Detailed description of the invention
In the following description, identical reference represents identical element.
Described below based on embodiment of the present invention and be understood not to replace for not explicitly described herein The present invention is limited for property embodiment.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram (not drawn on scale) of the axonometric chart of deployable container 2.
Container 2 includes top section 4, base section 6 and mid portion 8.Mid portion 8 is arranged on top Divide between 4 and base section 6.Mid portion 8 has bellows-type structure and can be such as bellows or concertina Launch foldedly or compress.In other words, mid portion 8 deployable (i.e. can extend) and compression.
Container 2 usually cylinder form.Container 2 is made up of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE).Container 2 can To use any suitable method (such as blow molding) to make.Container can be transparent, translucent or opaque.
Fig. 1 shows the container 2 under its fully unfolded position.
(can be enough to overcome the resistance of mid portion 8 by applying compression stress, i.e. be enough to overcome mid portion 8 Restoring force) top section 4 and base section 6 are moved together so that container 2 is from its fully deployed shape State is changing into complete compressive state.
In the compression process of container 2, i.e. at container 2 from its its fully unfolded position to its complete compressive state In change procedure, the volume of container 2 reduces, i.e. the cavity of container 2 becomes less.Therefore, air is by opening Mouth 10 is forced off container 2.
When container 2 has been compressed into its compressive state and removed container 2 is compressed into its compressive state During compression stress, the elasticity of mid portion 8 makes container 2 automatically launch to return its its fully unfolded position.Change speech It, mid portion 8 has enough elasticity thus without being auxiliarily back to its initial condition (i.e. deployed condition). Therefore, mid portion 8 is the elastic sidewall of container 2.
During the expansion of container 2, i.e. it is back to its its fully unfolded position (due to mid portion 8 at container 2 Elasticity) during, the volume of container 2 increases, i.e. the cavity of container 2 becomes much larger.Therefore, air Container 2 is sucked by opening 10.
Top section 4 forms the top of container 2.Top section 4 includes opening 10, can pass through described opening Food is inserted container 2 or takes out from container 2 by 10.

Threaded portion 12 connects with opening 10.Flange 14 is radially dashed forward from the vertical surface of top section 4 Go out.Flange 14 is circumferentially continuous around top section 4.
Base section 6 forms the bottom (i.e. closing end) of container 2.Base section 6 is the most deployable also can not Compression (relative to mid portion 8).
Mid portion 8 includes multiple conical ring 16.Each conical ring 16 has the frustoconical shape of cone. Each conical ring 16 has relatively large diameter an end, has relatively small at opposite end Diameter.
In mid portion 8, conical ring 16 is arranged as follows.At the top of mid portion 8, conical ring 16 The end having considerable larger diameter at this conical ring 16 is attached to top section 4.Same, at pars intermedia Dividing at the bottom of 8, conical ring 16 is attached to bottom in the end that this conical ring 16 has considerable larger diameter Part 4.Multiple conical ring 16 phase ground connection are arranged on the conical ring 16 at the top of mid portion 8 and mid portion Between conical ring 16 at the bottom of 8.This makes the end attachment with relatively large diameter of conical ring 16 The end with relatively large diameter to adjacent conical ring 16.Same, this makes the tool of conical ring 16 The end having relatively small diameter is attached to the end with relatively small diameter of adjacent conical ring 16.
In other words, mid portion 8 includes the bellows-type structure formed by a series of conical ring 16 connected.
Under the effect of the compression stress that top section 4 and base section 6 are moved together, the tool of conical ring 16 The end having relatively large diameter moves close to together.Similarly, conical ring 16 have relatively small The end of diameter moves close to together.When removing this compression stress, the elastic force of mid portion 8 makes taper Separation is moved in the end with relatively large diameter of ring 16.Similarly, conical ring 16 has relatively Separation (i.e. mid portion is back to its original deployed condition) is moved in the end of little diameter.

In food aquation (such as rehydration) after edible, the food of scheduled volume the volume occupied is more than The container 2 volume under its complete compressive state.
In step s7, the opening 10 of container 2 applies gastight seal.
In this embodiment, gastight seal is applied by sealing unit (not shown).Same, In this embodiment, gastight seal is made up of co-extrusion paper delivery or polyethylene film.Use hot radical Method for bonding will Gastight seal applies to opening, and a part for sealing member is connect by described hot radical Method for bonding by applying heat It is bonded to container edge.In other embodiments, different types of gastight seal (such as aluminium foil) is used. Same, in other embodiments, use the distinct methods (such as glued) that sealing member is adhered to container 2.
The gastight seal applied in step s7 stops air to enter container 2 (by opening 10).Due to Stop air to enter container 2, prevent container 2 to be back to its its fully unfolded position.In other words, close when air-tightness When sealing applies to opening 10, applied the compression stress to container 2, mid portion 8 if removed by guide rail 22 Elasticity can attempt to make container 2 be back to its original (expansion) state.This is by relative to the sky outside container 2 Atmospheric pressure reduces the air pressure within container 2.This relatively high air pressure outside container 2 will make container 2 Keep in its compressed state.
In step s8, rigidity plastics lid is screwed on the threaded portion 12 of container 2.Therefore, bag is formed Packaging containing food.
Figure 10 is the schematic diagram (not drawn on scale) of the expanded view of the packaging comprising food 28.
This packaging includes container 2 (in its compressed state), gastight seal 30 and lid 32.
Food 28 is placed in the inside of compression container 2, the i.e. inside of container 2 cavity in its compressed state.
Gastight seal 30 seals the opening 10 of container 2, is therefore kept in its compressed state by container 2. As long as gastight seal 30 keeps complete, container 2 then keeps in its compressed state, i.e. stop air via Opening 10 enters container 2.
Lid 32 includes female thread portion (not shown).Lid 32 is screwed in the threaded portion of compression container 2 On 12.Lid 32 advantageously tends to avoid gastight seal 30 damaged or damage.Especially, lid 32 Tend to stop gastight seal 30 undesirably to allow air into container 2 and (and therefore allow container 2 It is back to its deployed condition).
In this embodiment, lid 32 farther includes the multiple spines 34 around its circumference.These spines 34 advantageously tend to be easy to consumer grasps lid 32 thus helps to remove lid 32 from container 2.But, In other embodiments, lid 32 does not include that described spine, i.e. lid 32 are smooth.
Lid 32 provides the further airtight sealing of container 2.Therefore, it can remove lid 32 or airtight Property sealing member 30 any one and container 2 still remain under its complete compressive state (because airtight sealing The another one of part 30 or lid 32 keeps the complete expansion therefore stoping container 2).
In step s10, remove the packaging comprising food 28 for being delivered to consumer from filling device.Due to Gastight seal 30 stops air to pass through opening 10 to enter container 2, and packaging is maintained under its complete compressive state.
Before being transported to consumer, packaging can such as be coated with ornamental sleeve, and this dicoration sleeve can To include such as operation instruction, nutritional information etc..
It thus provides the method for (using container 2) packaged food 28.
Figure 11 can use some of the illustrative methods of the food 28 provided in packaging and packaging for display consumer The method flow diagram of step.
In step s20, consumer removes lid 32 by screwing from container 2.
In step s22, consumer removes gastight seal 30 from container 2.
In step s24, container 2 is back to its original expansion shape.
Especially, the elastic of mid portion 8 causes mid portion 8 to launch (to make top and base section 4,6 move Dynamic separation).This spreads across opening 10 (removing sealing member 30 from opening 10) by air from container Portion sucks container 2.Mid portion 8 launches until container 2 is under its original its fully unfolded position.
In step s26, consumer adds the hot liquid of scheduled volume in container 2.
The hot liquid of scheduled volume is the amount that be enough to make food 28 aquation.Can be consumer in any suitable manner Indicate the hot liquid of scheduled volume, such as, by the labelling on the surface of container 2, the stand-by hot liquid of container 2 is filled out It is charged to this labelling (i.e. " fill level " labelling).
Therefore, in step s26, food 28 is aquation and heating in container 2.
In this embodiment, after by the liquid aquation of (further) scheduled volume, by the food of scheduled volume 28 volumes occupied are less than or equal to the container 2 volume under its its fully unfolded position.
Additionally, in this embodiment, after by the liquid aquation of (further) scheduled volume, by scheduled volume The volume that occupies of food 28 more than the container 2 volume under its complete compressive state.
In step s26, spiral lid 32 can be returned to stand on container 2 and by food 28 by consumer (i.e. " cooking ") certain period of time.Putting back to of lid 32 is advantageously tended to avoid heating and the food of aquation 28 overflow in cooking process, and also tend to the food 28 avoiding heating and aquation supercooled before edible But.
In step s28, content (i.e. aquation and the food of heating of consumer's food container 2 from container 2 28)。
Container 2 advantageously provides vessel, can be eaten the food 28 of aquation by described vessel.
It thus provides the method that consumer uses.
The container being made up of LDPE advantageously tends to so that container is sufficiently flexible thus allow relatively simple pressure Contracting (from its fully unfolded position to complete compressive state).Same, the container being made up of LDPE advantageously inclines To in making container sufficiently resilient, therefore when removing compression stress from container, the mid portion of container makes container from pressure Contracting state is back to its original deployed condition.
Advantageously, wall of a container thickness makes container sufficiently flexible thus allows relatively simple compression (from completely Deployed condition is to complete compressive state).Same, wall of a container thickness advantageously makes container sufficiently resilient, Therefore when removing compression stress from container, the mid portion of container makes container be back to its original expansion from compressive state State.Preferably, the wall thickness of container 2 is 0.75mm and 1.5mm.
Container is advantageously callable.
Container is advantageously reusable.Such as, after edible food, container can recompress With refill, and apply gastight seal (such as spiral lid) again.The gastight seal applied again Stop air to enter container, therefore retain the container under its compression (compression the most completely) state.
Preferably, container height (i.e. comprising the height of the packaging of food) under its complete compressive state is less than Or equal to 45mm.This advantageously makes the packaging in the vertical direction comprising food be joint space-efficient.Therefore, Such as, comprise the packaging of food tend to commercial aircraft on for food being distributed the food service tray phase to client Hold.This aircraft food service tray does not the most comprise the height packaging for foodstuff more than 45mm.It is to say, food Pallet can the most easily be deposited.
Compared to container volume under its its fully unfolded position (the i.e. body of container when consumer's edible food Long-pending), (packaging i.e. comprising food is carried/is transported to consumer container volume under its complete compressive state Time volume) relatively small.Therefore, before edible, packaging tends to relatively to save space and compact.Change Yan Zhi, tends to advantageously reduce for storing and/or transport the space requirement of the packaging comprising food.
Additionally, under compression, the packaging comprising food is tended to such as the most portable by consumer.Cause This, the packaging comprising food easily can be taken to such as job site etc. by consumer.
The container with deployed condition advantageously makes the sufficiently large vessel to comprise hydrated food prod be supplied to consumption Person.Therefore, consumer advantageously can use container thus eat the food of aquation from container.
The airtight sealing provided by gastight seal 30 and lid 32 advantageously makes food by consumer Eat and keep the freshest (and not polluting) before.
Filling device described above advantageously tends to provide continuous print production line.This tends to effectively produce Method.
Container volume under its deployed condition can advantageously make the food of aquation and heating less than pars intermedia Point.In this case, the inextensible top section of container is advantageously such region: consumer can To grasp container without not feeling well due to the heat of the food of aquation and heating.
