Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a resealable tray and in particular to a new and improved resealable tray having a sealing label which can be pulled back and resealed against a top portion of the container.
- Containers for food products often come packaged in plastic trays. One conventional type includes a thermoformed tray. Several conventional lidding materials are available for covering conventional food trays. Lidding materials may be metal foil, flexible plastic wrap or rigid plastic.
- One such package disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,726,054 is designed for containing breath films or other oral care strips in which the package includes a blister pack having a hinged flap which is resealable against the top surface of the blister pack. The package has a top surface which forms a flange around the perimeter opening of the tray compartment. Another package which is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,691,886 shows a plastic tray with lid film which includes a sealing area around its perimeter which seals to a flange surface of the tray. U.S. Pat. No. 5,647,506 discloses another resealable container comprising a dispenser for moisture-impregnated articles such as moist tissues using a rigid plastic container with an opening formed in its top surface. A resealable label reseals the top opening.
- In another prior dispensing package manufactured under the trade name RESEAL-IT, a thermoformed tray includes a lidding film affixed to an upper flange which encircles the opening of the tray. The lidding includes a die cut flap. A label larger than the flap opening is placed over the flap and spans completely across the lidding between but not onto the flange surfaces of the package. Thus, the label abuts the flange but does not extend onto the flange surface.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,156,493 discloses a reclosable dispenser packet. In one form, the packet includes a semi-rigid container which is thermo-formed or injection molded. A thin, flexible material such as vinyl film or aluminum foil is sealed to a flange of the container. An opening is cut into the flexible material. An adhesive flap is placed over the cut opening and seals with the container top so that the cut portion is permanently affixed to the adhesive flap as it is withdrawn from the top to expose the container opening.
- There exists a need in the art for improved resealable containers suitable for containing food items.
- The present invention provides a new and improved container for food products. The food products may include but are not limited to discrete food items such as cookies, peanuts, cubed or shredded cheese, or other snack items; sliced meats such as cold cuts and bacon, both uncooked and ready-to-eat/ready-to-serve/pre-cooked, and sliced cheese; food spreads such as cream cheese and semi-solid foods such as chocolate dipping sauce and pudding. The container provides protection for the food contents while concurrently facilitating opening of the container and resealing the seal to protect the unused food contents thereof until the contents are fully consumed.
- This purpose is achieved by providing a suitable tray for a desired food product in combination with an easily accessible opening seal formed in a top surface, which seal can reseal the container during use. The container can be of any shape including polygonal, such as square or rectangular, cylindrical or in the shape of a tub. The tray portion of the package may have sides which extend upwardly from the bottom of the tray and terminate at their ends or the sides which may include a flanges which extend either inwardly or outwardly relative to the interior of the tray.
- In accordance with one embodiment, the present invention comprises a food container comprising a tray having a bottom and sides. The sides have a top end surface opposite the bottom. A film is affixed to the top end surface of the side and the film forms a top over the tray. A sealing layer is provided which has a sealing area adhesively sealing the sealing layer along its perimeter to the film around the opening. The sealing area terminates prior to reaching any side forming the tray. The sealing layer is releasable when the sealing layer is pulled in a direction away from the side to in turn pull and thereby release a portion of the sealing layer to provide access to the top access opening and resealable against the top to seal the opening when the sealing layer is moved back against the top.
- In alternative further embodiments, the sealing layer includes a starter portion which can be grasped by a user and the starter portion may comprise a tab which extends from the sealing area of the sealing layer. The film may be composed of different materials which may be flexible, rigid or semi-rigid. In addition, the tray may be composed of either a rigid or semi-rigid material.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a food container comprises a tray having a bottom and sides. The sides have a top end surface opposite the bottom. A food product is disposed in the tray. A film is affixed to the top end surface of the sides of the tray which forms a top over the tray. A sealing layer includes a sealing area adhesively sealing the sealing layer along its perimeter to the top around the opening and terminating prior to reaching any side forming the tray. The sealing layer is releasable when the sealing layer is pulled in a direction away from the side to in turn pull and thereby release at least a portion of the sealing layer to provide access to the top opening and resealable against the top to seal the opening when the sealing layer is moved back against the top.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a food container comprises a tray having a bottom and sides. The sides have a top end surface opposite the bottom. A film is affixed to the sides, thereby forming a top over the tray. The top has an access opening to allow access to the contents inside the container. A sealing layer, having a sealing area, adhesively seals the sealing layer along its entire perimeter to the film around the access opening and extends along the film to overlap at least a portion of the film which is affixed to the top end surface of the side. The sealing layer is releasable when the sealing layer is pulled in a direction away from the side to, in turn pull, and thereby release a portion of the sealing layer to provide access to the access opening and is resealable against the top to seal the opening when the sealing layer is moved back against the top.
- In alternative further embodiments, the sealing layer overlaps the film along at least a portion of the film at each side to which the film is affixed, and a starter portion comprises a tab extending from a corner of the sealing layer.
- Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved resealable container comprising a tray with a film top.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description which follows.
- There follows a detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention, to be read together with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a resealable container in accordance with the present invention, in a closed configuration. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the container ofFIG. 1 in a partially opened condition. -
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the container ofFIG. 1 with the sealing layer removed. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a different polygonal-shaped resealable food container. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a generally cylindrically-shaped resealable food container. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a contour-shaped resealable food container. -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of another resealable container in accordance with an additional embodiment the present invention, in a closed configuration. -
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the container ofFIG. 7 in a partially opened condition. - Referring to the drawings, like elements are represented by like numbers throughout the several views.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1-3 ,resealable container 10 includestray 11 which forms bottom 13 and opposingsides 14 a and 14 b and opposing ends 15 a and 15 b. Aflange 16 extends outwardly from the exterior surface of the opposingsides Tray 11 is preferably manufactured as a thermoformed tray. Alternatively, any other appropriate manufacturing process and materials can be used to form a tray which is suitable for use in accordance with the present invention. -
Film 17 is affixed toflange 16.Film 17 may be composed of a flexible material, semi-rigid material or a rigid material. Abroken line 21 indicates the exterior surface of therespective sides flange 16 extends which is covered byfilm 17. - Alternatively,
tray 11 may not includeflange 16, in which case,film 17 is affixed to the end surface ofsides sides film 17 to be affixed to end surfaces thereof. In another alternative embodiment, the flange may extend inwardly toward the center of the container rather than outwardly as depicted incontainer 10. - A
flap 18 is cut in thefilm 17 as indicated bybroken line 23. As depicted inFIGS. 1 and 2 ,flap 18 is cut completely around its perimeter on all sides. Alternatively, the flap may only be cut on part of its perimeter, such as three sides, leaving the fourth side attached to thefilm 17. Whenflap 18 is pulled back from thecontainer 10, it formsopening 19. - A sealing layer in the form of a
sealing label 20 is affixed to theflap 18. Advantageously, thesealing label 20 is permanently affixed to theflap 18 using an appropriate adhesive. Thesealing label 20 covers a substantial portion of the top formed byfilm 17, extending from the proximity ofend 15 a to the proximity ofend 15 b and from the proximity ofside 14 a to the proximity of side 14 b. The sealing area oflabel 20, i.e., the portion of sealinglabel 20 which is resealably affixed to top 12, terminates prior to anyside container 10. Thus, the sealing area does not abut or extend completely to any end surface or flange of any side ofcontainer 10. - The size of the
opening 19 and hence the size offlap 18 is at least around 30% of the surface area offilm 17 and advantageously at least 50% the surface area offilm 17 so as to more easily gain access to the food contents contained withincontainer 10. - The surface area of sealing
label 20 is advantageously proportional to the size ofopening 19. Advantageously, the surface area of the sealing label should be approximately 1.3 to 2 times and more preferably around 1.8 times the size ofopening 19. Further, it is advantageous to have the size of opening 19 be proportional to the size ofcontainer 10 and food products. - Graphics may be formed on the
sealing label 20 which align with corresponding graphics on top 12 when thesealing label 20 is sealed or otherwise in a flap position ontop 12. Alternatively, sealinglabel 20 may be transparent, allowing the graphics of top 12 to be visible through thesealing label 20. - A starter portion, for example a
tab 22, extends from sealinglabel end 24. As a result,tab 22 can be grasped by one's fingers and thumb such that thetab 22 is easily accessible for one to pull. Further, thetab 22 facilitates closing of the container. The side oftab 22 and its shape are optimized for functionality. Advantageously, thetab 22 has a surface area of 1% to 6% that of the total surface area of sealinglabel 20. -
Adhesive 26 is applied to sealingarea 27 which is in contact with top 12 along a perimeter offlap 18. Advantageously, adhesive 26 provides a removable seal between the sealinglabel 20 and the top 12.Adhesive 26 is not applied totab portion 22. Alternatively, if adhesive is applied to the back surface oftab portion 22, i.e., the surface adjacent the sealingarea 27, a deadening agent, either chemical or a layer is applied thereto, to prevent thetab portion 22 from adhering to the top 12. - The absence of an adhesive on
tab 22 or the application of a deadening agent to the back surface oftab 22 allows a consumer to more easily grasp the starter portion in order to open thecontainer 10 sincetab 22 will not be adhered to the top 12. In addition, by giving a consumer a specific portion of the sealing cover to pull, the consumer is not drawn to touching the adhesive portion of thesealing label 20. Such touching could cause the sealing layer to lose its adhesiveness and thus not provide a proper reseal against the top 12 of thecontainer 10. This could, in turn, allow air to gain access to the interior of thecontainer 10 and the food product contained therein. -
Container 10 is transformed from a closed condition shown inFIG. 1 to a partially opened condition depicted inFIG. 2 by grasping thetab 22 between one's finger and thumb and pulling back on thesealing layer 20 to gain access toopening 19. Oncecontainer 10 is opened, one can removefood product 28 such as cookies inside the food container throughopening 19. Although thefood product 28 is depicted as cookies, thefood product 28 can be virtually any food item which includes but is not limited to discrete food items such as cookies, peanuts, cubed or shredded cheese, or other snack items; sliced food items such as sliced deli meats or sliced cheese; solid food items such as a brick of cheese and semi-solid food items such as food spreads, cream cheese, chocolate dipping sauce and pudding. - In an alternative form of the present invention,
container 40 has a hexagonal shape formed bytray 41 depicted inFIG. 4 . Aspects of the functionality of the opening ofcontainer 40 are identical to those ofcontainer 10 except for those distinctions described herein.Film 47 is affixed to the top ends ofsides 45 which unlikecontainer 10 does not include an extending flange. Thesides 45 are sufficiently thick to allow thefilm 47 to be affixed to end surfaces thereof.Flap 48 is die cut intofilm 47 on five sides leaving a sixth side 45 b uncut as indicated bybroken line 49, thereby permanently attachingflap 46 to film 47 on that sixth side 45 b.Tab 42 extends from side 45 a which advantageously allows one to easily grasp the tab 44. Liketab 22, there is no adhesive on the bottom surface of tab 44 so that tab 44 is not sealed to film 47. Further, althoughtab 42 extends past side 45 a, the sealing area of sealinglabel 46 does not extend all the way to sides 45. Pulling back ontab 42 allows one to remove sealinglayer 46 affixed toflap 48 to gain access to the contents ofcontainer 40. - In an alternative embodiment,
FIG. 5 depicts a generallycylindrical container 50 withcircular sealing label 56 withtab 52 sealed to film 57. The access opening and flap are shown bybroken line 59.FIG. 6 depicts yet another shapedcontainer 60 having a contoured half peanut-shaped form for holdingfood product 68 such as peanuts. In the embodiments ofFIGS. 5 and 6 , as in the embodiments ofFIGS. 1-4 , one gains access to the contents ofcontainers tabs labels container 50 by returning sealinglabel film label film - In an additional alternative embodiment,
FIGS. 7 and 8 depictcontainer 70 which is similar tocontainer 10, where like elements have reference numbers increased by 60, but differs fromcontainer 10 in thatsealing label 80 extends alongfilm 77 to overlap a portion offilm 77 affixed toflange 76, along the entire perimeter oftop 72.Broken line 81 is used inFIGS. 7 and 8 to delineate thesides film 77 and sealinglabel 80.Broken line 83 is used inFIG. 7 to depict the diecut forming flap 78. Atab 82 extends from a corner of the sealing area of sealinglabel 80. One gains access into thecontainer 70 by pulling back ontab 82 of thesealing label 80, thereby exposingopening 79. - One advantage of having the sealing
label 80 overlapping thefilm 77 along a portion of thefilm 77 which is affixed to theflange 76 is that this configuration allows one to reseal thecontainer 70 by pressing theflexible sealing label 80 along a more rigid flange material of the tray rather than an unsupported portion of the film. - The present invention offers numerous features and advantages over previous food containers. For example, in one form, the present invention includes a tab element which extends beyond a corner or edge of a top or side of the container which makes the tab easily accessible for being grasped and for withdrawing the sealing label from the container.
- Another feature of the present invention is provided by a resealable sealing label which can be pulled back and resealed against a top portion of a flexible or rigid container.
- Yet another feature of the present invention is provided by a sealing layer which extends over an opening in a container, but terminates prior to reaching any side of the container.
- Although the invention has been described above in relation to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations and modifications can be effected in these preferred embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
