Abstract: A method for manufacturing straws includes the steps of predisposing a web or a discrete sheet of sheet material, wherein the web or discrete sheet extends between an end portion and tail portion; predisposing a winding body extending along an axis; completely winding the web or discrete sheet around the winding body for defining a cylindrical body of sheet material wherein the end portion and tail portion face each other for defining a mutual overlapping portion; and constraining the end portion to the tail portion in the mutual overlapping portion in order to define a straw extending between a first and second substantially circular free edges, wherein the mutual overlapping portion extends between the first and second free edges of the straw along a rectilinear direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for realizing a re-closable container made of extensible paper, which comprises at least partly inserting a closing element (5) made of paper material (extensible paper) provided with a base wall (6) and a lateral wall (7), internally of a housing compartment (4) of the container. The lateral wall (7) of the closing element (5) is inserted and located at a portion of lateral wall of the container (1). A sealing layer (204) is coupled to the container in a position underlying the closing element (5). Also comprised is a contemporary deforming step of the lateral wall (7), the sealing layer (204) and the portion of wall of the container (1), such as to realize coupling/decoupling surfaces between the closing element (5) and the container (1).

Abstract: A process for realizing a container from a foldable sheet comprises stages of at least partially inserting a closure element made of paper material (extensible paper) provided with a base wall and a lateral wall internally of a housing chamber of the container. The lateral wall of the closure element is inserted and located at a portion of the wall of the container. Also comprised is a stage of contemporary deformation of the lateral wall of the closure element and the portion of wall of the container in order to realize corresponding grooves on the parts, destined to define coupling and decoupling surfaces by rotation between the closure element and the container. The use of extensible paper advantageously enables easy realization of the coupling grooves by rotation.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing containers of paper material for foodstuffs, in particular pastries, wherein the container comprises a single sheet portion of flexible paper material defining a flat bottom wall and a side wall emerging from the bottom wall. The container has a side wall comprising, in section, at least one curvilinear stretch (10) for defining a rounded or convex conformation of the side wall. The method contemplates a first step for making the bottom wall (2) provided with an upper surface (2a) and a lower surface (2b), and a side wall (3) emerging from the bottom wall (2) in such a manner that in cooperation with said bottom wall it defines a holding region (21) whose bottom consists of said lower surface (2b), and a second step of overturning the side wall on the opposite side relative to the bottom wall (2) for defining a cavity (7) having an upwards facing opening in the normal use position of the container.

Abstract: A capsule has been realised for preparing beverages, in particular coffee, in which a filter container exhibits a base and a lateral wall that define a housing cavity for the foodstuff substance (15). A tubular support (2) is defined between an upper opening (17) and a lower opening (18), and houses the filter container internally thereof. A predetermined quantity of the substance (15) is housed internally of the housing compartment (16) and the housing compartment (16) is hermetically closed by a closing film.

Abstract: A process for realising a container from a foldable sheet comprises stages of at least partially insering a closure element (5) made of paper material (extensible paper) provided with a base wall (6) and a lateral wall (7) internally of a housing chamber (4) of the container. The lateral wall (7) of the closure element (5) is inserted and located at a portion (3a) of the wall (3) of the container (1). Also comprised is a stage of contemporary deformation of the lateral wall (7) of the closure element (5) and the portion (3a) of wall of the container (1) in order to realise corresponding grooves (9, 10) on the parts, destined to define coupling and decoupling surfaces by rotation between the closure element (5) and the container (1). The use of extensible paper advantageously enables easy realisation of the coupling grooves by rotation.

Abstract: A method has been conceived for the manufacture of containers in paper material for foodstuffs such as drinks, in particular hot drinks, comprising a bottom wall (2) and a lateral wall (3) arising from the bottom wall (2) and forming in cooperation with the latter a cavity (4) for containing the product; means (5) are also provided to allow the hand of a user to be thermally insulated with respect to the product contained in the cavity (4). The method comprises a step of turning the lateral wall (3) back outwards and downwards so that the material constituting the upper portion of the lateral wall of the preliminary container comes step by step to constitute the external strip (6).

Abstract: A baking-tin to cook and distribute cakes and food-stuffs in general comprises a laminar support (2) made of paper material provided with a plurality of through holes (3) each of them housing a small pleated-paper cup (4). The support (2) is provided with a number of fracture lines (5) defining a plurality of support portions (6) thereon each circumscribed to at least a small cup 4), as well as a series of shaped holes (7) which are cut each at the crossing of two fracture lines (5). On the outer edges of the baking-tin (1) where the edge itself intersects the fracture lines, provision is made for a plurality of engagement seats (8) enabling the baking-tin to be engaged by grasping elements carried by the automated transport means.
