Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to food serving devices, and more particularly, a disposable flexible food holder. Many people enjoy eating pizza, pie, sandwiches, cakes or other baked goods. However, these types of foods often make a mess as they are consumed. People may not order their favorite food because they fear that their outfit may become stained. Also, some foods may require additional boxes, plates or silverware. Some takeout boxes can be time consuming and tedious to put together, or require a large taped top for assembly. An effective solution is needed.
- The disposable flexible food holder provides a way for a person to eat various foods without touching the food with their hands. The present invention is a lightweight cardboard tray and designed to accommodate fast and hands-clean eating of pizza, pie, sandwiches, cake or a portion of any other food that can be placed on the food holder and consumed by biting. The lightweight cardboard tray will bend down by the use of tabs as the person consumes the food, allowing the hands of the person to stay clean. Any food establishment that wants to give customers a more convenient takeout container or any person who desires a less messy way to consume a variety of foods may appreciate this innovative product.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Numerous innovations for disposable food carriers have been provided in the prior art that will be described. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, however, they differ from the present invention.
- A FIRST EXAMPLE, U.S. Patent Office Document No. 4,635,843, issued on Jan. 13, 1897, to Tomlinson teaches a disposable utensil that is made from a cardboard blank and takes the form of a flat-bottomed hand scoop with forwardly sloped side walls, a back wall, and a pair of rear handles. The back wall is overlapped by a reinforcing wall which is in turn overlapped by a panel from which the handles extend and which is connected at the top to the back wall and at the bottom to the reinforcing wall.
- A SECOND EXAMPLE, U.S. Patent Office Document No. 5,098,013, issued on Mar. 24, 1992, to France et al. teaches a tray for transporting a single slice of pizza while facilitating use of the tray as a support so that the piece of pizza can be removed from and repositioned on the tray during eating thereof. The tray includes a generally triangular bottom wall and a pair of low-height side walls which extend along opposite identical side edges of the bottom wall. The other or base edge of the tray is open to facilitate movement of a piece of pizza either onto or off of the tray. The tray is formed from a flat blank constructed preferably of corrugated paperboard, with fold lines separating the low side walls from the bottom wall so that the side walls can be folded upwardly to be generally perpendicular to the bottom wall. One of the side walls has a latching tab integrally associated therewith and foldable so as to wrap around one end of the other side wall for insertion into an elongate slot which extends along the fold between the other side wall and the bottom wall to latch the tray in its assembled position.
- A THIRD EXAMPLE, U.S. Patent Office Document No. 5,129,521, issued on Jul. 14, 1992, to Irigoite et al. teaches a disposable pizza slice holder, of the kind used for supporting a slice of pizza for fast eating, is formed by an approximately triangular flat base body whose shorter side has a hinging flap section of trapezoidal shape provided with a lobbed section protruding from the central portion of its free edge. In an alternative embodiment, the rear flap section is provided with an extension wall which is hinged by means of parallel folding lines, to the base body and to the flap portion, so as to shape-up a rear lodging side, through the flipping of the upper flap toward the base body having a back vertical wall whose height is determined by the width of the extension wall, to back up and encase the enlarged rim of the supported pizza slice, and there are two lateral ear sections protruding from laterally hinged walls having a triangular shape, the ear sections having a profiled inner edge to allow the upper section to slide into two parallel receiving slots, provided along the lower extension wall of the hinged flap section.
- A FOURTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Patent Office Document No. 5,381,905, issued on Jan. 17, 1995, to Mallmamm et al. teaches a disposable support for pizza, made whether of a paper covered by a waterproof material or totally in plastic, having a base of a basically triangular or circular shape, characterized by comprising a rear edge delimited by a circular sector-shape rear edge, and a folding line, which is symmetrical to the rear edge.
- A FIFTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Patent Office Document No. 6,299,918, issued on Oct. 9, 2001, to Morgese teaches a pizza server along with its outer sleeve, providing a neater and more comfortable means of enjoying this fun food, as well as for it to stay warmer longer thanks to the outer sleeve that slips on and off very easily. The absorbent liner both in the sleeve and on the pizza server absorbs the excess grease. Thanks to the flap you can handle the slice of pizza without touching it, and thanks to the crease you can fold it so it won't flop. During consumption, the pizza server peels back from underneath the pizza, thanks to the crease which separates by use of a pull string or perforation and thin strips embedded in the plate which help keep the plate folded away. An alternative peel-away method uses cross-wise perforations about every two inches. This pizza-server will make a great advertising and promotion tool, by imprinting information on them and then handing them out to generate good-will.
- It is apparent now that numerous innovations for a disposable food containers have been provided in the prior art that are adequate for various purposes. Furthermore, even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, accordingly, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.
- AN OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a disposable flexible food holder that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
- ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a disposable flexible food holder that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and environmentally safe to dispose.
- STILL ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a disposable flexible food holder that is simple to use by consumers of all ages and dexterity.
- BRIEFLY STATED, STILL YET ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a disposable flexible food holder comprising a tray to support a food item thereon. The tray having a plurality of spaced apart pre-pressed bendable lines extending thereacross, forming a plurality of segments. A plurality of spaced apart tabs are located along opposite sides of the tray, whereby two tabs are at opposite sides of each segment of the tray, to position the food item on the tray. An upwardly extending rear wall is on the tray. A top flap is foldably connected to and extends forwardly from an upper edge of the rear wall that has a plurality of notches on the free-end to assist a person in securing the food item between the top flap and the tray. The person can selectively bend the segments along the pre-pressed bendable lines of the tray downward and away from the food item by pulling the tabs, allowing the person to eat the food item without getting grease and crumbs of the food item on hands and clothing of the person.
- The novel features which are considered characteristic of the present invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of the specific embodiments when read and understood in connection with the accompanying drawing.
