Abstract
A unit for the packaging and presentation of at least one product of a solid or semi-solid consistency. The product is received in a cavity of a supporting element and the cavity is delimited by a substantially flat bottom and by a side wall substantially perpendicular to the bottom. Provision is made for an elastic device for holding the product in position in the cavity between at least one portion of the side wall delimiting the cavity and the product, allowing the product to be extracted from the cavity at will, and the introduction of fresh product to be placed in position.
Claims32
A unit for packaging and presenting at least one product, the unit comprising:
- a supporting element having a cavity for receiving the at least one product, the cavity being delimited by a substantially flat bottom and a side wall which is substantially perpendicular to the substantially flat bottom, said side wall having slots;
- and
- an elastic holding means for ensuring a holding in position of the at least one product in the cavity, permitting an extraction of the at least one product from the cavity, and a setting in position of a new product, said elastic holding means being flexible, shock resistant and deformable in all directions, said elastic holding means being partially situated within said side wall which delimits the cavity and having a portion which protrudes through said slots, wherein said portion of the elastic holding means contacts said at least one product through said slots.
A unit for packaging and presenting at least one product, the unit comprising:
- a supporting element having a cavity for receiving the at least one product, the cavity being delimited by a substantially flat bottom and a side wall which is substantially perpendicular to the substantially flat bottom, wherein said side wall has slots therein, and the at least one product is accommodated in at least one pan placed in the cavity;
- and
- an elastic holding means for ensuring a holding in position of the at least one pan in the cavity, permitting an extraction of the at least one pan from the cavity, and a setting in position of a new pan, said elastic holding means being flexible, shock resistant and deformable in all directions, said elastic holding means being situated partially within said side wall which delimits the cavity and being visible through said slots, said elastic holding means protruding through said slots so as to contact said at least one pan.
A unit for packaging and presenting at least one product, the unit comprising:
- a base member having a side wall and a bottom portion which defines a first cavity;
- a plate member having at least one second cavity for receiving the at least one product, said plate member being positioned in the first cavity of the base member;
- and
- an elastic holding means for ensuring a holding in position of the plate member in the first cavity, permitting an extraction of the plate member from the first cavity, and a setting in position of a new plate member, said elastic holding means being flexible, shock resistant and deformable in all directions, said elastic holding means being situated partially within said side wall of the base member and protruding through slots on the side wall of the base member so as to contact said plate member.
1 more element
A unit for packaging and presenting at least one product, the unit comprising:
- a supporting element having a cavity for receiving the at least one product, the cavity being delimited by a substantially flat bottom and a side wall which is substantially perpendicular to the substantially flat bottom;
- a pan for accommodating the at least one product, said pan being placed in the cavity;
- an elastic holding means for ensuring a holding in position of the pan in the cavity, permitting an extraction of the pan from the cavity, and a setting in position of a new pan, said elastic holding means being flexible, shock resistant and deformable in all directions, said elastic holding means being situated between at least one portion of the side wall which delimits the cavity and the pan;
- and
- a catch engagement bead protruding from the pan and accommodated between the elastic holding means and the substantially flat bottom.
2 more elements
A unit for packaging and presenting at least one product, the unit comprising:
- a supporting element having a cavity for receiving the at least one product, the cavity being delimited by a substantially flat bottom and a side wall which is substantially perpendicular to the substantially flat bottom;
- accommodating means for accommodating said at least one product, said accommodating means being located in the cavity;
- an elastic holding means for ensuring a holding in position of the accommodating means in the cavity, permitting an extraction of the accommodating means from the cavity, and a setting in position of a new accommodating means, said elastic holding means being flexible, shock resistant and deformable in all directions, said elastic holding means being situated between at least one portion of the side wall which delimits the cavity and the accommodating means, said elastic holding means defining an annular peripheral channel which includes a portion that extends above said accommodating means.
