Abstract

Food transport container (1) for transporting commercially available shells (5) and / or 6-egg cartons (6) or alternatively loosely in trays (9,12) to be received food, the trays (9,12) one above the other in the transport container (1) can be used, characterized in that the transport container (1) is dimensioned so that two fruit bowls (5) or egg cartons (6) or a fruit bowl (5) and an egg carton (6) in the transport container (1) transversely to its longitudinal direction or find two shells (9,12) one above the other.

Description

The invention relates to a container made of plastic for bringing pressure sensitive food from home shopping.

Pressure-sensitive foods such as eggs, ravioli, strawberries, etc. are in the shopping bag to the pressure of other purchases exposed, as well as external shock. Eggs can be damaged and leak because the egg carton does not catch stronger shocks. Likewise, ravioli and gnocchi in plain paper bags are completely unprotected against pressure, with ravioli even without pressure from the outside already when superimposed cake together because of their own weight and later can be separated only with difficulty. This succeeds but usually only imperfectly, because the outer surfaces are so strongly glued together that rip open many ravioli in the attempt of separation.

Also, the protection of fruit in the usual bowls is insufficient.

A variety of plastic trays for storing fruit and other foods is known. So is in DE 10 2016 003 207 A 1 describes a multi-compartment tray for different fruits, which serve to store them after they have already been purchased and brought home.

Also serves the larger equipped with a hinged shelf intermediate container EP 3290350 the storage of fruits and other foods.

In contrast, in DE 20 2007 016 077 U 1 describes a container for packaging and transporting large sized food, especially for fruit and vegetable products, which avoids squeezing or impacting the contents.

For the transport of eggs without the usual egg cartons, the "meibox", already well established on the market, serves EP 2 210 825 B 1. This is a container with hinged lid and two inserts for a total of eight eggs, which allows safe transport of the eggs in the shopping bag. Moreover, for storing a larger number of eggs, a plurality of containers can be stably stacked on one another in a form-fitting manner.

The purpose of the present invention is to enable safe transport of various pressure-sensitive foods such as fruit bowls, eggs, gnocchi, ravioli, etc. in the shopping bag.

This purpose is realized by a container that can be equipped depending on the food to be transported.

The container according to the invention has relatively large dimensions (L 23 cm, W 18.5 cm, H 8 cm), which make it possible, two fruit bowls the dimensions L 18 cm, W 12 cm, H 7.5 cm (including 1.5 cm of fruit supernatant). Instead, two 6-piece egg cartons of dimensions L 16 cm, W 11 cm, H 7 cm (preferably reusable executed in plastic) can be used or a combination of fruit bowl and egg carton.

Furthermore, the container can be converted to receiving unpackaged food such as gnocchi, ravioli, or sausage, ham, etc .. These can be placed in two in the container one above the other to be used shells up to a height of 3.3 cm.

The lower shell has the dimensions of L 22 cm, W 15 cm, H 3.3 cm. At its upper edge, a horizontal projection projects outwards all around, such that the distance to the inner walls of the container is in each case 1 mm.

The upper shell also has the dimensions of L 22 cm, H 3.3 cm and exceeds with a width of 17 cm clearly that of the lower shell. This ensures a secure state of the bottom of the upper shell on the lateral projection of the lower shell. Also, the upper shell has a horizontally extending overhang at a distance of 1 mm to the inner walls of the closed container.

The lower shell is divided by two centrally longitudinal and transverse ridges of 1 cm in height. At the longitudinal bridge, a 6 cm long increase to 3.3 cm is used in the middle as a handle.

The upper shell is divided into two halves by a transverse 1 cm high bridge. In the middle of the bridge, a 6 cm long increase to 4.2 cm is also arranged here as a handle.

The bottom of the shells may have a plurality of smaller upwardly directed knobs, which make it difficult for the loose transported goods to slip.

The upper end of the container forms a laterally arranged over a film hinge 2.5 cm high lid, whose trained as a circumferential 0.9 cm wide edge engages in the reinforced to 0.5 cm upper edge of the container and on the hinge opposite Side has a stable clip closure.

For ventilation, the container in the lid has small holes, as well as the shells in the upper part of the side walls.

• 2 einen Querschnitt der NOPRESS-box mit eingesetzter unterer und oberer Schale, beide jeweils gleichfalls als Querschnitt,
• 3 eine perspektivische Ansicht der oberen Schale,
• 4 eine perspektivische Ansicht der unteren Schale.

The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. It shows in a schematic representation:

• 1 a longitudinal section of the invention NOPRESS box with inserted fruit bowl and egg carton, both in each case as a cross section,
• 2 a cross-section of the NOPRESS box with inserted lower and upper shell, both also in each case as a cross section,
• 3 a perspective view of the upper shell,
• 4 a perspective view of the lower shell.

One in total with 1 designated in 1 recognizable NOPRESS box has a container 2 with lid 3 and lid edge with groove 4 on, in the transverse to the longitudinal direction of the container ever a fruit bowl 5 and an egg carton 6 are used.

Instead of fruit bowls and / or egg cartons (or a combination, as in 1 shown), the NOPRESS box can have two rectangular trays, as in 2 shown, record. The lower shell 9 is relatively narrow. Thus, the upper shell 12 with its wider bottom on the sidewalls and overhang 13 the lower shell 9 rest. Both bowls have at the upper end of their walls each horizontally outward protrusions 13 . 14 up to a distance of 1 mm each to the inner walls of the NOPRESS box 1 reach. This prevents a horizontal shifting of the shells. The supernatant 13 the lower shell 9 lies in the area of the container 2 , the one 14 the upper shell 12 in the area of the (closed) lid 3 ,

3 shows the upper shell 12 with supernatant 14 and transverse jetty 10 velvet handle 11 placed at a distance of 1 mm to the upper inner surface of the lid 3 ranges, recognizable in 2 ,

4 shows the lower shell 9 with crossbar 15 as well as longitudinal bar 16 velvet handle 17 , with 1 mm distance to the bottom of the upper shell 12 ranges, recognizable in 2 ,
