- A first illustrative example of an embodiment of a
container 10 in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure is depicted inFIGS. 1 through 8 . Container includes abody portion 100, that may be generally formed as a cup for receiving food for food service. In the depicted embodiment, thecontainer 10 may have afront side 1000 and anopposite back side 1002 that are joined together by a bottom panel and by side panels. In the depicted embodiment, the side panels may include a midline fold or crease and may not be joined to the bottom panel to allow for the container to flex. It will be appreciated that the depicted embodiment is sized and configured to hold cookies, but that the size, and shape of the container, including the number of panels may vary for use with differing food service items. A closure feature, such as closure recess 1003 may be disposed on thefront side 1000. - An elongated tab generally indicated at 200 may extend upwards from the
body 100. In the depicted embodiment, theelongated tab 200 may extend upwards from theback side panel 1002. Theelongated tab 200 may include a middle orhinge portion 2002 and a distal orconnection portion 2004. Folding orcrease lines middle portion 2002 from theback panel 1002 andconnection portion 2004 from themiddle portion 2002. - The
connection portion 2004 extends to adistal end 2006. A straw mounting recess 2008 passes through the tab near the distal end. As depicted, the straw mounting recess is sized and configured to be placed over a drinking straw, as by having a similar round shape with a slightly larger diameter than the drinking straw with which it is intended to be used. Thestraw mounting recess 2008 is spaced away from thedistal end 2006 into the body of thetab 200 to provide sufficient strength for mounting use. Theelongated tab 200 may be sized and configured to allow thecontainer body 100 to dangle alongside a beverage container when the container is placed over a straw in the beverage container lid - As depicted in
FIG. 1 , in use in a first conformation, theconnection portion 2004 of theelongated tab 200 may paced over a straw S that is inserted into the straw opening of a lid L on a beverage container C, such as a food service disposal cup. As shown, theelongated tab 200 may be sized and configured to allow thebody 100 to dangle alongside the beverage container C when thecontainer 10 is used in this fashion. As depicted, connection portion may extend at an angle to an edge of the lid L withfold 2005 adjacent to the lid L edge, with themiddle portion 2002 extending downwards to thecontainer fold 2003, which allows thecontainer body 100 to reside at a suitable angle for use, which may vary based on the particular food item. - As depicted on
FIG. 8 , in a second conformation, the elongated tab may function as a closure for retaining food in the container.Tab 200 has been drawn forward, bending atfold middle portion 2002 over thecontainer body 100 anddistal end 2006 inserted into the closure recess 1003. Where a food item, such as a cookie is placed in thecontainer 10, the elongated tab serves a closure that can retain the item in thecontainer 10, while remaining visible through open side spaces generally indicated at 800. Theelongated tab 200 may be inserted into the recess 1003 a sufficient depth to retain the food item. In the depicted embodiment, closure recess 1003 may be a slot form in the front panel through which the distal end oftab 200 may be inserted into the cup portion ofbody 100. If will be appreciated that in addition to the depictedrecess 1003, other mechanisms for securing the elongated tab to the container body for use as a closure may be used. For example, structures that interact with one another to form a releasable lock could be disposed on thefront side 1000 and theconnection portion 2004 at desired locations or a suitable releasable adhesive cold be disposed on one or both such surfaces. - In some embodiments, containers in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure may be constructed form a from a suitable paper or cardboard material, such as artboard with food safe coated surfaces, to serve as a disposable service item. In some illustrative embodiments, such containers in accordance with the present disclosure may be formed from a suitable material that can be cut as a single sheet to form a blank that can be folded to form a finished container.
FIG. 9 depicts a layout for one such embodiment, where the container may be formed by cutting a single sheet of material that is then folded into the final form withtabs front panel 1000 for folding to secure to theback panel 1002, as by application of a suitable adhesive, and thereby form the container sides. Other embodiments have other shapes may be used, especially for other food items. Additionally, embodiments made from other materials, such as a container formed from injection molded plastic with the folds formed as “living hinges” that are reusable are also contemplated. - Additionally, methods of serving food to customers using containers in accordance with the present disclosure may include assembling such containers, placing food in them and attaching the container to the straw on a drinking cup and then providing the container and drinking cup to a customer.
