Description
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
[0001] Forma oggetto della presente invenzione una confezione per sostanze pastose, tipicamente per alimenti quali burro, margarina e simili. Più in particolare, forma oggetto della presente invenzione una confezione adatta a proteggere la sostanza pastosa durante le fasi della distribuzione, dello stoccaggio e della vendita e poi ancora durante l’uso da parte del consumatore. [0001] The present invention relates to a package for pasty substances, typically for foods such as butter, margarine and the like. More particularly, the subject of the present invention is a package suitable for protecting the pasty substance during the phases of distribution, storage and sale and then again during use by the consumer.
[0002] Nella descrizione che segue, si farà specifico riferimento, a titolo esemplificativo e non limitativo, ad una confezione destinata a contenere burro ma resta inteso che i medesimi concetti inventivi possono essere applicati a confezioni destinate a contenere altre sostanze pastose, siano esse alimentari (ad esempio margarina) o non alimentari (ad esempio plastilina da modellare). [0002] In the following description, specific reference will be made, by way of non-limiting example, to a package intended to contain butter but it is understood that the same inventive concepts can be applied to packages intended to contain other pasty substances, whether they are foodstuffs (e.g. margarine) or non-food items (e.g. modeling clay).
[0003] Nell’ambito del confezionamento del burro, à ̈ noto l’uso di involucri di carta oleata o di carta accoppiata con un foglio di alluminio. Tali involucri verranno di seguito indicati semplicemente come involucri di carta. In accordo con questa soluzione nota, il singolo panetto di burro viene avvolto con la carta in fase di produzione e, così confezionato, viene poi avviato alle successive fasi di distribuzione, stoccaggio e vendita. Gli involucri di questo tipo comprendono a volte una scala graduata che consente al consumatore di tagliare pezzi di burro di dimensioni pressoché controllate. [0003] In the context of packaging butter, the use of greaseproof paper or paper coupled with aluminum foil is known. Such wrappers will hereinafter be referred to simply as paper wrappers. In accordance with this known solution, the single stick of butter is wrapped with paper during the production phase and, thus packaged, is then sent to the subsequent distribution, storage and sale phases. Wraps of this type sometimes include a graduated scale which allows the consumer to cut pieces of butter of almost controlled size.
[0004] Un primo utilizzo di tale tipo di confezione da parte del consumatore prevede che il burro venga mantenuto nell’involucro durante tutto il tempo impiegato per consumarlo. Un secondo utilizzo di tale confezione, prevede invece che essa venga asportata e smaltita alla prima apertura del burro e che questo venga poi riposto in una apposita burriera o con incarti protettivi realizzati al momento dall’utilizzatore stesso con alluminio o pellicola trasparente per alimenti. [0004] A first use of this type of package by the consumer provides that the butter is kept in the wrapper for the entire time taken to consume it. A second use of this package, on the other hand, requires that it be removed and disposed of when the butter is first opened and that it is then placed in a special butter dish or with protective wrappers made at the moment by the user himself with aluminum or transparent film for food.
[0005] La burriera à ̈ composta generalmente da un vassoio e da un coperchio a campana, adatti a contenere il burro sia per riporlo in frigorifero sia per renderlo disponibile sulla tavola. Le burriere di tipo noto, proprio perché destinate ad essere portate in tavola, sono solitamente realizzate in materiali pregiati tipo ceramica, porcellana, metallo o plastica e hanno spesso finiture eleganti. [0005] The butter dish is generally composed of a tray and a bell lid, suitable for containing the butter both to store it in the refrigerator and to make it available on the table. Well-known butter dishes, precisely because they are intended to be brought to the table, are usually made of precious materials such as ceramic, porcelain, metal or plastic and often have elegant finishes.
[0006] Benché ampiamente impiegate ed apprezzate, queste soluzioni note non sono prive di inconvenienti. [0006] Although widely used and appreciated, these known solutions are not without drawbacks.
[0007] Innanzitutto l’involucro in carta, una volta aperto, risulta difficile da richiudere in modo accurato. Ne deriva quindi che, dopo la prima apertura, il burro resta almeno parzialmente esposto all’aria. Inoltre, quando utilizzato durante il consumo del burro, l’involucro in carta à ̈ facilmente danneggiato dalla lama impiegata per tagliare o raschiare il burro. I danni all’involucro comportano ulteriori difficoltà nel richiudere adeguatamente l’involucro attorno al burro. [0007] First of all, the paper wrapping, once opened, is difficult to close accurately. It follows therefore that, after the first opening, the butter remains at least partially exposed to the air. Furthermore, when used during the consumption of butter, the paper wrapper is easily damaged by the blade used to cut or scrape the butter. Damage to the wrapper makes it more difficult to properly close the wrapper around the butter.
[0008] La presenza della scala graduata riportata sull’involucro à ̈ utile solo fino a quando quest’ultimo à ̈ sufficientemente integro, mentre quando la carta, a seguito dei ripetuti tagli, fosse sensibilmente danneggiata, l’utilità della scala graduata verrebbe meno. [0008] The presence of the graduated scale shown on the envelope is useful only as long as the latter is sufficiently intact, while when the paper, following repeated cuts, is significantly damaged, the usefulness of the scale graduate would fail.
[0009] Infine tale tipo di confezione in carta non può fornire in sé alcun appoggio per il taglio. Il consumatore, per poter facilmente tagliare il burro, à ̈ quindi costretto ad impiegare una stoviglia complementare quale un piatto, un vassoio o un tagliere. [0009] Finally, this type of paper package cannot itself provide any support for cutting. The consumer, in order to be able to easily cut the butter, is therefore forced to use a complementary dish such as a plate, a tray or a cutting board.
[0010] Per quanto riguarda invece le burriere, esse forniscono senz’altro un appoggio migliore per il taglio del burro rispetto all’involucro di carta. Esse però sono spesso ingombranti, pesanti e relativamente costose. L’ingombro complessivo, anche senza considerare eventuali decorazioni, à ̈ infatti determinato dalle dimensioni dei panetti di burro più grandi tra quelli comunemente in vendita. Anche un consumatore che consumasse poco burro e comprasse quindi panetti di taglio medio o piccolo, dovrebbe riporli in burriere dimensionate per accogliere panetti di taglio grande. Questo naturalmente determina uno spiacevole spreco di spazio sulla tavola e soprattutto nel frigorifero. Inoltre le comuni burriere possono essere difficilmente movimentate con una sola mano, perché il coperchio a campana à ̈ solitamente appoggiato al vassoio senza ulteriori vincoli. Infine il coperchio a campana, poiché spesso à ̈ semplicemente appoggiato al vassoio, non sempre garantisce una chiusura con un adeguato grado di tenuta all’aria, con conseguente ossidazione del prodotto. [0010] As regards butter dishes, on the other hand, they undoubtedly provide a better support for cutting butter than paper wrapping. However, they are often bulky, heavy and relatively expensive. The overall size, even without considering any decorations, is in fact determined by the size of the largest pats of butter among those commonly sold. Even a consumer who consumed little butter and therefore bought medium or small sized loaves should place them in butter trays sized to accommodate large sized loaves. This of course leads to an unpleasant waste of space on the table and especially in the refrigerator. Furthermore, common butter dishes can be difficult to handle with one hand, because the bell lid is usually placed on the tray without further constraints. Finally, the bell lid, since it is often simply placed on the tray, does not always guarantee a closure with an adequate degree of airtightness, with consequent oxidation of the product.
[0011] Infine la variabilità delle forme e delle dimensioni dei panetti di burro in commercio, renderebbero inutile la presenza di un’eventuale scala graduata riportata sulla burriera. [0011] Finally, the variability of the shapes and sizes of the butter pats on the market would make the presence of any graduated scale on the butter dish useless.
[0012] Lo scopo della presente invenzione à ̈ pertanto quello di rendere disponibile una confezione per burro che sia adatta a superare almeno parzialmente gli inconvenienti segnalati qui sopra con riferimento alla tecnica nota. [0012] The object of the present invention is therefore to make available a pack for butter which is suitable for at least partially overcoming the drawbacks indicated above with reference to the known art.
[0013] In particolare, un compito della presente invenzione à ̈ quello di rendere disponibile una confezione per burro che sia adatta a proteggere adeguatamente il burro nelle successive fasi di stoccaggio, distribuzione, vendita e consumo finale. [0013] In particular, a task of the present invention is to make available a butter package which is suitable for adequately protecting the butter in the subsequent stages of storage, distribution, sale and final consumption.
[0014] Inoltre, un altro compito della presente invenzione à ̈ quello di rendere disponibile una confezione per burro che sia leggera e maneggevole e che consenta quindi un impiego agevole e confortevole, anche con una sola mano. [0014] Furthermore, another task of the present invention is to make available a package for butter which is light and easy to handle and which therefore allows easy and comfortable use, even with one hand only.
[0015] Infine, un altro compito della presente invenzione à ̈ quello di rendere disponibile una confezione per burro che sia economica e monouso che sia dunque dimensionata in modo efficiente per il panetto di burro che contiene. Finally, another task of the present invention is to make available a butter package which is economical and disposable which is therefore dimensioned efficiently for the stick of butter it contains.
[0016] Tale scopo e tali compiti vengono raggiunti mediante una confezione per burro secondo la rivendicazione 1. [0016] This object and these tasks are achieved by means of a butter package according to claim 1.

[0033] Nelle allegate figure, con il riferimento 20 Ã ̈ indicata nel suo complesso una confezione per contenere un panetto di burro 50. [0033] In the attached figures, the reference number 20 indicates as a whole a package for containing a stick of butter 50.
[0034] La confezione 20 secondo l’invenzione comprende un vassoio 30 e un coperchio a campana 40. [0034] The package 20 according to the invention comprises a tray 30 and a bell lid 40.
[0035] Il vassoio 30 secondo l’invenzione comprende una pluralità di rilievi 31 disposti lungo il bordo esterno 32 e adatti a definire una sede 33 per il panetto di burro 50, così da trattenerlo in posizione. I rilievi 31 sono inoltre adatti a definire tra loro delle zone libere 34 in cui il panetto di burro 50 à ̈ esposto, così da poter essere facilmente tagliato con un coltello 51. [0035] The tray 30 according to the invention comprises a plurality of reliefs 31 arranged along the outer edge 32 and suitable for defining a seat 33 for the stick of butter 50, so as to hold it in position. The reliefs 31 are also suitable for defining free areas 34 between them in which the stick of butter 50 is exposed, so that it can be easily cut with a knife 51.
[0036] Il vassoio 30 e il coperchio a campana 40 secondo l’invenzione comprendono mezzi di chiusura a tenuta. [0036] The tray 30 and the bell lid 40 according to the invention comprise sealing means.
[0037] Il coperchio a campana 40 secondo l’invenzione à ̈ adatto a coprire i rilievi 31 del vassoio 30 e il panetto di burro 50 quando questo sia posto nella sede 33. [0037] The bell lid 40 according to the invention is suitable for covering the reliefs 31 of the tray 30 and the stick of butter 50 when this is placed in the seat 33.
[0038] Nella descrizione che segue si farà riferimento alla confezione 20 orientata nel modo corretto, ad esempio come illustrato nelle figure 11, 12 e 15. In tali figure à ̈ mostrata infatti la confezione 20 stabilmente appoggiata su una superficie di appoggio 52 in modo che il panetto di burro rimanga per gravità nella sede 33. In questo contesto, i termini “superiore†, “alto†e simili si riferiscono ad una posizione relativamente lontana dal piano della superficie di appoggio 52. Al contrario, i termini “inferiore†, “basso†, e simili si riferiscono ad una posizione relativamente vicina al piano della superficie di appoggio 52. Inoltre i termini “interno†, “dentro†e simili si riferiscono ad una posizione relativamente vicina al panetto di burro 50, mentre i termini “esterno†, “fuori†, e simili si riferiscono ad una posizione relativamente lontana da esso. [0038] In the following description, reference will be made to the package 20 oriented in the correct way, for example as illustrated in Figures 11, 12 and 15. These figures show the package 20 stably resting on a supporting surface 52 so as to that the stick of butter remains by gravity in the seat 33. In this context, the terms â € œtopâ €, â € œtopâ € and the like refer to a position relatively far from the plane of the supporting surface 52. On the contrary, the terms â € œlowerâ €, â € œlowerâ €, and the like refer to a position relatively close to the plane of the supporting surface 52. Furthermore, the terms â € œinternalâ €, â € œinsideâ € and the like refer to a position relatively close to the block of butter 50, while the terms â € œoutsideâ €, â € œoutsideâ €, and the like refer to a position relatively far from it.
[0039] Con l’espressione “chiusura a tenuta†si intende qui di seguito una chiusura adatta a limitare sensibilmente il trasferimento di fluidi tra l’interno e l’esterno della confezione 20 quando questa à ̈ chiusa. La tenuta cui si fa riferimento à ̈ dunque da intendersi nei termini comunemente accettati per lo specifico settore tecnico. [0039] The expression â € œtight sealâ € hereinafter means a closure suitable for significantly limiting the transfer of fluids between the inside and outside of the package 20 when it is closed. The seal referred to is therefore to be understood in the terms commonly accepted for the specific technical sector.
[0040] In accordo con la forma di realizzazione rappresentata nelle figure allegate, i mezzi di chiusura a tenuta comprendono nervature 35, predisposte in prossimità del bordo esterno 32 del vassoio 30, e un orlo sagomato 41, predisposto sul coperchio a campana 40. Le nervature 35 del vassoio 30 e l’orlo sagomato 41 del coperchio a campana 40 sono adatti ad interagire tra loro così da realizzare, oltre alla chiusura a tenuta, anche una chiusura a scatto. [0040] In accordance with the embodiment shown in the attached figures, the sealing means comprise ribs 35, arranged in proximity to the outer edge 32 of the tray 30, and a shaped edge 41, arranged on the bell-shaped lid 40. The ribs 35 of the tray 30 and the shaped rim 41 of the bell lid 40 are suitable for interacting with each other so as to provide, in addition to the sealing, also a snap closure.
[0041] Vantaggiosamente, la chiusura a scatto determina anche un vincolo meccanico, facilmente rimuovibile dall’utilizzatore, tra il vassoio 30 e il coperchio a campana 40. Tale vincolo meccanico à ̈ sufficiente ad impedire aperture accidentali della confezione 20. [0041] Advantageously, the snap closure also determines a mechanical constraint, easily removable by the user, between the tray 30 and the bell lid 40. This mechanical constraint is sufficient to prevent accidental opening of the package 20.
[0042] In accordo con le forme di realizzazione mostrate nelle figure allegate, l’orlo sagomato 41 può essere formato da un ripiegamento dell’estremità inferiore della parete laterale. Si vedano a questo proposito le figure 9, 11-12 e in particolare il dettaglio di figura 13. [0042] In accordance with the embodiments shown in the attached figures, the shaped rim 41 can be formed by a folding of the lower end of the side wall. In this regard, see figures 9, 11-12 and in particular the detail of figure 13.
[0043] In accordo con altre forme di realizzazione, l’orlo sagomato 41 può essere formato in modo differente, ad esempio tramite un ispessimento dell’estremità inferiore della parete laterale del coperchio a campana 40. [0043] In accordance with other embodiments, the shaped rim 41 can be formed in a different way, for example by thickening the lower end of the side wall of the bell lid 40.
[0044] In accordo con forme di realizzazione alternative della presente invenzione, i mezzi di chiusura tra vassoio 30 e coperchio a campana 40 possono essere realizzati con altre modalità in sé note al tecnico del ramo. Ad esempio, in accordo con una possibile forma di realizzazione non mostrata nelle figure allegate, l’orlo del coperchio a campana 40 può essere predisposto con rilievi interni adatti ad accoppiarsi con rispettive sedi predisposte sul vassoio 30 in prossimità del bordo esterno 32. Anche tale soluzione à ̈ adatta a fornire una chiusura a scatto. [0044] In accordance with alternative embodiments of the present invention, the closing means between tray 30 and bell lid 40 can be made with other methods known per se to those skilled in the art. For example, in accordance with a possible embodiment not shown in the attached figures, the rim of the bell lid 40 can be arranged with internal reliefs suitable for coupling with respective seats arranged on the tray 30 near the outer edge 32. Also this solution is suitable for providing a snap closure.
[0045] In accordo con altre possibili forme di realizzazione, i mezzi di chiusura possono essere realizzati in altri modi noti al tecnico del ramo, ad esempio mediante un lembo adesivo riposizionabile, o mediante altre soluzioni adatte a garantire la tenuta ai fluidi e, preferibilmente, un vincolo meccanico tra vassoio 30 e coperchio a acmpana 40. [0045] In accordance with other possible embodiments, the closing means can be made in other ways known to the person skilled in the art, for example by means of a repositionable adhesive flap, or by other solutions suitable for guaranteeing sealing to fluids and, preferably , a mechanical bond between tray 30 and acmpana lid 40.
[0046] Come già riportato sopra, il vassoio 30, oltre a definire un piano di appoggio per il panetto di burro 50, comprende anche una pluralità di rilievi 31 disposti lungo il bordo esterno 32. Nella forma di realizzazione illustrata nelle figure allegate sono presenti sei di tali rilievi 31 (si veda ad esempio figura 2): quattro rilievi hanno una conformazione angolare e sono posti agli angoli del bordo esterno 32, in modo da seguirne l’andamento; altri due rilievi hanno invece una conformazione lineare e sono posti in prossimità del punto medio del lato lungo del vassoio 30. [0046] As already reported above, the tray 30, in addition to defining a support surface for the stick of butter 50, also comprises a plurality of reliefs 31 arranged along the outer edge 32. In the embodiment illustrated in the attached figures there are six of these reliefs 31 (see for example Figure 2): four reliefs have an angular conformation and are placed at the corners of the outer edge 32, so as to follow its course; two other reliefs, on the other hand, have a linear conformation and are placed near the midpoint of the long side of tray 30.
[0047] In accordo con altre forme di realizzazione i rilievi 31 possono essere presenti in numero differente, purché riescano a definire una sede 33 all’interno della quale il panetto di burro 50 possa essere trattenuto in posizione. In altre parole i rilievi 31 forniscono al panetto di burro 50, almeno quando esso à ̈ intero, un saldo appoggio perimetrale in modo che esso non possa muoversi nel piano di appoggio definito dal vassoio 30. Tale funzione dei rilievi 31 à ̈ chiaramente mostrata nelle figure 1 e 6 e soprattutto nelle figure 9 e 12, dalle quali si apprezza come il panetto di burro 50 sia accolto sostanzialmente senza gioco nella sede 33. [0047] In accordance with other embodiments, the projections 31 can be present in different numbers, as long as they are able to define a seat 33 inside which the stick of butter 50 can be held in position. In other words, the reliefs 31 provide the stick of butter 50, at least when it is whole, with a firm perimeter support so that it cannot move in the support plane defined by the tray 30. This function of the reliefs 31 is clearly shown in the Figures 1 and 6 and especially in Figures 9 and 12, from which it can be appreciated how the stick of butter 50 is received substantially without play in the seat 33.
[0048] I rilievi 31, soprattutto quelli posti lungo il lato, forniscono inoltre un punto di appoggio per le dita dell’utilizzatore che può così afferrare il vassoio 30 e trattenere saldamente il panetto di burro 50 senza per questo venire direttamente in contatto con esso e quindi senza ungersi. [0048] The reliefs 31, especially those placed along the side, also provide a resting point for the user's fingers who can thus grasp the tray 30 and firmly hold the stick of butter 50 without thereby coming into direct contact with it and therefore without anointing.
[0049] Sul lato interno dei rilievi 31, in accordo con alcune forme di realizzazione dell’invenzione, sono presenti delle sporgenze 36 che creano un aggetto verso l’interno della sede 33 destinata a contenere il panetto di burro. [0049] On the internal side of the reliefs 31, in accordance with some embodiments of the invention, there are protrusions 36 which create a projection towards the inside of the seat 33 intended to contain the butter stick.
[0050] Tali sporgenze 36 hanno una duplice funzione. Innanzitutto hanno lo scopo di fornire una superficie di appoggio quando, nelle fasi precedenti il confezionamento del burro, i vassoi 30 vuoti sono impilati l’uno sull’altro. Tale situazione à ̈ ben rappresentata nel dettaglio di figura 14, dove si può vedere come ciascun vassoio 30 appoggi sulle sporgenze 36 e sulle nervature 35 del vassoio inferiore. [0050] These protrusions 36 have a dual function. First of all, they have the purpose of providing a support surface when, in the stages preceding the packaging of the butter, the empty trays 30 are stacked one on top of the other. This situation is well represented in the detail of figure 14, where it can be seen how each tray 30 rests on the projections 36 and on the ribs 35 of the lower tray.
[0051] Come la persona esperta può ben notare, l’impilabilità dei vassoi 30 secondo l’invenzione costituisce un notevole vantaggio per l’economia delle fasi precedenti il confezionamento del burro. [0051] As the skilled person can well note, the stackability of the trays 30 according to the invention constitutes a considerable advantage for the economy of the stages preceding the packaging of the butter.
[0052] Un altro scopo delle sporgenze 36 à ̈ poi quello di aiutare a trattenere il burro in posizione rispetto a movimenti verso l’alto, in allontanamento dal piano di appoggio definito dal vassoio 30. Come si può ben notare nella parte bassa di figura 12, al momento dell’inserimento del panetto di burro 50 nella sede 33 definita dal vassoio, la presenza delle sporgenze 36 determina il formarsi di incavi complementari 56 nel panetto di burro 50. L’accoppiamento di forma tra le sporgenze 36 e gli incavi 56 determina un vincolo per il panetto di burro 50 rispetto ai movimenti indesiderati verso l’alto. Tale vincolo tuttavia, grazie alla forma inclinata delle sporgenze 36 e grazie alla consistenza tipica del burro, non rappresenta alcun problema per l’utilizzatore che volesse intenzionalmente asportare il panetto di burro 50, anche intero, dal vassoio 30. [0052] Another purpose of the protrusions 36 is then to help to hold the butter in position with respect to upward movements, away from the support surface defined by the tray 30. As can be seen in the lower part of Figure 12, when inserting the stick of butter 50 into the seat 33 defined by the tray, the presence of the protrusions 36 determines the formation of complementary recesses 56 in the stick of butter 50. The shape coupling between the protrusions 36 and the hollows 56 determine a constraint for the stick of butter 50 with respect to unwanted upward movements. However, this constraint, thanks to the inclined shape of the projections 36 and thanks to the typical consistency of butter, does not represent any problem for the user who intentionally wanted to remove the stick of butter 50, even whole, from the tray 30.
[0053] In accordo con alcune forme di realizzazione, il vassoio 30 riporta una scala graduata 37 che consente al consumatore di tagliare il panetto di burro 50 in pezzi di dimensioni controllate. [0053] In accordance with some embodiments, the tray 30 has a graduated scale 37 which allows the consumer to cut the stick of butter 50 into pieces of controlled size.
[0054] Preferibilmente il vassoio 30 à ̈ realizzato in un materiale polimerico adatto al contatto con gli alimenti. Un materiale adatto a questo uso à ̈ ad esempio il polieteretereftalato (PET). Altri materiali adatti possono ad esempio essere il polietilene (PE), il polivinilidencloruro (PVDC), o il polistirene (PS). [0054] Preferably the tray 30 is made of a polymeric material suitable for contact with food. A suitable material for this use is for example polyetheretherphthalate (PET). Other suitable materials can for example be polyethylene (PE), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), or polystyrene (PS).
[0055] Il vassoio 30 in materiale polimerico può vantaggiosamente essere prodotto mediante procedimenti tecnologici in sé noti che garantiscano la precisione e l’economia di scala tipiche di questo settore merceologico. Ad esempio il vassoio 30 può essere prodotto per stampaggio ad iniezione o per termoformatura. [0055] The tray 30 in polymeric material can advantageously be produced by means of known technological processes which guarantee the precision and economy of scale typical of this product sector. For example, tray 30 can be produced by injection molding or by thermoforming.
[0056] Il coperchio a campana 40 comprende preferibilmente una parete superiore e una parete laterale, adatte a racchiudere un volume all’interno del quale può trovare spazio il panetto di burro 50 e parte del vassoio 30. [0056] The bell-shaped lid 40 preferably comprises an upper wall and a side wall, suitable for enclosing a volume inside which the stick of butter 50 and part of the tray 30 can find space.
[0057] La parete superiore e la parete laterale del coperchio a campana 40 sono preferibilmente piatte, in modo da poter accogliere la stampa e/o l’etichettatura che riportano i dati relativi al burro utili al consumatore. [0057] The upper wall and the side wall of the bell lid 40 are preferably flat, so as to be able to accommodate the printing and / or labeling showing the data relating to the butter useful to the consumer.
[0058] Preferibilmente il coperchio a campana 40 à ̈ realizzato in un materiale poliaccoppiato adatto al contatto con gli alimenti. Un materiale adatto a questo uso à ̈ ad esempio il cartone accoppiato ad un foglio di polietilene, eventualmente di polietilene metallizzato, oppure accoppiato ad un foglio di polietilene (PE) e ad un ulteriore foglio di alluminio (Al). [0058] The bell lid 40 is preferably made of a polylaminate material suitable for contact with food. A suitable material for this use is for example cardboard coupled to a sheet of polyethylene, possibly of metallized polyethylene, or coupled to a sheet of polyethylene (PE) and to a further aluminum sheet (Al).
[0059] Preferibilmente, e in modo in sé noto, la superficie esterna del materiale poliaccoppiato à ̈ costituita da cartone, mentre il polietilene e/o l’alluminio sono posti sulla superficie interna. Ancora più preferibilmente, il cartone esterno ha una finitura ruvida o comunque adatta a facilitare la presa della confezione anche con una sola mano. [0059] Preferably, and in a per se known manner, the external surface of the polylaminate material consists of cardboard, while the polyethylene and / or aluminum are placed on the internal surface. Even more preferably, the outer carton has a rough finish or in any case suitable to facilitate gripping the package even with one hand.
[0060] Altri materiali adatti alla realizzazione del coperchio a campana 40 possono essere ad esempio gli stessi polimeri indicati sopra per il vassoio 30. [0060] Other materials suitable for making the bell lid 40 can be for example the same polymers indicated above for the tray 30.
[0061] Come la persona esperta avrà ben potuto apprezzare dalla descrizione precedente, le caratteristiche tecniche della confezione 20 secondo l’invenzione consentono di ottenere considerevoli vantaggi rispetto alla tecnica nota. [0061] As the skilled person will have been able to appreciate from the preceding description, the technical characteristics of the package 20 according to the invention allow to obtain considerable advantages with respect to the known art.
[0062] La confezione 20 secondo l’invenzione garantisce una chiusura salda e affidabile. In particolare, la conformazione specifica dell’orlo sagomato 41 e delle nervature 35 à ̈ in grado di definire per la confezione 20 una chiusura a tenuta, almeno nei termini comunemente accettati per lo specifico settore tecnico. La relativa ermeticità della chiusura, limitando sensibilmente il trasferimento di aria, odori e umidità , consente un’ottima conservazione del prodotto, tanto nelle fasi di stoccaggio, distribuzione e vendita, quanto nella successiva fase di consumo da parte dell’utilizzatore finale. [0062] The package 20 according to the invention guarantees a firm and reliable closure. In particular, the specific conformation of the shaped edge 41 and of the ribs 35 is capable of defining a tight seal for the package 20, at least in the terms commonly accepted for the specific technical sector. The relative tightness of the closure, significantly limiting the transfer of air, odors and humidity, allows an excellent conservation of the product, both in the storage, distribution and sale phases, and in the subsequent consumption phase by the end user.
[0063] La presenza delle zone libere 34 definite dai rilievi 31, consentono di poter facilmente tagliare il panetto di burro 50 con un coltello 51. Si veda a questo specifico proposito la figura 15, dove à ̈ mostrato schematicamente come la lama di un coltello 51 possa agevolmente tagliare il panetto di burro 50 in modo pressoché completo. [0063] The presence of the free areas 34 defined by the reliefs 31, make it possible to easily cut the stick of butter 50 with a knife 51. For this specific purpose, see figure 15, where it is schematically shown as the blade of a knife 51 can easily cut the stick of butter 50 almost completely.
[0064] La struttura del vassoio 30 descritto sopra à ̈ tale che esso non si danneggi a seguito dei ripetuti contatti con il coltello 51 impiegato dal consumatore per tagliare il burro. Inoltre il vassoio 30 fornisce un valido appoggio per il taglio, senza alcuna necessità per il consumatore di impiegare una stoviglia complementare quale un piatto, un vassoio o un tagliere. [0064] The structure of the tray 30 described above is such that it is not damaged by repeated contact with the knife 51 used by the consumer to cut the butter. Furthermore, the tray 30 provides a valid support for cutting, without any need for the consumer to use a complementary dish such as a plate, a tray or a cutting board.
[0065] La confezione 20 nel suo complesso à ̈ realizzata in modo tale da conformarsi in modo piuttosto preciso al panetto di burro 50, così da limitare sensibilmente gli ingombri rispetto ad una burriera tradizionale. Tale compattezza della confezione 20 consente in particolare che quest’ultima possa essere facilmente maneggiata con una mano sola da parte del consumatore. [0065] The package 20 as a whole is made in such a way as to conform rather precisely to the stick of butter 50, so as to considerably limit the overall dimensions with respect to a traditional butter dish. This compactness of the package 20 allows in particular that the latter can be easily handled with one hand by the consumer.
[0066] Si noti come la scala graduata 37 riesca ad ottenere una particolare utilità quando applicata alla confezione 20 secondo l’invenzione rispetto a quanto potesse fare con le altre confezioni di tipo noto. Infatti la scala graduata 37 riportata sul vassoio 30 rimane integra durante tutta la fase del consumo da parte dell’utilizzatore finale. A differenza di quella riportata a volte sull’involucro di carta di tipo noto, la scala graduata 37 secondo l’invenzione à ̈ dunque in grado di fornire un riferimento affidabile durante tutta la fase del consumo finale. Inoltre, a differenza delle scale graduate a volte riportate sulle burriere tradizionali, la scala graduata 37 secondo l’invenzione à ̈ tracciata con riferimento alle dimensioni specifiche del panetto di burro 50 che à ̈ effettivamente contenuto nella confezione. In questo modo la scala graduata 37 à ̈ in grado di fornire informazioni molto più precise al consumatore. [0066] It should be noted how the graduated scale 37 is able to obtain a particular utility when applied to the package 20 according to the invention compared to what it could do with the other packages of known type. In fact, the graduated scale 37 shown on the tray 30 remains intact during the entire phase of consumption by the end user. Unlike that sometimes reported on the paper wrapping of a known type, the graduated scale 37 according to the invention is therefore able to provide a reliable reference throughout the final consumption phase. Furthermore, unlike the graduated scales sometimes reported on traditional butter dishes, the graduated scale 37 according to the invention is drawn with reference to the specific dimensions of the stick of butter 50 that is actually contained in the package. In this way the graduated scale 37 is able to provide much more precise information to the consumer.
[0067] L’impiego della confezione 20 secondo l’invenzione risulta ulteriormente confortevole grazie alla presenza dei rilievi 31. Essi infatti, come descritto sopra, forniscono un punto di appoggio per le dita del consumatore che può così afferrare il vassoio 30 anche con una mano sola e può così trattenere saldamente il panetto di burro 50 senza venire a diretto contatto con esso e quindi senza ungersi. [0067] The use of the package 20 according to the invention is further comfortable thanks to the presence of the reliefs 31. In fact, as described above, they provide a resting point for the consumer's fingers who can thus grasp the tray 30 even with one hand and can thus firmly hold the stick of butter 50 without coming into direct contact with it and therefore without greasing.
[0068] Come la persona esperta avrà potuto apprezzare dalla descrizione che precede, la confezione 20 secondo l’invenzione à ̈ sufficientemente economica da poter essere utilizzata come confezione monouso al posto dell’involucro in carta. Al tempo stesso la confezione 20 secondo l’invenzione à ̈ sufficientemente robusta da poter sostituire la burriera tradizionale anche nelle fasi di consumo, tanto per la conservazione in frigorifero quanto per l’uso in tavola da parte dell’utilizzatore finale. [0068] As the skilled person will have been able to appreciate from the foregoing description, the package 20 according to the invention is cheap enough to be used as a disposable package instead of the paper wrapper. At the same time, the packaging 20 according to the invention is sufficiently robust to be able to replace the traditional butter dish even in the consumption phases, both for storage in the refrigerator and for use on the table by the end user.
[0069] Si noti infine, ad esempio nelle figure 12 e 13, come le confezioni 20 secondo l’invenzioni siano perfettamente impilabili l’una sull’altra. [0069] Finally, it should be noted, for example in Figures 12 and 13, how the packages 20 according to the invention are perfectly stackable one on top of the other.
[0070] Ovviamente, alla confezione 20 secondo la presente invenzione, un tecnico del ramo, allo scopo di soddisfare esigenze contingenti e specifiche, potrà apportare ulteriori modifiche e varianti, tutte peraltro contenute nell’ambito di protezione dell’invenzione, quale definito dalle seguenti rivendicazioni. [0070] Obviously, to the package 20 according to the present invention, a person skilled in the art, in order to satisfy contingent and specific needs, can make further modifications and variations, all of which are contained within the scope of protection of the invention, as defined from the following claims.
