Description

PACKAGING FOR ICE CREAM CONES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to mang used for desserts type ice cream c ados. In particular it is related to cuffs that are made of paper.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION CornettoMR cone ice cream cone products are popular and well known. The pads are individually wrapped in a cone shape which covers at least the po of the product and which is sealed with a cap and lid providing structural protection during distribution and sale. The commonly used paper sleeves, thin sheet metal Chocolate is added to form a barrier to the top. The cone is filled with ice cream on top with added or pieces of biscuits, and nuts are supplied to provide an octopus appearance. Subsequently, the upper part of it with a lid. This can be carried out by pressing the open end of the lid. Alternatively, the cap will go to the top of the sleeve. The compression is that it does not require an adhesive, but it does affect the type of material used for the sleeve. It is only possible to compress them, such as a thin sheet of metal, easily by forming a metal fold. The sleeves which are made rigidly to compress easily not made of cardboard or similar material. E ior of the sleeve (ie at the open end is in the form of a series of teeth trapez or the upper part of the cone sleeve is folded on the lid, the separations between the nan the overlap and fold the sleeve s. that the absence of folds lasts between the cone sleeve and the cap.No or an adhesive is required because the term means that it can not be compressed.From, the US document 1 599 267 described for a cone For ice cream which has slots that extend inwards, the slots allow the top edge down to cover and protect the co-ment, they do not allow compression and also do not Materials of materials other than delg sheets can be compressed to form a fold and thus a good seal, with the condition weakening lines (such as perforations or slots) being placed in particular locations of the upper part of the sleeve.

In consecuense; in a first aspect, the provision provides a preform to form a mold for the packaging of a cone product for eforma has an upper edge which curved in part, two lateral edges and at least a nferential weakening which is located From 1 mm to 30 mm from, and generally from the top of the preform, characterized p rma has a plurality of non-circumfering lines located between at least u A cone sleeve formed from a portion according to the first aspect of the invention is rotated.

In a third aspect, the present features a packaged product comprising a frozen frame in the cone sleeve according to the invention and a cover on the open end of the sleeve.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES The present invention will be described with reference to the figures in which: Figure 1 shows a congruent cone shaped preform.

Figure 2 to Figure 4 shows a view with the invention.

Figure 5 shows a cone sleeve f r of the preform shown in Figure 3. or from 45 to 90 °, typically approximately rma has two lateral edges 2 and 3 and an ior. The side edges 2 and 3 generally are so, although one of the side edges 3 can be tensioned 5 and / or a tongue 6 that facilitates the disengagement so that the consumer can separate the product from the sleeve before or during its construction. formed where the lateral edges iden can be rounded to facilitate wrapping the tip of the cone sleeve. The curved upper preform 4 which forms the upper edge when the preform has been assembled pair no. The open end of the cone sleeve is located at the top of the cone to freeze and protect it and accommodate a lid. The upper edge on itself, on top of the lid, so that 1. In order to facilitate the folding of the or to its inherent rigidity otherwise disordered and a poor seal, it prefers it with at least one circumferential line 7, which is located approximately at a distance of between 1 and 30 mm from the edge s found that the line results in a ficatively sharper and tighter. The distance to the top edge is selected by an overlap condition, which requires cone cone and cap. It is usual a super a of approximately 1 mm in order to ensure the sleeve compressed keep the lid in s perposition is less than 30 mm in order to not or complete the lid. Also, the higher the position, the greater the area of paper that is going Usually, they are located close to the preform (for example, at a distance of 1- ras, which for larger ones may be closer to 15 mm or greater).

As shown in Figure 3, the riblet has at least two weakening nulings 7 generally p upper edge 4. More preferably, the three of the circumferential lines. Having a weakening line has the advantage of in tolerance to variations during cone processing so that imido is always obtained tight and clear. Preferably, the distances are closely spaced, eg less than 3 mm, preferably less than 2 mm. For example, in a This reduces the resistance to folding or improves its ability to form a co and good, which keeps the lid in its packaging. Typically, the reference lines are at a maximum maximum angle of 70 ° with respect to the preferable direction, the non-circumferential lines angle less than 45 ° to the direction less than 30 °. They are more preferably at an angle from 5 ° to 25 °, from 10 ° to 20 °, as approximated by the radial direction.

The non-circumferential lines 8 are substantially parallel to each other, as shown as 2 and 3 or alternatively they can form a gzag 8a, 8b, as shown in Figure 4. 16 of the lines provide ex tates. For sleeves with a small cone size approximately 50-100 mm in height when they are), a smaller number of lines of approximately 10 is preferred.

The non-circumferential lines locate one or less a circumferential line and the narrow edge and extend a substantial part between them. Therefore, the boundaries typically have a length in m, preferably at least 2 mm, of a length of at least 3 mm, much more than 5 mm; and preferably at most 2 to more preferably at most 20 mm, less than 15 mm in length, for example about 7-10 mm. For hoses nferential at an angle of 15 ° to the d l which are between a length of 5 mm is shown in figure 3.

The preforms according to the invention are made of paper or a material b, such as paper with a metal-plated coating, paper laminated with a polymer with a barrier layer such as a mat or other barrier material. The shape of the preform can be printed with graphics. Paper has the advantage of being cheaper and more environmentally friendly.) Metallized paper is preferable with thin foil from an environmental perspective, with respect to common paper that is attractive and bright, with better properties.

With a thin layer of polymer layer, the bilíamiento can cut the paper layer without a thin film / polymer. Weaknesses are preferably perforations due to ta in better compression. Grooving, shaping and engraving minimize the risk of tearing present with perforations but nevertheless enough film so that a clean and sharp fold is obtained. The weak lines such as perforations and grooves can be produced mechanically, for example a die tool. A serrated edge is used for rations while a blunt rule is used. Alternatively, s such as lasers can be used.

The weakening lines correspond in the straight portions, if desired.

In addition to the weakening lines, the engraving (in whole or in part) which provides a tiva appearance for the cone sleeve and - when it is upper part of the preform - may onally be in the tablet.

Fig. 5 shows a cone sleeve 11 of the preform shown in Fig. 11 has a lower closed end 19 and an opposite open edge. The sleeve can be known generally as a spiral winding, for example by winding the edor of a conical mandrel. Once the preformed in a cone-shaped sleeve, is r the sleeve along the side edge, for Cone cone Tests were carried out to evaluate the cone sleeves according to the invention. Cones of ice cream in conical sleeves form metalized paper preform having three perforation ferencials located at 7 mm, mm from the upper edge and 16 nferencial lines at an angle of 15 ° with respect to the dl which have an approximate length as shown in figure 3. It is placed on top and upper edge and folded down and compressed to f. The aluminum foil sleeves are easily compressed) and the sleeves hoisted without any of the weakening lines are poorly compressed). for one month.

It is noted that in relation to this faith known method for the applicant to bring the mentioned invention, it is the one that clearly describes the inv ntion.
