Description

[0001] PERFORATED SEMI-CUT FLAP CORNET PACKAGING

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The invention relates to a comet packaging used tor packaging cone-shaped cornet-type ice creams.

[0004] In particular, the invention relates to a cornet packaging ensuring easy and clean opening by preventing paper fibers, which result from adhesion on the lower surface of the opening flap pulled during consumption, from spreading along the entire inner surface of the packaging, by means of a semi-cut line formed between the perforated cuts arranged on the upper and lower parts of the opening flap.

[0005] State of the Art

[0006] In cornet-type ice creams, which are widely consumed among ice cream varieties, cornet cones frozen with ice cream are placed in cone-shaped packagings and offered for sale.

[0007] In the present art, cornet packagings produced by being wrapped in a cone-shape traditionally have an opening flap and tear lines on the lower and upper sides of the opening flap. The aforementioned opening flap allows the packaging to be grasped by holding it by its edge. T ear lines ensure that the packaging tears along the predetermined tear line and opens smoothly when pulled from the opening flap. In order to fix the edges of the packaging wrapped in a cone-shape, glue is applied in single or double rows of strips along the line length over the inner edge line of the package, and the inner edge line is adhered to the inner surface of the outer edge line by means of glue. However, in this adhering process, since the inner surface of the opening flap is also exposed to adhesion wifh glue in single or double rows of strips, when the opening flap is pulled during consumption, it separates into paper fibers on the lower surface of the opening flap adhered to the outer surface of the packaging. As the opening flap continues to be pulled to open the packaging, the separated fibers of the paper elongate and these elongated paper fibers continue along the inner surface of the packaging body. Therefore, due to the paper fibers formed on the inner surface of the opening flap, the packaging may tear apart or, in other words, delaminate during opening. For this reason, the elongated and tom, i.e., delaminated, paper fibers need to be removed by the user, preventing the packaging from being opened in an orderly and easy manner. In the state of the art, there is a need to eliminate the packaging problems experienced in the consumption of comet type ice creams.

[0008] In the literature review, the document numbered TR2023 / 011996, which was filed by us, can be cited as an example of the state of the art. Said document relates to easy-open perforated cornet packaging. Said invention provides a cornet packaging which prevents the perforated cuts arranged on the upper and lower sides of the opening flap from being opened and damaged during production, and also ensures easy and uniform opening of the perforated cuts by directing the pulling force to the perforated cuts when held by the opening flap during consumption. For this purpose, a perforation cutting head in the form of a triangle is formed in the cornet packaging, starting from the upper and lower sides of the opening flap and combining with the upper perforated cut and the lower perforated cut. Thanks to said perforation cutting head, the upper perforated cut and the lower perforated cut are prevented from opening when the opening flap is grabbed during ice cream production, and the pulling force applied to the opening flap during the consumption of the ice cream is directed according to the geometric progression of the upper perforated cut and lower perforated cut, ensuring the alignment of the upper perforated cut and lower perforated cut. During the opening of the opening flap by pulling by the user for consumption, there is a separation of the packaging paper into fibers on the lower surface of the opening flap that adheres to the flap adhering area. However, by continuing to pull the opening flap, these paper fibers continue to elongate along the inner surface of the packaging body. Because there is no structure in the opening flap to prevent the paper fibers from elongating. Therefore, the packaging cannot be opened evenly during the pulling of the opening flap. In order to eliminate this situation, it is necessary to improve the present invention.

[0009] As a result, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the existing solutions have made a development in the relevant technical field necessary.

[0010] Object of the Invention The present invention relates to a perforated semi-cut flap cornet packaging that eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages and brings new advantages to the relevant technical field.

[0011] The main object of the invention is to provide a cornet packaging ensuring easy and clean opening by preventing paper fibers, which result from adhesion on the lower surface of the opening flap pulled during consumption, from spreading along the entire inner surface of the packaging, by means of a semi-cut line formed between the perforated cuts arranged on the upper and lower parts of the opening flap.

[0012] The object of the invention is to provide a cornet packaging that prevents the paper fibers formed on the inner surface of the opening flap from extending along the inner surface of the packaging, thereby avoiding delamination and tearing, and eliminating opening issues during the consumption of the cornet ice cream.

[0013] In order to achieve all the objects that may arise from the above-mentioned and detailed description, the invention is a cornet packaging used for packaging cone-shaped cornettype ice creams and comprising an opening flap located on a side edge, an upper perforated cut extending in an inclined manner from the upper side of the opening flap to the upper edge, and a lower perforated cut extending in an inclined manner from the lower side of the opening flap to the other side edge,

[0014] - and relates to comprising at least one semi-cut line located between the upper perforated cut and the lower perforated cut, which limits the paper fibers formed on the lower surface of the opening flap that adheres to the flap adhering areas when the opening flap is pulled by the user, and on the flap adhering areas, preventing the paper fibers from extending toward the inner surface of the cornet packaging.

[0030] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0031] In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives of the cornet packaging (100) of the invention are described only for a better understanding of the subject and without any limiting effect.

[0032] Figure 1 shows the view of the cornet packaging (100) of the invention in open state. Accordingly, cornet packaging (100) in its most basic form comprises; the opening flap (30) located on a side edge (20) of the cornet packaging (100), the upper perforated cut (40) extending in an inclined manner from the upper side of the opening flap (30) to the upper edge (10) of the cornet packaging (100), the lower perforated cut (50) extending in an inclined manner from the lower side of the opening flap (30) to the side edge (20) of the cornet package (100), the triangular perforation cutting head (60) starting from the upper and lower sides of the opening flap (30) and joining the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50), the flap adhering area (80) located above the adhering area (70) arranged on the side edge (20) of the cornet packaging (100) and forming an adhering surface in a spaced apart manner under the opening flap (30) when the cornet packaging (100) is wrapped conically, and the semi-cut line (90) located between the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50) on the opening flap (30).

[0033] An opening flap (30) is located on a side edge (20) of the cornet packaging (100) of the invention. When the cornet packaging (100) is wrapped conically, the side edges (20) overlap and the opening flap (30) allows the cornet packaging (100) to be gripped by holding it.

[0034] The upper perforated cut (40) extends in an inclined manner from the upper side of the opening flap (30) to the upper edge (10) of the cornet packaging (100), and the lower perforated cut (50) extends in an inclined manner from the lower side of the opening flap (30) to the side edge (20) of the cornet packaging (100). Said upper perforated cut (40) and lower perforated cut (50) provide a large-area and controlled tearing of the cornet packaging (100) when a pulling force is applied to the opening flap (30).

[0035] In order to prevent the unintentional opening of the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50) while the robot holds the opening flap (30) to ensure that the ice cream cone is placed in the cornet packaging (100) during ice cream production, and also to direct the pulling force applied when the cornet ice cream is held by the opening flap (30) during consumption according to the geometric progression of the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50), a perforation cutting head (60) is formed at the upper and lower side of the opening flap (30). The triangular perforation cutting head (60) starts from the upper and lower sides of the opening flap (30) and joins the upper perforated cut (40) and lower perforated cut (50).

[0036] The perforation cutting head (60) prevents the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50) from being damaged by being opened by the robot holding the opening flap (30) during production, and also ensures that the pulling force applied to the opening flap (30) during the consumption of the ice cream is directed according to the geometrical progression of the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50), so that the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50) are captured and, accordingly, the cornet packaging (100) is opened properly. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the cornet packaging (100) can also be manufactured without the perforation cutting head (60).

[0037] An adhering area (100) is formed on the side edge (20) of the cornet packaging (70). The adhering area (70) ensures that when the cornet packaging (100) is wrapped conically, the side edges (20) adhere together when they overlap. On said adhering area (70), the flap adhering area (80) is arranged spaced apart at a certain distance from each other. The flap adhering area (80) forms a partial adhering area under the opening flap (30) when the cornet packaging (100) is wrapped conically and prevents the opening flap (30) from showing high resistance with the adhering effect against the applied pulling force. Thus, when the opening flap (30) is pulled, it is opened without ripping and the applied pulling force is directed from the perforation cutting head (60) to the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50).

[0038] With the cornet packaging (100) being wrapped in a conical shape, the partial adhering area formed by the flap adhering area (80) on the lower surface of the opening flap (30) forms paper fibers (L) on the lower surface of the opening flap (30) when the opening flap (30) is opened during the consumption of ice cream. This is because the lower surface of the opening flap (30) is adhered to the flap adhering areas (80) before the opening flap (30) is pulled. Thus, when the opening flap (30) is pulled by the user, the lower surface of the opening flap (30) adhered to the flap adhering areas (80) separates from the flap adhering areas (80), causing paper fibers (L) to form on the lower surface of the opening flap (30) adhered to the flap adhering areas (80) and on the flap adhering areas (80) themselves, as seen in Figure 2.

[0039] With the continuous pulling of the opening flap (30), the paper fibers (L) formed on the flap adhering areas (80) and on the lower surface of the opening flap (30) start from the flap adhering areas (80) and extend from the opening flap (30) along the inner surface of the cornet packaging (100). Therefore, the flap adhering areas (80) and the opening flap (30) are not completely separated from each other. In order to prevent this situation, at least one semi-cut line (90) has been formed on the opening flap (30) between the upper perforated cut (40) and the lower perforated cut (50).

[0040] The semi-cut line (90) is a thin cut of micron size, forming a restriction for the paper fibers (L) when the opening flap (30) is pulled. In this way, by means of the semi-cut line (90) provided in the invention, the paper fibers (L) formed on the lower surface of the opening flap (30) adhered to the flap adhering areas (80) and on the flap adhering areas (80) by pulling the opening flap (30) by the user are limited and prevented from extending towards the inner surface of the cornet packaging (100).

[0041] Thanks to the semi-cut line (90) consisting of micron-sized thin cuts, even if a strong pull is applied to the opening flap (30), the opening flap (30) will not break.
