Grocery transport packaging system

Abstract

A rigid container (6420) to be used in an air environment, the container comprising a bottom wall (6430); and a plurality of side walls (6440); wherein said rigid container has a rim (6445) providing an opening (6450); and a lid (6460) configured to cover said opening when the lid is placed over the rim so as to provide a closed state of the rigid container (6420); and wherein the lid co-operates with the rim (6445) such that the rigid container in its closed state seals, or substantially seals, an interior storage space (6465) from the environment so as to minimize or prevent entry of air from the environment into the interior storage space.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present application relates to a system for transporting goods.[0002]The present application also relates to a container for transporting goods, such as e.g. chilled or frozen goods.

A piece of grocery, or a food item, in a modern grocery store may be provided in a separate package, the size of a grocery package being adapted to contain an amount of food intended to be convenient for the customer. ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a lid and rim that work together to seal the contents of a container from the environment, minimizing air entering the container. Additionally, the text describes a closable opening that is sealed when the container is closed, preventing air from entering and potentially damaging the chilled or frozen goods. The technical effects of this design are improved preservation and protection of the goods during transportation and storage.

Problems solved by technology

Once the customer has purchased the collected food item packages, the customer faces the problem of transporting the collected grocery items from the grocery store.

Such a condensation process may actually cause a rapid warming of the frozen grocery.

Not only does this process cause thawing of initially frozen groceries and warming of initially frozen or chilled groceries, but it may also produce liquid water by condensation inside the carrier bag, which may jeopardize the integrity of the bag bottom or side wall, since it is made solely of paper, according to DE 89 04 678.

Thus, the strength of carrier bag made solely of paper may decrease, and the risk of breaking increases when the paper-only-carrier bag becomes wet.
