Description

DESCRIPTION

CONTAINER FOR SAUSAGES

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a packaging for sausages, which allows its sliced storage with easy extraction, and protects the content from the action of light.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, certain meat products are sold in fractions obtained from larger pieces. For example, the sale of sliced sausage in blister packs is very common.

This product format has several drawbacks: on the one hand, the transfer of flavor from the plastic to the product, which is intensified in the vacuum or low pressure conditions in which the container is made. On the other hand, the difficulty of extracting the product by slices is also a drawback, which is attempted to be solved by inserting plastic sheets between them, which increases the transfer of flavor with the plastic, and does not completely solve the problem because the slices continue to stick to the plastic and tear when removed, especially when cold.

On the other hand, this type of product is very sensitive to the action of light, which causes oxidation and surface degradation, even with changes in tone and loss of original colours. This, in addition to the possible condition from the organoleptic point of view, is also a deterrent for the customer when making the purchase.

It should be noted that, within the food industry, containers have been known for many years that include a glass or glass jar, with a twist-lock lid, widely used in preserves, jams, etc., since the material of the jar does not it adds no flavor to the product, and in addition the lid allows the best conservation of the product if it is going to be consumed in several days. However, the light permeability of the crystal or glass still has the drawback that sunlight may affect the content.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The packaging for sausages of the invention is of the type that comprises a glass or glass jar with a twist-lock lid, where according to the invention the jar comprises a complete perimeter opacity (that is, it completely covers the seen perimeter of the jar), and that can be done in any technical way (smoking, application of toppings, etc.)

In this way, the advantages of conserving the product in a glass jar are obtained (no transfer of flavours, ease of closing and conservation for consumption in several doses, etc.), with the additional advantage that it prevents light from coming into contact with the product (since the base of the jar is supported and the lid is metallic and therefore also opaque), and where in said opacity the brand or any other graphic can also be printed, which will be easily visible, giving it the background color that is desired to opaque

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The packaging (1) for sausages of the invention is of the type comprising a glass or glass jar (2) with a twist-lock lid (3), where the jar (2) comprises a complete perimeter opacity (4).

Very preferably, the perimeter opacity (4) comprises an opaque label (5), which covers the entire perimeter of the jar (2). This, in addition, facilitates the inclusion of graphics in it, and the paper is 100% opaque, fully achieving the desired functionality.

In addition, ideally the jar (2) has a reduced height with respect to its diameter (of the order of half or less), since this achieves a reduced depth with respect to the mouth and a configuration similar to that of a plate, which makes it easier to extract the product from its interior and separate the slices.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
