Aug. 9, 1966 R. L. BUTZKO 3,265,280
DOUGHNUT PACKAGE Filed April 14. 1964 E ngl.
INVENTOR HUBERT L.. BUTZK 21%. I MAAN* AT'TCIRNEYT United States Patent O 3,265,280 DUGHNUT PACKAGE Robert lL. Butzko, 94 Nash Lane, Bridgeport, Conn. Filed Apr. 14, 1964, Ser. No. 359,579 3 Claims. (Cl. 229-25) The present invention relates to a doughnut package. Doughnuts, both of the plain variety and lthose coated with sugar, cinnamon, frosting, or the like, present a difficult packaging problem in that contact with each other for any considerable time causes their contacting su-rfaces to adhere and deteriorate, becoming soggy, crumbly and otherwise undesirable. Also, the tendency of the doughnuts in contact with each other to move about in vthe package contributes to their deterioration.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved package including means to position the individual doughnuts against relative movement and out of contact with each other. A further object is to provide a package formed of transparent plastic sheet material whereby the contents will be completely visible.
Another object is to provide a package which may be economically molded by vacuum or pressure forming procedures from thin plastic sheet material, for example, polyvinyl film, such material being non-absorbent, impervious to air and moisture, and free from odor or other contaminating factors. A further object is to provide a package molded from thin sheet material and embodying a structural form making for both extremely light weight and substantial rigidity against distortion and crushing. A still further object is to provide a package which is capable of nesting engagement with a similar package, to the end that a large number of such packages may be stored in a small space preparatory to their use.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein a satisfactory embodiment of the invention is shown. However, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details disclosed but includes all such variations and modifications as fall within the spirit of the invention and 4the scope of the appended claims.
In the drawings:
FIG. l is a plan view -of a package according to the invention shown in its open position;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 2 2 of FIG. l;
FIG. 3 is an end elevation;
FIG. 4 is a sectional View taken along the line 4--4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of the closed package with doughnuts contained therein, the sectional `showing being the same as that of FIG. 4.
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 are enlarged fragmentary sectional views showing modified securing means.
Referring to the drawings, the doughnut package according to the exemplary embodiment of the invention illustrated therein is formed from thin plastic sheet material, for example, polyvinyl iilm, by well-known vacuum or pressure forming procedures and, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises two matching or complementary receptacle sections of rectangular form joined together along one side by a hinge connection to thus enable the two sections to be folded into superimposed position to form a closed container, which may then be secured or sealed along the unhinged sides. It is pointed out that the two receptacle sections may if desired be separate and when superimposed -to form a container secured or sealed along all four sides.
Each receptacle section comprises a horizontal planar base wall 10 of generally rectangular form and a side ICC wall 11 joined at one edge to the base w-all and provided at its other edge with a lateral outwardly extending flange 12, thus providing a pan-like receptacle open at one side. In the illustrated embodiment, where the two matching receptacle sections are hingedly connected, the flange portions 12 along the adjacent longitudinal edges of the two sections are integrally connected and are delineated by a crease or score line 13 molded therein, thus enabling the easy hinge movement of one section into and out of superimposed closed relation with the other. The base wall 10 of each section is provided at its inner side with a plurality of spaced circular pockets 14., and centrally of each pocket there is provided a cone-shaped projection 15, the convergent end of which terminates in a plane inwardly of the plane of the flange 12. The pockets are arranged in such relation that when the two receptacle sections `are superimposed the pockets of one will regi-ster with the pockets of the other. In the illustrated embodiment six pockets are provided in each receptacle part arranged in two longitudinal rows of three each, the resultant package -thus being adapted to `accommodate twelve doughnuts.
The side wall 11 is provided at each corner with a curved panel portion 16 and along its sides with outwardly offset panel portions 17 in line with the pockets 14 and inwardly offset panel portions 18 between the panel portions 17. Between the panel portions 17 and 13 there are provided relatively narrow vertically disposed connecting wall portions 19 which provide the side wall with a series of spaced stiffening columns to give it substantial rigidity against distortion or crushing, the stiffening effect being enhanced by the merging of the wall portions 19 into the flange 12. At the same time the outwardly offset panel portions 17 provide clearance spaces at the inner side of the side wall in which the peripheries of the doughnuts positioned in the recesses may be received without contacting the side wall.
As seen in FIG. 5 a doughnut D is engaged in each pocket 14 of both receptacle sections with the conical projection 15 Wedgingly engaged in the hole of the doughnut, so that each doughnut is thus positioned against lateral movement to prevent its contact with the side wall or with the adjacent doughnuts. The two receptacle sections are folded about the hinge line 13 into superimposed position with the flanges 12 superimposed along the three unhinged sides whe-re they are secured or sealed by suitable means, for example by heat-sealing, by stapling, or by an adhesive tape 2d folded about the superimposed flanges. Prior to closing the two receptacle sections of the container a separation sheet 21 of plastic lilm, cardboard, paraffin paper, or the like may be interposed between the superimposed doughnuts. Thus the individual doughnuts are completely out of contact with each other and are supported within the container against relative movement. The plastic material of the package, including the separation sheet 21, is preferably transparent so that the contents are visible for inspection by prospective purchasers.
In the modilication shown in FIG. 6, the four marginal edges of the separation sheet 21a are extended and interposed between -the superimposed anges 12 of the two receptacle sections where they are clamped by the securing tape 2d folded about the flanges. Obviously the flanges and the interposed sheet may be secured by other suitable means, as for example staples.
In the modification shown in FIG. 7, the separation sheet 2lb has its marginal edges secured between the superimposed flanges 12 by heat sealing, this procedure being carried out by well-known means to cause the engaged surfaces of the anges `and the separation sheet to fhomogeneously adhere. In this oase the separation sheet is of a suitable material capable of heat sealing. In the case of the receptacle sections Ibeing yformed of a material which is difficult to heat seal, for example oriented polystyrene, the separation sheet may be of a diverse material having the capability of heat sealing to the material of the receptacle sections, such material being for example Iwax paper. In order to facilitate separation or opening of the receptacle sections the edge of the separa-tion sheet is preferably inwardly offset so that an unadhered space is provided extending inwardly from the outer edges of the flanges. With this arrangement the flange of one section may be readily lifted or peeled from the separation sheet by exerting a suicient -force thereon to break `the heat seal. Also, one receptacle section may be open lwhile the other remains closed by leaving the separation sheet in place.
In the modification shown in FIG. 8 pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 is interposed between the surfaces of the flanges and the margin of the separation sheet. Such adthesive may be conveniently applied either to the marginal upper and lower surfaces of the separation sheet or to `the opposed surfaces -of the flanges. With this arrangement lche container may be readily opened -by separation of the adhesive seal, and may be resealed by applying pressure to the flanges to cause the pressure-sensitive a-dhesive to adhere.
In the modifications shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 it is pointed out that in the case of the receptacle parts being hinged along one side the sealing will be along the unhinged sides, while in the case of the receptacle parts being separate the sealing will be along all four sides.
