Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging for storing a doner kebab.

[0002] The doner kebab dish is widely known. It consists of a segment cut from a round loaf of bread, which, when opened, forms a kind of pocket containing various food components, depending on the customer's wishes, usually meat, salad, and sauce.

[0003] This means that the contents of the bread bag usually have a relatively high moisture content.

[0004] Delivery services are increasingly offering prepared meals. Customers also want to have doner kebabs delivered. A restaurant that receives an order prepares the doner kebab accordingly. The doner kebab is then typically wrapped in packaging material, such as aluminum foil and / or parchment paper, and, if necessary, still wrapped in a bag, is placed for delivery.

[0005] Delivery takes a certain amount of time depending on the distance to the customer. Furthermore, the doner kebab is repeatedly accelerated and / or subjected to vibrations during delivery. These processes can cause the bread to soften more than the customer wishes and / or food components to be accidentally displaced from the bread bag. Furthermore, the doner kebab may cool down unexpectedly.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a packaging for a doner kebab with which the aforementioned disadvantages can be avoided.

[0007] This object is achieved by the packaging for storing a doner kebab according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the packaging are specified in subclaims 2-7.

[0008] The packaging according to the invention for storing a doner kebab comprises a lower part forming a flat base surface for receiving the doner kebab, as well as a lid for closing the lower part, wherein the base surface is delimited by two sides running at right angles to each other and by a non-linear side connecting the right-angled sides.

[0009] The non-linear side is formed by several linear side edges running at an angle to each other, wherein the linear side edges extend along tangents to an imaginary circle running through opposite endpoints of the sides running at right angles to each other.

[0010] The lower part has a boundary wall extending perpendicularly from the base area on each of the sides and side edges, wherein the boundary walls arranged on the sides are mechanically connected to one another.

[0011] On the side boundary walls arranged on the sides running at right angles to each other at their mutually facing end regions, as well as on the longer boundary wall arranged on the longer linear side edge at its two end regions, an overlapping section running at an angle to the respective boundary wall is arranged, wherein the overlapping sections run in alignment with the respective shorter linear side edge located therebetween and overlap one another in regions.

[0012] With sufficient rigidity, the packaging ensures that a doner kebab cannot be crushed. Furthermore, the shape of the doner kebab, which is shaped like a circle, ensures that no food contents can fall out of the bread bag.

[0013] The overall flat shape of the packaging ensures that it can be safely placed with the doner kebab inside and does not tip over.

[0014] There may be three linear side edges extending along tangents at an angle to each other between the end points, wherein the three linear side edges comprise two shorter linear side edges adjoining the end points and a longer linear side edge arranged between the two shorter linear side edges.

[0015] The two shorter linear side edges run on tangents at the vertices to a circle passing through the vertices, the center of which is the intersection point of the two sides that are perpendicular to each other.

[0016] The longer linear side edge is tangent to a point lying on the bisector of an angle enclosed by the two sides that are perpendicular to each other.

[0017] Furthermore, a shorter overlay section can be arranged on at least one shorter boundary wall connected to a shorter linear side edge, which is bent by 180° with respect to this shorter boundary wall, so that the overlap of the overlap sections is covered on both sides by the shorter boundary wall connected to the respective shorter linear side edge and the shorter overlay section there.

[0018] Such a bend can be realized, for example, by a fold.

[0019] In addition, a side overlay section can be arranged on at least one side boundary wall connected to one of the sides extending at right angles to each other, which side overlay section is bent by 180° with respect to this side boundary wall.

[0020] A shorter boundary wall is shorter than a side boundary wall, and a shorter overlap section is shorter than a side overlap section. This allows one of the shorter overlap sections to be held in the 180° bent position by positive and / or frictional engagement.

[0021] The lid can form a flat lid surface which has the same geometric shape as the base surface of the lower part and runs parallel to the base surface when the lid is closed.

[0022] The lid can also be delimited by two sides running at right angles to each other and by a non-linear side connecting the right-angled sides, wherein the non-linear side is formed by a plurality of linear side edges running at an angle to each other, and wherein the linear side edges extend along tangents to an imaginary circle running through opposite end points of the sides running at right angles to each other.

[0023] The lid may also have three linear side edges extending along tangents at an angle to each other between the end points, wherein the three linear side edges comprise two shorter linear side edges adjoining the end points and a longer linear side edge arranged between the two shorter linear side edges.

[0024] As with the base, the two shorter linear side edges of the lid can run on tangents at the corners to a circle passing through the corners, the center of which is the intersection of the two perpendicular sides. The longer linear side edge runs on a tangent at a point that lies on the bisector of an angle enclosed by the two perpendicular sides.

[0025] The matching of the basic geometric shapes of the base and the lid as well as the parallelism of the base and lid surfaces ensure that the packaging can be easily and stably stacked on top of each other.

[0026] The lid can be connected to the lower part so that it can rotate around a pivot axis.

[0027] An area of ​​the packaging forming the pivot axis can be an integral part of the lid and / or the base, so that the articulation is ensured by the bendability of the material in the transition between the lid and the base.

[0028] The pivot axis can be formed on the longer boundary wall arranged on the longer linear side edge.

[0029] In addition, the lid can have a lid boundary wall on each of its sides, which run at right angles to each other and which adjoin each other at the common corner point.

[0030] A mechanical connection between the two lid boundary walls can be realized by a tab on one of the lid boundary walls, which overlaps the other lid boundary wall, whereby a fixed connection is realized in the overlapping area, such as by gluing or clamping.

[0031] The material of the base and / or lid can be cardboard, plastic, or recyclable. This material may have lower thermal conductivity than aluminum foil, ensuring that the doner kebab can be kept warm for a longer period of time, even if cold drinks are transported in close proximity to the packaged doner kebab in the same delivery.

[0032] Furthermore, the packaging can have at least one closure device with which the lid can be fixed to the lower part in a closed position.

[0033] In addition, ventilation devices such as slots or holes can be provided in the base and / or lid to ensure the escape of moist air and thus prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

[0034] The present invention is explained below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] It shows Fig. 1: a lower part of the packaging in top view, Fig. 2: the closed packaging in perspective view, Fig. 3: the inside of the lid of the packaging in perspective view, Fig. 4: the lower part of the packaging in perspective view during the folding process, and Fig. 5: The lower part of the packaging in perspective view after the folding process.

[0036] Fig. 1 shows that the lower part 10 of the packaging has a substantially flat base surface 11 which is delimited by a first rectangular side 20 and a second rectangular side 30. A first side boundary wall 22 adjoins the first rectangular side 20 in the vertical direction shown here, and a second side boundary wall 32 adjoins the second rectangular side 30 in the vertical direction shown here.

[0037] In the end regions of the two perpendicular sides 20, 30 facing away from each other at the corner points 21, 31 there, the two perpendicular sides 20, 30 are connected to each other by a non-linear side 50.

[0038] This non-linear side 50 comprises a first shorter linear side edge 51 connected to the first end point 21, and a second shorter linear side edge 53 connected to the second end point 31. A longer linear side edge 60 is formed between the two shorter linear side edges 51, 53.

[0039] The first, shorter linear side edge 51 is vertically adjoined by a first, shorter boundary wall 52. The second, shorter linear side edge 53 is vertically adjoined by a second, shorter boundary wall 54. The longer linear side edge 60 is vertically adjoined by a longer boundary wall 61.

[0040] The first shorter linear side edge 51 and the first shorter boundary wall 52 arranged thereon run along a first tangent 81.

[0041] The second shorter linear side edge 53 and the second shorter boundary wall 54 arranged thereon run along a second tangent 82.

[0042] The longer linear side edge 60 and the longer boundary wall 61 arranged thereon run along a third tangent 83.

[0043] The first tangent 81 runs through the first end point on the first perpendicular side 20 on an imaginary circle 70, the center 71 of which is the intersection point of the first perpendicular side 20 and the second perpendicular side 30.

[0044] The second tangent 82 passes through the second endpoint 31 on the second perpendicular side 30 on the imaginary circle 70.

[0045] The third tangent 83 runs at an intersection point of the imaginary circle 70 with an angle bisector 72, which bisects the angle spanned by the two perpendicular sides 20,30.

[0046] Fig. Figure 2 shows the packaging in the closed state, whereby the lid 100 can be clearly seen here, with its also essentially flat lid surface 101.

[0047] The cover 100 is pivotally connected to the lower part 10 at a pivot axis 120 which is formed on the longer linear side edge 60.

[0048] Fig. Figure 3 shows the lid 100 as a single part, thus detached from the lower part (not shown here). The flat lid surface 101 is clearly visible. Furthermore, it is evident that the geometric shape of the flat lid surface 101 essentially corresponds to that of the base area of ​​the lower part.

[0049] The lid has, on its side edges extending at right angles to one another, a first lid boundary wall 110 and a second lid boundary wall 111 which extend perpendicularly with respect to the flat lid surface 101.

[0050] The Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show special designs of the lower part 10. Fig. 4 shows that an overlap section 40 is arranged at right angles to the first side boundary wall 22. This overlap section 40 partially overlaps with an overlap section on the longer boundary wall 62.

[0051] Fig. Figure 4 shows a state in which the lower part 10 is not yet completely folded, so that the first, shorter boundary wall 52 is not yet vertically aligned with respect to the lid surface 11. It can be seen that a shorter overlay section 55 adjoins the first, shorter boundary wall 52.

[0052] Fig. Figure 5 shows the lower part 10 in the fully folded state. Here, the first, shorter boundary wall 52 now extends perpendicularly to the lid surface 11 (not visible). The shorter overlay section 55 has been bent 180° relative to the first, shorter boundary wall 52, so that it now extends perpendicularly toward the lid surface 11.

[0053] This creates the two overlapping sections 40,62, see Fig. 4, covered and held in position.

[0054] The embodiment with the overlapping section 49,62 and the shorter overlay section 55 can also be implemented on the second shorter linear side edge 53.

[0055] In the embodiment shown here, a side overlay section 41 is also arranged on the second perpendicular side 30 and on its second boundary wall 32, which is pivoted or folded by 180° with respect to the second side boundary wall 32 and thus extends toward the base surface 11. Such a side overlay section can also be formed on the first perpendicular side or on the first side boundary wall 22 arranged there.

[0056] A respective side overlay section ensures that shorter overlay sections on shorter linear side edges 51, 53 cannot be inadvertently swung open, or conversely, shorter overlay sections on shorter linear side edges 51, 53 ensure that a side overlay section 41 cannot be inadvertently swung open.
