A portion package for foodstuff such as butter

Abstract

The invention relates to an individual portion package containing butter, soft cheese or other foodstuff intended for spreading on a piece of bread or the like. The package includes a closed container ( 1 ) and spreading device ( 2 ). The spreading device ( 2 ) is integrated with the container ( 1 ) and projecting out from the container ( 1 ). The container is formed by a first wall ( 6 ) and a second wall ( 3 ) connected to each other. The first wall ( 6 ) has a first extension forming the spreading device ( 2 ). The second wall ( 3 ) has a gripping device ( 4 ) at the end of the container ( 1 ) adjacent the spreading device ( 2 ). The gripping device ( 4 ) is arranged for opening the container ( 1 ) at this end for providing a dispensing opening ( 5 ) allowing the content of the container to be squeezed out onto a supply side ( 2 a ) of the spreading device ( 2 ). The supply side ( 2 a ) is on the same side of the first wall ( 6 ) as the container ( 1 ). The gripping device ( 4 ) forms a second extension of the container( 1 ) in the direction of the spreading device ( 2 ). The second extension completely covers the supply side ( 2 a ) of the spreading device ( 2 ).

         3 . Package according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one edge is an end edge of the spreading device. 
     
     
         4 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the spreading device has a kerf line and being sufficient weak to be broken along the kerf line by hand. 
     
     
         5 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the first wall and the second wall are connected to each other along a connection line, which connection line completely is located in one planar plane. 
     
     
         6 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the first wall completely is in one planar plane. 
     
     
         7 . Package according to  claim 6 , wherein the spreading device extends from the first wall in the direction of the plane of the first wall. 
     
     
         8 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the spreading device is planar. 
     
     
         9 . Package according to  claim 8 , wherein the first wall and the spreading device are co-planar. 
     
     
         10 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the first wall and the spreading device are made in one single piece and of the same material. 
     
     
         11 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the first wall includes a layer of paper board. 
     
     
         12 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the second wall is deformable by a squeezing force applied by a user's finger thereon. 
     
     
         13 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the second wall is of another material than the first wall. 
     
     
         14 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the second wall is a laminate. 
     
     
         15 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the gripping device is an extension of the second wall. 
     
     
         16 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the gripping device is arranged to allow disconnection of the connection between the first wall and the second wall in the region most close to the spreading device. 
     
     
         17 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the gripping device is arranged to be maintained attached to the second wall after the container has been opened. 
     
     
         18 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the container has a width that is 2 to 10 times the height of the container, preferably 3 to 5 times, whereby the height is the maximum distance between the first wall and the second wall. 
     
     
         19 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the container has a length that is 2 to 10 times the width of the container, preferably 3 to 5 times. 
     
     
         20 . Package according to  claim 1 , wherein the container has a length that is 1 to 4 times the length of the spreading device, preferably 1.5 to 2.5 times.
