Descrizione del Modello di Utilità avente per titolo: Description of the Utility Model entitled:
“Contenitore modulare, in particolare per gelati” "Modular container, especially for ice cream"
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Il presente trovato si riferisce ad un contenitore modulare, atto in particolare a contenere gelati. The present invention relates to a modular container, adapted in particular to contain ice creams.
Sono noti nella tecnica vari tipi di contenitori per il trasporto, anche di gelati, suddivisi in scomparti per mantenere separato il contenuto. Various types of transport containers are known in the art, including ice cream, divided into compartments to keep the contents separate.
Nel campo dei contenitori per gelati da consumazione da parte dell'utente finale, invece, fino ad oggi nessuna iniziativa ha mai difeso la vera purezza del gelato artigianale al momento della sua degustazione. Da sempre, infatti, il gelato artigianale è servito in modo da non esaltarne il gusto originale. In the field of ice cream containers for consumption by the end user, however, up to now no initiative has ever defended the true purity of artisanal ice cream at the time of its tasting. In fact, artisanal ice cream has always been served in such a way as not to enhance its original taste.
Fornito all'utente finale in un cono o una coppetta, il gelato viene sempre offerto così da mischiare e "sporcare" i gusti, specialmente alla fine della consumazione del gelato stesso. Provided to the end user in a cone or cup, the ice cream is always offered so as to mix and "dirty" the flavors, especially at the end of the ice cream consumption.
Inoltre, non sono previsti contenitori modulari che possono essere creati e adattati immediatamente al quantitativo di prodotto da consumare. Furthermore, there are no modular containers that can be created and immediately adapted to the quantity of product to be consumed.
Scopo del presente trovato è quello di risolvere i suddetti problemi della tecnica anteriore, prevedendo un contenitore modulare, in particolare per gelati, che consenta di fornire all'utente finale gelati separati nei vari gusti. The object of the present invention is to solve the aforesaid problems of the prior art, by providing a modular container, in particular for ice creams, which allows to supply the end user with separate ice creams in the various flavors.
Un ulteriore scopo del presente trovato è quello di fornire un contenitore come sopra indicato che sia modulare, cioè possa essere realizzato componendo due o più porzioni separate, in modo da adattare il contenitore alla quantità e alle tipologie di prodotti (gelati) forniti. A further object of the present invention is to provide a container as indicated above which is modular, ie it can be made by composing two or more separate portions, so as to adapt the container to the quantity and types of products (ice creams) supplied.
Tramite il presente trovato che consente di separare tra loro i gusti, il consumatore può non solo apprezzare, inizialmente, le caratteristiche di ogni singola porzione, ma anche, in una fase successiva, farsi guidare in diversi abbinamenti e gustare un'armonia di sapori non mischiati fra loro bensì "affiancati" in modo da esaltarsi l'uno con l'altro. By means of the present invention, which allows the tastes to be separated from each other, the consumer can not only initially appreciate the characteristics of each individual portion, but also, at a later stage, be guided in different combinations and enjoy a harmony of flavors that are not mixed together but "side by side" so as to exalt each other.
I suddetti ed altri scopi e vantaggi del trovato, quali risulteranno dal seguito della descrizione, vengono raggiunti con un contenitore modulare come quello descritto nella rivendicazione 1. Forme di realizzazione preferite e varianti non banali del presente trovato formano l’oggetto delle rivendicazioni dipendenti. The aforementioned and other purposes and advantages of the invention, which will emerge from the following description, are achieved with a modular container such as the one described in claim 1. Preferred embodiments and non-trivial variants of the present invention form the subject of the dependent claims.
Il presente trovato verrà meglio descritto da alcune forme preferite di realizzazione, fornite a titolo esemplificativo e non limitativo, con riferimento ai disegni allegati, nei quali: The present invention will be better described by some preferred embodiments, provided by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
- la Figura 1 è una vista in prospettiva di una possibile realizzazione di un contenitore a due scomparti secondo il presente trovato; Figure 1 is a perspective view of a possible embodiment of a container with two compartments according to the present invention;
- la Figura 2 è una vista in prospettiva di una seconda possibile realizzazione di un contenitore a quattro scomparti secondo il presente trovato; Figure 2 is a perspective view of a second possible embodiment of a container with four compartments according to the present invention;
- la Figura 3 è una vista dall'alto del contenitore di Fig. 2; e Figure 3 is a top view of the container of Fig. 2; And
- la Figura 4 è una vista laterale del contenitore di Fig. 2 che illustra alcune alternative dei mezzi di aggancio dei vari scomparti. Figure 4 is a side view of the container of Fig. 2 illustrating some alternatives of the coupling means of the various compartments.
Facendo riferimento alle Figure, è illustrata e descritta una forma di realizzazione preferita del contenitore modulare del presente trovato. With reference to the Figures, a preferred embodiment of the modular container of the present invention is illustrated and described.
Risulterà immediatamente ovvio che si potranno apportare al contenitore descritto innumerevoli varianti e modifiche (per esempio relative a forma, dimensioni e parti con funzionalità equivalenti) senza discostarsi dal campo di protezione del trovato come appare dalle rivendicazioni allegate. It will be immediately obvious that innumerable variations and modifications (for example relating to shape, dimensions and parts with equivalent functionality) can be made to the described container without departing from the scope of the invention as appears from the attached claims.
Il contenitore modulare 1 del presente trovato è adatto a contenere prodotti in generale, ma è applicabile in particolare e in modo preferibile al campo dei gelati: esso comprende almeno due scomparti 2 tra loro separati atti a contenere prodotti di tipi e quantità diversi. The modular container 1 of the present invention is suitable for containing products in general, but is applicable in particular and preferably to the field of ice creams: it comprises at least two compartments 2 separated from each other suitable for containing products of different types and quantities.
Inoltre, tali scomparti 2 possono essere uniti tra loro in modo staccabile: in particolare, la Figura 1 illustra un esempio di contenitore 1 in cui gli scomparti 2 sono uniti tra loro in modo inamovibile, mentre le Figure 2 e 3 illustrano la presenza di scomparti 2 tra loro staccabili (e/o riattaccabili, come sarà descritto più avanti). Furthermore, these compartments 2 can be joined together in a detachable way: in particular, Figure 1 illustrates an example of container 1 in which the compartments 2 are joined together in an immovable way, while Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the presence of compartments 2 detachable from each other (and / or re-attachable, as will be described later).
Al fine di realizzare la caratteristica della staccabilità, gli scomparti 2 sono uniti tra loro lungo almeno un lato realizzato in materiale frangibile, oppure almeno un lato dotato di tacche di indebolimento 3 atte a consentire la rottura del lato di unione tra i vari scomparti 2. In order to achieve the detachability feature, the compartments 2 are joined together along at least one side made of breakable material, or at least one side provided with weakening notches 3 designed to allow the breakage of the joining side between the various compartments 2.
Per aumentare la modularità del contenitore inventivo, gli scomparti 2 possono essere inoltre atti ad essere riuniti tra loro dopo essere stati staccati, in modo da realizzare svariate configurazioni finali a seconda delle applicazioni. To increase the modularity of the inventive container, the compartments 2 can also be adapted to be joined together after being detached, so as to achieve various final configurations according to the applications.
A questo proposito, gli scomparti 2 sono dotati di mezzi di aggancio 5, 7, 9, atti ad agganciare e tenere uniti gli scomparti 2 stessi tra loro. In this regard, the compartments 2 are equipped with coupling means 5, 7, 9, suitable for hooking and keeping the compartments 2 themselves joined together.
Ad esempio, ma assolutamente non in modo limitativo, tali mezzi di aggancio 5, 7, 9, possono essere costituiti da strisce di velcro 5, due delle quali sono illustrate in Figura 4 in forme diverse (trapezoidali, allungate, ecc.). For example, but absolutely not in a limiting way, these hooking means 5, 7, 9 can consist of Velcro strips 5, two of which are shown in Figure 4 in different shapes (trapezoidal, elongated, etc.).
Come una delle molte alternative possibili, i mezzi di aggancio 5, 7, 9, possono essere invece costituiti da almeno un anello 7 su uno scomparto 2, atto ad impegnare almeno un gancio 9 corrispondente posto su un altro scomparto 2. As one of the many possible alternatives, the hooking means 5, 7, 9 can instead be constituted by at least one ring 7 on a compartment 2, able to engage at least a corresponding hook 9 placed on another compartment 2.
Nella configurazione illustrata, quindi, gli scomparti 2 sono disposti uniti lungo una linea retta, in un numero pari a due (Fig. 1) o quattro (Fig. 2 - 4): è ovvio che si possono adottare altre configurazioni di unione degli scomparti 2, utilizzando un numero di scomparti 2 a piacere. In the illustrated configuration, therefore, the compartments 2 are arranged together along a straight line, in a number equal to two (Fig. 1) or four (Fig. 2 - 4): it is obvious that other configurations for joining the compartments can be adopted 2, using any number of compartments 2.
Ancora come illustrato, gli scomparti 2 sono realizzati a forma di vaschette atte a contenere gelato. Secondo la comune prassi, anch'essa non limitativa, le vaschette possono avere una capacità di 75 cc l'una (ad esempio nella configurazione di Fig. 1), oppure di 45 cc l'una (ad esempio nella configurazione delle Fig. da 2 a 4). Again as illustrated, the compartments 2 are made in the shape of trays suitable for containing ice cream. According to the common practice, which is also not limiting, the trays can have a capacity of 75 cc each (for example in the configuration of Fig. 1), or of 45 cc each (for example in the configuration of Figs. 2 to 4).
Sono state illustrate e descritte in precedenza alcune forme di realizzazione preferite del presente trovato: ovviamente, agli esperti nel ramo risulteranno immediatamente evidenti numerose varianti e modifiche, funzionalmente equivalenti alle precedenti, che ricadono nel campo di protezione del trovato come evidenziato nelle rivendicazioni allegate. Some preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described above: obviously, numerous variants and modifications, functionally equivalent to the previous ones, which fall within the scope of protection of the invention, will be immediately apparent to those skilled in the art, as shown in the attached claims.
