Definitions
- the invention relates to a substantially rigid packaging shell for a product, defining an at least partial housing volume of the product, and closed by a cover.
- Such shells are known for packaging cheeses, for example by documents EP 0952093, FR 2 773 137 or FR 2 786 471.
- the cover is substantially rigid and can be detached from the shell to access the product. .
- the cover is a flexible seal that is detached from the shell.
- access to the product in the shell is not always satisfactory, especially if, for example, the product tends to stick to the walls of the shell; once the cover is removed, it remains to extract the product from the shell. In the case of a food product, this extraction is not necessarily very hygienic or can dirty the fingers.
- Document US 3521805 shows a packaging shell closed by a film and whose shape means that by folding it with the fingers, a neck-shaped portion of the shell is broken, which makes it possible to distribute the product. which is necessarily in fluid form (powder, liquid or paste).
- Documents DE 7607897U, US 4266667 and US 3075639 show more or less articulated blister type packaging intended to contain non-food products such as pencils or sterile needles, but unsuitable for the problem of food products such as cheese that you don't want to touch with your fingers.
- the object of the invention is to provide a packaging of the type defined above which allows easy access to the product contained in the shell, without having to touch said product, in particular for a solid product such as cheese.
- the invention achieves its object thanks to a substantially rigid packaging shell of a product, defining an at least partial housing volume of the product having an opening closed by a flexible cover disposed on an annular marginal region of the shell, the shell being made up of at least two parts joined together by an easy opening zone, easily at least partially separable and which can deviate on the side opposite the cover, hinging on the region close to the opening of the shell, characterized in that the shell is substantially hemispherical and the area is an equatorial area.
- the user accesses the product, no longer by opening the cover (which on the other hand could have been used for filling the product in the shell) but by separating the shell into its at least two articulated parts and by opening it, which releases the product housed in the shell and still partially resting on the cover.
- the cover is flexible (at least locally in the axis of the articulation), it does not oppose the articulation of the two shell parts.
- the easy opening zone is a weakened zone, for example thinned, or an open zone covered with a removable strip.
- the invention preferably applies to the packaging of food products, such as cheese or cured meats in individual portions which it is easy to eat without getting dirty.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a shell according to the invention before it is filled and closed
- FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of the same shell after filling and closing with a cover
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the shell as it appears to the consumer
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the same shell after the tear-off of the opening tongue
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the same shell after opening and pivoting of the half-shells.
- the substantially hemispherical shell 1 comprises a flat annular border 2 and is made for example of transparent plastic.
- the shell forms a housing 3, intended to be closed at its circular opening 4.
- the product is introduced (arrow 5) through the opening in the inverted shell 1, then a cover 6, for example in metal-plastic complex, is brought to the border 2 to be sealed there and thus seal the shell 1 with its product 7.
- the shell 1 comprises an open central equatorial zone 8 separating the shell into two symmetrical half-shells la, lb joined by the edge 2.
- the zone 8 is covered externally by an opening strip 9 of which at least one end 10 forms a tongue which can be entered manually.
- the strip 9 protrudes from two sides (or only one side) of the open area 8 to be secured to each of the two half-shells la, lb.
- the strip 8 can be put in place at the time of the molding of the shell, according to known techniques for applying labels in the molds. When it is in place, it tightly closes the zone 8 and therefore makes it possible to fill the product 7.
- the consumer grasps the tongue 10 and pulls it, which takes off the strip 9 and releases the open area 8.
- the two shells are no longer joined except by the edge 2 and the flexible cover 6.
- the consumer can then, with one hand if desired, rotate the two half-shells la, lb substantially around the diameter 11 located at the intersection of the plane of the equatorial zone 8 and the border 2, so as to make appear the product 7, the bottom of which is supported on the cover 6.
- the articulation of the two half-shells is easy insofar as the cover is flexible and does not impede movement and where the edge 2, although more rigid, is relatively narrow.
- a line of weakness for example a thinning
- a strip 9 peeling off entirely, it is possible to provide a strip incorporating an opening wire which tears it apart and allows the two half-shells to be separated.
