Description

L'invention concerne un emballage à deux compartiments utilisable dans un four micro-ondes pour le réchauffe­ment différencié de deux constituants séparés d'un produit alimentaire.The invention relates to a two-compartment packaging usable in a microwave oven for the differentiated heating of two separate constituents of a food product.

Le brevet US 2714070 concerne déjà un récipient à deux compartiments pour le réchauffage différencié. Dans ce récipient, la coupelle centrale contient une sauce qui doit être réchauffée et la zone périphérique de la crème glacée qui bien sûr ne doit pas fondre. L'emballage, objet de la présente invention vise un but totalement opposé de celui visé par le brevet US 2714070. En effet, selon l'invention, on souhaite développer un emballage dans lequel le produit contenu dans la partie centrale reste froid ou tiède et le produit contenu dans la zone périphérique doit être réchauffé. Par réchauffage, on entend le fait de porter la température moyenne de la zone concernée à une valeur supérieure à 60°C.US Patent 2714070 already relates to a container with two compartments for differentiated heating. In this container, the central cup contains a sauce which must be reheated and the peripheral area of the ice cream which, of course, must not melt. The packaging which is the subject of the present invention aims at a goal completely opposite to that aimed by US patent 2714070. Indeed, according to the invention, it is desired to develop a packaging in which the product contained in the central part remains cold or warm and the product contained in the peripheral zone must be reheated. By reheating, we mean bringing the average temperature of the zone concerned to a value greater than 60 ° C.

L'invention concerne un emballage à deux compartiments utilisable dans un four micro-ondes pour le réchauffe­ment différencié de deux constituants séparés, compre­nant une barquette annulaire permettant le réchauffage du constituant y contenu et une coupelle centrale permettant le maintien du constituant y contenu à une température nettement inférieure à la précédente, lesdites barquette et coupelle étant en un matériau n'absorbant pas l'énergie micro-ondes et la hauteur de la coupelle centrale étant égale ou inférieure à celle de la barquette annulaire.The invention relates to a two-compartment packaging usable in a microwave oven for the differentiated heating of two separate components, comprising an annular tray allowing the heating of the component contained therein and a central cup allowing the component contained therein to be kept at a temperature significantly lower than the previous one, said tray and cup being made of a material which does not absorb microwave energy and the height of the central cup being equal to or less than that of the annular tray.

Le matériau utilisé ne doit pas d'une part chauffer lorsqu'il est placé dans un champ micro-ondes et d'autre part il doit laisser passer ladite énergie micro-ondes.The material used must not on the one hand heat when placed in a microwave field and on the other hand it must allow said microwave energy to pass.

Par barquette annulaire, on entend une barquette ména­geant pour le produit à réchauffer un canal annulaire. Ledit canal a de préférence une forme de demi-tore, par exemple circulaire, elliptique, hexagonale, octogonale ou toute autre forme géométrique compatible et suscepti­ble d'être fabriquée industriellement. La coupelle centrale a une forme sensiblement cylindrique ou tronco­nique. La barquette et la coupelle ont chacune un fond plat ou arrondi.The term “annular tray” is intended to mean a tray which provides an annular channel for the product to be heated. Said channel preferably has the shape of a half-torus, for example circular, elliptical, hexagonal, octagonal or any other compatible geometric shape capable of being manufactured industrially. The central cup has a substantially cylindrical or frustoconical shape. The tray and the dish each have a flat or rounded bottom.

Le matériau utilisé est une matière plastique compatible dans le domaine alimentaire et supportant sans déforma­tion une température d'au moins 100°C (compte tenu des transferts d'énergie de la masse réchauffée). On utilise de préférence du polypropylène, du polyéthylène, du polystyrène ou du polyester.The material used is a plastic material compatible in the food sector and withstanding without deformation a temperature of at least 100 ° C (taking into account energy transfers from the reheated mass). Polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene or polyester are preferably used.

La barquette annulaire et la coupelle sont fabriquées dans le même matériau ou dans des matériaux différents. Ces éléments sont obtenus soit par moulage, soit par injection, soit par thermoformage.The annular tray and the dish are made of the same material or of different materials. These elements are obtained either by molding, by injection, or by thermoforming.

La barquette et la coupelle sont soit fabriquées d'un seul tenant (dans ce cas bien sûr dans le même maté­riau), soit chacune séparément.The tray and the dish are either made in one piece (in this case of course in the same material), or each separately.

L'emballage, objet de la présente invention, met à profit l'effet de bord en régénération micro-ondes, permettant d'obtenir un réchauffage du produit dans la barquette annulaire en une durée comprise entre 2 et 7 minutes. Le but recherché, dans le présent développe­ment, est de mettre à disposition du consommateur, un emballage avec un produit dont la consommation se fait dans ledit emballage même, sans assiette, couteau et fourchette. Une fourchette, une cuillère, un pique à usage unique, fabriqués dans un matériau compatible avec les températures atteintes et la forme de l'emballage, peuvent lui être fournis.The packaging, object of the present invention, takes advantage of the edge effect in microwave regeneration, making it possible to reheat the product in the annular tray in a period of between 2 and 7 minutes. The aim sought, in the present development, is to make available to the consumer, a packaging with a product whose consumption is done in said packaging itself, without plate, knife and fork. A disposable fork, spoon, spade, made of a material compatible with the temperatures reached and the shape of the packaging, can be provided.

Il est bien sûr possible d'optimiser l'emballage selon l'invention : on choisit pour cela une hauteur de barquette annulaire comprise entre 25 et 50 mm et de coupelle centrale inférieure de 5 à 10 mm de celle de la barquette. La coupelle centrale a un diamètre compris entre 40 et 70 mm et la barquette annulaire un diamètre extérieur compris entre 120 et 200 mm, non compris le rebord supérieur, améliorant la rigidité du dispositif. L'écart entre la coupelle centrale et la barquette annulaire influent également sur la différence de réchauffement. Par écart, on entend la distance à mi-hauteur entre l'extérieur de la coupelle centrale et l'intérieur de la barquette annulaire. Cet écart est normalement compris entre 10 et 20 mm.It is of course possible to optimize the packaging according to the invention: for this, an annular tray height of between 25 and 50 mm and a central cup lower by 5 to 10 mm than that of the tray is chosen. The central cup has a diameter between 40 and 70 mm and the annular tray an outside diameter between 120 and 200 mm, not including the upper rim, improving the rigidity of the device. The difference between the central cup and the annular tray also influences the difference in heating. By difference is meant the distance at mid-height between the outside of the central cup and the inside of the annular tray. This difference is normally between 10 and 20 mm.

La coupelle centrale est prévue pour contenir de la sauce qui reste froide ou tiède et la barquette annu­laire des morceaux de viande, de poisson, d'oeuf ou de légumes. On atteint ainsi une température supérieure à 60°C pour le produit annulaire et de l'ordre de 30°C pour la sauce.The central cup is intended to contain sauce that remains cold or lukewarm and the annular tray for pieces of meat, fish, eggs or vegetables. A temperature above 60 ° C is thus reached for the annular product and of the order of 30 ° C for the sauce.

Le poids total du produit à consommer (centre + périphé­rie) est prévu d'environ 250 g, dont environ 40 g de sauce.The total weight of the product to be consumed (center + periphery) is expected to be around 250 g, including around 40 g of sauce.

Le rapport en volume de la coupelle centrale à la barquette annulaire est compris entre 1:5 et 1:10, de préférence 1:7..The volume ratio of the central cup to the annular tray is between 1: 5 and 1:10, preferably 1: 7.

On prévoit également un couvercle sur l'emballage global. Ce couvercle est soit à vissage, soit à encli­quetage ou tout autre mode connu en soi. Cet emballage est surtout envisagé pour des aliments surgelés.A cover is also provided on the overall packaging. This cover is either screwed, snap-on or any other mode known per se. This packaging is mainly intended for frozen food.

La suite de la description est faite en référence aux dessins sur lesquels :

  • Fig 1 est une vue en perspective de l'emballage selon l'invention.
  • Fig 2 est une coupe médiane de l'emballage de la Fig 1.
