A small hamper 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

Fig. 1 and 2 show a small hamper 100 according to a first embodiment of the utility model from the top and bottom, respectively. The small food box 100 comprises a peripheral wall 1, a first bottom wall 2 and a second bottom wall 3. A first bottom wall 2 and a second bottom wall 3 are each connected to the lower end of the circumferential wall 1, the first bottom wall 2 being offset a distance upwards with respect to the lower end edge of the circumferential wall 1, the second bottom wall 3 being arranged parallel to the first bottom wall 2 below the first bottom wall 2 and at a distance from the first bottom wall 2, the second bottom wall 3 comprising an opening 31 for cooperation with the upper circumferential wall of the beverage cup 200, whereby a chamber 4 for accommodating the upper part of the beverage cup 200 is formed between the first bottom wall 2 and the second bottom wall 3.

The first bottom wall 2 supports the snack food by its upper surface and rests by its lower surface on the top rim of the beverage cup 200. The first bottom wall 2 comprises a straw mouth 20 for inserting a straw 300. In use, the snack box 100 and the beverage cup 200 can be easily held together by inserting the straw 300 into the beverage cup 200 through the straw opening 20, thereby allowing one hand to hold both the snack box 100 and the beverage cup 200 and enjoy the convenience of eating a snack while drinking a beverage.

Furthermore, the cooperation of the opening 31 with the upper peripheral wall of the beverage cup 200 allows to further hold the snack box 100 and the beverage cup 200 together more securely, which can reduce the risk of the snack box 100 sliding off the beverage cup 200.

Preferably, the second bottom wall 3 is at least 5 mm from the first bottom wall 2. The greater distance results in a reduced degree of tilting of the beverage cup 200 relative to the small food box 100, so that the risk of the small food box 100 slipping off the beverage cup 200 can be further reduced.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the suction port 20 includes a circular hole 21 to allow insertion of the suction tube 300. At least one slit 22 communicating with the circular hole 21 is provided at the periphery of the circular hole 21 to allow insertion of a straw of a larger size. With this design, the straw port 20 allows for the insertion of straws of different sizes. It will be appreciated that the number and length of the slits 22 may be selected as desired.

Preferably, the suction nozzle 20 is arranged in the center of the first bottom wall 2. This allows the compact 100 to be more securely held with the beverage cup 200.

Fig. 4 shows an expanded view of a small hamper 100 according to a first embodiment of the utility model. The compact 100 may be die cut from a single sheet of paper material. On one hand, the paper material is more environment-friendly compared with the common plastic material, and accords with the national plastic limit policy. Paper sheets, on the other hand, allow folding into smaller planar products, thereby not taking up much space for transport and storage, facilitating transport and storage. Fig. 3 shows the compact 100 in a transport position, with the sheet of the compact 100 folded into a smaller planar product for transport and storage.

As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 4, the first and second bottom walls 2 and 3 are hexagonal in shape, and the peripheral wall 1 extends upward and outward around the first and second bottom walls 2 and 3. The peripheral wall 1 comprises six side walls corresponding to the hexagonal shape of the first and second bottom walls 2, 3, wherein the upper edges of two opposite side walls 11, 12 are in the shape of downwardly concave arcs and the upper edges of the other four side walls 13, 14, 15, 16 are in the shape of upwardly convex arcs. The modeling is unique and beautiful, and brings pleasant consumption experience to consumers.

However, it is clear that the first bottom wall 2 and the second bottom wall 3 may have any suitable shape, such as quadrangular, pentagonal, circular, etc. Similarly, the upper edge of the circumferential wall 1 may also have any suitable shape, for example straight or wavy.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the edge of the first bottom wall 2 is provided with a connecting lug 23, and the connecting lug 23 is used for being inserted into a connecting hole 17 formed on the peripheral wall 1. Two attachment lugs 23 and correspondingly two attachment holes 17 are shown. However, it is obvious that more or fewer attachment lugs 23 and attachment holes 17 may be included. The coupling hole 17 has a straw hat shape to allow the coupling lug 23 to be easily inserted into the coupling hole 17. It should be understood that the attachment holes 17 may have any suitable shape.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the second bottom wall 3 includes a connecting tongue 32, and the connecting tongue 32 is adapted to be inserted into the connecting slit 18 formed in the peripheral wall 1.

As shown in fig. 4, one free end of the peripheral wall 1 is provided with a connecting portion 19. When folding and joining the paper sheets into a box, the folding is first carried out according to the fold lines, then the joining lugs 23 are inserted into the joining holes 17 and the joining tongues 32 are inserted into the joining slits 18, and finally the joining portion 19 is fixed (for example by gluing, hook and loop joining, etc.) to the other free end of the peripheral wall 1. The assembly process can be completed by a machine, and the manufacturing efficiency is high.

A small hamper 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 5 to 7. In the following description, the same structure as that of the first embodiment will not be described in detail.

Fig. 5 shows in perspective a small hamper 100 according to a second embodiment of the utility model. As shown in fig. 5, the small food box 100 includes a peripheral wall 1 and a first bottom wall 2 connected to a lower end of the peripheral wall 1. The first bottom wall 2 is offset upwardly by a certain distance relative to the lower end edge of the peripheral wall 1. Thereby, a chamber 4 for accommodating an upper portion of a beverage cup 200 is formed below the first bottom wall 2.

The first bottom wall 2 supports the snack food by its upper surface and rests by its lower surface on the top edge of a beverage cup 200 (not shown in fig. 5). The first bottom wall 2 comprises a straw mouth 20 for insertion of a straw 300 (not shown in fig. 5).

Unlike the first embodiment, in this second embodiment, the compact 100 does not comprise a second bottom wall 3. In use, the compact 100 is held with the drinking cup 200 by a straw 300 inserted into the drinking cup 200 via the straw orifice 20.

Preferably, the first bottom wall 2 is at least 5 mm from the lower end edge of the peripheral wall 1. The greater distance reduces the degree of tilt of the beverage cup 200 relative to the small serving pod 100, thereby reducing the risk of the small serving pod 100 slipping off the beverage cup 200.

As shown in fig. 5, another difference from the first embodiment is that in the second embodiment, the small food box 100 includes a top cover 5 for covering the top of the peripheral wall 1. The top cover 5 may comprise snap lugs 51 provided on its edge, the snap lugs 51 being intended to snap into snap notches 111 provided on the respective upper edge of the peripheral wall 1. When the snack is not eaten, the top cover 5 is clamped on the peripheral wall 1, so that the snack in the snack box 100 can be prevented from being polluted and/or the snack in the snack box 100 can be prevented from scattering.

Fig. 5 shows that the cap 5 is integral with the peripheral wall 1. However, it should be understood that the top cover 5 and the peripheral wall 1 may be two separate parts, and the top cover 5 may not be provided as in the first embodiment. In addition, similarly, a top cover may also be provided in the first embodiment.

Fig. 7 shows an expanded view of a small hamper 100 according to a second embodiment of the utility model. The compact 100 may be die cut from a single sheet of paper material. Fig. 6 shows the small food box 100 in a transport state, the sheet of the small food box 100 being folded into a smaller planar product. As described above with respect to the first embodiment, the paper material is more environmentally friendly and the paper sheet allows for folding into smaller planar products for ease of transportation and storage.

As shown in fig. 5 and 7, the first bottom wall 2 has a hexagonal shape, and the peripheral wall 1 extends upward and outward around the first bottom wall 2. The peripheral wall 1 includes six side walls corresponding to the hexagonal shape of the first bottom wall 2, and an upper edge of each side wall is in an upwardly convex arc shape. The upper edge of the side wall of the peripheral wall 1 opposite to the side wall provided with the top cover 5 is provided with the clamping notch 111. The modeling is unique and beautiful, and brings pleasant consumption experience to consumers.

Obviously, in the second embodiment, the upper edges of the first bottom wall 2 and the peripheral wall 1 may also have any suitable shape, similar to the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 7, the sheet of the snack box 100 of the second embodiment includes a first fixing piece 25 provided between the first bottom wall 2 and the peripheral wall 1 and a second fixing piece 24 provided on an edge of the first bottom wall 2 opposite to the fixing piece 25, in addition to the connecting lug 23, the connecting hole 17, and the connecting portion 19 described with respect to the first embodiment. When the sheet is folded and connected into a box, the fixing of the first bottom wall 2 and the formation of the chamber 4 located below the first bottom wall 2 can be facilitated by folding the first and second fixing tabs 25, 24 upwards against the respective side walls of the peripheral wall 1 and fixing them to the peripheral wall 1 (for example by gluing, hook and loop fastening, etc.).

As shown in FIG. 7, the straw port 20 of the second embodiment has the same structure as that of the first embodiment, and will not be described herein again.

According to the present invention, the small food box 100 containing the small food is inserted into the straw 300 and then seated on the drinking cup 200, so that the small food box can be provided to the consumer, and the small food box is convenient to use and fast in eating speed. Moreover, the small hamper 100 provides a package allowing people to eat while walking, is sanitary, environment-friendly, cool in shape, high in strength, convenient to transport and store, and suitable for beverage cups of different sizes.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and therefore the scope of the present invention should be determined by that defined in the appended claims.
