Description

EMBALLAGE ALIMENTAIRE FORMANT MOYEN DE PREHENSION DE SON CONTENU FOOD PACKAGING FORMING MEANS OF GRIPPING ITS CONTENT
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des emballages alimentaires pour la restauration rapide, par exemple pour les sandwiches ou analogues. La présente invention se rapporte plus particulièrement à un emballage destiné à offrir une solution pour manger un sandwich, ou analogue, sans se salir ou laisser tomber des parties du sandwich.The present invention relates to the field of food packaging for fast food, for example for sandwiches or the like. The present invention relates more particularly to a packaging intended to offer a solution for eating a sandwich, or the like, without getting dirty or dropping parts of the sandwich.
Un grand nombre de systèmes ont été développés pour proposer des solutions à la restauration rapide, en vue de proposer un moyen non salissant lors de l'alimentation de l'utilisateur.A large number of systems have been developed to offer solutions for fast food, with a view to providing a non-dirtying means when feeding the user.
L'art antérieur connaît déjà, par le brevet US 5042666, un emballage sensiblement cylindrique formé d'une pluralité de bandes parallèles. Au fur et à mesure que l'utilisateur mange son sandwich, il enlève une bande après l'autre pour avoir accès à son sandwich. Ce système est pratique pour des sandwiches de type baguette, mais ne peut être envisagé pour d'autres type de sandwiches, notamment des sandwiches sensiblement cylindriques.The prior art already knows, from US Pat. No. 5,042,666, a substantially cylindrical package formed from a plurality of parallel strips. As the user eats his sandwich, he removes one strip after another to gain access to his sandwich. This system is practical for baguette-type sandwiches, but cannot be envisaged for other types of sandwiches, in particular substantially cylindrical sandwiches.
Le brevet FR 2665882 divulgue un boîtier parallélépipédique disposant d'une ouverture et d'une languette à introduire dans des prédécoupes réalisées dans le boîtier pour faire avancer le sandwich hors de son logement au fur et à mesure que l'utilisateur le mange. Cette solution nécessite que l'utilisateur, tenant d'une main le boîtier avec le sandwich, utilise son autre main pour faire sortir le sandwich grâce à la languette. Ce système n'est évidemment pas pratique pour l'utilisateur. Il est proposé, dans la demande de brevet WO 03010049 un emballage conçu pour des denrées alimentaires prêtes à la consommation telles que des hamburgers/sandwiches . Cet emballage comporte une partie de maintien de la denrée alimentaire constituée d'une paroi pourvue de rabats supérieurs saillants de rabats inférieurs saillants correspondants. Ces différents éléments permettent de maintenir une denrée alimentaire. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de la présente invention, cet emballage comprend en outre une paroi amovible qui se combine avec ladite paroi pour constituer un collier. Une solution très proche de cette demande de brevet est proposée dans le brevet FR 2542186. Ces solutions sont trop complexes, et donc coûteuses, et/ou ne permettent pas une bonne prise en main du sandwich, ou analogue.The patent FR 2665882 discloses a parallelepipedic box having an opening and a tongue to be inserted in pre-cuts made in the box to advance the sandwich out of its housing as the user eats it. This solution requires that the user, holding the housing with the sandwich in one hand, use his other hand to release the sandwich using the tab. This system is obviously not practical for the user. It is proposed, in patent application WO 03010049, a packaging designed for ready-to-eat foodstuffs such as hamburgers / sandwiches. This packaging comprises a part for holding the foodstuff consisting of a wall provided with projecting upper flaps with corresponding projecting lower flaps. These various elements make it possible to maintain a foodstuff. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, this package further comprises a removable wall which combines with said wall to form a collar. A solution very close to this patent application is proposed in patent FR 2542186. These solutions are too complex, and therefore expensive, and / or do not allow a good grip of the sandwich, or the like.
Il est également proposé, dans le brevet US 6290121, un emballage formé d'un support et d'un couvercle comportant une pluralité de découpes destinées à être enlevé les unes après les autres au fur et à mesure que l'utilisateur mange son sandwich. Cette solution nécessite un grand nombre de découpes sur l'emballage, ce qui le fragilise. De plus, l'utilisateur doit constamment enlever les découpes de son emballage pour pouvoir continuer à manger son sandwich, ce qui est long et fastidieux lorsqu'on est en train de s'alimenter. La présente invention entend remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant une solution simple permettant à un utilisateur de tenir fermement son sandwich avec une ou deux mains, sans nécessiter d'opération ultérieure lors de la dégustation. Pour ce faire, la présente invention concerne un emballage alimentaire, comportant une partie formant support pour le support d'un sandwich, ou analogue, et une partie formant couvercle, les deux parties étant solidaires par au moins une charnière formant un axe d'ouverture/fermeture de ladite partie formant couvercle, caractérisé en ce que les deux parties comportent respectivement au moins une ligne de prédécoupe reliant deux bords opposés de sorte qu'une partie de l'emballage soit détachable et forme un moyen de préhension, formant pince, du susdit sandwich, ou analogue.It is also proposed, in US Pat. No. 6,290,121, a packaging formed by a support and a cover comprising a plurality of cutouts intended to be removed one after the other as the user eats his sandwich. This solution requires a large number of cuts on the packaging, which weakens it. In addition, the user must constantly remove the cutouts from its packaging to be able to continue to eat his sandwich, which is long and tedious when eating. The present invention intends to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a simple solution allowing a user to firmly hold his sandwich with one or two hands, without requiring any subsequent operation during tasting. To do this, the present invention relates to a food packaging, comprising a support part for supporting a sandwich, or the like, and a cover part, the two parts being secured by at least one hinge forming an opening axis. / closing said lid-forming part, characterized in that the two parts respectively comprise at least one pre-cut line connecting two opposite edges so that part of the packaging is detachable and forms a gripping means, forming a clamp, of the said sandwich, or the like.
On entend par « sandwich » tout aliment consommable susceptible de tenir dans un emballage et d'être tenu à une ou deux mains, qu'il soit salé ou sucré.“Sandwich” means any consumable food capable of holding in a package and being held with one or two hands, whether salty or sweet.
De préférence, la partie détachable comprendra la susdite charnière. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les deux lignes de prédécoupe seront symétriques par rapport au plan médian entre les deux parties, couvercle et support, lorsque l'emballage est en position fermée. Selon une possibilité offerte par l'invention, la partie détachable présentera une forme de U.Preferably, the detachable part will comprise the above-mentioned hinge. According to one embodiment of the invention, the two precut lines will be symmetrical with respect to the median plane between the two parts, cover and support, when the packaging is in the closed position. According to a possibility offered by the invention, the detachable part will have a U shape.
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la partie détachable pourra comprendre deux ailes latérales et une bande frontale perpendiculaire aux dites ailes latérales.According to one embodiment of the invention, the detachable part may include two lateral wings and a front strip perpendicular to said lateral wings.
Avantageusement, la partie détachable comprendra deux cornières fixées à la bande frontale et respectivement à l'une des ailes latérales. De préférence, la partie détachable comprendra également une prédécoupe centrale apte à définir deux parties de dimensions sensiblement égales.Advantageously, the detachable part will comprise two angles fixed to the front strip and respectively to one of the lateral wings. Preferably, the detachable part will also include a central precut capable of defining two parts of substantially equal dimensions.
Grâce à l'invention, il est dorénavant possible, simplement et pour un surcoût de fabrication quasiment nulle, de manger son sandwich sans se salir en le tenant bien fermement.Thanks to the invention, it is now possible, simply and for almost no additional manufacturing cost, to eat your sandwich without getting dirty by holding it firmly.
On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description, faite ci-après à titre purement explicatif, d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention, en référence aux figures annexées : - la figure 1 illustre schématiquement une vue de dessus de l'emballage selon l'invention avec ses lignes de prédécoupes ; et la figure 2 illustre schématiquement une vue en coupe de la partie détachable avec un morceau de sandwich prêt à être mangé.The invention will be better understood using the description, given below for purely explanatory purposes, of an embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended figures: - Figure 1 schematically illustrates a top view packaging according to the invention with its precut lines; and Figure 2 schematically illustrates a sectional view of the detachable part with a piece of sandwich ready to be eaten.
L'emballage 1, dans l'exemple choisi pour illustrer l'invention et visible sur la figure 1, consiste en un emballage alimentaire pour sandwich, de type « Mac Donald » ou « Quick ». En effet, cet emballage 1 comprend un support, non visible sur la figure 1, et un couvercle 2 solidaire l'un de l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière 3. Cette charnière 3 , généralement réalisée dans la même matière que le support ou le couvercle 2, consiste simplement en une bande de scellage entre ledit support et ledit couvercle 2.The packaging 1, in the example chosen to illustrate the invention and visible in FIG. 1, consists of a food packaging for sandwich, of the "Mac Donald" or "Quick" type. In fact, this packaging 1 comprises a support, not visible in FIG. 1, and a cover 2 secured to one another by means of a hinge 3. This hinge 3, generally made of the same material as the support or the cover 2, simply consists of a sealing strip between the said support and the said cover 2.
L'emballage 1 est réalisé dans n'importe quelle matière autorisant la réalisation de prédécoupes, en l'occurrence l'emballage 1 sera en matière plastique de type polyéthylène expansé, polyester ou tout autre polymère plastique adapté.The packaging 1 is made of any material allowing the production of pre-cuts, in this case the packaging 1 will be made of plastic such as expanded polyethylene, polyester or any other suitable plastic polymer.
La partie formant support, tout comme la partie formant couvercle 2, présente une forme de pyramide tronquée à base carrée. En effet, ces parties comprennent une base 4 plane carrée ou rectangulaire dont les bords se prolongent par des sections obliques 5, 6, 6', 7. La partie formant support comprend un orifice pour l'introduction d'une languette 8 présente sur l'un de ses bords 5, généralement le bord opposé à la charnière 3, de manière à fermer l'emballage 1 lorsque la partie formant couvercle 2 est en contact avec la partie formant support. Bien entendu, tout autre type de fermeture pourra être envisagé car cette dernière n'a aucune incidence sur le principe de l'invention, tout comme la forme et la matière des parties formant support et couvercle 2.The support part, like the cover part 2, has the shape of a truncated pyramid with a square base. Indeed, these parts comprise a flat square or rectangular base 4 whose edges are extended by oblique sections 5, 6, 6 ', 7. The support part comprises an orifice for the introduction of a tongue 8 present on the 'one of its edges 5, generally the edge opposite the hinge 3, so as to close the packaging 1 when the cover portion 2 is in contact with the support portion. Of course, any other type of closure could be envisaged since the latter has no effect on the principle of the invention, as does the shape and the material of the parts forming the support and cover 2.
Lorsqu'en position fermée, l'emballage présente un plan médian entre les deux parties, c'est-à-dire que les bases 4 de la partie formant support et de la partie formant couvercle 2 sont parallèles à ce plan et s'étendent sensiblement à une même distance de ce dernier.When in the closed position, the packaging has a median plane between the two parts, that is to say that the bases 4 of the support part and of the cover part 2 are parallel to this plane and extend substantially at the same distance from the latter.
Le cœur de l'invention réside dans la présence de lignes de prédécoupe qui s'étendent tant sur la partie formant support que sur la partie formant couvercle 2. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, mais non exclusif, ces lignes de prédécoupe seront symétrique par rapport au susdit plan médian, c'est-à-dire qu'elles seront sensiblement en regard l'une de l'autre, considérées par rapport à un axe vertical.The heart of the invention resides in the presence of pre-cut lines which extend both on the support part and on the cover part 2. In a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment, these pre-cut lines will be symmetrical by relative to the above median plane, that is to say that they will be substantially opposite one another, considered with respect to a vertical axis.
Les lignes de prédécoupe 8, 9, 10 sont réalisées selon les procédés classiques, bien connues de l'homme du métier, et leurs réalisations ne seront donc pas détaillées plus avant .The precut lines 8, 9, 10 are produced according to conventional methods, well known to those skilled in the art, and their achievements will therefore not be detailed further.
Dans la suite, on ne décrira qu'une seule ligne de prédécoupe, réalisée sur la partie formant couvercle 2, sachant que la ligne de prédécoupe réalisée sur la partie formant support s'étend exactement de la même manière. Néanmoins, on notera que l'invention ne nécessite pas la réalisation de deux lignes de prédécoupe identique et situées en vis-à-vis et peut parfaitement fonctionner avec des lignes de prédécoupe différentes et n'étant nullement en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre.In the following, only one pre-cut line, made on the cover part 2, will be described, knowing that the pre-cut line made on the support part extends in exactly the same way. However, it will be noted that the invention does not require the production of two identical pre-cut lines located opposite and can perfectly work with different pre-cut lines and not being in any way vis-à-vis the one of the other.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la ligne de prédécoupe s'étend à partir d'un des bords 6' latéraux à la charnière 3. Cette première section 8 s'étend perpendiculairement à l'un des bords latéral 6' jusqu'à l'un des côtés de la base 4 de la partie formant couvercle 2. La ligne de prédécoupe 8 s'étend ensuite suivant le côté de cette base 4, définissant une aile latérale, pour ensuite former un arc de cercle 9, définissant une cornière, ici un quart de cercle par exemple d'un rayon compris entre 1 et 2,5 centimètres (cm) et ayant pour centre le point 11 formant un côté de la base 4 le plus proche, protubérant sur la base 4 puis rejoindre un autre côté de la base 4. En coupant la droite médiane X'X, la ligne de prédécoupe 10 suit exactement le trajet symétrique (par rapport à cet axe X'X) jusqu'à l'autre bord latéral opposé 6. La ligne de prédécoupe 10 et le bord 7 forme une bande frontale de la partie détachable 13.In one embodiment, the precut line extends from one of the edges 6 ′ lateral to the hinge 3. This first section 8 extends perpendicular to one of the lateral edges 6 ′ up to the one of the sides of the base 4 of the cover portion 2. The pre-cut line 8 then extends along the side of this base 4, defining a lateral wing, to then form an arc 9, defining an angle, here a quarter of a circle for example with a radius between 1 and 2.5 centimeters (cm) and having as its center point 11 forming one side of the nearest base 4, protruding on base 4 then joining another side of the base 4. By cutting the middle line X'X, the precut line 10 follows exactly the symmetrical path (with respect to this axis X'X) to the other opposite lateral edge 6. The precut line 10 and the edge 7 forms a front strip of the detachable part 13.
Au milieu du côté, par lequel passe la ligne de prédécoupe 10, de la base 4, à l'intersection de la droite médiane X'X et de ce côté, la ligne de prédécoupe 10 se divise d'une part pour continuer telle qu'indiqué précédemment et d'autre part pour former une ligne de prédécoupe central 12 s 'étendant suivant la droite médiane X'X jusqu'à la charnière 3. Cette ligne de prédécoupe centrale 12 secondaire est moins marquée que la ligne de prédécoupe principale 8, 9, 10 de sorte que l'utilisateur découpera tout d'abord l'emballage 1 selon la ligne de prédécoupe principale 8, 9, 10, puis ensuite, si nécessaire, découpera la partie détachable 13, ou détachée, suivant la ligne de prédécoupe secondaire 12.In the middle of the side, through which passes the precut line 10, from the base 4, at the intersection of the middle line X'X and on this side, the precut line 10 divides on the one hand to continue as 'indicated previously and on the other hand to form a central precut line 12 extending along the middle line X'X to the hinge 3. This central precut line 12 secondary is less marked than the main precut line 8, 9 , 10 so that the user will first cut the packaging 1 along the main precut line 8, 9, 10, then then, if necessary, cut the detachable part 13, or detached, along the secondary precut line 12.
Les deux lignes de prédécoupes principales 8, 9, 10, présentes sur la partie formant support et la partie formant couvercle 2, permettent de former une pince dont l'utilisateur se sert pour saisir le sandwich 14 par pression de ses doigts 15 sur la partie supérieure 16 et la partie inférieure 17. L'utilisateur qui aura consommé son sandwich 14 jusqu'à arriver à proximité des bords de la partie détachable 13 utilisera alors la ligne de prédécoupe 12 secondaire pour tenir son sandwich 14, éventuellement seulement par l'une des deux moitiés sensiblement égales de la partie détachable 13 ou avec les différentes parties obtenues par déchirure, ou section, de la ou les ligne(s) de prédécoupe 12 secondaire. Bien entendu, le nombre de lignes de prédécoupe 12 secondaire pourra être bien supérieur et prévoir une possibilité de découpe de la partie détachable 13 en trois, quatre ou cinq portions.The two main precut lines 8, 9, 10, present on the support part and the cover part 2, make it possible to form a clamp which the user uses to grip the sandwich 14 by pressing his fingers 15 on the part upper 16 and lower part 17. The user who has consumed his sandwich 14 until arriving near the edges of the detachable part 13 will then use the secondary precut line 12 to hold his sandwich 14, possibly only by one two substantially equal halves of the detachable part 13 or with the different parts obtained by tearing, or section, of the secondary precut line (s) 12. Of course, the number of secondary precut lines 12 may be much greater and provide for a possibility of cutting the detachable part 13 into three, four or five portions.
On pourra prévoir que la partie détachable 13 consiste en un élément consommable par l'être humain, tels que du pain sans levain, de sorte que l'utilisateur s'en sert pour tenir son sandwich et peut également manger cette partie 13 sans crainte. Le. goût sera alors généralement salé pour ne pas perturber les saveurs du sandwich 14, ou sucré quand l'emballage 1 contient un gâteau ou tout autre aliment sucré. De la même manière, on pourra prévoir que la partie détachable 13 sera en matière biodégradable de sorte que l'utilisateur, une fois qu'il aura mis le restant de l'emballage à la poubelle, n'aura pas à se soucier de la partie détachable.Provision may be made for the detachable part 13 to consist of an element which can be consumed by humans, such as unleavened bread, so that the user can use it to hold his sandwich and can also eat this part 13 without fear. The. taste will then generally be salty so as not to disturb the flavors of the sandwich 14, or sweet when the package 1 contains a cake or any other sweet food. Similarly, provision may be made for the detachable part 13 to be made of biodegradable material so that the user, once he has put the rest of the packaging in the trash, will not have to worry about the detachable part.
L'invention est décrite dans ce qui précède à titre d'exemple. Il est entendu que l'homme du métier est à même de réaliser différentes variantes de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre du brevet. The invention is described in the foregoing by way of example. It is understood that a person skilled in the art is able to carry out different variants of the invention without going beyond the scope of the patent.
