Definitions

  • This invention pertains to a food package having a base and a transparent cover.
  • the food package has a sealing means for hermetically sealing the base to the transparent cover and a reclosable means encompassing the sealing means for snap locking at least 35% of the opening between the base and the transparent cover.
  • Food packages are employed for packing a variety of foodstuffs such as cheese, meat and the like.
  • the food package in order to be desirable must serve a multitude of functions.
  • One function is to have a transparent package so that the foodstuff is readily apparent and visible to the consumer who can select the most desirable and pleasing foodstuff to him.
  • the package must also protect the foodstuff contained therein. This protection encompasses a suitably durable package to withstand the minor jostling of food products as they are distributed and the food package must be hermetically sealed so that contamination of the food product is decreased and air and water are prevented from contacting the foodstuff while it is stored thus preserving the foodstuff.
  • US 3,904,074 discloses a container for wet wipers comprising a base member defining a cavity, a cover member cooperating with the base member so that separating the base member from the cover member provides an opening for installing and removing wet wipers from the cavity, sealing means for sealing the cavity and reclosable means for encompassing the sealing means and snap locking the periphery of said opening, said reclosable means comprising cooperating walls extending downwardly from the periphery of the cover member and the mouth of the base member respectively, said sealing means being a moisture-impervious sheet of, for example, aluminum foil, plastic materials, or laminates of paper, aluminum and plastic materials.
  • a food package comprising a food package comprising a base member having a cavity for holding foodstuff; a transparent cover member cooperating with the base member to form a cavity closure so that separating the base member from the cover member provides an opening for installing and removing foodstuff from the cavity; sealing means for sealing the cavity and reclosable means for encompassing the sealing means and snap locking at least 35% of the periphery of said opening, said reclosable means comprising cooperating walls extending downwardly from the periphery of said cover member and the mouth of said base member respectively, the mutually adjacent surfaces of said walls being slanted inwardly at a common angle of 86° with respect to the plane of the cover member, said sealing means comprising a thin polymeric film hermetically sealed to the mouth of the base member, the hermetic seal being visible through said transparent cover member.
  • the polymeric film is sealed to a pedestal which surrounds the mouth of the base member and is itself surrounded by said walls.
  • Food package 10 comprises a base 12 and a transparent cover 14.
  • Base 12 is comprised of a semi-rigid material and may be transparent, semi-transparent or opaque.
  • Base 12 contains a. cavity 16. Separating base 12 from cover 14 provides an opening 18 for inserting and removing foodstuff from cavity 16.
  • Base 12 and transparent cover 14 may be formed in any known manner from semi-rigid material such as plastics. Examples of suitable plastics materials for the cover 14 are a polyvinychloride, cellulose acetate, nylon, polycarbonate, polyester, acrylonitrile copolymers, coextruded plastics, etc.
  • the base 12 can also be formed from these plastics materials as well as high impact polystyrene, high impact polypropylene, or high impact polyethylene.
  • the base 12 may alternatively be formed of aluminum.
  • These plastics materials may be coated with saran or other coating if desired. Copolymers of these various plastics may be used in order to obtain desired properties.
  • the semi-rigid plastics are formed prior to receiving product.
  • the foodstuff packaged in cavity 16 may be small pieces or bits of foodstuff such as bacon bits which suitably would be enclosed in the package or may be slices or chunks of cheese or other meat foodstuff.
  • Base 12 may contain a header 20 which may be employed for imprinting of messages, trade names, distinctive colors and the like. Header 20 may also contain a hanging means such as hole 22.
  • a sealing means for hermetically sealing foodstuff within the package is employed.
  • a thin transparent polymeric material film 24 is hermetically sealed to base 12 at pedestal rim 26.
  • the sealing is by conventional means such as adhesives, heat, or radio frequency generation of heat.
  • transparent film 24 is hermetically sealed to a top surface 28 of base without employing a pedestal.
  • a known food package is shown in Figure 3 where the cover 14 is hermetically sealed directly to base 12 at pedestal 26 without using a thin transparent film.
  • the hermetical seal is readily seen and a broken seal is easily determined. While a broken seal is easily detected the seal can easily be removed by peeling the thin transparent film or lifting the cover as the case may be. Once the cover is lifted and the seal broken the contents are easily removed without contacting residual adhesive if used.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the food package of Figure 1 in the closed position.
  • Figure 6 is a top view of the closed food package shown in Figure 5 and
  • Figure 7 is a side view of the closed food package also shown in Figure 5.
  • a reclosable means for snap locking at least 35% and preferably 45% of opening between base 12 and cover 14 is employed.
  • the reclosable means encompasses the sealing means.
  • the reclosable means further comprises a cover engaging means 40 and a base engaging means 42.
  • Cover engaging means 40 and base engaging means 42 are constructed so that the two fit in locking relationship to one another when. base 12 is closed by cover 14.
  • the engaging means are constructed so that one will expand the other as the cover separated providing an unlocking effect of the engaging means permitting the opening of the cover.
  • the cover as it closes, also causes the engaging means to separate thus allowing the engaging means to re-engage and relock.
  • each engaging means has a slanted wall 46.
  • the slanted wall is slanted at an angle of about 86°.
  • at least one of the slanted walls has a slant surface 48 to engage the other slanted wall upon closing and thus causes the expansion of the engaging means permitting locking and unlocking.
  • slant surface 48 is part of the base engaging means.
  • At least 35% and preferably 45% of the opening 18 between cover 14 and 12 must contain a reclosable means.
  • at least one engaging means completely encompasses the opening and the other one either completely or partially encompasses the opening. If one engaging means only partially encompasses the opening, preferably it is divided into at least 3 and preferably 9 sections. This provides uniform distribution of a reclosable means.
  • the package illustrated in the figures is of rectangular shape but other package shapes are contemplated within the scope of this invention such as round oval, square and fanciful package shapes.
