DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present specification refers to a modular device in container-trays for preserving food, the purpose of which is to solve the scattered storage that, container by container, is carried out by users for preserving sausages or left-overs of food, since this invention is a modular and unitary assembly formed by several transparent and hermetic containers placed on trays which are capable of being tilted, solving the existing problem experienced by users to know the contents of same, which, in the case of this invention, can be perfectly preserved for a long time, making clearly easy to store and arrange sausages and other foodstuffs, and allowing them to be chosen in a direct and simplified way.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention applies to the field of the industry devoted to the manufacture of accessories for household equipment.
2. Related Art
The applicant knows nothing about the existence of any container assembly having these characteristics with this new application and utility, since what is known until now refers always to unitary and independent containers, which are not capable of solving the problem solved by this invention, and having no possibility of attaining this new application and utility, allowing also other sizes and tray to be used, according to a user's wishes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The modular device in container trays for preserving food, as proposed by the invention constitutes per sea clear novelty in the field to which it is incorporated.
In a more definite way, the modular device in container trays for preserving food of this invention is constituted starting from a tray, on which an indeterminate number of containers are incorporated, each of these containers being provided with a hermetic cover, allowing consequently the food contained in it to be conveniently preserved.
One of the sides of the tray carrying the containers is fitted with an extension of same, in an appropriate size, this extension being ended with a projection having a circular configuration, so allowing the tray to be inserted into a holding support constituted as a female element.
The female element, acting as a supporting area, is bonded or fixed to other elements having similar characteristics, by means of a flexible system, in order to allow it to be properly folded, and later to receive different container trays by using the above-mentioned support.
This arrangement allows different types of food, mainly pork products in general, to be placed within container trays, so that a user can select the food he/she prefers to eat in a more simple and easy way, due to the fact that the hermetic cover of the container is made of a transparent material through which the contained product can be easily seen.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
In order to complement this description and aid to a better understanding of the features of the invention, the accompanying drawings which are a part of this specification, show in an illustrative but non limitative sense, the following:
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the object of the invention related to a modular device in container trays for preserving food.
FIG. 2 shows a side elevational view of a container tray incorporated into the assembly, this figure showing also a side view of a coupling element between two trays.
FIG. 3 shows a side elevation view of the object illustrated in FIG. 1, and showing also one of trays displaced.
FIG. 4 shows again a view similar to that illustrated in FIG. 3 of the object shown in FIG. 1, with a tray tilted and a tray pivoting.
FIG. 5 shows a front elevational view of the container tray represented in FIG. 2, in a unitary way, with its hermetic and--transparent cover.
FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of the object illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5, with its cover opened.
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the object shown in FIGS. 2, 5 and 6.
FIG. 8 is a side elevational view of the object shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 9 is a plan view of the container trays bonded to a rib perimetrically surrounding same in ord
