Definitions

  • This invention relates to a food product container, and more particularly to a container having (i) a food container tray including a base, a sidewall extending from the base which terminates in a flange and, at least one projection made of a meltable plastic material extending from at least a portion of the flange and (ii) a food container jacket partially surrounding the food package tray.
  • Packaged foods and more particularly, the so-called "eat-in-box” foods are becoming increasingly popular with consumers. These foods offer the consumer a fast and convenient way to prepare and serve a meal. Typically, these packaged foods are bought in the frozen foods section of a supermarket, brought home and then cooked either in a conventional or microwave oven.
  • the "eat-in-box” foods offer the added convenience of allowing the consumer to merely place the entire food package into the oven, and when cooked, eat the food right out of the package. Thus, there is no need to transfer the packaged food to a separate cooking container or to a dish.
  • Another purpose of a food package is to provide a surface on which informational and marketing indicia are printed. For example, it is well known that an attractive food package can be influential in the consumer's purchasing decision. Thus, vendors of food products spend a considerable amount of time designing the packaging and labelling of their products.
  • the first is a die cut paperboard container having a paperboard lid.
  • the paperboard is coated with a plastic material, such as polyester, in order to make the paperboard ovenable.
  • microwave susceptor material such as aluminum, is interposed between the paperboard and the plastic material.
  • the lid is removed from the container and the container is placed directly in the oven. After cooking, the consumer can eat right out of the container.
  • These paperboard containers while effective, lack some rigidity and strength and are generally associated with lower cost frozen dinners and entrees.
  • the second type of "eat-in-box” package involves the use of a plastic container, made of crystallized polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as "C-PETE") which is covered by a flexible aluminum foil lid.
  • C-PETE crystallized polyethylene terephthalate
  • the container with the aluminum foil lid is then subsequently placed in a cardboard box.

  • This projection 90 is made of a meltable plastic material, such as C-PETE. It will be appreciated that the projection 90 can be integrally formed with the horizontal flange portion 36 although the invention is not limited to an integrally formed projection 90 but also contemplates other methods of forming the projection.

  • a heat seal die 96 is then brought into contact with the top of the lid 26 and presses the lid 26 into contact initially with the point 94 of projection 90.
  • An anvil 98 is provided underneath flange 36 in order to provide support for pressing the lid 26 against flange 36.
  • the heat seal die 98 applies heat to the lid 26, which heat is transferred through the lid 26 and then to the projection 90.
  • the heat melts the polyester coating 26b to the projection 90 to form a tight secure bond between the lid 26 and the horizontal flange portion 36.
  • the projection 90 provides several advantages. First, it provides a starting point to facilitate melting of the coating 26b to the horizontal flange portion 36. That is, the polyester coating 26b of the lid 26 initially contacts the projection 90 at point 94 and thus initially contacts the tray 22 at a smaller surface area. It will be appreciated that it is much easier to start to melt the point 94 because it has a smaller cross-sectional area, than it would be if there was no projection and the lid 26 would have to be melted directly onto horizontal flange portion 36. This allows a paperboard lid coated with polyester to be applied to a C-PETE base, something those skilled in the art have been unable to do successfully up to this time.
  • the projection 90 upon melting, can absorb variations in the wall thickness of the horizontal flange portion 36.
  • a problem in the prior art was that sealing a lid directly to the horizontal flange, if the horizontal flange had variations in thickness, can create gaps so that heat from the sealing die was not transferred from the lid to the horizontal portion. Because there is no melting of the lid to the flange at these gaps, the lid sometimes is not properly sealed, thus creating gaps through which air and contaminants could get into the package and through which the food in the package can leak out of the package.
  • the projection 90 when melted will tend to flow and even out the variations in wall thickness so that a secure and tight seal is made between the lid 26 and the horizontal portion 36.
  • the tray 22 itself may be formed such that portions of the horizontal flange portion 36 are at different heights. Without projection 90 this would mean that the lid would not contact the portions of the horizontal flange portion 36 that are lower than other portions of the horizontal portion. This causes the problems mentioned above. With the projection 90, even if the package is formed so that the horizontal flange portion 36 is disposed at different heights, the lid 26 contacts the point 94 of the projection 90 all around the horizontal flange portion 36 thus insuring a tight and secure seal between the lid 26 and the horizontal flange portion 36. Referring now to Figure 12, another embodiment of a food container tray 120 that can be used in the invention is shown.
  • the tray 120 includes a non-circular base 122, which is shown in the Figures in the form of a rectangle although it will be appreciated that any shape of a tray can be used (such as circular or hexagonal, for example) and still be within the scope of the invention.
  • the base 122 is preferably made of C-PETE embedded with microwave susceptor material, such as aluminum or alumina although it will be understood that other materials, such as paperboard coated with a high temperature coating, such as polyester, can be used.
  • the materials used, the method of making these materials and the method of forming the base 122 are disclosed in co-pending and commonly owned United States Patent Application Serial No. 08/285,249 filed August 3, 1994 which is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
  • the base 122 consists of a floor portion 124 and a sidewall portion 126.
  • the sidewall portion 126 terminates in a horizontal flange portion 130 that extends generally horizontally from the sidewall portion 126.
  • the base 122 has integrally formed therein a plurality of raised ovals with two smaller ovals such as ovals 140 and 142 being sandwiched by two larger ovals 144 and 146 with this pattern being repeated around the base 122.
  • the ovals, such as larger oval 146 has sidewall 150 ( Figure 13) that extends upwardly and inwardly from the floor portion 124 of the base 122 and then terminates in a central plateau 151.

  • Score line 121m is also provided to form a finger tab to facilitate separation of the central portion 12lj from the perimeter portion 121k.
  • pizza 180 is shown having toppings 202 placed thereon. The pizza 180 is supported on the plateaus of the ovals such as plateaus 151 and 156. It will be appreciated that an interior gap 204 is maintained between the bottom portion of the pizza crust 206 and floor portion 124.
  • the interior gaps, such as gap 204, created between the pizza 180 and the base enhance the uniform heating of the pizza 180. Furthermore, the steam created by moisture in the frozen pizza which is heated is able to be vented from the bottom of the pizza 180 thus preventing sogginess of the pizza and creating a crispy crust. This steam also creates a "steam blanket" above the pizza 180 that enhances melting of the cheese on top of the pizza 180.
  • base 122 with pizza 180 thereon when the base 122 with pizza 180 thereon is placed in a microwave oven, an exterior gap 210 is formed between the base 122 and the support surface 212 of the microwave oven in which the pizza 180 is cooked.
  • base 122 does not act as heat sink to draw away the heat created by the microwaves in cooking the pizza 180. This leads to uniform heating of the entire pizza 180 and also the elimination of so-called "cold spots" in the pizza 180.
  • the exterior gap 210 is created by a plurality of leg members, four of which, leg members 230, 232, 234 and 236 are shown in Figures 1-3.
