- This container ensures the hygienic nature of the handling for releasing liquid foods.
- the tearing of the lid lid is in fact achieved without prior opening of the lid by the user.
- the user To release the liquid foods, the user must simply first remove the container lid, then induce a rotation of the lid relative to the bowl away from the initial relative angular position to break the lid and release liquid food.
- the cover comprises, according to its outer face, at least one gripping housing, allowing the engagement of hand parts of a user.
- such a configuration allows the user to position fingers in said at least one housing provided for this purpose in order to helping to grip the lid to perform the rotation required to penetrate the tearing means in the lower lid opening and thus break the lid lid.
- the lid wall is continuous and sealed.
- the user can simply shake the closed container by the lid, to mix its contents without the risk of letting out food. Then simply remove the lid to access the foods to eat, and eventually close the lid to continue the conservation of food not consumed.
- the protective cover allows to recreate a seal to allow the mixing of food bowl with those of the lid without projections outside the container, and to close the container to continue the preservation of food after a first opening of the container.
- the container is made by thermoforming.
- Thermoforming provides a low cost container.
- the container is made by thermoforming a tricouche complex PP / EVOH / PP.
- the container lid is flat, continuous and non-circular unlike the prior art. It is easier to glue or seal, and easier and less expensive than circular ring lids.
- the user To release liquid foods, the user must simply perform two simple operations for which he does not need to be in direct contact with food. Just remove the container lid and induce a rotation of the lid relative to the bowl to break the lid and release liquid food. The user only has to shake the contents of the container to mix before consuming.

Description
La présente invention concerne les conteneurs pour aliments. Elle s'applique notamment aux préparations alimentaires à base d'aliments solides à mélanger avec des aliments liquides, du type salade et sauce.The present invention relates to food containers. It is particularly applicable to food preparations based on solid foods to be mixed with liquid foods, such as salad and sauce.
Plusieurs types de conteneurs sont déjà connus.Several types of containers are already known.
Un premier type de conteneur comprend un bol ayant un fond de bol, une paroi périphérique délimitant une cavité de bol, et un trottoir périphérique supérieur bordant la paroi périphérique de bol, apte à être operculé.A first type of container comprises a bowl having a bowl bottom, a peripheral wall defining a bowl cavity, and an upper peripheral sidewalk bordering the peripheral bowl wall, able to be sealed.
Un tel conteneur est adapté pour contenir des aliments solides et une dose pour contenir des aliments liquides du type sauce à salade. La dose de liquide est habituellement contenue dans un sachet positionné directement au milieu des aliments solides. Aux fins de conservation des aliments contenus, le bol est fermé de façon étanche par un opercule scellé ou collé sur le trottoir périphérique supérieur.Such a container is adapted to contain solid foods and a dose to contain liquid foods such as salad dressing. The dose of liquid is usually contained in a pouch positioned directly in the middle of solid foods. For the purpose of preserving the contained food, the bowl is sealed with a seal sealed or glued to the upper peripheral sidewalk.
Ce type de conteneur présente plusieurs inconvénients. Tout d'abord, il n'est pas agréable, ni hygiénique pour un utilisateur de plonger ses doigts dans les aliments solides à la recherche de la dose d'aliments liquides. De plus, ce type de conteneur ne comprend aucun moyen permettant de mélanger proprement les aliments liquides et solides sans en mettre partout.This type of container has several disadvantages. First of all, it is not pleasant nor hygienic for a user to dive his fingers into solid foods in search of the liquid food dose. In addition, this type of container does not include any means for properly mixing liquid and solid food without putting it everywhere.
Pour consommer les aliments contenus dans le conteneur, un utilisateur doit tout d'abord ôter l'opercule, trouver la dose de liquide, libérer le liquide de la dose en déchirant manuellement le sachet, vider le liquide sur les aliments solides, et mélanger le tout à l'aide de couverts. Il est habituel que de la sauce soit projetée à l'extérieur du conteneur lors du mélange.To consume the food contained in the container, a user must first remove the lid, find the dose of liquid, release the liquid dose by manually tearing the bag, empty the liquid on solid food, and mix the all using cutlery. It is usual for sauce to be sprayed outside the container during mixing.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, un second type de conteneur a été développé, dans lequel un couvercle est associé au premier type de conteneur.To remedy this drawback, a second type of container has been developed in which a lid is associated with the first type of container.
Un tel couvercle est conformé pour s'adapter sur le conteneur de premier type. Ainsi, pour déguster les aliments contenus dans le conteneur, un utilisateur doit ôter le couvercle, décoller l'opercule, déchirer le sachet pour libérer le liquide sur les aliments solides. L'utilisateur peut ensuite positionner à nouveau le couvercle sur le bol et agiter la préparation alimentaire pour mélanger les aliments solides et liquides. Il convient ensuite d'enlever une nouvelle fois le couvercle pour que l'utilisateur puisse consommer les aliments mélangés.Such a cover is shaped to fit on the container of the first type. Thus, to taste the food contained in the container, a user must remove the lid, take off the lid, tear the bag to release the liquid on solid foods. The user can then reposition the lid on the bowl and shake the food preparation to mix solid and liquid foods. It is then necessary to remove the lid again so that the user can eat the mixed food.
Un tel type de conteneur remédie à la difficulté du mélange du premier type de conteneur, mais conserve l'inconvénient du nombre important de manipulations à effectuer préalablement au mélange, notamment pour libérer les aliments liquides, et l'inconvénient du caractère désagréable et non hygiénique de la recherche manuelle de la dose de liquide.Such a type of container overcomes the difficulty of mixing the first type of container, but retains the disadvantage of the large number of manipulations to be performed prior to mixing, in particular to release liquid foods, and the disadvantage of unpleasantness and unhygienic the manual search for the liquid dose.
Un troisième type de conteneur est décrit dans le document
- un bol ayant :
- un fond de bol et une paroi périphérique de bol délimitant une cavité de bol à ouverture supérieure selon un plan de bol,
- un trottoir périphérique supérieur contenu dans le plan de bol et bordant la paroi périphérique de bol en se développant jusqu'à un bord de trottoir,
- un couvercle, ayant :
- un rebord périphérique apte à reposer sur le trottoir périphérique supérieur pour guider la rotation du couvercle sur le bol autour d'un axe de rotation perpendiculaire au plan de bol,
- une face supérieure de couvercle qui, en zone centrale, fait saillie au-dessus du rebord périphérique,
- une cavité de couvercle, ayant une ouverture inférieure de couvercle bordée d'une bordure inférieure de couvercle plane et contenue dans un plan incliné par rapport au plan de bol en position assemblée, pouvant être obturée par un opercule de couvercle,
- des moyens de déchirement, solidaires du bol, positionnés sur un épaulement décentré à l'intérieur du bol et agencés pour être à l'écart de l'ouverture inférieure de couvercle dans au moins une position angulaire relative du couvercle par rapport au bol, et pour venir pénétrer dans l'ouverture inférieure de couvercle lors de la rotation du couvercle sur le bol. La zone centrale de couvercle qui fait saillie au-dessus du rebord périphérique, permet la préhension du couvercle pour son soulèvement et/ou sa rotation.
- a bowl having:
- a bowl bottom and a bowl peripheral wall defining an upper opening bowl cavity in a bowl plane;
- an upper peripheral sidewalk contained in the bowl plane and bordering the peripheral bowl wall while developing to a sidewalk edge,
- a lid, having:
- a peripheral rim adapted to rest on the upper peripheral sidewalk to guide the rotation of the lid on the bowl about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the bowl plane,
- an upper cover face which, in a central zone, protrudes above the peripheral rim,
- a lid cavity, having a bottom lid opening bordered by a flat lid bottom edge and contained in a plane inclined with respect to the bowl plane in the assembled position, closable by a lid cap,
- tearing means, integral with the bowl, positioned on a shoulder eccentric inside the bowl and arranged to be away from the lower lid opening in at least one relative angular position of the lid relative to the bowl, and to come into the lower lid opening when rotating the lid on the bowl. The central area of the cover which protrudes above the peripheral rim, allows the gripping of the lid for its lifting and / or rotation.
Pour assurer une conservation suffisante des aliments avant ouverture, un tel conteneur peut être obturé par un opercule d'inviolabilité, en forme de couronne circulaire, soudé sur le trottoir périphérique supérieur du bol et sur le rebord périphérique du couvercle. La conservation du liquide contenu dans le couvercle est assurée par l'opercule de couvercle.To ensure sufficient preservation of food before opening, such a container can be closed by a seal of inviolability, shaped circular ring, welded to the upper peripheral sidewalk of the bowl and on the peripheral rim of the lid. The liquid contained in the lid is preserved by the cover lid.
Cependant, une telle obturation du conteneur est peu fiable, à cause de la forme en couronne circulaire de l'opercule d'inviolabilité. En outre, la réalisation et la soudure d'un opercule d'inviolabilité en forme de couronne circulaire sont des opérations inhabituelles, complexes et onéreuses, nécessitant de concevoir et d'utiliser des machines spéciales tant pour la réalisation de l'opercule que pour sa soudure.However, such closure of the container is unreliable, because of the circular crown shape of the tamper-evident seal. In addition, the production and welding of a seal of inviolability in the shape of a circular crown are unusual, complex and expensive operations, requiring the design and use of special machines both for producing the lid and for its welding.
Le problème proposé par la présente invention est de concevoir un conteneur permettant de contenir et conserver séparément et de façon optimale des aliments avant ouverture, par une étanchéité de fermeture maîtrisée, fiable et peu onéreuse.The problem proposed by the present invention is to design a container for containing and preserving separately and optimally food before opening, by a closure seal controlled, reliable and inexpensive.
Pour atteindre ces buts ainsi que d'autres, l'invention propose, selon un premier aspect, un conteneur pour aliments, comprenant :
- un bol ayant :
- un fond de bol et une paroi périphérique de bol délimitant une cavité de bol à ouverture supérieure selon un plan supérieur de bol,
- un trottoir périphérique supérieur contenu dans le plan supérieur de bol et bordant la paroi périphérique de bol en se développant jusqu'à un bord de trottoir,
- des moyens périphériques de guidage de couvercle en rotation,
- un couvercle, ayant dans sa paroi :
- une portion périphérique coopérant avec les moyens périphériques de guidage de couvercle, pour maintenir le couvercle sur le bol et autoriser sa rotation autour d'un axe de rotation perpendiculaire au plan supérieur de bol,
- une cavité de couvercle, ayant une ouverture inférieure de couvercle bordée d'une bordure inférieure de couvercle plane et contenue dans un plan incliné par rapport au plan supérieur de bol en position assemblée, pouvant être obturée par un opercule de couvercle,
- des moyens de déchirement, solidaires du bol, positionnés de façon décentrée à l'intérieur du bol et agencés pour être à l'écart de l'ouverture inférieure de couvercle dans au moins une position angulaire relative initiale du couvercle par rapport au bol, et pour venir pénétrer dans l'ouverture inférieure de couvercle lors de la rotation du couvercle sur le bol à l'écart de ladite position angulaire relative initiale,
- a bowl having:
- a bowl bottom and a bowl peripheral wall defining an upper opening bowl cavity in a top bowl plane;
- an upper peripheral sidewalk contained in the upper bowl plane and bordering the peripheral bowl wall developing to a sidewalk edge,
- peripheral means for guiding rotational cover,
- a lid, having in its wall:
- a peripheral portion cooperating with the peripheral means for guiding a lid, for holding the lid on the bowl and allowing it to rotate about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the upper bowl plane,
- a lid cavity, having a bottom lid opening bordered by a flat lid bottom edge and contained in a plane inclined with respect to the bowl top plane in an assembled position, closable by a lid cap,
- tearing means, integral with the bowl, positioned off-center inside the bowl and arranged to be away from the lower lid opening in at least one initial relative angular position of the lid with respect to the bowl, and to enter the lower lid opening during the rotation of the lid on the bowl away from said initial relative angular position,
Un tel conteneur permet une conservation optimale.Such a container allows optimal conservation.
Les compartiments indépendants pour les aliments solides et liquides évitent la dégradation des uns par les autres préalablement à leur consommation.Independent compartments for solid and liquid foods prevent degradation by each other prior to consumption.
L'utilisation d'un opercule de conteneur permet d'assurer des conditions de conservation optimales de l'ensemble des aliments contenus dans le conteneur. L'opercule de conteneur, de forme plane et continue, permet une étanchéité maîtrisée du conteneur et nettement améliorée par rapport à l'art antérieur.The use of a container lid ensures optimum storage conditions of all the food contained in the container. The container lid, of flat and continuous shape, allows a controlled sealing of the container and significantly improved over the prior art.
L'opercule de conteneur, de forme plane et continue, permet d'utiliser une étape d'operculage simple, peu onéreuse et fiable.The container lid, of flat and continuous shape, makes it possible to use a simple, inexpensive and reliable lidding step.
L'opercule de conteneur assure également le rôle de témoin d'inviolabilité du conteneur.The container seal also acts as a tamper evidence of the container.
Ce conteneur assure le caractère hygiénique de la manipulation permettant de libérer les aliments liquides. Le déchirement de l'opercule de couvercle est en effet réalisé sans ouverture préalable du couvercle par l'utilisateur.This container ensures the hygienic nature of the handling for releasing liquid foods. The tearing of the lid lid is in fact achieved without prior opening of the lid by the user.
Pour libérer les aliments liquides, l'utilisateur doit simplement préalablement ôter l'opercule de conteneur, puis induire une rotation du couvercle par rapport au bol à l'écart de la position angulaire relative initiale pour rompre l'opercule et libérer les aliments liquides.To release the liquid foods, the user must simply first remove the container lid, then induce a rotation of the lid relative to the bowl away from the initial relative angular position to break the lid and release liquid food.
De façon avantageuse, on peut prévoir que le couvercle comprend, selon sa face extérieure, au moins un logement de préhension, permettant l'engagement de parties de main d'un utilisateur.Advantageously, it can be provided that the cover comprises, according to its outer face, at least one gripping housing, allowing the engagement of hand parts of a user.
Comme le couvercle est logé à l'intérieur du bol et affleure ou est en retrait par rapport au plan supérieur de bol, une telle configuration permet à l'utilisateur de positionner des doigts dans ledit au moins un logement prévu à cet effet afin d'aider à la prise en main du couvercle pour effectuer la rotation nécessaire pour faire pénétrer les moyens de déchirement dans l'ouverture inférieure de couvercle et rompre ainsi l'opercule de couvercle.As the lid is housed inside the bowl and is flush or recessed relative to the upper bowl plane, such a configuration allows the user to position fingers in said at least one housing provided for this purpose in order to helping to grip the lid to perform the rotation required to penetrate the tearing means in the lower lid opening and thus break the lid lid.
On peut avantageusement prévoir que :
- les moyens périphériques de guidage comprennent une rainure intérieure de guidage de bol sur un tronçon supérieur de la paroi périphérique de bol,
- le couvercle comprend des moyens d'excroissance radiale sur sa portion périphérique, qui s'engagent dans la rainure intérieure de guidage de bol.
- the peripheral guide means comprise an internal groove for guiding a bowl on an upper section of the peripheral wall of a bowl,
- the cover comprises radial protrusion means on its peripheral portion, which engage in the inner groove guide bowl.
Ces moyens sont aisés à réaliser et procurent un guidage satisfaisant du couvercle en rotation sur le bol. En outre, on optimise aussi la surface de trottoir périphérique disponible pour la soudure de l'opercule de conteneur.These means are easy to perform and provide satisfactory guidance of the rotating lid on the bowl. In addition, it also optimizes the peripheral sidewalk surface available for welding the container lid.
De façon avantageuse, on peut prévoir que :
- un rebord périphérique de couvercle est conformé pour reposer sur le trottoir périphérique supérieur de bol,
- le trottoir périphérique supérieur de bol est conformé pour se prolonger radialement au-delà du rebord périphérique de couvercle,
- une paroi latérale extérieure de couvercle vient au contact au moins en partie de la face interne de la paroi périphérique de bol.
- a peripheral lid rim is shaped to rest on the upper peripheral bowl sidewalk,
- the upper peripheral bowl sidewalk is shaped to extend radially beyond the peripheral lid rim,
- an outer cover side wall comes into contact at least in part with the inner face of the bowl peripheral wall.
Ces moyens sont aisés à réaliser. Le prolongement radial du trottoir périphérique supérieur de bol au-delà du rebord périphérique de couvercle permet de conserver une étanchéité satisfaisante du conteneur.These means are easy to achieve. The radial extension of the upper peripheral bowl sidewalk beyond the lid peripheral rim makes it possible to maintain a satisfactory seal of the container.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, la paroi du couvercle est continue et étanche. De la sorte, après libération des aliments liquides, l'utilisateur peut simplement agiter le conteneur obturé par le couvercle, pour mélanger son contenu sans risquer de laisser échapper des aliments. Il suffit ensuite d'ôter le couvercle pour accéder aux aliments à consommer, puis de refermer éventuellement le couvercle pour poursuivre la conservation des aliments non consommés.According to a first embodiment, the lid wall is continuous and sealed. In this way, after release of liquid foods, the user can simply shake the closed container by the lid, to mix its contents without the risk of letting out food. Then simply remove the lid to access the foods to eat, and eventually close the lid to continue the conservation of food not consumed.
Selon un second mode de réalisation, on peut avantageusement prévoir que :
- le couvercle comprend une portion de paroi à l'écart de la cavité de couvercle, cette portion de paroi étant conformée pour admettre le passage d'un tube permettant de faire le vide et de réinjecter un gaz dans la cavité de bol pour favoriser la conservation des aliments dans le bol,
- le conteneur comprend en outre un couvercle de protection conformé pour reposer sur le trottoir périphérique supérieur et recouvrir l'opercule de conteneur.
- the cover comprises a wall portion away from the cover cavity, said wall portion being shaped to admit passage of a vacuum tube and to reinject a gas into the bowl cavity to promote preservation food in the bowl,
- the container further comprises a protective cover shaped to rest on the upper peripheral sidewalk and cover the container lid.
On peut ainsi créer une atmosphère protectrice pour favoriser la conservation des aliments contenus dans le bol. Le couvercle de protection permet de recréer une étanchéité pour permettre le mélange des aliments du bol avec ceux du couvercle sans projections à l'extérieur du conteneur, et pour refermer le conteneur pour poursuivre la conservation des aliments après une première ouverture du conteneur.It is thus possible to create a protective atmosphere to promote the preservation of the food contained in the bowl. The protective cover allows to recreate a seal to allow the mixing of food bowl with those of the lid without projections outside the container, and to close the container to continue the preservation of food after a first opening of the container.
Avantageusement, on peut prévoir que le conteneur est réalisé par thermoformage.Advantageously, it can be provided that the container is made by thermoforming.
Le thermoformage permet d'obtenir un conteneur à faible coût.Thermoforming provides a low cost container.
On peut avantageusement prévoir que le conteneur est réalisé par thermoformage d'un complexe tricouche PP/EVOH/PP.It can advantageously be provided that the container is made by thermoforming a tricouche complex PP / EVOH / PP.
Ce complexe permet une conservation optimale des aliments contenus dans le conteneur.This complex allows optimal preservation of the food contained in the container.
Selon un second aspect, l'invention prévoit l'utilisation d'un conteneur selon le premier aspect de l'invention pour le conditionnement d'aliments, qui comprend les étapes suivantes :
- se munir d'un bol et d'un couvercle d'un conteneur selon le premier aspect de l'invention,
- introduire des aliments ou un liquide dans la cavité de couvercle, puis coller ou sceller un opercule de couvercle sur la bordure inférieure de couvercle,
- introduire des aliments dans la cavité de bol,
- engager le couvercle dans la cavité de bol, dans une position angulaire relative initiale telle que les moyens de déchirement sont à l'écart de l'ouverture inférieure de couvercle,
- sceller ou coller sur le trottoir périphérique supérieur un opercule de conteneur plan et continu.
- to provide a bowl and a lid of a container according to the first aspect of the invention,
- introducing food or liquid into the lid cavity, then gluing or sealing a lid seal on the bottom lid edge,
- introduce food into the bowl cavity,
- engaging the lid in the bowl cavity, in an initial relative angular position such that the tearing means is away from the lower lid opening,
- seal or glue on the upper peripheral sidewalk a flat and continuous container lid.
Un tel conditionnement implique peu d'étapes. Chaque étape est simple à réaliser et à mettre en oeuvre. L'opercule de conteneur est plan, continu et non circulaire contrairement à l'art antérieur. Il est plus facile à coller ou sceller, et plus simple et moins onéreux que les opercules en couronne circulaire.Such conditioning involves few steps. Each step is simple to implement and to implement. The container lid is flat, continuous and non-circular unlike the prior art. It is easier to glue or seal, and easier and less expensive than circular ring lids.
Selon un troisième aspect, l'invention prévoit l'utilisation d'un tel conditionnement selon le second aspect de l'invention pour la consommation des aliments contenus dans le conteneur, qui comprend les étapes suivantes :
- ôter l'opercule de conteneur,
- positionner les doigts d'un utilisateur dans ledit au moins un intervalle de préhension,
- déplacer en rotation relative le couvercle par rapport au bol à l'écart de la position angulaire relative initiale afin de provoquer le déchirement de l'opercule de couvercle, les aliments ou le liquide de la cavité de couvercle s'introduisant alors dans le bol,
- agiter le conteneur,
- séparer le couvercle du bol.
- remove the container seal,
- positioning the fingers of a user in said at least one gripping interval,
- relative rotation of the lid relative to the bowl away from the initial relative angular position to cause tearing of the lid cap, food or liquid of the lid cavity then entering the bowl,
- shake the container,
- separate the lid of the bowl.
Pour libérer les aliments liquides, l'utilisateur doit simplement préalablement réaliser deux opérations simples pour lesquelles il n'a pas besoin d'être en contact direct avec les aliments. Il suffit d'ôter l'opercule de conteneur et d'induire une rotation du couvercle par rapport au bol pour rompre l'opercule et libérer les aliments liquides. L'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à agiter le contenu du conteneur pour mélanger avant de consommer.To release liquid foods, the user must simply perform two simple operations for which he does not need to be in direct contact with food. Just remove the container lid and induce a rotation of the lid relative to the bowl to break the lid and release liquid food. The user only has to shake the contents of the container to mix before consuming.
Selon un quatrième aspect, l'invention prévoit un produit alimentaire sous la forme d'une préparation alimentaire comprenant :
- des aliments contenus dans la cavité de bol d'un conteneur selon le premier aspect de l'invention,
- un liquide ou d'autres aliments contenus dans la cavité de couvercle dudit conteneur,
- un opercule de couvercle, scellé ou collé sur la bordure inférieure de couvercle et obturant l'ouverture inférieure de couvercle,
