Definitions

• the present utility model relates to an improvement introduced in a support for food articles, and, more particularly, to a support for Easter eggs.
• the present utility model relates to a support for food articles comprising a piece of material comprising a base and at least two side walls extending along the same, the base provided with projections that extend outward therefrom, thereby forming a base lug which receives the base of the food article to be exposed.
• One objective of the present utility model is to provide a support for food articles that maintains the food article in its predetermined position, preventing it from moving and preventing any damage from this movement.
• Another objective of the present utility model is to provide a support for food articles that keep the food article protected from damage, while exposing it properly.
• a support for food articles comprising a support for food articles that comprises a material piece comprising a base; at least two side walls extending vertically; at least one fastening element located at the end of each of said at least two side walls; and at least two projections, which are opposite each other, extending from the base, said at least two projections extending vertically.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of the support for food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 2 is a front view of the support for food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 3 is a left side view of the support for food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 4 is a right side view of the support for food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 5 is an upper view of the support for food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 6 is a bottom view of the support for the food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 7 is a flattened view of the support for food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 8 is an additional flattened view of the support for food articles of the present utility model
• Figure 9 is an additional flattened view of the support for food articles of the present utility model, showing a different construction of the upper flap.
• Figure 10 is a perspective view of the support for additional food articles of the present utility model, illustrating a confectionery included therein.
• Figures 1 , 7 and 8 illustrate the support for food articles 10 of the present application that comprises a material piece comprising a base 20 and at least two side walls 30, 30 ' which extend upwards therefrom, which are separated by fold lines 25, 25 '.
• the base 20 should be wide enough to accommodate the base of the food article to be received on the support 10.
• the side walls in turn, as noticed from Figures 3 and 4, should be sufficiently high to extend along the height of the food article to be housed in the support 10.
• the material piece forming the support for food articles 10 may be any material that can be folded or creased including a natural material, a synthetic polymeric material or a mixture thereof.
• the side walls 30, 30 1 have, at their ends, fastening elements 40, 40' which are responsible for connecting one side wall 30 to the other side wall 30 ', and which are separated by fold lines 35, 35'.
• the fastening elements may overlap and subsequently engage one another or be bonded or adhered to one another.
• one of the at least two side walls 30 may include just one fastening element 40, which is connected to the other of the at least two side walls 30 ', both adhered thereto and by means of a flap.
• the two fastening elements 40, 40 ' overlap, thereby connecting the two side walls, they form an opening 50 through which it may eventually pass any type of supporting element to maintain the support 10 suspended at a point of sale.
• the food article a confectionery, and more preferably, the confectionery is an Easter egg, and the crown of the Easter egg package will passes through the opening 50, as illustrated in Figure 10.
• the opening 50 is pre-formed in the fastening element 40.
• the crown of the package will then extend through the opening 50.
• projections 60, 60 ' extend, wherein each end 70, 70', 80, 80 ' of said projections can be further fastened to the bottom of each of the side walls 30, 30 ', thereby forming a lug on each side of the base 20 of the support 10, which prevents the food article from moving when it is exposed and handled at the point of sale, as seen in Figure 10.Thus, the base of the article being received by the support lies within the region delimited by the two lugs and the two side walls.
• the base 20 is also separated from the projections 60, 60 ' by fold lines 55, 55'.
• the projections 60, 60 ' may have additional fold lines which facilitate the formation of lugs.
• said lug can also be constructed by individual strips that are then applied on the base 20 of the support and fixed to its side walls 30, 30 '.
