Definitions
- a first foil member overlies one of the op- 229/51 229/87 F posite sidesi
- a second foil member overlies the other [51] Int.Cl ..B65d 85/74,B65d 85/76 of the opposite sides and at least one of the edge [58] Field of Search ..206/46 R, 46 F, 46 FM, faces-
- a third member Memes the 206/62, 56 AA; 229/87 R, 87 C, 87 F, 87 G, 51 R, 51 AS, 51 TS, 3.5 MF; 250/69, 68; 99/171 R, 184
- the second and third foil members are connected to one another.
- the present invention relates generally to packages, and more particularly to foil packages.
- the present invention relates to foil packages which are particularly suitable for the packaging of edibles.
- a foil package particularly for polygonal objects having two opposite sides and a plurality of edge faces which connect these sides, which package comprises a first foil member overlying one of the opposite sides, and a second foil member overlying the other of the opposite sides and at least one of the edge faces.
- a third foil-member overlies at least the other side and all of the edge faces and it is connected to the second foil member which it overlies also exteriorly thereof in surface-to-surface contact therewith.
- the first foil member is not connected with the second and third foil members and when the latter are removed in the manner still to be discussed, it can serve as a base or underlayment on which the now exposed object or article rests.
- the second foil member is provided with a gripping portion accessible to the fingers of a user and, when pull is exerted on this gripping portion, it will separate the second and third foil members from the first foil member and from the packaged article.
- the second foil member consists of a material which is more resistant to mechanical stresses than at least the third foil member.
- the second foil member may be of greater thickness than at least the third foil member.
- FIG. 1 is a vertical section through a cheese package embodying the invention
- FIG. 2 is a top-plan view of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a top-plan view of the blank of the tear foil prior to its use in constructing the package of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- reference designation K' identifies a cheese article of rectangular cross section.
- the upper surface of this article and if desired, the right-hand edge face thereof is covered by the cover foil 2.
- the lower surface of the cheese article K and also at least the right-hand edge face is covered by the tear foil 3 which overlies the cover foil 2 on the right-hand edge face if the latter is covered by the foil 2 and is provided with a gripping portion 3" which advantageously has a different visual appearance from the remainder of the package, for instance by being of a different color.
- the configuration of the tear foil 3 is shown in FIG. 3 where it will be seen as a blank prior to being used in the package of FIG. 1.
- a substantially cup-shaped foil member 1 which accommodates the article K with the foil members 2 and 3, in its interior, as illustrated.
- the upper marginal portions 1 of the member 1 are inwardly bent towards one another as illustrated and overlie the marginal portions of the cover foil 2.
- the portion 3 of the tear foil 3 overlies the marginal portion 2' with which the cover foil 2 is provided in this embodiment with the gripping portion 3" extending from below the inwardly bent marginal portion 1' of the foil member 1 so as to be accessible to the fingers of the user.
- the inwardly bent portions 1 provide for sealing of the package without requiring a connection with the cover foil 2.
- the tear foil 3 and the inside of the foil member 1, however, are in surface-to-surface contact and are connected to one another, for instance by a suitable adhe sive such as a thermoplastic material over part or over their entire surface area.
- a suitable adhe sive such as a thermoplastic material over part or over their entire surface area.
- the original packaging advantageously is carried out by inserting the foil member 3 into the foil member 1, introducing the article to be packaged, placing the cover foil 2 into position, bending over the marginal portions of the member 1 as well as the portion 3' of the member 3 to the position shown in FIG. 1, and effecting adhesive connection between the members 3 and 1, for instance by activating a thermoplastic material contained on or between their juxtaposed surfaces, by the application of heat or the like.
- the bent-over marginal portions 1 of the member 1 may be covered with wax, a plastic or the like to prevent entry of moisture or other contaminants between them and the surface of the cover foil 2.
- this is to be carried out purely for sealing purposes, if at all, and must not affect the ease of separation of the members 1 and 3 from the package and from the cover foil 2.
- the tear foil 3 may advantageously be of a material having greater mechanical strength than the foil member 1, or it may be of greater thickness for the same reason.
- a foil package particularly for articles which are to be protected against contact with the fingers of a user during opening of the package and with a support on which they may be placed after opening of the package, said articles having two opposite sides and a plurality of edge faces connecting said sides, and said package comprising a first foil member overlying one of said opposite sides; a discrete second foil member overlying the other of said opposite sides and at least one of said edge faces; a third foil member overlying said other side and said edge faces exteriorly of and in surface-tosurface contact with said second foil member, said third foil member comprising edge portions which overlie said first foil member at marginal portions of said one side; connecting means connecting said second and third foil members against undesired separation; and a gripping portion on said second foil member extending beyond said one edge face and the edge portion of said third foil member which overlies the marginal portion associated with said one edge face, said gripping portion overlying said first foil member so as to be accessible to the fingers of a user for exerting pull in a sense effecting separation of said second and third
- a foil package as defined in claim 1, said second foil member consisting of a material having a greater mechanical strength than that of said first and third foil members.
