Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container particularly usable for confectionery or food products.
  • plastic containers used for example for yogurts, allows both preservation of the organoleptic characteristics of the product and ease in transport, since the container can withstand slight impacts.
  • a principal object of the present invention is therefore to solve the described technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks observed in known types and thus obtaining a container for confectionery or food products which has optimum storage characteristics prior to the filling step and allows the purchaser to consume the product when desired.
  • Another important object is to provide a container which is reliable and safe in use in compliance with hygienic rules.
  • Another object is to provide a container having low manufacturing costs and which can be obtained with conventional known machines.
  • a container particularly for confectionery or food products, comprising a stackable tray having, at its upper perimetric edge, at least one seat which can be re-closed by a lid and accommodates an item of cutlery.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates the container, which comprises a tray 2, preferably made of plastics, which is essentially frustrum-shaped with an upper perimetric edge 3 at which there is an opening 4 for access to the confectionery or food product 5.
  • the inclination of the side walls 6 of the tray 2 is such as to allow to stack them, together with other factors highlighted hereinafter.
  • a pair of seats 7a and 7b is in fact defined at the upper perimetric edge 3 of the tray 2, along at least one diagonal axis; the tip 8 and the opposite end 9 of an item of cutlery, such as for example a small spoon 10, can be rested and supported at said seats.
  • said pair of seats 7a and 7b is formed at a diagonal of the opening 4, with such a depth as to allow to contain the spoon 10 below the plane of arrangement of the upper perimetric edge 3, so as to allow to apply thereon a sealing lid 11 removable by the user.
  • the pair of seats 7a and 7b is furthermore formed at adapted wings 12a and 12b protruding slightly beyond the side walls 6 of the tray 2.
  • adapted means suitable to facilitate tray stacking are constituted by adapted teeth 13, the ends 14 whereof, directed toward the bottom 15 of the tray 2, interacting either with the upper perimetric edge 3 of the underlying tray or with the bottom of one of the pairs of seats 7a and 7b.
  • This allows to easily stack a plurality of trays without causing contact between their bottoms 15 or their side walls 6; thus, the volume occupied by the stacked trays is considerably contained on one hand, since a large number of trays can be stacked with optimum stability due to the presence of the teeth 13.
  • a container which advantageously on one hand can be easily stored by stacking the trays prior to the insertion of the confectionery or food products and on the other hand allows the user immediate consumption after purchase of the product contained in the tray, since it is sufficient to remove the lid, take hold of the spoon and then pick up the product.
  • the pair of seats 7a and 7b may be formed along a side which is longitudinal or transverse to the tray 2, and a plurality of pairs of seats may also be provided for containing a plurality of items of cutlery.
  • the seat for the item of cutlery may be formed inside or outside the tray, for example on its bottom; the item of cutlery may furthermore be associated outside the tray.
  • the shape of the pair of seats 7a and 7b may also be the most appropriate according to the specific shape of the item of cutlery.
