Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container, in particular one that is suitable for gelatinous food stuffs.
  • Gelatinous food stuffs such as jelly in various flavours are commonly available. Typically, they are sold in a concentrated form which must be made up as required. This is mainly due to the short shelf life of the made up food stuff, but also since the made up jelly adheres tightly to the container in which it is formed. As a result, it is difficult to extract the jelly from the container and some form of cutlery is usually required. Whilst this is not a problem in a domestic environment, this does hinder commercialisation of jelly-based food products in a retail environment.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a container for gelatinous food stuffs such as jelly which can enable retail sale in an easy and convenient package, preferably one that does not require bundling of disposable cutlery.
  • the present invention therefore provides a container comprising a receptacle and a lid, the lid comprising at least one cutter extending therefrom, so as to project into the container when closed.
  • the cutters upon removing the lid, typically employing a rotary action relative to the receptacle, the cutters will be drawn through the gelatinous food stuff within the receptacle, releasing it from the side walls thereof. This will enable the food stuff to be removed easily for consumption.
  • the cutters contact the inner faces of the receptacle.
  • the cutters can be in the shape of a blade, such as including a bevel edge.
  • the cutters could employ a novelty shape such as the profiles of popular characters.
  • the hardness and toughness of gelatinous food stuffs does not require a sharp edge.
  • Figure 1 is a view from one side of the lid
  • Figure 2 is a section on ll-ll of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a view of the lid from beneath;
  • Figure 4 is a view of the receptacle from above; and
  • Figure 5 is a section on V-V of the receptacle.
  • the lid 1 0 of Figures 1 to 3 co-operates with the pot-shaped receptacle 1 2 of Figures 4 and 5.
  • the lid 10 is generally circular in shape to match a generally circular opening 1 4 on the receptacle 1 2.
  • the outer perimeter of the lid 1 0 has a rim 1 6 which is adapted to fit snuggly around the outside circular profile of the receptacle 1 2. Concentric with the rim 1 6 is a circular trench 1 8, spaced inwardly therefrom, which provides additional rigidity to the lid 1 0 and sandwiches the opening 1 4 of the receptacle 1 2 between the rim 1 6.
  • the outside face of the receptacle 1 2 has a pair of diametrically opposed outwardly extending ridges 20, 22.
  • a corresponding pair of inwardly directed ridges 24,26 are provided in a diametrically opposed relationship on the inner face of the lip 1 6 of the lid 1 0. These extend through an angle of about 1 10 0-
  • the lid 1 0 is placed over the receptacle 1 2 such that the ridges 22,24 pass through gaps between the ridges 24, 26 of the lid, and the lid is then rotated such that the ridges 20,22 are retained behind the ridges 24, 26.
  • the ridges, 20,22 have an upwardly directed portion 28 to assist in pulling the lid 1 0 home on the receptacle 1 2.
  • the reverse procedure is followed involving rotating the lid 1 0 until the ridges 20,22 of the receptacle 1 2 are no longer retained by the ridges 24,26 of the lid, and the lid 10 is then removed by pulling it from the receptacle 1 2.
  • a pair of blades 30,32 project inwardly of the receptacle 1 2 from the inner surface of the lid 10, between the trench 1 8 and the lip 1 6.
  • the two blades 30,32 are diametrically opposed and project from the inner surface of the lid 1 0 by a distance between 90% and 95% of the internal depth of the receptacle 1 2.
  • a depth of at least 60%-80% is advisable. The depth should be sufficient to release a significant amount of material, yet not so large as to prompt difficulties in the event of excessive manufacturing tolerances.
  • the blades are located such that as the lid 1 0 is rotated relative to the receptacle 1 2 to remove it therefrom, the blades 30, 32 each describe an arc close to or preferably at the inner surface of the receptacle 1 2, releasing gelatinous food stuff material contained within the receptacle 1 2 from the walls thereof. This results from the blades being located on the lid in a position which is offset from the centre thereof. As shown in Figures 1 -3, two blades are provided which, when rotated during release of the lid, will make a sufficient cut in foodstuffs to allow easy release. A single blade could be provided, but this would require a correspondingly greater rotation of the lid. Equally, more blades could be provided, but at a cost of additional manufacturing complexity.
  • the blades, 30,32 are tilted slightly inwardly such that their tips are closer to each other than their roots. This matches the sectional profile of the receptacle 1 2 as is apparent in figure 5. The angle should not be too large else the blades may lose contact with the inner faces of the receptacle.
  • the profiles of the blades are similar to those of a knife, but with a bevelled edge 34 and a gentle curve of the forward cutting edge 36 to a point 38 at the tip of the blade 30,32.
  • other shapes can be adopted as gelatinous food stuffs are not typically of a hard or necessarily tough nature.
  • the shape of the blade could be a novelty shape such as the silhouette of popular figures or personalities.
  • the container described herein can be used for a variety of human and non-human foodstuffs. Human foodstuffs such as jellies and the like are particularly suitable, but others are also suitable including gelatinous foodstuffs incorporating a second phase, such as food for pet or other animals. Dog and cat food commonly consists of a gelatinous binder with a suspended meaty phase.
  • Gelatinous foodstuffs include both those manufactured using gelatine or gelatine substitutes such as certain seaweed extracts, and also foodstuffs of a similar nature.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un conteneur pour produits alimentaires gélatineux présentant une paire de lames (30, 32) dirigées vers l'intérieur formées sur la surface interne du couvercle (10). Au fur et à mesure de la rotation du couvercle (10) pour l'enlever du réceptacle (12), les lames (30, 32) découpent le produit alimentaire et le détachent des parois intérieures du réceptacle (12).
