Packaging system

Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging system for foodstuffs, having a container extending from a container base via a container casing, which itself extends around a container axis and preferably widens approximately in the manner of a truncated cone-shape, in the direction towards an upper container edge which extends around a container opening, and having a chamber containing the foodstuff, wherein the chamber has a chamber casing extending from the upper container edge in the direction towards the container base, disposed within the container casing and at least over apart of the axial chamber height at a radial distance from the container casing and extending around the container axis, and has a chamber base preferably disposed at an axial distance above the container base.

1 . Packaging system for edibles having a container ( 10 ), which extends, starting at a container bottom ( 12 ), via a container jacket ( 14 ) encircling a container axis and preferably widening, approximately in the form of a truncated cone sheath, in the direction of an upper container rim ( 30 ) encircling a container opening ( 40 ), and a chamber ( 50 ) containing the edible, characterized in that the chamber ( 50 ) has, starting at the upper container rim ( 30 ), extending in the direction of container bottom ( 12 ), within the container jacket ( 14 ) and at least over part of the axial chamber height, arranged at a radial distance from the container jacket ( 14 ) and encircling the container axis, a chamber jacket ( 54 ) and, preferably arranged at an axial distance above the container bottom ( 12 ), a chamber bottom ( 52 ). 
     
     
         2 . Packaging system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the radial distance and/or the axial distance, at least in portions, is at least 5 mm or more, especially 10 mm or more. 
     
     
         3 . Packaging system according to  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that, starting at an upper support section ( 56 ) of the chamber encircling a chamber opening ( 40 ), in which the chamber ( 50 ) is supported by an upper support section ( 16 ) of the container ( 10 ) encircling the container opening ( 40 ), the radial distance increases in the direction of chamber bottom ( 52 ). 
     
     
         4 . Packaging system according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the upper support section ( 16 ) of the container ( 10 ), has, starting at the container jacket ( 14 ), extending radially outward and preferably running approximately perpendicular to the container axis at least in portions, a set-down area ( 18 ) that merges into a holding area ( 20 ) preferably tapered in the form of a truncated cone sheath extending in the direction of the upper container rim, the upper support section ( 56 ) of the chamber ( 50 ) being embodied approximately complementary to the upper support section ( 16 ) of the container ( 10 ) and being snappable into it. 
     
     
         5 . Packaging system according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the axial height of the holding area ( 16 ,  56 ) is between 3 mm and 15 mm, preferably between 4 mm and 10 mm. 
     
     
         6 . Packaging system according to  claim 4  or  5 , characterized in that, in an axial intersecting plane, the holding area ( 20 ,  60 ) and the container axis enclose a holding angle 2° to 20°, preferably 3° to 7°. 
     
     
         7 . Packaging system according one of the  claims 6  and  7 , characterized in that the ratio between holding angle and holding height is in the range of 0.3° to 0.9° per millimeter, preferably 0.5° to 0.75° per millimeter. 
     
     
         8 . Packaging system according to one of the  claims 4  to  7 , characterized in that the upper holding area ( 20 ,  60 ) of the container ( 10 ) and/or the chamber ( 50 ) merges into a flange area ( 22 ,  62 ) extending radially outward and approximately in a plane running perpendicular to the container plane, the flange area ( 62 ) of the chamber ( 50 ) preferably being supported by the upper periphery of the flange area ( 22 ) of the container ( 10 ). 
     
     
         9 . Packaging system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by a lid device designed for covering the chamber opening ( 4 )) and preferably sealable onto the flange area ( 62 ) of the chamber ( 50 ). 
     
     
         10 . Packaging system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the container ( 10 ) and/or the chamber ( 50 ) is designed as a plastic cup. 
     
     
         11 . Packaging system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least the container jacket ( 14 ) and/or the chamber jacket ( 54 ) is at least partially made of a transparent material. 
     
     
         12 . Packaging system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by a removal opening formed in the container jacket and/or the container bottom for removing contents accommodated in the cavity formed between container and chamber. 
     
     
         13 . Packaging system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the container ( 10 ) and the chamber ( 50 ) are interconnected by form-fitting.
