Abstract

The collapsible isothermal protection for a container pallet filled with perishable foodstuff comprises a tray filled with ice (2). The tray has a removable grille (3) on which crates filled with fruit or vegetables are stacked. The assembly is covered by a cover (5) with a bellows shaped element (6). The end of the bellows (8) is fixed to the tray perimeter which rests on a standard pallet (7). The bellows is made from a sealing and cold and heat insulating material. The cover and the tray have holes (12) enabling their connection with a refrigerated ventilation duct when there is no ice available.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pliant iso therme pour protéger des intempéries et de la chaleur le contenu d'une palette contenant des denrées alimentaires périssables en particulier , les fruits et légumes
En été ; l'inconvénient majeur pour les producteurs de fruits et légumes et que lorsqu'ils déchargent de leurs camions réfrigéré ,les palettes de fruits il se créé souvent une énorme différence de température qui nuit à la conservation et abime sérieusement les fruits
Les dispositifs existant sont inéfficasse car ils n'assurent pas une étanchéité complète et sont encombrants.The subject of the present invention is an iso-thermic folding device for protecting the contents of a pallet containing perishable foodstuffs, in particular fruits and vegetables, from weather and heat.
In summer ; the major drawback for producers of fruit and vegetables and that when they unload from their refrigerated trucks, the fruit pallets there is often created a huge temperature difference which affects storage and seriously damages the fruit
Existing devices are ineffective because they do not provide a complete seal and are bulky.

L'invention trouve not.amment application dans l'industrie du conditionnement et de l'emballage
Selon , l'invention ,le dispositif consiste lors du chargement des cageots pour le transport et la livraison de positionner sur une palette standardiséé ; un bac étanche ,. comportant une grille et de la glace
Il suffit d'y empiler les cageots et à l'aide d'un couvercle munit d'un soufflet souple ;de recouvrir entièrement le contenu de la palette , jusqu'à la jonction étanche que comporte le bac
La figure 1 représente en perspective le dispositif et son contenu
Le dispositif conforme à l'invention comprend un bac (l) rempli de glace (2) et qui est muni d'une grille amovible (3) sur laquelle sont empilés des cageots (4) remplis de fruits ou légumes
A l'aide d'un couvercle (5)muni d'un élément souple en forme de soufflet (6) ; on recouvre l'ensemble
Il suffit de fixer l'embout du soufflet (B) au pourtour du bac (1) qui repose sur une palette standardiséé (7)
De marnière avantageuse , le bac sera conique afin de permettre
son emboitage et pourra comporter un logement pour le stockage du couvercle
L'homme de métier pourra renplacer le soufflet par un sac ou un ensemble de panneaux rigides sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention
Parmis les avantages , on soulignera le faible encombrement du dispositif ,une fois plié et la possibilité pour les producteur de consigner le dispositif The invention finds particular application in the packaging industry
According to the invention, the device consists in loading the crates for transport and delivery to position on a standardized pallet; a watertight container,. with a grid and ice
It is enough to stack the crates there and using a cover provided with a flexible bellows; to completely cover the contents of the pallet, until the tight junction which the tank contains
Figure 1 shows in perspective the device and its content
The device according to the invention comprises a container (l) filled with ice (2) and which is provided with a removable grid (3) on which are stacked crates (4) filled with fruits or vegetables
Using a cover (5) provided with a flexible bellows-shaped element (6); we cover the whole
It suffices to attach the bellows end (B) to the periphery of the tank (1) which rests on a standardized pallet (7)
Of advantageous marnière, the vat will be conical in order to allow
its casing and may include a housing for storing the cover
A person skilled in the art can replace the bellows with a bag or a set of rigid panels without departing from the scope of the invention.
Among the advantages, we emphasize the small size of the device, once folded and the possibility for producers to record the device
