THREE-LAYER LOCKABLE PLASTIC CONTAINER FOR CARRYING AND STORING A FOOD PRODUCT

Abstract

 This invention prevents damage to filling articles (d) by use of a third plastic holder (Y) locking the product even when the package is upside down by use of food products carrying filling and filling deposit geometry. With the invention products (c) may keep their original form during all stages from production, shipment and display.

Description

The Field of the Invention

[0001] The Invention relates to three-layer, lockable storing and carrying container capable to store filling products deposited onto a food product without any damages.

Background of the Related Art

[0002] In the related art sensitive filling deposit products are transported by use of plastic containers (PVC, PET, PE, PS etc.). Such containers have caps closing the upper surface too.

[0003] During shipment of products of marshmallow, air cream, soft filling deposited products, filling articles can touch the layer of package and expose to damage. For that reason, they are to be transported without changing position (keeping production positions) and in a sensitive manner. Plastic containers used in the related art can be made with caps/covers. However, in case of side turning product package or 180 degrees turning, filling material sticks onto container and damage may occur.

Technical issues aimed to be solved by the invention

[0004] This invention prevents damage to filling articles by use of a third plastic holder locking the product even when the package is upside down by use of food products carrying filling and filling deposit geometry. With the invention products may keep their original form during all stages from production, shipment and display.

Brief Description of the Invention

[0005] The invention discloses a plastic storing and carrying container with three layers, locking and shaped with thermal treatment and capable to store filling products with marshmallow deposited thereon, air cream etc.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0008] This invention prevents damage to filling articles by use of a third plastic holder locking the product even when the package is upside down by use of food products carrying filling and filling deposit geometry (Figure 1). With the invention products may keep their original form during all stages from production, shipment and display.

[0009] The invention subject is produced (figure 1) in three layers and to perform three separate functions by shaping plastic material (PVC, PET, PS, PE etc.) in film with thickness ranging from 50 to 500 micrometers via thermoform (thermal heating forming) convenient for food product geometry. Here part (X) refers to sub carrying container shaped as per product geometry, (Y) part refers to secondary intermediate layer used for pressing food product from sides to lock, (Z) part shows upper cover closed finally and locking it. Figure 1 shows (a) schematic view of locking details formed by giving reverse angle during shaping plastic material. Parts shown in (b) show spring parts shaped during forming onto plastic material and allowing closing onto one another and without separation of parts. A design (e) is applied in bottom part of the container (X) in order to help locking of (Y) part in a controlled manner after placing product into mold and to provide spring.

[0010] The invention comprises stages of firstly placement of food product into sub carrying container designed as per food product geometry and number thereof in the container, then depositing sensitive filling, then closing and locking intermediate layer (Y) onto sub carrying container (X) by pressing from sides of food product and finally closing and locking upper cover (Z) closing entire product hermetically onto (X) and (Y) layers (Figure 1). Flow diagram of processes are shown in Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 gradually.

[0011] The invention aims to protect sensitive filling deposited onto food product layer such as cake, bread, biscuit, cracker etc. Plastic containers are not to be integrated necessarily and can be produced in three separate layers and then mounted onto one another. Instead of plastic material production method in form of thermoform (thermal forming) in plate form, IML (Injection into form) method can be used for shaping too. Instead of plastic materials, flexible materials such as cartoon can also be used. Instead of interlocking of layers, it is also possible to mount them by use of glue, thermal or ultrasonic pasting methods.

Claims

1. A storing and carrying container made from plastic materials in plate form in three layers, flexible or thermal shaped and made by locking of layers shaped by thermoform or injection into mold or mounting to one another by use of glue, thermal or ultrasonic pasting method for storing and carrying filling products with cake, bread. chocolate and similar food product deposited thereon without any damage and characterized by comprising sub carrying container (X), a secondary intermediate layer (Y) used for locking to food product by pressing from sides and upper cover (Z) finally closed and locking.

2. A container according to claim 1 and characterized by comprising process stages of firstly placement of product into sub carrying container (X) designed as per food product geometry and number thereof in the container, then depositing sensitive filling (d), then closing and locking intermediate layer (Y) onto sub carrying container (X) by pressing from sides of food product and finally closing and locking upper cover (Z) closing entire product hermetically onto (X) and (Y) layers.

3. A container according to claim 1 and characterized by comprising: the detail of a locking (a) formed by giving an opposite angle during shaping and the detail of a springing (b) formed during molding, which allows the layers to be closed on top of each other without separating them and the design located in the bottom section (e) of the lower transport container (X) so as to help locking the intermediate layer (Y) and provide springing (b) after the food product (c) is placed in the mold.

4. A container according to claim 1 and characterized by heating and forming plastic material in film with thickness ranging from 50 to 500 micrometers according to geometry of food product.

5. A container according to claim 1 and characterized by shaping by use of method of injection into form.

6. A container according to claim 1 and characterized by integrated or separate production of layers and mounting onto one another thereafter.
