superiore della sponda anteriore 21 si protende un'ala 24 ripiegabile grazie alle cordonature 23 ed al taglio centrale 25 in cui fermare la linguetta 31 che sporge dal bordo anteriore del coperchio 29 e piega nella cordonatura 30. Furthermore, a foldable wing 24 extends from the upper edge of the front edge 21 thanks to the creases 23 and the central cut 25 in which to stop the tab 31 which protrudes from the front edge of the lid 29 and folds into the crease 30.

E’ ovvio che, ferme restando le caratteristiche di massima illustrate e descritte, il presente modello industriale di utilità' può' essere suscettibile di ulteriori modifiche e varianti comunque comprese nel presente ambito brevettuale. It is obvious that, without prejudice to the general characteristics illustrated and described, this industrial utility model 'may' be susceptible to further modifications and variations, however included in this patent area.
