Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux emballages de produits alimentaires.The present invention relates to food packaging.

Plus particulièrement, elle concerne ceux comportant une barquette destinée à contenir une part individuelle d'un produit alimentaire, de type quiche, ou tarte.More particularly, it relates to those having a tray for containing an individual part of a food product, quiche type or pie.

Il est connu de l'art antérieur des emballages comportant des barquettes fermées hermétiquement permettant d'offrir au consommateur un emballage individuel garantissant la conservation et la protection du produit avant l'ouverture. Ce type de produit présente de nombreux avantages, notamment leur capacité à être transporté, pour des consommateurs nomades, qui souhaitent s'alimenter rapidement et dans différents endroits.It is known in the prior art packaging comprising trays hermetically sealed to offer the consumer an individual package ensuring the preservation and protection of the product before opening. This type of product has many advantages, including their ability to be transported, for nomadic consumers who want to eat fast and in different places.

Toutefois les emballages de l'art antérieur présentent plusieurs inconvénients pour le consommateur. Tout d'abord ces emballages ne permettent pas de consommer le produit alimentaire facilement et sans le prendre avec les mains, notamment lorsque ce dernier a été réchauffé. Cela entraîne pour le consommateur un risque de brûlure et un risque de se salir les mains. De plus la nécessite d'utiliser des couverts en plastique peut être contraignante pour des consommateurs « nomades » qui souhaite se déplacer en s'alimentant.However, the packaging of the prior art has several disadvantages for the consumer. Firstly, these packages do not allow to consume the food product easily and without taking it with the hands, especially when the latter has been warmed. This causes the consumer a risk of burning and a risk of getting dirty hands. In addition, the need to use plastic cutlery can be restrictive for "nomadic" consumers who want to move while feeding.

Le but de la présente invention est de pallier ces inconvénients et de proposer un emballage de part individuelle de produit alimentaire offrant à l'utilisateur une consommation facile grâce à une prise en main simple et protégée.The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks and to provide an individual packaging of food product offering the user easy consumption through a simple grip and protected.

La présente invention porte sur un emballage 10 d'une part individuelle 12 d'un produit alimentaire, tel qu'une tarte ou quiche, destinée à être consommée rapidement et de manière nomade, c'est-à-dire dans un endroit différent du lieu où il a été acheté.The present invention relates to a package 10 on an individual basis 12 of a food product, such as a pie or quiche, intended to be consumed quickly and nomadically, that is to say in a different place from where it was bought.

Le marché du snacking augmente de manière considérable depuis une décennie. Les consommateurs prennent moins de temps pour déjeuner, et souhaitent pouvoir consommer rapidement et en tout lieu leur produit alimentaire. La présente invention propose donc un emballage permettant de faciliter cette consommation nomade, comme cela va être décrit ultérieurement.The snacking market has increased significantly over the past decade. Consumers take less time for lunch, and want to be able to consume food quickly and anywhere. The present invention therefore provides a package to facilitate this nomadic consumption, as will be described later.

De manière générale les parts individuelles 12 présentent une forme sensiblement triangulaire, car découpé dans une tarte de forme circulaire. L'emballage tel qu'illustré présente aussi une forme triangulaire s'adaptant parfaitement à la forme de la part individuelle. Pour une meilleure compréhension du lecteur, la forme triangulaire sera définie par une base et un sommet principal opposé, et deux côtés adjacents à la base. La forme de l'emballage illustré sur les dessins annexés n'est pas limitative et ce dernier pourrait présenter toute autre forme, telle qu'une forme circulaire.In general, the individual portions 12 have a substantially triangular shape, because they are cut out of a circular pie. The packaging as illustrated also has a triangular shape adapting perfectly to the shape of the individual part. For a better understanding of the reader, the triangular shape will be defined by an opposite main base and top, and two sides adjacent to the base. The shape of the package illustrated in the accompanying drawings is not limiting and the latter could have any other shape, such as a circular shape.

L'emballage 10 selon l'invention est constitué de deux parties. Il comporte une barquette 14, illustrée sur la figure 1, destinée à protéger le produit alimentaire. Cette barquette est recouverte d'un film de recouvrement, non représenté, de sorte à créer un environnement hermétique permettant de conserver le produit alimentaire. La barquette est réalisée par thermoformage, en matière plastique compatible avec un réchauffage au micro-onde tel que du polypropylène.The package 10 according to the invention consists of two parts. It comprises a tray 14, illustrated on the figure 1 , intended to protect the food product. This tray is covered with a cover film, not shown, so as to create a hermetic environment allowing keep the food product. The tray is made by thermoforming, plastic compatible with a microwave heating such as polypropylene.

L'emballage 10 est aussi constitué d'une pelle 16, illustrée sur la figure 2, disposée dans la barquette 14, et permettant de faciliter la préhension du produit en dehors de la barquette 14, et d'éviter au consommateur de se salir ou de se brûler les doigts. La pelle 16 est réalisée par injection en matière plastique compatible avec un réchauffage micro-onde, tel que du polypropylène.The package 10 is also constituted by a shovel 16, illustrated on the figure 2 , arranged in the tray 14, and to facilitate the gripping of the product outside the tray 14, and to prevent the consumer from getting dirty or burning fingers. The shovel 16 is made by plastic injection compatible with a microwave heating, such as polypropylene.

La barquette 14 et la pelle 16 présentent chacune une forme triangulaire définissant une base 14a, 16a et un sommet principal 141, 161 opposé. La barquette comporte un fond 18 de forme sensiblement triangulaire à partir duquel s'étend, dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à celui du fond, un rebord latéral 20 définissant la profondeur P de la barquette 14. La barquette comporte en outre un rebord supérieur 22 s'étendant au-dessus du rebord latéral 20, dans un plan sensiblement parallèle à celui du fond 18. Le rebord supérieur 22 est adapté à recevoir un opercule de recouvrement qui est fixé par adhésion. L'opercule permet de créer un volume hermétique de conservation du produit alimentaire.The tray 14 and the shovel 16 each have a triangular shape defining a base 14a, 16a and a main apex 141, 161 opposite. The tray has a bottom 18 of substantially triangular shape from which extends, in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of the bottom, a lateral flange 20 defining the depth P of the tray 14. The tray further comprises an upper rim 22 s extending above the lateral flange 20, in a plane substantially parallel to that of the bottom 18. The upper flange 22 is adapted to receive a covering cap which is adhesively secured. The operculum makes it possible to create an hermetic volume of preservation of the food product.

Selon une variante de réalisation, la barquette 14 comporte sur les sommets du rebord supérieur 22, au moins deux languettes 24, 26s'étendant au-delà du rebord supérieur 22, et dans le même plan, de sorte à faciliter la prise en main de l'emballage par le consommateur.According to an alternative embodiment, the tray 14 comprises on the tops of the upper flange 22, at least two tabs 24, 26send beyond the upper flange 22, and in the same plane, so as to facilitate the grip of packaging by the consumer.

La pelle 16, illustrée sur la figure 2, présente une partie de support 28 s'étendant dans un premier plan sensiblement, et sur laquelle la part individuelle est en appui. Lorsque la pelle 16 est disposée dans la barquette 14, la partie de support 28 est parallèle et en appui sur le fond 18 de la barquette 14. La partie de support 28 présente une forme triangulaire. La distance entre l'extrémité opposée 161 et la base 16a de la partie de support est inférieure à la distance séparant le sommet principal 141 et la base 14a du fond de la barquette de sorte à faciliter l'insertion ou le retrait de la pelle 16 par rapport à la barquette 14.The shovel 16, illustrated on the figure 2 , has a support portion 28 extending in a substantially plane first, and on which the individual part is supported. When the shovel 16 is disposed in the tray 14, the support portion 28 is parallel and bears against the bottom 18 of the tray 14. The support portion 28 has a triangular shape. The distance between the opposite end 161 and the base 16a of the support portion is less than the distance between the main vertex 141 and the base 14a of the bottom of the tray so as to facilitate insertion or removal of the excavator 16 compared to the tray 14.

La pelle 16 présente un premier rebord 30 s'étendant dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à celui de la partie de support 28, depuis cette dernière jusqu'à une extrémité supérieure. Le premier rebord 30 forme un moyen de préhension permettant une préhension facile pour le consommateur. De manière à offrir une meilleure prise en main par le consommateur, le premier rebord 30 présente une hauteur sensiblement égale à la hauteur du rebord latéral 20 de la barquette 14 et comporte en outre une partie rabattue 32 sensiblement parallèle au plan de la partie de support 28 à son extrémité supérieure. Grâce à ces dispositions, le consommateur peut saisir d'une seule main la pelle sur laquelle est disposée la part individuelle, et disposer de l'autre main pour effectuer d'autres activités.The shovel 16 has a first rim 30 extending in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of the support portion 28, from the latter to an upper end. The first flange 30 forms a gripping means for easy gripping for the consumer. In order to offer a better grip by the consumer, the first flange 30 has a height substantially equal to the height of the side rim 20 of the tray 14 and further comprises a folded portion 32 substantially parallel to the plane of the support portion 28 at its upper end. Thanks to these provisions, the consumer can seize with one hand the shovel on which the individual part is arranged, and dispose of the other hand to perform other activities.

La pelle comporte en outre deux rebords secondaires 34, 36 s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan perpendiculaire à la partie de support 28. Le premier rebord 30 et les deux rebords secondaires 34, 36 coopèrent de sorte à limiter le mouvement de la part individuelle sur la partie de support 28, afin d'éviter une chute de cette dernière, tout en permettant de la déplacer dans un sens orienté vers le sommet principal 161, afin que l'utilisateur puisse la consommer.The shovel further comprises two secondary flanges 34, 36 extending substantially in a plane perpendicular to the support portion 28. The first flange 30 and the two secondary flanges 34, 36 cooperate to limit the movement of the individual part on the support portion 28, to prevent a fall of the latter, while allowing to move in a direction towards the main vertex 161, so that the user can consume it.

Tel qu'illustré sur les figures annexées, les rebords secondaires 34, 36 s'étendent respectivement de part et d'autre des deux sommets 162, 163 de la base 16a de la partie de support 28. Ils s'étendent d'une part du côté de la base 16a de la partie de support 28 et d'autre part vers les côtés adjacents 16b, 16c à la base 16. La hauteur des rebords secondaires 34, 36 disposés le long des côtés adjacents 16b, 16c à la base 16a est au maximum égale ou supérieure au quart de la profondeur P de la barquette et tend à diminuer en direction du sommet principal 161, de sorte à permettre le déplacement de la part individuelle vers le sommet principal 161 de la partie de support 28.As illustrated in the accompanying figures, the secondary flanges 34, 36 respectively extend on either side of the two peaks 162, 163 of the base 16a of the support portion 28. They extend on the one hand on the side of the base 16a of the support portion 28 and on the other hand towards the adjacent sides 16b, 16c at the base 16. The height of the secondary edges 34, 36 disposed along the adjacent sides 16b, 16c at the base 16a is at most equal to or greater than a quarter of the depth P of the tray and tends to decrease towards the main vertex 161, so as to allow the movement of the individual portion to the main vertex 161 of the support portion 28.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le fond 18 de la barquette 14 présente des éléments en relief 38 qui coopèrent avec des rainures 40 ou des orifices réalisés dans la partie de support 28 de la pelle 16, de sorte à guider l'insertion de la pelle 16 dans la barquette 14, et son positionnement correct. A cet effet, les éléments en relief 38 viennent s'emboîter dans les orifices qui présentent une forme complémentaire.According to a preferred embodiment, the bottom 18 of the tray 14 has relief elements 38 which cooperate with grooves 40 or holes made in the support portion 28 of the blade 16, so as to guide the insertion of the shovel 16 in the tray 14, and its correct positioning. For this purpose, the raised elements 38 are interlocked in the orifices which have a complementary shape.

La présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits ou détaillés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.The present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described or detailed which are given only as an example.
