Definitions

the invention relates to a segmental shell made of a plastic material for receiving portions of a food, such as pigs, with separable serving bowls, which have outwardly angled, lying in the composite layer in a common plane edge webs, of which the adjacent portion shells along predetermined breaking lines are connected to each other with appropriate material weakening.
the edge webs of adjacent portion shells extend from each other dividing predetermined breaking lines in a straight line, they are accordingly rectilinear. If one makes the material weakening in the area of the predetermined breaking lines too strong, a labile combination of the portion shells results with one another. This can lead to a breakup of the segment shell during filling and further handling even before the intended compartmentalization of the portion cups. If the plastic material is made relatively thick in the region of the predetermined breaking lines, this makes it more difficult to separate one of the portion dishes from the composite with the others.
the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a segment shell of the aforementioned type, on the one hand for handling after manufacture, for the in particular mechanical filling, the subsequent transport and further handling has sufficient stability, on the other hand, however, allows separation of the individual serving bowls from the composite without much effort.
the edge webs of the interconnected portion shells are so to speak interlocked with each other. This results in particular in the common plane in which lie in the composite of the portion cups whose edge webs, high strength.
the narrow breakaway webs can be arranged in the region of the predetermined breaking lines due to their waveform so that they have different bending lines. This increases the strength of the serving bowls perpendicular to the level of the edge webs in the composite layer.
the narrow predetermined breaking webs along the predetermined breaking lines can be dimensioned so that nevertheless a slight breakup of the portion cups is possible.
the predetermined breaking webs can be triangular, rectangular or trapezoidal.
the predetermined breaking lines have the form of a sine wave or the waveform is at least approximated to that of a sine wave.
each of the portion shells 1 on the segment shell shown in FIG. 1, each of which has a base 2, side walls 3 and edge webs 4 angled therefrom.
the four serving dishes 1 are shown in the composite layer, each individual shell can break out of the composite to utilize their contents.
a sensitive food such as pig fat, which depending on Need can be consumed in one or more small portions. Therefore, each of the portion cups 1 is closed by itself after filling by means of a top film, which is sealed onto the respective edge web 4.
the edge webs 4 of all portion shells 1 lie in a common plane. Between the edge webs 4 adjacent Portionsschalen 1 break lines 5 are formed, which have a special feature, because they run in a waveform.
the predetermined breaking lines 5 are corrugated in the manner of a sine curve, as a result of which the edge webs 4 of adjacent portion shells 1 are interlocked with one another by the pronounced bulges and indentations.
the plastic material from which the entire segment shell is broken in the region of the predetermined breaking lines 5, and the connection between adjacent edge webs 4 consists only in the form of narrow breaking webs 6, which in the manner of a thread section through the Fracture line 5 Bridge existing dividing line.
each half-wave of the waveform of the predetermined breaking lines 5 two of the narrow predetermined breaking webs 6 are present, of which two adjacent - as Figure 2 makes clear - run in different directions, so are not parallel to each other.
the narrow predetermined breaking webs 6 are each arranged outside the apex areas of the waveform of the predetermined breaking lines 5.
the predetermined breaking webs 6 have the same distances from each other along each predetermined breaking line 5.
the outwardly angled edge webs 4 of the four serving dishes 1 adjoin one another with corners 7 which are each flattened so that between the four corners 7 of the plastic material a small plate 8 is formed, which of second, rectilinearly extending predetermined breaking webs 9 is enclosed.
the plate 8 has a square or rhombic shape, and the diagonals of this shape are aligned with the predetermined breaking lines 5 between the edge webs 4 of the serving dishes 1.
