Definitions
- the present invention relates to a package for use with convenience foods more particularly take out food including hamburger .
- a collar arrangement can be used to surround the periphery of the bottom bun. Fillings are then systematically added and the collar prevents excess from spilling out of the side of the bun.
- the collar solution described above does not solve the problem for a customer of actually eating a burger in a tidy manner.
- a foodstuff package including a foodstuff gripping section to (in use) at least partially engage about a peripheral side edge of an assembled item of foodstuff, and means to locate and maintain said gripping section with the foodstuff item prior to consumption of the foodstuff .
- packaging of the type described herein could be used with a variety of foods, more particularly takeaway foods, e.g. hamburgers, kebabs, sandwiches and the like.
- Figure 1 illustrates a general view of the typical use situation for a hamburger package according to the present invention
- Figure 2 is a pattern view of the hamburger package according to the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a general view of a hamburger, utilising the present invention, ready for eating,
- Figures 4 - 7 are general and orthographic views of construction of a second embodiment of the hamburger package according to the present invention.
- Figure 8 is a plan view of a paperboard blank for a third embodiment according to the present invention.
- Figure 1 best illustrates a typical usage situation where a fast food customer would expect to encounter a hamburger package according to the present invention.
- the novel hamburger package is generally denoted 10.
- Familiar food products accompanying the hamburger B are French fries F and a soft drink D.
- Hamburger B is often supplied to the customer in a paperboard box package P as illustrated.
- hamburgers are increasingly supplied in a paper wrapper.
- the packaging is for temporarily storing the hamburger and retaining heat .
- hamburger B is surrounded by a collar 11 which forms part of a gripping portion 10.
- a top wall formed from two overlapping substantially oval or egg shaped elements 12a and 12b.
- a bottom wall formed from elements 13a and 13b ( Figures 2 and 7) .
- elements 12a, 12b, 13a, and 13b combine with a part lib of wall 11 to form the foodstuff gripping section.
- the collar 11 and bottom wall 13a/13b may be formed into a circular wall with a partial base.
- Top wall 12a/12b may remain 'unfolded' to allow firstly a bottom bun and then subsequent fillings to be added into the collar 11, finally topped with a sesame seed bun.
- hamburger B has been constructed within collar 11 without fillings spilling out of the side of the burger.
- Top wall elements 12a/l2b may then be folded down to form a partial cover for the hamburger B, thereby completing the assembly operation.
- Hamburger B and its package 10/11 may be wrapped or placed in paperboard box P for presentation to a customer as illustrated by Figure 1.
- Figure 2 illustrates a paperboard blank from which a hamburger package can be formed.
- the total length of the blank is about 390mm.
- Paperboard exhibits the necessary stiffness to form a suitably strong package as would be required for a single use.
- materials such as plastic could be used to form the package or even an edible material to accompany the burger .
- the first step of assembling hamburger package is forming cylindrical collar 11.
- the distal end 14 includes a food grade contact adhesive 15 to be adhered to end 16 of collar length 11.
- a slit or line 17 is provided as a guide for the edge of end 14 determine the correct diameter of collar 11.
- FIG 8 or forming the joining of the lid and base of the packaging appearing in Figure 1) .
- Substantially oval or egg shaped elements 13a/l3b may be creased where each protrudes from collar 11 to overlap .
- Contact adhesive 18 then forms a bond to hold elements 13a/13b in place .
- the hamburger B may be assembled, following which "top" wall elements 12a and 12b may be creased and adhered together (by adhesive 19) to form a partial cover over the sesame seed bun.
- Hamburger B is ready to eat, the principal advantages of the package being that it provides a gripping section 10 i.e. a place to hold the burger (between top and bottom walls 12/13) and the 'back' wall (the remaining portion lib of collar 11) to prevent or contain spillage from the rear of the burger as it is eaten from the front .
- a gripping section 10 i.e. a place to hold the burger (between top and bottom walls 12/13) and the 'back' wall (the remaining portion lib of collar 11) to prevent or contain spillage from the rear of the burger as it is eaten from the front .
- Figures 4 to 7 illustrate the appearance of package 10 with collar portion 11a removed. Figures 4 to 7 also illustrate an alternative embodiment where collar portion 11a is not provided at all . Such an embodiment may be applicable depending on the requirements of the fast food business or where assembly of a hamburger is not otherwise an issue.
- the hamburger B is constructed in the usual manner to the stage that it is ready to be wrapped. Before wrapping (e.g. in a conventional paper wrapper) the package 10 is fitted. Firstly, wall elements 13a and 13b are folded and adhered in closed position or secured using slotted arrangement . The hamburger B is placed on the package and walls 12a are folded down on top of the hamburger. The hamburger and package are then enclosed in the usual paper wrap.
- the package could be supplied to the customer assembled but not fitted to the hamburger or completely unassembled for the customer to assemble and fit to the hamburger.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a paper-board blank utilising a slot arrangement. No adhesive is required to maintain the holder together. The interlinking nature of slots 21 and 22 will be apparent from Figure 8.
- Future embodiments may also only require a single wall in place of 12a/12b and 13a/l3b attached at one wall.
- packaging in addition to its practical advantage, may also be branded accordingly (name of the burger etc) and include any other desirable information.
- the removable collar section may also have covering panels extending therefrom that completely enclose the burger. Perforations can then separate the covering walls to end up with a hamburger gripping portion 10 as illustrated. This method avoids the need for any paper wrapper or larger paperboard bo .
- Yet a further embodiment may rely on a two-piece package that slides together to encapsulate the burger like a pharmaceutical capsule.
- the one piece that remains of the package then has the features of the gripping portion 10 as illustrated.
- the hamburger package of the present invention facilitates consumption of a hamburger, particularly in situations such as when driving a vehicle (leading to greater safety) . Not only is the hamburger filling more reliably retained in the burger, sauces are generally captured or absorbed by the packaging to avoid it escaping onto hands/laps etc.
