Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for foodstuffs of the type provided with a drawing utensil and particularly, but not exclusively, to be used in the packaging of ice-creams, dairy products such as yoghurts, desserts etc.
  • the food containers used in the above sectors are usually comprised of pots, of various shapes and sizes, sealed at the top with a lid.
  • the foodstuffs contained inside the pots are consumed soon after purchase and, for this reason, these containers are sold accompanied by a utensil (generally a spoon) usually realised, as is the pot, in plastic and intended for use by the user to draw the food from the pot.
  • a utensil generally a spoon
  • the utensil is generally inserted between the lid, or in some cases between the lateral side of the pot, and a welded film covering.
  • the main drawback of the devices described above is a certain complexity in the production phase and a substantial investment, determined by the fact that at least two moulds must be prepared: one for the pot and one for the utensil.
  • the principal task of the invention is that of eliminating, or at least drastically reducing, the reported drawbacks in those food containers provided with an utensil currently on the market.
  • one important objective of the invention is that of providing a food container able to offer a particularly contained production cost, in such a way that its use also proves advantageous from an economic point of view.
  • Another objective of the present invention is that of providing a food container which allows, thanks to its particular shape, to simply and economically carry out the covering and/or wrapping operation.
  • a food container comprising of a receptacle for the containment of foodstuffs, having one base portion and one lateral containment surface, at least one drawing utensil for said foodstuffs, characterised by the fact that said at least one drawing utensil has a handgrip element, developed along a principal direction of development, having at least one portion facing a portion of said lateral containment surface and at least one moveable working section at one end of said handgrip element and at least partially inserted inside a reception seat defined on said containment receptacle.
  • a food container indicated comprehensively with the reference number 1, comprises a receptacle 2 for containing foodstuffs and a drawing utensil 3 (represented as a small spoon in the Figures) to extract the foodstuffs contained in the receptacle 2.
  • the food container 1 is, in the present embodiment, of the type in which the drawing utensil 3 is attached to the receptacle 2 when the food container 1 is packaged: naturally, such drawing utensil 3 is detachable from the receptacle 2 by the user when the same wishes to consume the food contained in the containment receptacle 2.
  • the receptacle 2 has a base portion 2b, shown in figure 4, and a lateral containment surface 2a joined together by means of an interconnecting border 2c.
  • the base portion 2b further comprises a base surface 2d.
  • the drawing utensil 3 has a handgrip element 4, such as a handle, developed along a principal direction of development 100.
  • the handgrip element 4 has at least one portion which is facing a respective portion of the lateral containment surface 2b.
  • the containment surface 2a further comprises a groove 2e wherein the above mentioned portion of the handgrip element 4 can be housed.
  • the groove 2e develops along a vertical direction, substantially parallel to the principal direction of development 100 of the handgrip element.
  • Such features are remarkably advantageous in the wrapping steps of the container around the containment surface, since the handgrip element is disposed substantially at the same level of the lateral surface when the drawing utensil 3 is connected to the receptacle.
  • a second groove 2f could also be present in a diametrically opposed position to the first groove 2e.
  • Such second groove 2f allows an easier stacking of the containers, since a first container could be stacked onto a second one in a such way that the utensil 4 of the first is also housed in the groove 2f of the second.
  • the handgrip element 4 is connected, advantageously at one of its ends 4a, to one working section 6 that, in the event that the drawing utensil 3 is a spoon, is formed by an concave oval plate, while in the event that the drawing utensil 3 is a fork, it is comprised of teeth or tines.
  • the working section 6 is, in particular, moveable with regard to the end 4a of the handgrip element 4.
  • the drawing utensil 3 is attached to the receptacle 2 (as illustrated in the sectional view illustrated in Figure 4) the working section 6 is at least' partially inserted inside a housing 7 defined on the containment receptacle 2.
  • the housing 7 is substantially pocket-shaped and is positioned at the base portion 2b of the containment receptacle 2.
  • the base 2d defining the lower surface of the housing 7, comprises curved protrusions 2g that maintain in a stable position the working section 6 in the housing 7.
  • the drawing utensil 3 is fixed, by means of at least one connecting segment 8 which can be broken by the user, to the containment receptacle 2.
  • the connecting segment 8 joins the top rim 2h of the containment receptacle 2 with the end 4b of the handgrip element 4 at the opposite end to the end 4a which is connected to the working section 6.
  • the food container 1 is obtained by means of a single plastic injection moulding.
  • the connecting segment 8 which can be broken by the user allows the use of a single moulding for the moulding both of the receptacle and of the drawing utensil.
  • the working section 6 is mounted moveable with regard to the handgrip element 4 on an oscillation axis fundamentally perpendicular to the principal direction of development 100 of the handgrip element 4.
  • the working section can move on a fundamentally transversal axis with respect to the longitudinal direction of development of the handgrip element 4.
  • the working section 6 lies, when the drawing utensil 3 is attached to the containment receptacle 2, on an inclined rest plane as regards to the rest plane of the handgrip element 4.
  • the working section 6, in the condition described above, is advantageously disposed substantially perpendicular to the handgrip element 4.
  • connection between the working section 6 and the end 4a of the handgrip element 4 is realised by a flexible connecting segment, also made of the same plastic material With which the working section 6 and the handgrip element 3 are made.
  • drawing utensil 3 be provided with a means of maintaining the working section 6 in blocked position with respect to the handle element 4 when being utilised and, consequently, in a condition in which such working section lies on a plane fundamentally parallel to the rest plane of the same handgrip element 4 (as illustrated in Figures 3 and 5).
  • Such means of maintaining the blocked position can be formed by an fixing tooth 9 on the handgrip element 3 and by a countershaped seat 10 on the working section 6 or vice versa.
  • a seat 7a apt to house the end 4b of the handgrip element 4 and which cooperates with the housing 7 in order to maintain the drawing utensil connected to the container.
  • the means of removable connection can provide for the presence of at least one fastening tooth 11 that projects radially from the lateral containment surface 2a of the containment receptacle and can be inserted inside a blocking seat 12 formed, for example, by a window and defined on a middle section of the handgrip element 4.
  • the means of reciprocal removable connection are composed of a layer or "dot" of glue, specifically for food use, inserted between the drawing utensil 3 (wrapped in the protective covering, for example) and the containment receptacle 2.
  • the handgrip element 3 could be hollow, thus defining an oblong cavity 31 and allowing the use of the handgrip element 3 as a straw.
  • the food container 1 is realised as a single body and as two separate bodies joined together, it is possible to cover the lateral surface of the container using a transparent or printed film as required.
  • Such film can also, in any case, function as a means of removable connection.
  • maintaining the drawing utensil attached to the receptacle could also be ensured, in addition to those means described above, by reciprocal fixing zones, respectively, in the drawing utensil 3 and on the receptacle 2 such as, for example, the vertical groove 2e, defined on the lateral surface 2a of the receptacle 2, can couple with respective countershaped segments on the handgrip element.
