The specific embodiment
At first with reference to figure 1, food carriage 20 of the present invention comprises two independently vertical supporting faceplates 22 of board fiber board 26 and 28 central authorities of making, and board fiber board 26 and 28 usefulness adhesivess paste and form laminated panel together.
Two pallets 30 and 32 both sides from central supporting faceplate 22 stretch out, and can support nearly four glasss beverage, as cup 62, or solid food.
Also show the auxiliary tray 70 that optionally has sidewall 72,74 and diapire 76 in Fig. 1, diapire 76 has elongated central slit 78.
When client orders solid food and beverage, auxiliary tray 70 can be assemblied in downwards on the central support panel 22, central support panel 22 passes slit 78, auxiliary tray 70 to lower slider until the upper edge 52 that leans against goblet top or pallet 30 and 32.Be provided with hand hole 34 at central support panel 22, need only one hand insert hand hole 34 and just all foods can be transported to the seat from the franchise distribution point of stadium or similar site.
When client gets back to its seat, from pallet 70, take out solid food, slide tray 70 leaves central support panel 22, takes out beverage from pallet 30 and 32 then and distributes to the people who orders food.
Carriage bottom that central support panel 22 and pallet 30,32 constitute and auxiliary tray 70 preferably can flatten to fold and be housed in the franchise distribution point with compactness.With more detailed introduction, this base unit is very beneficial as below, because can launch very quick and easily, and own upright, thus can put into goblet apace, thus improve attendant's work efficiency.
And according to the present invention, this carriage has the face area of expansion, is used to show advertiser's advertisement, and the advertiser buys and provides carriage to food seller or dealer, thereby makes advertiser's advertisement value reach maximum.
Preferred carriage bottom
The structure of preferred carriage shown in Figure 1 bottom can make the bottom than being easier to and launching apace, but also it can be stood upright on the horizontal surface and the speed of quickening loading of pieces.
Referring now to Fig. 1 and 2,, pallet 32 comprises the vertical collapsible sidewalls of being made up of sidewall 40,42 and 44, one end of sidewall extends from panel 28, and to panel 28, tab 54 is from stretching out near panel 28 lower edges by tab 54 usefulness adhesive for the other end.
As clearly shown in Figure 2, to form horizontal supporting panel 46, be arranged to compatibly to be assembled to the boundary that is formed by side wall construction, when carriage is placed on horizontal surface, can be in erectility by frame support bracket by its shape and size along fold line 52 bendings for panel 28.Horizontal panel 46 has two bigger holes 48 and 50, and goblet can be accepted and keep to its shape and size, and as cup 62, Fig. 1 shows the cup 62 that is contained in the opening 48.
In general, goblet is bevelled, so its bottom is slightly less than the top, and the size of hole 48 and 50 can keep cup 62 like this, and promptly the upper edge 64 of cup is positioned at horizontal panel 46 tops, but is lower than the upper edge 52 of pallet 32.
Fig. 3 shows the view of the food carriage bottom that flattens folding Fig. 1.Two side wall constructions are flat respectively to be laminated to relative oneself side, and horizontal panel 46 and 47 is upwards folding and be flat on the central support panel 22.
When launching the carriage bottom, attendant only needs the bight of will finger inserting folding sidewall, spurs then along the 82 expression directions pullings of arrow among Fig. 4, and in the corresponding point of another pallet (not shown in Figure 4), launches sidewall and forms pallet 30 and 32.
Referring now to Fig. 2,4 and 5 and Figure 14,, extendible portion 58, outshot 56 and 58,88 and 100 lower edges from sidewall extend internally and form platform, and horizontal supporting panel 46 is positioned at above the platform, to support a plurality of heavier mugs of filling beverage.
As shown in Figure 4, outshot has circular incision zone 90,92, can be corresponding pallet when launching hole 48 and 50 limit.
One end of the outshot that extends from longer sidewall 42 has fold line 86 and tab 84, tab 84 is fixed to the outshot 100 that extends from panel 40 lower edges with adhesives.
Outshot 56 and 58 is unfixing mutually, and outshot 56 slips over above outshot 58 when launching.
The tab 96 that the outshot 58 of sidewall 44 has fold line 98 and extends below horizontal supporting panel 46.The most handy adhesives is fixed to panel 46 with tab 96, when launching pallet, can automatically panel 46 be pulled down to the space between sidewall 40,42 and 44.
Fig. 5 shows the pallet 32 when launching fully.Otch 90,92 is aimed at hole 48,50, and the outshot around it provides enough supportings for horizontal panel 46.
Referring now to Fig. 2,, each panel 46 and 47 ragged edge are arranged to along 55, after panel turns to its level attitude fully, preferably can with sidewall 42 or 43 slight frictional engagement, and remain on the appropriate location.When opening pallet 30 and 32 in the above described manner, horizontal supporting panel 46 and 47 can not be deployed into the bottom of its respective trays always.And just press to the position of panel 47 shown in Figure 2 by halves.This can't hinder quick loading bracket, in fact also has to help make goblet, and as with 66 cups of representing, the opening 51 by panel 47 and tray bottom correctly.Then, when mentioning carriage, it is correctly in place that the weight of filling the cup of beverage spurs panel 46 and 47 downwards, do not need the attendant to do other effort.
Therefore, attendant need only launch the pallet that action just can set loading of pieces by one.Even horizontal panel 46 and 47 is in obliquity shown in Figure 2, also can make sidewall keep desired shape, can be kept upright in surperficial as shown in Figure 2 60 o'clock thereby make whole carriage be placed on horizontal surface.
Figure 14 shows the board fiber board shape 104 that is used for forming half bottom of carriage.Second half pasted together with two vertical panels of adhesives bottom same shape was used for forming.Other faceplate part is fixed together, then the unit that assembles is flattened folding so that be transported to the client.
Fig. 6 shows along fold line 102 and flattens folding auxiliary tray 70.When using sub-panel, be easy to catch end plates 72 and draw back and sub-panel erects.Certainly, will be appreciated that auxiliary tray 70 also may be used solely to transport solid food.Goblet can not be transported safely though auxiliary tray is too soft usually, one or two glass of beverage can be transported reluctantly.It is better and safer to use the carriage bottom to transport beverage.
The structure of carriage bottom makes it comparatively firm and can support the heavier cup of filling beverage, and is deposited in the solid food in the auxiliary tray 70.This mainly can make sidewall keep desired shape because have the collapsible upright side walls structure of horizontal supporting panel.
Though carriage bottom is preferably used in and transports beverage, also can be used for transporting solid food, as hot dog and hamburger, need only that it is enough big, can from the hole of tray bottom, not drop out.
In fact, a kind of modification of the carriage bottom of Fig. 1 has been shown among Figure 12, the tray bottom does not have the hole.This modification is particularly suitable for transporting bigger or less solid food.Its structure will be described in detail below.
Multilevel cup holder
Fig. 7 shows another alternative embodiment of carriage of the present invention bottom.Carriage shown in Fig. 7 bottom 106 structures structure with the carriage bottom of Fig. 1 to a great extent are identical, so corresponding components is used identical label in these two accompanying drawings.
Two pallets 107 and 109 are fixed near the lower edge of central support panels 22.Introduce as top, pallet 107 has sidewall panel 40,42 and 44.Similarly, pallet 109 has sidewall panel 41,43 and 45.
As shown in Figure 9, pallet 107 is formed by the sidewall in conjunction with extendible portion, and extendible portion comprises the panel 110,112,114 and 116 that extends from the bottom of panel 28, folds up as shown in Figure 9 and forms rectangular configuration 108.Make the rectangular configuration stickup be fixed to panel 28 by adhesives being applied to latter end 116.
Be provided with upper shed and under shed with the supporting goblet.The lateral-supporting that is positioned at two spaced apart positions of supporting cup side helps to improve the stability when transporting cup.
Above-mentioned foldable structure 108 is fixed to sidewall by a pair of tab 134, and tab is sheared out from the material of panel 112, as shown in Figure 8.These tabs are assembled in the otch 136 that cuts out on the limit 42 and 43 of the sidewall sections of structure.
The carriage bottom that Figure 10 shows Fig. 7 flattens the view after folding.As shown in the figure, the structure 108 of Fig. 9 upwards folds into position shown in Figure 10, and sidewall sections folds into the left side.
When launching the carriage bottom, the attendant need only spur the relative bight of sidewall, as the embodiment of Fig. 1, and the elasticity of board fiber board makes structure 108 turn to position shown in Figure 11 downwards by halves, therefore make sidewall keep rectangular shape, and frame support bracket bottom is in set-up positions, thereby makes the loading of carriage easier.
When being placed on the horizontal surface, drinking container waits for that when upwards mentioning carriage, the additional openings 118,122,126 and 130 that is arranged on each pallet upper wall helps to make drinking container to keep stable.
When upwards mentioning carriage, the weight of goblet pulls down structure 108, makes the tab 134 that stretches out be positioned at the otch 136 of sidewall sections 42 and 43, thereby cup retaining part 108 is locked onto sidewall, to form firm carriage.
Perhaps, except tab 134 and otch 136, folding outshot, the outshot 56,58,80,88 and 100 shown in Fig. 2-5 can also be from bottom supporting structure 108 shown in Fig. 1 embodiment.
Though not shown in Figure 7, should be realized that auxiliary tray 70, such as the auxiliary tray 70 shown in Fig. 1 and 6, mode that can also be identical with Fig. 1 structure is used for carriage bottom shown in Figure 7.
Figure 15 shows the deploying portion that forms carriage shown in Figure 7 bottom.Similarly, there is shown the essential part of making half bottom of carriage, same part can be used to form second half.
Sidewall sections uses the band 146 that separates with the structure remainder to constitute, but if necessary, sidewall sections also can form by mode embodiment illustrated in fig. 14 whole extendible portion as structure.
Band 146 has end 150 and 154, is fixed on the panel 28 at fold line 148 places near panel 28 lower edges.
The stacked-up type carriage
Figure 12 is the transparent view of another kind of food carriage 140 of the present invention.This carriage comprises the identical bottom with Fig. 1 or bottom shown in Figure 7, and auxiliary tray 141, on its structure with unit bottom shown in Figure 1 much at one, just do not have the cup receiver hole at horizontal supporting panel 46 and 47.
In addition, two and half ones of auxiliary bracket 141 make with single panel base or two separate sections, the upper edge be fixed together therefore two panels 142 and 144 sagging in central support panel 22 upper edges.Panel 42 and 44 has the hole 34 that the position is aimed at the hole 34 of base unit, therefore forms the single hand hole 34 of combined bracket.
Two panels 142 and 144 are not fixed together, so the central support panel 22 of base unit can easily be assembled to the opening between panel 142 and 144.
Therefore, auxiliary bracket 141 " stacked " is on base unit.
Auxiliary bracket 141 has independent purposes.When client only orders solid food, perhaps when not needing the goblet receiver hole, can use carriage 141 separately.Therefore, except that liquid food, can also transport solid food.Perhaps, auxiliary bracket 141 can be provided with the goblet receiver hole, so that extra beverage transporting power to be provided.
Should select the height of auxiliary unit 141, make that the cup in the cup receiver hole that remains on base unit can have enough spaces, extend upward suitable distance from base unit.

Two extension panels 762 and 764 then are folded on the left hand edge of panel 724 and 720, and bonding in place, so that strengthen the vertical support structure of carriage.
Cut 752 foldingly downwards, so that part covers the hole that is stayed by the otch that is used for separating device 770 and 772, thereby provide buffering between the bottle in double one of phase of carriage, to avoid possible damage along its upper limb.Bonding extension panel 762 and 764 helps to strengthen this structure on the hole that keeps in panel 724.
Wall 712,714 and 716 folds, up to from the right-hand member of panel 716 outward extending flange 762 around an edge roll of panel 720 around and bonding (seeing Figure 48 and Figure 55) in place till.
Similarly, sidewall 728,726 and 718 folds, and panel 260 around the edge roll of panel 724 around and bonding in place.These bonding panels 760 and 762 help to strengthen center support structure, cut away separating device 730 and 732 and 772 and the process of tab 773 and 775 in remove material from this bearing set.
Shown in Figure 55, turning tab 764,766 is arranged on the panel 718,728,712 that bonds on adjacent panels 768 and 742 and 716 lower edge.
It is hinged that top panel 742 is shown in the edge of panel 720 and 724, and the slit 738 that tab 740 wherein is installed is shown in panel 714 and 726.
The gained carriage has very firm bottom construction, and when beverage was placed wherein, bottom construction can automatically lock, and without any need for secondary locking mechanism or start this mechanism.
In addition, compare,, can use lighter paper board material to make carriage, therefore save cost owing to the intensity of bottom with " lifting bottom " carriage of prior art.
