Description

TÍTULO DE LA INVENCIÓN CONTENEDOR PINZABLE PARA PRODUCTOS A CONSERVAR FRÍOS O TITLE OF THE INVENTION PINZABLE CONTAINER FOR PRODUCTS TO KEEP COLD OR
CONGELADOS SECTOR TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓNFROZEN TECHNICAL SECTOR OF THE INVENTION
El sector técnico es el de contenedores, envases de material elástico. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNThe technical sector is that of containers, containers of elastic material. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los contenedores para productos que deben de guardarse por razones de mantenimiento en las neveras y congeladores, están a la orden del día. El criterio de guardar los alimentos en porciones o dosis, o raciones personales es una constante.Containers for products that must be stored for maintenance reasons in refrigerators and freezers, are the order of the day. The criterion of storing food in portions or doses, or personal rations is a constant.
Se pueden considerar, en principio, dos tipologías, los desechables y los permanentes. En cualquier caso, el denominador común intenta serlo la salubridad. Esta queda más a salvo en los contenedores desechables con fecha de caducidad que en los permanentes, que precisan de una atención higiénica añadida y que al tener una tapadera de "quita y pon " se ven expuestos a la contaminación que les rodea y, en muchos casos, a las propias deficiencias sanitarias de los mismos productos a conservar.In principle, two typologies, disposable and permanent, can be considered. In any case, the common denominator tries to be the healthiness. This is more safe in disposable containers with an expiration date than in permanent ones, which require additional hygienic attention and that by having a "removable cover" they are exposed to the contamination that surrounds them and, in many cases, to the own sanitary deficiencies of the same products to conserve.
Es el caso de las aguas que con frecuencia son "minerales " y asépticas y, sin embargo, los cubos de hielo son de "agua de grifo".This is the case of waters that are often "mineral" and aseptic and, however, ice cubes are "tap water".
La maniobrabilidad de muchos contenedores es difícil. En las bandejas de hielos, sacar cuatro porciones sin que salgan las demás suele ser una labor incómoda. Tampoco está claro si hay que rellenar de agua los alveolos de una bandeja recién empezada o esperar a que se acabe. El transportar las bandejas contenedoras con productos líquidos, sin que estos se derramen, precisa de una especial atención y equilibrio. En otro muchos casos, resulta engorrosa la tapadera aThe maneuverability of many containers is difficult. In ice trays, removing four servings without leaving the others is usually an uncomfortable task. It is also not clear if the alveoli of a newly started tray must be filled with water or wait for it to end. Transporting the container trays with liquid products, without spilling them, requires special attention and balance. In many other cases, the cover is cumbersome to

"All these pejigueras" have induced us to establish improvements in the containers.
EXPLICACIÓN DEL INVENTOEXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
El invento parte de los contenedores individuales, con porciones para una o dos personas, y desechables. Se incorpora, como tantos otros, a "la geometría de paquetes ", la máxima ocupación del espacio que siempre tiene como últimas referencias ideales a los paralepípedos.The invention starts from individual containers, with portions for one or two people, and disposable. It is incorporated, like so many others, to "the geometry of packages", the maximum occupation of the space that always has as last ideal references to the parallelepipeds.
La característica que añade es el "configurar las bases con unas formas de cuña que se puedan pinzar con los dedos de la mano" y faciliten la expulsión del producto. En los modelos anteriores, para facilitar la expulsión se podía presionar, alabear y hasta azotar el contenedor boca abajo, pero no pinzarlo. Los cuerpos geométricos susceptible de servir como contenedores son todos aquellos con forma paralepipédica que se puedan dividir en celdas prismáticas y que unidos entre sí puedan formar paquetes.The characteristic added is the "configure the bases with wedge shapes that can be clamped with the fingers of the hand" and facilitate the expulsion of the product. In the previous models, to facilitate the expulsion one could press, warp and even whip the container upside down, but not pinch it. The geometric bodies capable of serving as containers are all those with a parallelepiped shape that can be divided into prismatic cells and that together can form packages.
La condición de que el contenedor se pueda pinzar, influye en todas las características técnicas del contenedor, a) la proporción manual y con ella, la manejabilidad, b) la posibilidad de hacer paquetes, integrando estos elementos, adosándolos y apilándose, c) la disposición para incorporar un cierre por termosellado, d) los espesores mínimos en busca de una economía, al ser desechables, e) una imagen renovadora que induzca a pensar que es un diseño con nueva prestaciones, etc.The condition that the container can be clamped influences all the technical characteristics of the container, a) the manual proportion and with it, the manageability, b) the possibility of making packages, integrating these elements, attaching and stacking them, c) the disposition to incorporate a heat seal, d) the minimum thicknesses in search of an economy, being disposable, e) a renovating image that leads one to think that it is a design with new features, etc.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTEPREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Como ejemplos, describiremos dos contenedores que parten de un cubo. En uno de ellos, las celdas son prismas de bases triangulares y en el otro, celdas cuadradas de bases rectangulares; pero ambas tienen la base inferior geométrica y físicamente dispuestas para el pinzamiento, con la característica de que cada celda tiene asignado un pinzamiento independiente. 1.- CUBO CON CELDAS PRISMÁTICAS DE BASES TRIANGULARES.As examples, we will describe two containers that start from a bucket. In one of them, the cells are prisms of triangular bases and in the other, square cells of rectangular bases; but both have the lower geometric base and physically arranged for clamping, with the characteristic that each cell is assigned an independent clamping. 1.- CUBE WITH PRISMATIC CELLS OF TRIANGULAR BASES.
El cubo se descompone en cuatro prismas iguales de bases triangulares. La base superior viene definida por los triángulos resultantes de dividir el cuadrado siguiendo sus diagonales. La base inferior está constituida por un plano inclinado, que es el que facilita el pinzado.The cube breaks down into four equal prisms of triangular bases. The upper base is defined by the triangles resulting from dividing the square following its diagonals. The lower base is constituted by an inclined plane, which facilitates clamping.
En su conjunto, el cubo tiene la base superior horizontal y la inferior, constituida por las caras triangulares de una pirámide de base cuadrada. En el interior quedan las paredes de los prismas comoAs a whole, the cube has the upper horizontal base and the lower one, consisting of the triangular faces of a square-based pyramid. Inside are the walls of the prisms as

2.- CUBO CON CELDAS PRISMÁTICAS DE BASES RECTANGULARES.2.- CUBE WITH PRISMATIC CELLS OF RECTANGULAR BASES.
El cubo se descompone en cuatro prismas de sección cuadrada, dividiendo la base superior en cuatro cuadrados idénticos. Los prismas, con sus caras internas paralelas, configuran los contenedores. La base inferior, que debe organizarse en cuñas, configura en este caso, un conjunto de cuatro rampas que por la condición del pinzamiento, giran como los brazos de una esvástica. (4, 5 y 6).The cube decomposes into four prisms of square section, dividing the upper base into four identical squares. The prisms, with their parallel internal faces, configure the containers. The lower base, which should be organized in wedges, configures in this case, a set of four ramps that, due to the grip condition, rotate like the arms of a swastika. (4, 5 and 6).
En los dos contenedores, la carga de los productos se haría por arriba y la cara física de la base superior sería la tapa, y en la tapa inferior, está el invento: las superficies pinzables correspondientes; una pinza por cada compartimento.In the two containers, the loading of the products would be made from above and the physical face of the upper base would be the lid, and in the lower lid, there is the invention: the corresponding clamp surfaces; One clamp for each compartment.

REIVINDICACIONES CONTENEDOR PINZABLE PARA PRODUCTOS A CONSERVAR FRÍOS O CONGELADOS, que se caracteriza por estar constituido, de partida, por cuerpos geométricos como los paralepípedos, preferentemente los cúbicos, que se dividen en celdas independientes que mantienen formas prismáticas. Los prismas que constituyen las celdas pueden ser de secciones diferentes, rectangulares o triangulares. La cara superior podrá ir cerrada por una tapadera de termosellado, porque las celdas en que se divide el volumen general (1 y 4), tienen como base un plano inclinado (3 y 6) independiente para cada una de ellas. La conjunción de estos planos conforma la base del cuerpo geométrico que contiene las celdas. Esta base puede constituir formas, como las caras triangulares de una pirámide cuadrada (2) u organizar una superficie plegada compuesta de triángulos y rectángulos. Dichas bases, al unirse con las caras verticales del cuerpo paralepipédico, lo hacen con ángulos agudos en forma de cuña, cuyas aristas se pueden apoyar en un plano horizontal. CLAIM CONTAINER CLAIMS FOR PRODUCTS TO KEEP COLD OR FROZEN, characterized by being constituted, initially, by geometric bodies such as parallelepipeds, preferably cubic ones, which are divided into independent cells that maintain prismatic shapes. The prisms that constitute the cells can be of different, rectangular or triangular sections. The upper face may be closed by a heat seal, because the cells in which the general volume (1 and 4) is divided, have as a base an independent inclined plane (3 and 6) for each of them. The conjunction of these planes forms the basis of the geometric body that contains the cells. This base can constitute shapes, such as the triangular faces of a square pyramid (2) or organize a folded surface composed of triangles and rectangles. These bases, when joining with the vertical faces of the parallepipédic body, do so with sharp wedge-shaped angles, whose edges can be supported on a horizontal plane.
El conjunto exterior del contenedor puede adquirir cualquier forma geométrica, preferentemente las que macizan el espacio y tienen caras verticales, como el cubo.The outer assembly of the container can acquire any geometric shape, preferably those that solidify the space and have vertical faces, such as the cube.
