Description

Laminar coverage for product protection arranged in containers such as boxes or drawers of storage, display and / or transport of said products.

Field of the Invention

This utility model refers to a laminar coverage for the protection of products arranged in containers such as boxes or storage drawers, display and / or transport of said products, preferably applicable in perishable food container containers of animal and / or plant origin. This coverage may be printed, totally or partially, with texts and / or images for decorative purposes,  advertising, indicative of the origin and particularities of products contained in the container, etc. It should also be noted which can be made in different thicknesses, adapting from this way, to the highest and diverse demands of the market.

Background of the invention

Within the prior art of the subject they can cite, for example, sheets of plastic material Heat shrinkable, requiring the use of sophisticated machinery to carry out the process of covering and protecting the product in the container container. At the moment it is necessary to access the product the sheet must be broken or cut fixed to the container by means of some cutting element, which It is usually extremely uncomfortable and, in addition, you run the risk of damage the product, especially in the case of fruits and products fruit and vegetable in general. Another material used is cardboard microcorrugated, which in the form of plates extends over the face top of the container containing the products to protect them from the external agents and, as in the case mentioned above, it You must use a sharp element to cut the cardboard. Undoubtedly, this way of covering and protecting products contained in boxes or drawers have certain discomforts when  such laminar covers should be removed, which It deserves to be solved to facilitate the corresponding tasks.

Summary of the Invention

Unlike the examples above cited as prior art in the field, the object laminar coverage of this utility model, in merit to its outstanding features, allows to protect quickly and safely any type of products and, in particular, perishable foods,  preferably food of fruit and vegetable origin arranged in a container container, as well as open it to access such products when necessary, since said sheet has quick fastening strips to the container and at least one die-shaped weakening that makes its opening faster and easier compared to everything known until now.

Detailed description of the invention

In Figure 1, as an example of embodiment of utility model described, it is shown that this coverage laminar is defined by a rectangular geometry sheet, preferably of plastic material, marked with the number of general reference 1, which has a defined cut line by a weakening 6 from where it can be easily cut and open to access products arranged in a container container of them. Said weakening 6 is a die cut which presents a succession of perforations in the form of points close to each other that extend between perimeter edges opposites 7 on sheet 1. However, as deemed appropriate or convenient in practice, said die cutting can be defined by a succession of perforations in the form of aligned segments and close to each other to facilitate the cutting of sheet 1.

Optionally, the weakening 6 can extend, for example, between adjacent perimeter edges 7 and 8 of sheet 1, or diagonally between vertices 2 thereof, or according to any other address and location considered appropriate, for example, depending on the size and geometry of the container container or as it is most convenient for the user. In addition, sheet 1 may also include, as illustrated, a plurality of aeration holes 9, if so suitable for the proper preservation of the product contained in the recipient.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the sheet 1 is fixed from its lower face to the body of the container 9 container of products to protect. To do this, in the proximities of the opposite perimeter edges 8, on the face In the lower part of sheet 1, respective fixing strips 4 are defined, which have a layer of adhesive material 4 covered by a removable protective strip 3. In this way, once the sheet 1 on the container 9 the strip is removed protective 4, then folding the stripes 4 on the walls sides of the container 9 and exerting slight pressure on the same, the sheet 1 will remain firmly adhered to the container 9.

Figure 4 clearly shows the way sheet 1 is cut along the weakening 6 to form an access opening to the products contained in the container 9. The operation to be performed is extremely simple. In effect, manually holding sheet 1 from one or preferably from the two 5 points next to the weakening 6 and one of the edges 7, the parts of sheet 1 are pulled up from the points 5 on both sides of said weakening 6, forcing the tearing of the sections of the sheet material between each pair of holes or stamped segments until completing the division of sheet 1 into two parts and, consequently, leaving discovered the product contained in the container 9 to access it to use it in each case correspond.

Figure 5, in which they are maintained reference numbers for parts equal to or equivalent to already described and illustrated, shows a variant embodiment of the coverage object of this utility model, where the sheet now identified with reference number 10 presented in the ends of the weakening 6 a respective hole 11, whose purpose is to facilitate the cutting of the blade along said weakening 6. Indeed, by inserting a finger or any relatively rigid element through one of holes 11 and exerting a moderate upward pulling force is achieved easily tear successively the small sections of sheet material between the holes in the form of points or segments of the weakening 6. As will be understood, in the practice contemplates the possibility of including one or more holes 11 at various points of weakening 6, if so deemed convenient. In addition, analogously to the realization above, the cut line defined by the weakening 6 can extend in different directions on sheet 10, and there may be several cut lines on the same sheet.

In this variant embodiment of Figure 5, sheet 10 can be fixed to the body of the container by heat-sealed, for example, either from any two of its peripherally opposite edges, from their vertices or, eventually, from the entire perimeter contour of the sheet.

Notwithstanding what is stated in the previous paragraph, it is worth mentioning that in practice the fixing of sheet 10 to container may be made by means of strips of material adhesive and also include aeration holes, such as in the embodiment described above and illustrated according to Figures 1 to 4, and vice versa. That is to say, the model being implemented useful, you can combine the characteristics of both realizations as deemed most appropriate based on the requirements or preferences of the users of this coverage.
