Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging tray for food, in particular for fresh meat, with a base tray which has a base with a side edge, an upwardly extending, circumferential side wall and a circumferential transition area between the side edge of the base and the side wall.
- Certain foods and in particular meat as well as fresh meat in particular are often portioned in food retail and offered to the buyer as a finished unit. Such units are presented to the buyer for purchase in, for example, freezers etc.
- a packaging tray that can be closed, for example, by a transparent film.
- packaging trays for food are offered in a wide variety of forms.
- the special shape of the packaging tray depends on the food that is to be packed in this packaging tray and offered for sale.
- Packaging trays are also known which are composed of a base tray and an absorbent insert inserted therein and fixed there.
- reference is made, for example, to DE 100 61 965 A1 and the German utility model GM 77 28 046 .
- a further developed packaging tray with an absorbent insert is described, for example, in US Pat EP 1 600 107 A2 .
- Further prior art, to which reference is hereby expressly made, is mentioned in the introduction to the description of the latter patent application.
- the prior art described there also includes a packaging tray with a ribbed side structure, which is described in the German utility model 20308 312.1 is explained in more detail.
- suction pads used in these known packaging trays serve the purpose of sucking up or absorbing the liquids separated from the packaged goods.
- Such absorbent pads are thus made from an absorbent material and, for example, from cellulose.
- the material of the absorbent pads differs from the material from which the packaging trays are usually made.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a packaging tray for food, in particular for fresh meat, in which the food packaged therein remains fresh and attractive and is presented and which can be easily recycled.
- the packaging tray according to the invention is used for packing or packaging food, in particular for fresh meat.
- This packaging tray is equipped with a base which has a circumferential side wheel, with an upwardly extending circumferential side wall and with a circumferential transition area between the base edge and the side wall. In other words, the bottom goes around its edge Transition area over, which in turn merges into the circumferential side wall.
- the packaging tray according to the invention is characterized in that the bottom of the base tray is covered by the shelf and means are present which keep the shelf at a distance from the bottom of the base tray.
- the shelf is also equipped with an opening.
- the packaging tray according to the invention is further characterized in that the shelf is made of the same type of material as the base tray.
- the expression "same type of material” denotes a material which can be used in the same way to produce the base shell or the shelf.
- the base shell and thus also the insert sheet can be produced by deep-drawing a film made of, in particular, plastic or aluminum.
- the plastic is preferably polypropylene or polystyrene.
- the base shell and the shelf are particularly preferably produced by thermoforming.
- the base shell and the shelf are made from different plastics, then these materials can nonetheless be recycled together.
- the base shell and also the shelf are preferably made from the same material, for example from the same plastic, in particular polypropylene.
- the packaging tray After inserting the food, the packaging tray is closed with a film in a known manner.
- the food packaged in this way lies on top of the upper layer and thus on the shelf. Liquid secreted from there not only flows after insertion, but later through the opening into the area or the distance between the insert shelf and the actual bottom of the base tray and remains there at a distance from and separate from the food located in the packaging tray.
- the packaged food not only remains fresh and attractive, but is also offered to the consumer in this form.
- the side edge running around the outside of the shelf can be inserted or clipped into the base shell with a precise fit.
- a circumferential shoulder is particularly preferably formed in the interior of the base shell in the transition area, which is spaced from the bottom of the base shell and on which the side edge of the shelf rests in the inserted state.
- the shoulder particularly preferably forms a flat, horizontal, circumferential support surface.
- the vertical distance between this circumferential support surface and the bottom of the base shell is thus approximately the same in the course of the revolution.
- a circumferential strip is formed on the side edge of the shelf, which extends outward and in the assembled state (i.e. the shelf is inserted into the base shell) rests on top of the support surface of the heel.
- transition area and the side edge of the shelf are preferably designed to be congruent in shape and size in such a way that the transition area and the side edge form a clip connection in the assembled state.
- the shelf thus remains stationary at the place where it was used. However, this connection can be released if a sufficiently high force is applied to separate the shelf from the base shell.
- a plurality of ribs preferably extend upwards from the bottom of the base shell, on which the underside of the shelf rests. These ribs expediently have the same height and the same configuration and represent further means which keep the shelf at a distance from the bottom of the base shell.
- the packaging tray according to the invention preferably has an approximately rectangular or square shape when viewed from above.
- the base shell 2 shown in plan view from above has a base 3 with an approximately rectangular shape. At its side edge 5, the base 3 merges into a circumferential transition area 4, which is explained in more detail below and which in turn merges into a circumferential side wall 6 which extends upward.
- the base shell 2 and thus also the packaging shell 1 have an overall roughly rectangular shape when viewed from above and roughly the shape of an open cuboid when viewed spatially.
- the packaging tray 1 therefore has two larger longitudinal sides 7, 8 and two shorter transverse sides 9, 10 upwards and thus expands outwards.
- the side wall 6 is also rounded in the area in which the longitudinal sides 7, 8 abut the transverse sides 9, 10.
- the bottom 6 forms the large base of the cuboid, while the opposite side is open.
- the circumferential side wall 6 of the base shell 2 merges at its upper edge into the folded edge 18, which has a horizontal sealing edge 19 to which a film (not shown) for closing the base shell 2 can be fixed, for example by welding.
- the transition area 4 is subdivided into an upper transition area 4 ′′ and a lower transition area 4 ' Figure 6 referenced.
- a circumferential, outwardly and upwardly curved, circumferential strip 13 adjoins it, followed by a diagonally outwardly extending, circumferential, planar area 14, which together form the lower transition area 4 '.
- the upper transition area 4 ′′ comprises the lower section 17 of the side channels 11, which are rounded towards the inside. This is followed by an outwardly circumferential undercut 16 towards the base 3, which is horizontal towards the base 3 or parallel to the base 3 circumferential flat support surface 15 merges.
- the undercut 16 and the support surface 15 form a shoulder 15, 16 which is at a distance from the bottom 3 of the base shell 2.
- the side edge 25 of the insert base 20 rests on this shoulder 15, 16 in the inserted state. This situation is described in more detail below.
- Base shell 2 shown can be an in the Figure 3 Insert shelf 20 shown in perspective top view is inserted or clipped in which has approximately the same area as the bottom 3 of the base shell 2.
- the shelf 20 thus has an approximately rectangular shape when viewed from above and has two opposite short sides and long sides.
- the shelf 20 In the center of the shelf 20 there is an elongated opening 21 which runs centrally between the opposite long sides 23.
- a plurality of parallel, upwardly curved ribs 24 extend from the long sides 23 towards the opening 21. Further upwardly curved ribs 24 extend from the short sides 22 and from the corners between the short sides 22 and the long sides 23 towards the opening 21. The food to be stored rests on these ribs 24.
- the flat base of the shelf 20 is inclined towards the opening 21, so that liquid dripping onto the shelf 20 is directed to the opening 21 and can flow away.
- Figure 4 shows a plan view of the packaging tray 1 according to the invention with inserted shelf 20 and thus in the assembled state.
- the rectangular shelf 20 has a circumferential fold 26 on its side edge 25 with a section 27 extending diagonally upward and outward, which merges into a horizontal strip 28 approximately parallel to the shelf 20.
- the strip 28 of the side edge 25 rests on top of the support surface 15 of the shoulder 15, 16.
- the diagonal area 14 of the lower transition area 4 has at least approximately the same inclination as the diagonal section 27 of the fold 26 or of the side edge 25.
- the transition area 4 and the side edge 25 of the shelf 20 are designed to be congruent in shape and size, that not only the strip 28 rests on top of the support surface 15 of the shoulder 15, 16, but also the aforementioned diagonal section 27 rests on the diagonal area 14 with a certain pressure, so that the shelf 20 is clip-like fitted and pressed into the base shell 2 and remains stationary there. In order to remove the shelf 20 from its fitted position, a certain pressure must be exerted, so that the frictional forces between the undercut 16 and the diagonal section 27 of the fold 26 or the side edge 25 are overcome.
- the base shell 2 and the insert base 20 are made of polypropylene by thermoforming.
- the elements of the packaging tray 1 thus consist of the same material.
