Definitions
- the invention is directed at the packaging sector of food products for human consumption. More in detail, the invention relates to an improved draining tray for containing fresh food, and is particularly (but not exclusively) directed at the packaging of meat, fish or cheese.
- draining trays for containing fresh food, such as meat, on sale on supermarket shelves are generally made of expanded polystyrene, prevalently quadrangular in shape, and comprise a bottom layer and raised side walls for containing the product.
- Patent no. 0001406149 by the same applicant discloses a draining tray comprising a first bottom layer and side walls, and a second bottom layer, positioned in the inside part of said tray and creating a hollow space with said first bottom layer, where said second bottom layer is provided with through holes for drainage of the liquids released from food products and an absorbent material is arranged in said hollow space for these liquids.
- This tray also comprises retaining means to join said first bottom layer and said second bottom layer, adapted to maintain the two parts coupled in a stable and durable manner.
- These retaining means are obtained by means of discontinuous structures, protruding from said first bottom layer towards the inside of the tray, and corresponding discontinuities, or holes, obtained on said second bottom layer, adapted to be engaged by said discontinuous structures.
- the retaining means do not guarantee stable coupling and their structure does not facilitate the operations to assemble the tray.
- the second bottom layer might not be arranged perfectly parallel to the first, and can remain slightly tilted and therefore incorrectly positioned, compromising the stability of the coupling and the effect of draining the liquids released by the foods.
- the two bottom layers can become detached if they are not correctly coupled.
- the invention intends to overcome these limits by providing a draining tray for containing fresh food that is easily produced, simple and fast to assemble either manually or automatically, and has a structural composition that is stable and therefore more durable and reliable.

- said discontinuous protruding structures are four arranged at the four corners of said first bottom layer
- said hollow discontinuous structures are four, arranged at the four corners of said second bottom layer.
- said discontinuous protruding structures are offset from one another along a direction of extension of said tray.
- discontinuous hollow structures have a lower conicity with respect to said discontinuous protruding structures so that their coupling takes place with friction interference fit.
- said retaining means comprise:
- said at least one ridge comprises of discontinuities.
- said at least one ridge comprises a flat upper profile and said at least one a channel comprises a flat bottom layer.
- the invention presents numerous advantages.
- the coupling between said first and second bottom layer takes place only by means of press fitting and with the aid of the retaining means obtained directly from said first and second bottom layer, without undercuts, facilitated by said vertical alignment means, which are adapted to guide the insertion of said second bottom layer in said tray: as the hollow structures are lowered gradually onto the projecting structures, said second bottom layer is arranged centered in the tray and press fitting of the retaining means is facilitated.
- the lower conicity of the hollow structures with respect to the structures protruding from first bottom layer makes alignment more precise, as the shape coupling between the two structures takes place with friction interference fit. The friction also makes the coupling more stable.
- the misaligned arrangement of the discontinuous protruding structures, and respectively of the hollow structures means that, during the production stages of the tray, when the components are stored stacked in piles, if they are placed one on top of the other rotated through 180° they do not become packed together but remain at the useful distance for the grippers of the machines to lift each single component part.
- a draining tray 1 for containing fresh food with a rectangular plan comprising a first bottom layer 2, a second bottom layer 3 and raised retaining side walls 4 projecting from said first bottom layer 2.
- Said first bottom layer 2 and second bottom layer 3 are maintained at a distance from each other, defining a hollow space.
- Said second bottom layer 3 is provided with through holes 5, adapted to place the area of the tray 1 for containing the fresh food in communication with said hollow space, and to allow the liquids produced by the foods to percolate.

Description
- The invention is directed at the packaging sector of food products for human consumption. More in detail, the invention relates to an improved draining tray for containing fresh food, and is particularly (but not exclusively) directed at the packaging of meat, fish or cheese.
- According to the prior art, draining trays for containing fresh food, such as meat, on sale on supermarket shelves, are generally made of expanded polystyrene, prevalently quadrangular in shape, and comprise a bottom layer and raised side walls for containing the product.
- Patent no.
0001406149 by the same applicant discloses a draining tray comprising a first bottom layer and side walls, and a second bottom layer, positioned in the inside part of said tray and creating a hollow space with said first bottom layer, where said second bottom layer is provided with through holes for drainage of the liquids released from food products and an absorbent material is arranged in said hollow space for these liquids. - This tray also comprises retaining means to join said first bottom layer and said second bottom layer, adapted to maintain the two parts coupled in a stable and durable manner.
- These retaining means are obtained by means of discontinuous structures, protruding from said first bottom layer towards the inside of the tray, and corresponding discontinuities, or holes, obtained on said second bottom layer, adapted to be engaged by said discontinuous structures.
- These trays have some disadvantages.
- The retaining means do not guarantee stable coupling and their structure does not facilitate the operations to assemble the tray.
- To position the second bottom layer inside the tray great care must be taken to align it with the first bottom layer to allow the discontinuities to be centered with the discontinuous protruding structure.
- If alignment is not precise, the second bottom layer might not be arranged perfectly parallel to the first, and can remain slightly tilted and therefore incorrectly positioned, compromising the stability of the coupling and the effect of draining the liquids released by the foods.
- Moreover, when the trays are moved from one shelf to another or handled without holding them perfectly horizontal, or transported loosely in a shopping bag, the two bottom layers can become detached if they are not correctly coupled.
- Finally, the technical solution used does not facilitate picking up of the two components to couple them in an automated packaging line.
- The invention intends to overcome these limits by providing a draining tray for containing fresh food that is easily produced, simple and fast to assemble either manually or automatically, and has a structural composition that is stable and therefore more durable and reliable.
- These objects are achieved with an improved draining tray for containing fresh food, comprising:
- a first bottom layer and raised side walls;
- a second bottom layer positioned in the inside part of said tray and creating a hollow space with said first bottom layer, wherein said second bottom layer is provided with through holes;
- a layer of absorbent material suitable for contact with foods arranged in said hollow space;
- retaining means of said second bottom layer on said first bottom layer,
- According to a first aspect of the invention, said vertical alignment means comprise:
- discontinuous truncated cone shaped protruding structures, obtained on said first bottom layer and projecting towards the inside of said tray;
- discontinuous truncated cone shaped hollow structures, obtained on said second bottom layer, having the cavity facing towards the inside of said tray,
- In a possible variant of embodiment, said tray is substantially rectangular in shape, said discontinuous protruding structures are four arranged at the four corners of said first bottom layer, and said hollow discontinuous structures are four, arranged at the four corners of said second bottom layer.
- Advantageously, said discontinuous protruding structures are offset from one another along a direction of extension of said tray.
- In particular, said discontinuous hollow structures have a lower conicity with respect to said discontinuous protruding structures so that their coupling takes place with friction interference fit.
- According to a further aspect of the invention, said retaining means comprise:
- at least one ridge projecting from said first bottom layer towards the inside of the tray, arranged at least along one section of the contour of said first bottom layer;
- at least one corresponding channel obtained on said second bottom layer, with the cavity facing towards the inside of said tray,
- In a preferred variant, said at least one ridge comprises of discontinuities.
- Moreover, said at least one ridge comprises a flat upper profile and said at least one a channel comprises a flat bottom layer.
- The invention presents numerous advantages.
- The coupling between said first and second bottom layer takes place only by means of press fitting and with the aid of the retaining means obtained directly from said first and second bottom layer, without undercuts, facilitated by said vertical alignment means, which are adapted to guide the insertion of said second bottom layer in said tray: as the hollow structures are lowered gradually onto the projecting structures, said second bottom layer is arranged centered in the tray and press fitting of the retaining means is facilitated.
- The lower conicity of the hollow structures with respect to the structures protruding from first bottom layer makes alignment more precise, as the shape coupling between the two structures takes place with friction interference fit. The friction also makes the coupling more stable.
- The misaligned arrangement of the discontinuous protruding structures, and respectively of the hollow structures, means that, during the production stages of the tray, when the components are stored stacked in piles, if they are placed one on top of the other rotated through 180° they do not become packed together but remain at the useful distance for the grippers of the machines to lift each single component part.
- The advantages of the invention will be made clearer below with the description of a preferred embodiment, provided by way of non-limiting example, and with the aid of the drawings wherein:
-

ridges 9, arranged parallel to each other along twoside walls 4 of saidtray 1, and twocorresponding channels 10, also parallel to each other, arranged along two sides of saidsecond bottom layer 3. - Each
ridge 9 and therespective channel 10 have substantially complementary cross sections, so that their shape coupling produces the stable coupling of said first 2 and said second 3 bottom layer. - To ensure greater stability and to increase the contact surface between
ridge 9 andchannel 10, both comprise a flat portion: theridge 9 comprises a flat upper profile 9' and thechannel 10 comprises a flat bottom 10'. - In a variant not illustrated, said retaining means comprise a single ridge and a single channel arranged along a closed line.
- In this case, said ridge comprises lowered points, adapted to allow any liquids that have seeped out along the edge of the second bottom layer to return into the hollow space and be absorbed permanently by the cellulose.
- The coupling between said first 2 and second 3 bottom layer, and therefore the insertion of said
ridges 9 in saidchannels 10, takes place by interference, by press fitting thereof. - Said
tray 1 also comprises vertical alignment means, adapted to guide the insertion of saidsecond bottom layer 3 in saidtray 1, so as to facilitate centering of theridges 9 with therespective channels 10 during press fitting of the twobottom layers - Said vertical alignment means comprise:
