Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a food container (1) comprising a bowl (2), an insert (3) and a lid (4), where said insert (3) has an upper face (6) facing said lid (4) and a lower face (7) facing said bowl (2), and said insert (3) is characterized in that it comprises at least one socket (5), where said at least one socket (5) is open towards the lower face (7) of said insert (3) and said opening is closed by a film (8) and said at least one socket (5), preferably dome-shaped, has, at the top of said dome, a perforating element (10) facing the inside of the socket itself, said insert (3) being made of a semi-rigid material, at least in the portion which forms said at least one socket (5) and said film (8) adapted to be perforated by said perforating element (10) .
  • a first compartment intended to accommodate the salad and at least a second container, of smaller size, adapted to accommodate the dressing.
  • US7163102 B2 describes a multi-compartment container, in which the further secondary compartments are placed at the bottom of the main compartment, separated from said main container by a film.
  • EP2691315 also describes a container which is functional for keeping different food separate, in which a first upper portion is present, having a perforating element adapted to break the protective film of the second portion, which is lower than said first portion.
  • JP H10127490 describes a food container according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a bowl, an insert and a lid, wherein said insert comprises at least one socket having a perforating element.
  • US4785931 describes a beverage container, the closure having a plurality of compartments formed therein, operable by finger pressure to release their contents into the container.
  • NL1036822 , EP1710169 describe food containers having dome-shaped sockets, wherein a perforating element is on the top of said sockets. The need is felt to find alternative solutions to those suggested, optimizing food preservability and having advantageous handling features.
  • the present invention relates to a food container which advantageously allows to keep different foods in separate compartments, with the possibility of mixing them when needed in a simple manner.
  • the present invention relates to a food container (1) comprising a bowl (2), an insert (3) and a lid (4).
  • said container (1) is shown closed in Figure 1 , and in Figure 2 an exploded view thereof is outlined.
  • Said bowl (2) is preferably made of polypropylene.
  • the base of said bowl is circular, or has the shape of a different geometric figure. In a preferred embodiment, it is octagonal. In a preferred embodiment, the height of said bowl is less than the diameter thereof.
  • Said insert (3) has an upper face (6) and a lower face (7), where said lower face (7) faces the inside of said bowl (2) when said insert (3) is positioned on said bowl (2).
  • Figure 3 shows said insert (3) in detail.
  • Said insert (3) is characterized in that it comprises at least one, preferably two, dome-shaped sockets (5), where said at least one socket (5) is open on the lower face (7) of said insert (3).
  • perforating element (10) is placed on the top of said dome, facing the inside of the socket itself.
  • Said perforating element (10) preferably has a length approximately equal to or less than the height of said dome, so as to be contained inside the socket (5) when it is closed by said film (8).
  • said perforating element (10) has a length such as to keep in slight tension said film (8) which closes said socket (5).
  • Said insert (3), or at least the portion of said insert (3) which forms said sockets (5) is made of a semi-rigid material, such as polypropylene, for example.
  • said insert also comprises at least one housing (11), preferably two housings (11). Said housings (11), preferably elongated in shape, are open towards said upper face (6) of said insert (3).
  • Said lid (4) is a lid which is positioned on said insert (3), preferably is a film which is heat-sealed on said insert (3).
  • said container (1) also comprises a kit (12).
  • said kit (12) is housed in a recess obtained at the bottom of said bowl (2) and is held in place by a bottom (13) which preferably is a film heat-sealed on the bottom of the bowl itself.
  • Said kit (12) comprises a napkin and/or cutlery.
  • the container according to the present invention is adapted to contain food, preferably fresh food, such as salads, for example vegetable salads possibly with fish, pasta salads, rise salads, legume salads, cereal salads, in general.
  • the container may be kept in the fridge.
  • Said insert (3), said lid (4) being heat-sealed thereto, is in turn heat-sealed on said bowl (2).
  • the closures described ensure an easy transport of the container (1), without the risk of liquid leakage therefrom.
  • said sockets (5) are two in number and contain dressings, for example oil and vinegar, respectively. The consumer is free to choose whether and what dressing to add to the dish and to add it as described.
  • the method allowed by virtue of the innovative container described in the present invention ensures a clean delivery, since the opening of the sockets containing the dressing occurs towards the inside of the bowl, at a time when the bowl is sealed by the insert.
  • This can apply to the stirring step, in which no leakage is possible since it is performed with the insert (3) still sealed on said bowl (2).
  • the contents of the bowl are exposed to the environment only when opening said insert, which opening leaves the food already mixed and ready to be consumed. Said insert (3) is disposed of.
  • the solution suggested in the present invention makes this advantageously possible.
  • said elongated housings (11) when said elongated housings (11) are present, they contain small bags containing dry dressings, such as salt, spices to be added to the dish, or further ingredients to be added to the dish, such as cheese and/or charcuterie, for example.
  • said housings may contain a cutlery and napkin kit, where said kit is not present in the housing at the bottom of the bowl.
