Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging assembly for foodstuffs, in particular for a dish or meal to be re-heated. This assembly comprises a sterilisable tray 1 closed by a crimped fluid-tight cover 3, a second separable tray 7, transparent to microwaves and snap-fit means 4, 8 adapted to make it possible to fix the two trays in a removable way, one inverted upon the other. When the foodstuffs are consumed, after withdrawing the cover 3, the former may be transferred into the second tray by inverting the assembly in order to re-heat the foodstuffs by means of microwaves.

Description

ENSEMBLE DE CONDITIONNEMENT POUR ALIMENTS
L'invention concerne un ensemble de conditionnement pour aliments, en particulier pour plat ou repas à réchauffer.FOOD PACKAGING ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to a packaging unit for food, in particular for a dish or meal to be reheated.

Les plats à réchauffer servis notamment dans les transports aériens sont généralement contenus dans des barquettes, chacune obturée par un opercule étanche serti sur celle-ci. Ces barquettes sont métalliques en vue de permettre de les sertir de façon étanche et de les stériliser après fermeture. The dishes to be heated, served in particular in air transport, are generally contained in trays, each closed by a tight seal crimped thereon. These trays are metallic in order to allow them to be sealed and sterilized after closing.

Toutefois, ce type de conditionnement présente plusieurs défauts. Le plus grave réside dans l'impossibilité d'effectuer un chauffage des aliments par micro-ondes. Les fours à micro-ondes sont en effet devenus un moyen très répandu et très commode de chauffage, et la nature métallique des barquettes ne permet pas de les utiliser. I1 est à souligner que cette nature métallique est une nécessité compte-tenu des conditions de sertissage en ambiance graisseuse et des conditions de stérilisation que ne supporteraient pas d'autres matériaux (en particulier les matières synthétiques).Par ailleurs, les barquettes de conditionnement actuelles ne donnent pas la faculté de stocker, en un seul ensemble compact, des aliments complémentaires, solides ou préconditionnés, destinés à accompagner le plat lors de sa consommation, soit à titre d'adjuvant (sel, poivre, portion de pain), soit pour le compléter et fournir un véritable repas (entrée, portion de fromage, dessert, gobelet de boisson...). However, this type of packaging has several shortcomings. The most serious is the inability to heat food by microwave. Microwave ovens have indeed become a very widespread and very convenient means of heating, and the metallic nature of the trays does not allow them to be used. It should be emphasized that this metallic nature is a necessity given the crimping conditions in a greasy environment and the sterilization conditions that other materials (in particular synthetic materials) would not withstand. Furthermore, current packaging trays do not give the option of storing, in a single compact set, complementary, solid or preconditioned foods, intended to accompany the dish during its consumption, either as an adjuvant (salt, pepper, portion of bread), or for complete it and provide a real meal (starter, portion of cheese, dessert, goblet of drink ...).

La présente invention se propose de fournir un ensemble de conditionnement perfectionné, capable de pallier les insuffisances des dispositifs connus. The present invention proposes to provide an improved packaging assembly, capable of overcoming the shortcomings of known devices.

Un objectif essentiel de l'invention est en particulier de fournir un ensemble de conditionnement, offrant les mêmes possibilités de sertissage et stérilisation que les dispositifs connus et permettant de réaliser un réchauffage commode des aliments au moyen des micro-ondes. An essential objective of the invention is in particular to provide a packaging unit, offering the same possibilities of crimping and sterilization as the known devices and making it possible to conveniently reheat food using microwaves.

Un autre objectif est de permettre de conditionner dans ledit ensemble, d'une part, des aliments appelés à être ajoutés ou à servir de complément au plat à réchauffer, d'autre part, le cas échéant, des couverts utiles lors de la consommation. Another objective is to make it possible to package in said set, on the one hand, foods called to be added or to serve as a complement to the dish to be heated, on the other hand, if necessary, cutlery useful during consumption.

Un autre objectif est de réaliser lesdits ensembles de conditionnement à partir de barquettes stérilisables traditionnelles afin de conserver strictement le processus classique de remplissage, sertissage et stérilisation, sans aucun investissement au niveau des machines appelées à effectuer ces opérations. Another objective is to produce said packaging assemblies from traditional sterilizable trays in order to strictly maintain the conventional filling, crimping and sterilization process, without any investment in the machines called upon to perform these operations.

A cet effet, l'ensemble de conditionnement visé per l'invention comprend, en premier lieu, une barquette stérilisable, notamment métallique, ayant une face ouverte, et un opercule étanche serti autour de ladite face ouverte de barquette ; selon la présente invention, l'ensemble comprend :
une seconde barquette, séparable, ayant une face ouverte et formée d'un matériau de qualité alimentaire, transparent ou peu absorbant à l'égard des micro-ondes,
et des moyens d'encliquetage adaptés pour permettre de fixer de façon amovible les deux barquettes renversées l'une sur l'autre avec leur face ouverte en correspondance.To this end, the packaging assembly contemplated by the invention comprises, first of all, a sterilizable container, in particular a metal container, having an open face, and a sealed cover crimped around said open container face; according to the present invention, the assembly comprises:
a second separable tray having an open face formed from a food-grade material, transparent or poorly absorbent with regard to microwaves,
and latching means adapted to allow the two trays overturned to be fixed removably to one another with their open face in correspondence.

De façon classique, l'opercule peut être serti sur la première barquette par un bourrelet de sertissage situé à la périphérie de la face ouverte de celle-ci. Selon l'invention, les moyens d'encliquetage de l'ensemble de conditionnement comprennent alors, de préférence, un rebord d'encliquetage agencé autour de la face ouverte de la seconde barquette de façon à pouvoir s'encliqueter autour du bourrelet de sertissage de la première barquette. Conventionally, the cover can be crimped onto the first tray by a crimping bead located at the periphery of the open face thereof. According to the invention, the latching means of the packaging assembly then preferably comprise a latching rim arranged around the open face of the second container so as to be able to snap around the crimping bead of the first tray.

Ainsi, le plat à réchauffer est contenu dans la première barquette, stérilisable et étanche, qui est identique aux berquette.s connues, la technique de conditionnement restant traditionnelle. Ensuite, la seconde barquette est encliquetée sur la première de façon à former un tout compact. Le cas échéant, cette seconde barquette peut contenir des couverts et des additifs ou compléments alimentaires du plat ; ces derniers sont avantageusement logés dans des compartiments qui sont formés par des moyens amovibles de compartimentage (croisillons...) disposés dans la seconde barquette. Thus, the dish to be heated is contained in the first tray, sterilizable and sealed, which is identical to the known berquette.s, the packaging technique remaining traditional. Then, the second tray is snapped onto the first so as to form a compact whole. If necessary, this second tray may contain cutlery and food additives or supplements to the dish; the latter are advantageously housed in compartments which are formed by removable partitioning means (braces, etc.) arranged in the second tray.

Lors de l'utilisation, la seconde barquette est séparée de la première, puis l'opercule est oté de la première barquette. Le cas échéant après retrait de son contenu, la seconde barquette est ensuite à nouveau encliquetée sur la première, et l'ensemble est retourné : le plat à réchauffer est ainsi transvasé dans la seconde barquette sans aucun risque d'éclaboussure. La première barquette est alors enlevée et le plat peut être inséré dans un four à micro-ondes pour le réchauffer. La seconde barquette peut en particulier être réalisée en matière synthétique, éventuellement décorée, le plat étant ensuite consommé dans celle-ci. During use, the second tray is separated from the first, then the cover is removed from the first tray. If necessary after removing its contents, the second tray is then snapped onto the first again, and the assembly is turned over: the dish to be reheated is thus transferred to the second tray without any risk of splashing. The first tray is then removed and the dish can be inserted into a microwave to warm it up. The second tray can in particular be made of synthetic material, possibly decorated, the dish then being consumed therein.

D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui suit en référence aux dessins annexés, lesquels en présentent à titre non limitatif un mode de réalisation ; sur ces dessins
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un ensemble de conditionnement conforme à l'invention,
- la figure 2 en est une coupe par un plan A,
- la figure 3 en est une vue de détail en perspective montrant un plot d'encliquetage de la seconde barquette,
- les figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 et 9 sont des schémas montrant l'utilisation de l'ensemble de conditionnement conforme à l'invention.Other characteristics of the invention will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, which present an embodiment of it without limitation; on these drawings
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a packaging unit in accordance with the invention,
FIG. 2 is a section through a plane A thereof,
FIG. 3 is a detailed perspective view thereof showing a latching stud of the second container,
- Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are diagrams showing the use of the packaging assembly according to the invention.

L'ensemble de conditionnement représenté à titre d'exemple aux figures comprend une barquette 1 en alliage léger d'aluminium. Cette barquette de forme générale parallélépipédique rectangle aux angles arrondis peut comprendre des saillies et creux tels que 2 en vue de la rigidifier, tout en améliorant son esthétique. Une de ses grandes faces (face supérieure opposée au fond) est ouverte et est obturée, après remplissage, par un opercule métallique 3. The packaging assembly shown by way of example in the figures comprises a tray 1 made of light aluminum alloy. This generally rectangular rectangular tub with rounded corners may include projections and recesses such as 2 in order to stiffen it, while improving its aesthetics. One of its large faces (upper face opposite the bottom) is open and is closed, after filling, with a metal cover 3.

Cet opercule est serti autour de la face ouverte de la barquette 1 au moyen d'un bourrelet de sertissage 4.This cover is crimped around the open face of the container 1 by means of a crimping bead 4.

De plus, de façon connue en soi, l'opercule 3 comporte un élément de traction, en l'exemple un anneau 5, et possède une ligne de découpage en vue de son ouverture. Cette ligne, qui est symbolisée en 6 sur le détail de la figure 2, suit sensiblement le périmètre de l'opercule. In addition, in a manner known per se, the cover 3 comprises a traction element, in the example a ring 5, and has a cutting line for its opening. This line, which is symbolized at 6 in the detail of FIG. 2, substantially follows the perimeter of the cover.

La fabrication de la barquette 1, son sertissage et sa stérilisation sont réalisés de façon traditionnelle. Il est à noter que la nature métallique de cette barquette est imposée, d'une part, par le sertissage (un sertissage étanche n'étant pas possible avec les matières synthétiques si l'on n'est pas dans des conditions rigoureuses de propreté), d'autre part, par la stérilisation (à une température de l'ordre de 1150 C, incompatible avec l'utilisation des matières synthétiques). The manufacture of the tray 1, its crimping and sterilization are carried out in the traditional way. It should be noted that the metallic nature of this tray is imposed, on the one hand, by crimping (a tight crimping is not possible with synthetic materials if one is not in strict conditions of cleanliness) , on the other hand, by sterilization (at a temperature of the order of 1150 C, incompatible with the use of synthetic materials).

Par ailleurs, l'ensemble de conditionnement comprend une seconde barquette 7 en matière synthétique de qualité alimentaire, transparente aux micro-ondes. Cette barquette peut en particulier être en matière transparente à la lumière, telle que polystyrène transparent désigné "cristal".  Furthermore, the packaging assembly includes a second tray 7 made of food-grade synthetic material, transparent to microwaves. This tray may in particular be made of a material transparent to light, such as transparent polystyrene designated "crystal".

Cette barquette 7 possède une forme parallélépipédique rectangle semblable à celle de la première. This tray 7 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape similar to that of the first.

Son volume est au moins égal à celui de la première barquette et peut avantageusement être légèrement supérieur, par exemple de 10 à 20 S par rapport à celui de ladite première barquette.Its volume is at least equal to that of the first tray and can advantageously be slightly greater, for example from 10 to 20 S relative to that of said first tray.

La seconde barquette 7 possède une face ouverte de forme et de surface équivalentes à celles de la première barquette, avec un rebord périphérique d'encliquetage 8 apte à venir coiffer extérieurement le bourrelet de sertissage 4 et à s'encliqueter sur celui-ci. A cet effet, le rebord 8 possède des plots d'encliquetage tels que 8a répartis intérieurement autour et à la base de celui-ci en vue de venir s'appuyer élastiquement sous le bourrelet de sertissage 4. I1 est à noter que ces plots d'encliquetage 8a pourraient être remplacés par un court retour d'encliquetage s'étendant de façon continue autour du rebord 8. The second tray 7 has an open face with a shape and surface equivalent to those of the first tray, with a peripheral snap rim 8 capable of coming to cap the crimping bead 4 externally and to snap onto it. For this purpose, the rim 8 has snap-on studs such as 8a distributed internally around and at the base thereof in order to come to bear elastically under the crimping bead 4. It should be noted that these studs d 'snap 8a could be replaced by a short snap return extending continuously around the flange 8.

De plus, la barquette 7 est pourvue d'oreilles externes 9, en l'exemple à chacun de ses angles au niveau de la base du rebord 8, qui permettent de la saisir et de décrocher par traction les moyens d' encliquetage (8, 8a) de la seconde barquette par rapport au bourrelet 4 de la première. In addition, the tray 7 is provided with external ears 9, in the example at each of its angles at the base of the rim 8, which make it possible to grasp it and unhook by traction the snap-fastening means (8, 8a) of the second tray relative to the bead 4 of the first.

Par ailleurs, la barquette 7 est avantageusement pourvue d'un croisillon amovible de compartimentage 10, qui la divise en plusieurs compartiments, chacun adapté à la mise en place d'aliments complémentaires sachet de sel et de poivre, portion de pain ensachée, gobelet fermé de boisson, entrées préconditionnées, portions de fromage ou desserts... En outre, le croisillon 10 peut être échancré, comme le montre en îOa la figure 1, en vue de permettre de loger longitudinalement dans la barquette 7 des couverts jetables (fourchette, cuillère, couteau...) utiles lors de la consommation. Furthermore, the tray 7 is advantageously provided with a removable dividing spider 10, which divides it into several compartments, each suitable for placing complementary foods sachet of salt and pepper, portion of bagged bread, closed cup of drink, preconditioned entrees, portions of cheese or desserts ... In addition, the spider 10 can be notched, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to allow longitudinal accommodation in the tray 7 of disposable cutlery (fork, spoon, knife ...) useful during consumption.

Les figures 4 à 9 illustrent l'utilisation de l'ensemble de conditionnement conforme à l'invention et mettent en évidence ses avantages. Figures 4 to 9 illustrate the use of the packaging assembly according to the invention and highlight its advantages.

Une fois garni, l'ensemble se présente sous la forme d'un tout compact, comme le montre la figure 4. Le plat à réchauffer (plat en sauce ou autre) est étanchément logé dans la barquette métallique 1 dont le sertissage et la stérilisation autorisent de longues durées de conservation. Once filled, the assembly is in the form of a compact whole, as shown in Figure 4. The dish to be heated (dish in sauce or other) is sealed in the metal tray 1 whose crimping and sterilization allow long storage times.

Les aliments additionnels ou accessoires sont disposés dans la barquette 7. Celle-ci, transparente à la lumière, peut contenir une fiche "menu", visible de l'extérieur.The additional food or accessories are placed in the tray 7. The latter, transparent to light, may contain a "menu" card, visible from the outside.

Lors de la consommation, l'utilisateur sépare la barquette 1 de la barquette 7, en tirant sur les oreilles 9 de cette dernière afin de décrocher les moyens d'encliquetage (figure 5). Les aliments additionnels ou accessoires sont alors récupérés, les croisillons de compartimentage étant enlevés. During consumption, the user separates the tray 1 from the tray 7, by pulling on the ears 9 of the latter in order to unhook the latching means (FIG. 5). The additional or accessory food is then recovered, the compartmentalizing braces being removed.

L'utilisateur ouvre ensuite la barquette 1 en découpant son opercule 3 par traction sur l'anneau 5 (figure 6). The user then opens the tray 1 by cutting out its cover 3 by pulling on the ring 5 (FIG. 6).

Puis la barquette 7 est à nouveau encliquetée sur la barquette 1 (figure 7) et l'ensemble est renversé pour transférer le plat à réchauffer dans ladite barquette 7 (figure 8). Then the tray 7 is again snapped onto the tray 1 (Figure 7) and the assembly is inverted to transfer the dish to be heated in said tray 7 (Figure 8).

Cette dernière peut alors être disposée dans un four à micro-ondes pour obtenir un plat chaud (figure 9), lequel peut être consommé directement dans celle-ci.  The latter can then be placed in a microwave oven to obtain a hot dish (Figure 9), which can be eaten directly in it.
