Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of packaging the single-dose pods or capsules containing a preparation for dispensing a beverage.
  • the invention relates to a package of capsules containing coffee in granular form suitable to an infusion process in a dispensing machine.
  • the invention relates to the packaging of containers, in particular disposable containers, containing a measured dose of a granular or liquid ingredient suitable to an infusion process, solution, mixing or other.
  • the packaging of such pods or capsules for their transportation and storage preceding the use is particularly critical, especially for the purpose of the preservation of the organoleptic properties of the packaged ingredient.
  • the relative packages can be improved, above all in relation to their suitability to their display in the stores and to their overall dimensions.
  • the present invention aims at meeting the needs mentioned above with reference to the known art.
  • the package of the invention has elongated shape, in particular similar to a cylinder or a parallelepiped. It mainly includes a predetermined number of capsules - or, more in general, containers filled up with a food preparation - arranged in one or more rows and supported on a tray having elongated shape too.
  • the package also includes a casing wrapping the capsules and the tray placed below them.
  • the casing is at least partially transparent.
  • the casing is impermeable to liquids and gases and in particular to oxygen.
  • capsule a product is meant formed by a measured dose of a granular ingredient (or prepared product), typically coffee, enclosed in a rigid or half-rigid and generally at least partially waterproof container.
  • the package can include a product alternative to the capsules, for example a container of a prepared product for beverages of other type.
  • the package according to the present invention results to be extremely compact and it is suitable for a simplified storage and for an effective display.
  • the package can be of the sealed type and then it can keep unaltered the organoleptic properties of the food prepared product.
  • a package according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is designated as a whole with 1.
  • the package 1 has a substantially elongated shape according to its own prevalent longitudinal direction L.
  • the package 1 comprises a gas-tight, in particular oxygen-tight, casing 2, having a substantially tubular configuration, closed at its own longitudinal ends, designated with 21 and 22, respectively.
  • a gas-tight, in particular oxygen-tight, casing 2 having a substantially tubular configuration, closed at its own longitudinal ends, designated with 21 and 22, respectively.
  • Such closing can be performed with methods known on themselves in the art.
  • the closing can be obtained by heat sealing the edges, in particular with a gripper or press.
  • An analogous closing can be provided longitudinally on the casing, when this is implemented starting from one single element made of sheet.
  • the casing 2 is at least partially transparent, so as to allow the total or partial viewing of at least one of a plurality of containers housed inside thereof.
  • five containers are provided, designated with the numeral references from 31 to 35 respectively, each one thereof encloses a predetermined, or measured dose, of a food prepared product. The latter is shown as an example in a cutaway view of the container 31 in Figure 1B and herein designated with 4.
  • each container is a capsule of the disposable and single-dose type, wherein the food prepared product 4 is suitable for the preparation of a beverage in an infusion process.
  • the food prepared product 4 is - or is based upon - coffee in powder or granules.
  • Each container of the present embodiment comprises a main body 40 substantially shaped like a cup or receptacle, and in particular substantially truncated cone.
  • the main body 40 has a mouth, or opening, closed by means of a film or membrane, in particular of gas tight, and preferably (at least) oxygen-tight, type. Both the mouth and the film are designated with 41 in Figure 1B .
  • the main body further has a lateral skirt 43 joining the mouth 41 to a base or bottom 42.
  • the latter in the present example, is a shaped bottom configured for the discharge of the beverage during an infusion process.
  • the capsules 31-35 can be of the type compatible with the machines commercially known as "Dolce Gusto ® ".
  • the five containers 31-35 are identical at least in the substantial aspects, however being able to differ, for example, in colour or labelling of the capsule body and/or the related content.
  • Each capsule 31-35 is rested upon a tray 5 at its own mouth with film 41.
  • the capsules are arranged in one single longitudinal row.
  • the tray 5 has an elongated shape in the longitudinal direction L and it is enclosed in the casing 2 too.
  • the tray comprises a central portion 50 defining a resting plane 501 for the containers 31-35 and two side flanks, 51 and 52 respectively, folded towards the inside of the package itself and substantially orthogonal, or angled, with respect to the resting plane 501.
  • the tray 5 can be made of paper or fibrous material in general.
  • the tray 5, the main bodies 40 of the capsules and/or the casing 2 are made of compostable material.
  • the package appears substantially like a transparent tube housing inside thereof a plurality of capsules rested upon a tray.
  • Figures 2A and 2B relate to another embodiment of the invention, designated with 100, which will be described only with respect to the differences with what illustrated above in relation to Figures 1A and 1B .
  • the package 100 comprises capsules 131-135, having a main body 140 with tapered shape with lower height with respect to the capsules 31-35. Moreover, the relative base or bottom 142 is substantially flat.
  • the capsules 131-135 are of the type compatible with the dispensing machines commercially known as "A Modo Mio ® ".
