Definitions

the present invention relates to an improvement to packages for one or more predetermined amounts of liquid to be frozen, which are described and claimed in the patent application WO 00/34720 in the name of the present applicant.
packages suitable for containing liquids to be frozen were described and illustrated in the figures, said packages consisting essentially of a rigid but elastic sheet of plastic material (especially for foods) which is so shaped to form at least one container to be filled with a liquid, said container being sealed by means of a film which is applied on the upper edge of the container and made to adhere to said edge.
a rigid but elastic sheet of plastic material especially for foods
said container being sealed by means of a film which is applied on the upper edge of the container and made to adhere to said edge.
the room temperature may not always be high enough to cause the desired surface melting
improved packages according to the present invention consist of at least one container, having a substantially parallelepiped form, with a thinned bottom wall provided with linear relieves which are separated by a saddle-like recesses.
the at least two linear relieves provided at the said bottom wall are parallel to two sides of the container and the at least one saddle-like recess is parallel to the relieves.
the containers are more than one in number and are formed by shaping from a sheet of plastic material having sufficient elasticity and rigidity to form the containers with a particular deformability in the regions thereof where the relieves and the separating recess are provided so as to allow one of the relieves to be squeezed by means of the simple pressure of an operator's finger.
the plastic material of the sheet is of a grade compatible with foodstuffs.
the containers formed from the sheet of plastic material are filled with a liquid to be frozen so as to prepare frozen masses of the type already mentioned in the above mentioned patent application.
the above mentioned containers, once filled, are closed and sealed by a sheet of film which is made to adhere to the upper rims of each container.
FIG. 1 is a horizontal view, from below, of a container implementing the improvement to sealed packages according to the present invention
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view, from a first side, of the same container shown in Figure 1;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation view, from a side adjacent to the first, of the container shown in the two preceding figures.
the container 10 has an essentially parallelepiped form, being slightly tapered towards a bottom wall 12 which is thinner than side walls 14, 16, 18 and 20, shown in the figures.
the bottom wall 12 has a first linear relief 22, which is parallel to the side wall 14, a second linear relief 24, which is parallel to the side wall 16, where the two relieves 22 and 24 are separated by a linear saddle-like recess 26 parallel thereto.
a rim 28 is integrally formed at the top of the container 10 to which there adheres a film 30 which is joined in any manner and which seals said container 10, once it has been filled with liquid to be frozen.
a container according to the present invention functions in the following way:
the sealing film 30 which closes the container 10 can be either sufficiently thin as to be broken by the frozen mass when it comes off from the container 10 or it can be of the type that can be removed by means of a projecting separation lug, for example the tab (16) shown in the above mentioned patent application, so that the container 10 does actually open any time the frozen mass contained therein is to be detached from its walls.
