RU61512U1 - CHOCOLATE TILES - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of food industry and, in particular, to the design of tiles made of chocolate. A chocolate bar made in the shape of a rectangle, including a set of sections divided by grooves, tile sections are made in the form of a combination of rectangular and isosceles triangles, while sections in the form of rectangular triangles are located so that their legs form the sides of the tile, and the sections in in the form of isosceles triangles are located between sections in the form of rectangular triangles; sections in the form of isosceles triangles can be provided with additional grooves parallel to the large sides of the tile. The result is the possibility of breaking off from a rectangular chocolate bar in one section along the dividing line between the sections.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of food industry and, in particular, to the design of tiles made of chocolate.

Various designs are known made of chocolate, for example, pieces of checkers, RU 19717 U1; half of the figures are made of light chocolate, the other of dark.

Known designs of chocolate products, which are a set of slices, each of which is a shell with a cavity that can be filled with filler. The slices are separated by grooves made to allow separation of the slices from the product, JP 2002000181.

Since the grooves are perpendicular to each other and to the sides of the tile, equal breaking of the segments from the tile one at a time is practically impossible.

Known chocolate bars made in the form of a rectangle, including a set of sections (segments), separated by grooves, US 4946696. This technical solution is taken as a prototype of this utility model. Sections have the shape of rectangles. Thus, the sections located at the corners of the tile border the tile in two mutually perpendicular grooves.

If necessary, separation from the tiles of one section carry out mechanical action on one of the corner sections. Usually separate

one section from such a tile fails, since the concentration of stresses causing breaking off of the section is complex. Separation of only one section in a known tile is practically impossible. In practice, either breaking off in a straight line of the entire series of sections placed at the end of the tile, or breaking off in an arbitrary line.

The objective of this utility model is to enable breaking off from a rectangular chocolate bar in one section along a section line between sections

According to a utility model in a chocolate bar made in the shape of a rectangle, including a set of sections divided by grooves, the tile sections are made in the form of a set of rectangular and isosceles triangles, while sections in the form of rectangular triangles are arranged so that their legs form the sides of the tile , and sections in the form of isosceles triangles are located between sections in the form of rectangular triangles; sections in the form of isosceles triangles can be provided with additional grooves parallel to the large sides of the tile.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated in the drawing, which shows:

figure 1 is a top view;

figure 2 - section aa in figure 1,

The chocolate bar 1 is in the shape of a rectangle. The tile includes a set of sections separated by grooves 2. Grooves 2 have a depth of 1.5-3 mm and are stress concentrators arising from bending during breaking off of individual sections. Sections 3 of tile 1 are made in the form of a set of right-angled triangles, sections 4 of tile 1 are made in the form of a set of isosceles triangles. Sections 3 are arranged so that their legs 5 form the sides of the tile. Sections 4 are placed in a tile between sections 3, that is, they occupy the rest of the space. Sections 4 can be provided with additional grooves 6 (shown by the dotted line in Fig. 1) parallel to the large sides of the tile 1. These grooves have a shallower depth (1-1.5 mm) and, if they are performed, serve to divide sections 4 into two halves.

If necessary, the separation of one section from the tile begins with the corner section 3. To do this, click on the tile 1, bending relative to the groove along the border of the corner section 3 with tile 1. Since the dividing line is a segment of a straight line, the corner section 3 breaks off exactly, strictly according to this line. In this case, only one section breaks off. Another angular section 3 is also broken off. Next, section 4 can be broken off in the same way as the angular section 3. If section 4 according to claim 2 of the formula is made with an additional groove 6, then, since the grooves 6 have a smaller depth and width than the grooves 2, delimiting section 4 from the tile, the section breaks off along the line of the groove 2.

Then, the section 4 separated from the tile can be divided into two halves along the line of the groove 6.

This technical solution, unlike the prototype, provides a fairly uniform stress concentration in a straight line, and not in mutually perpendicular grooves, as is the case with tiles with rectangular sections.

The result is breaking off in one section only along the grooves separating the sections, and the nature of the fracture surface is even, the fracture line in no case passes through the section.
