Patent number: 10407210Abstract: The FFS plastic container for a dairy product or similar food composition is provided with a body having a side wall extending along a longitudinal axis from a bottom to a top that defines a wide upper opening. The container, which is provided with a generally planar annular flange integral with the body and extending around the upper opening, has a decorative layer around the side wall. The upper portion of the side wall tapers toward the opening. Either a peripheral bulge is formed in the side wall at a junction between the upper portion and a lower portion, or the lower portion has a generally cylindrical shape. The decorative layer is defined by a plastic sleeve that includes a shrink film annularly secured to the upper portion, the sleeve extending adjacent or over the junction.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: COMPAGNIE GERVAIS DANONEInventor: Vincent Ferry

Patent number: 10322839Abstract: The flanged container for a dairy product or similar food composition is provided with a hollow body and a generally planar annular flange connected to the top of the body, the flange having outer straight side edges and an inner edge defining a circular upper opening of the container. The body has a planar bottom and a lower portion tapering from a generally cylindrical upper portion toward the bottom in a curved manner. The lower portion has a height h1 in some embodiments not less than 14 mm and the ratio h1/H is less than 2:5 where H is the height of the container. The side wall of the body has a thickness profile such that the average thickness of the lower portion is more than the average thickness of the upper portion. Several identical containers can be grouped in a pack with breakable junctions at the outer straight side edges.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Compagnie Gervais DanoneInventor: Vincent Ferry

Publication number: 20160251133Abstract: The items (2) having a round base are grouped together on a tray (4) to form a presentation assembly (1) that allows the items to be kept in a specific orientation in rows (R1, R2, R3, R4), even in the absence of locking projections or shapes in the cavities defined by recesses (3) in the tray. Each of the items (2) has, at the upper end of the recipient (5), a flange (5c) that supports a closing element (12). The flange has at least two blocking edges (14, 15, 16, 17) cut in a non-circular shape, and the distribution of the cavities allows two blocking edges (16?, 17) of two adjacent items to bear against each other, directly or indirectly, preventing items (2) from rotating individually relative to the tray (4).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2014Publication date: September 1, 2016Inventor: Vincent Ferry

Publication number: 20140004233Abstract: Disclosed is a flanged container for a food, in particular a dairy product composition. The container is provided with a hollow body and an annular flange that comprises an inner edge defining a circular upper opening of the container and outer straight side edges. The flange has at least two first flange portions, each defining one of said side edges, two of the side edges having a length I shorter than half of an inner diameter Dint of the opening. Two of the first flange portions are adjacent. At least two second flange portions are provided to each define a corner of the flange, the second flange portions each comprising an outer convex edge extending between two adjacent of said outer straight side edges. A pack comprising the containers is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2011Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: COMPAGNIE GERVAIS DANONEInventor: Vincent Ferry

Patent number: 6427420Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a pack, particularly intended for undergoing preservation treatment, from at least one film (10) comprising two plastic layers, an upper (11) and a lower (12), which form the outer and inner faces of said pack, and a light-metal central layer (13) sandwiched between said upper and lower layers. According to the invention, prior to the operations to make said pack, a laser beam is applied solely to the lower layer of said film, said lower layer forming the inner face of said pack, in order to produce, virtually in the entire thickness of said lower layer, at least one perforation (14) forming at least one precut line.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1999Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: UnisabiInventors: Alain Olivieri, Vincent Ferry, Daniel Blanchard, Jean-François Lefebvre
