SAUSAGE CONTAINER
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A container particularly designed for storage of sausage such
as frankfurters or the like. The container is particularly adapted for
simple and convenient storage and quick cooling or freezing of the sausage
within the container. The container is vapor-tight, thereby maintaining
the sausage in a useable condition for a longer period of time than is
possible with other types of storage materials used for sausage. The
container also permits removal of the sausage due to the provision of
easy finger access and separation between the plurality of sausages
stored therein.
The container comprises a first dish shaped part having a bottom
wall with integral upstanding peripheral side walls. A closure member
is placed on and tightly engages the upper edge of the dished part thereby
providing a container which is vapor-tight. The bottom wall of the dished
part has a plurality of upwardly extending projections, the preferred
configuration of the projections being upwardly extending pyramids. The
pyramids are spaced from each other equidistant and are arranged in
parallel rows which extend parallel to the side wails of the container.
The container has a greater length than width thereby permitting the
placement of shorter sausages crosswise of the container and longer
sausages lengthwise of the container. A sausage placed in the container
is supported by the side walls of the pyramidal projections and resides
in the trough between such projections. This arrangement for supporting
the sausage permits quick cooling or freezing of the sausage, avoids
interengagement between sausages so that they can be easily individ-
ually removed after freezing and maintains the sausage out of extensive
contact with the various walls of the container, thereby minimizing
sticking of the frozen sausage thereto.

Thus, in accordance with the present teachings, a
container is provided which is adapted to store sausages or
similarly shaped food products. The container comprises a
bottom wall, upstanding side walls emanating from the periphery
of the bottom wall, terminated in a top edge with a closure
member which is positionable in tight contact with the top
edge to form a closed container. The bottom wall has a
plurality of upwardly extending pyramidal projections which
terminate in apices which have an included angle of substantially
90°. The side walls of each projection is aligned one with
another and extends at an approximate angle of 45° relative
to the flat portion of the bottom wall which connects the base
of one projection to the base of an adjacent projection
thereby forming a generally planar-like supporting surface,
the projection further being proximately positioned one with
respect to the other 50 that the food product is supported
above the flat portion. The upstanding side walls incorporate
a sloping portion proximate the juncture thereof with the
bottom wall which portion incorporates sloping end walls and
wherein the side wall sloping portion and sloped end walls are
continuous between their terminal points which are in juxta-
position with the junctures of the side walls and are
substantially the same angle as the triangular sides of each
projection and which end walls lie in approximately the same
plane as one of the projection sides adjacent thereto and whose
angular relationship with the flat portion is the same as the
projection sides.
