Description

  • The Invention relates generally to the field of food serving and containers but more particularly to a lunch box that can unfold into a placemat.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • There are several inventions in the field of food serving that present products that have two uses. Most have to do with combining utensils with placemats. Others are more like trays with predefined cavities that act like bowls or plates.
  • There are of course a variety of boxes which can be unfolded into flat pieces of cardboards designed for single use but these patents are generally for the manufacturing process or to disclose means for storage of boxes which are made out of flat sheets of cardboard.
  • US 2006/0169690 describes a convertible device that converts between an activity mat and a storage container. The container has zippers or other suitable devices to fix the lateral walls of the container along their vertical edges. The container does not have a lid connected to the container so that the surface covered by the container in its open configuration is limited compared to the volume of the container. There does not appear to be a practical way to provide for a lunch box that also acts as a placemat.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known devices now present in the prior art, the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide objects and advantages which are:
  • To provide for a lunch container or lunch box which can be easily unfolded to create a practical placemat.
  • To provide for a lunch container that is designed for multiple usage and not for one time disposable usage.
  • To provide for a lunch container that can easily be carried about by hand or on a bicycle rack or such racks.
  • To provide for a lunch container having insulating capabilities.
  • To provide for a lunch container wherein the placemat configuration presents a useable surface that is easy to clean.
  • To provide for a lunch container with features such as holding straps for utensils and optional integrated pouch.
  • To provide for a container that can be used for a variety of other purposes besides carrying food, such as a make up kit.
  • To attain these ends, the present invention generally comprises a structure forming a boxlike configuration in one mode so as to perform the function of a lunch box. The structure consists of a lid, a front, a back, a first side, a second side, and a bottom. The placemat is located on the interior side of the structure when the structure performs the function of a flat placemat. In accordance with the invention, the structure has a first zipper that starts its run along one side of the lid, then continues on to one side of the back, then continues on to one side of the bottom, and then along one side of the front, and a second zipper that starts its run at the side of the lid which is in the lunch box configuration adjacent to the front, then continues on the side of the lid opposite to the first zipper, then continues on to the opposite side of the back, then on the opposite side of the bottom and then on the opposite side of the front (e'). Alternatively, the first zipper starts its run along one side of the back, then continues on to one side of the bottom, and then along one side of the front, and the second zipper that starts its run at a first side of the lid, then continues on to the side of the lid which is in the lunch box configuration adjacent to the front, then continues on the side of the lid opposite to the first side of the lid, then continues on to the opposite side of the back, then on the opposite side of the bottom and then on the opposite side of the front (e').
  • In a variation of the embodiment, a lid handle is located on the lid.
  • In another variation of the embodiment, a secondary handle is located on the first side.
  • In another variation of the embodiment, an end strap is located on the second side.
  • In another variation of the embodiment, a pouch is integrated within the placemat.
  • In another variation of the embodiment, holding straps located on the placemat for receiving catering articles.
  • In another variation of the embodiment, an end strap is located on the second side along with a pair of tying straps to tie the lunch box to a bicycle rack.
  • In another variation of the embodiment, the structure is made out of a flexible material having insulating properties.
  • The invention relates also to a method of use of such a lunch box consisting in the steps of a user, unzipping the first and second zippers and opening and unfolding the lunch box into its placemat configuration so that the user has access to the food.
  • There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
