Definitions

  • the present invention consists of a temporary food covering device (especially for cakes). It enables the isolation of the cake's surface from its surroundings, thus preventing its contamination by external elements.
  • Cakes are desserts eaten in multiple celebrations. More particularly, they are traditionally consumed in birthday parties, in which a cake with lighted candles representing the age of the person is served for he or she to blow them out.
  • Candles are usually composed of a wick placed inside a wax or paraffin bar (sometimes shaped like a number representing the person's age). As the wick burns, the wax melts, spilling all over the surface of the cake.
  • a wax or paraffin bar sometimes shaped like a number representing the person's age
  • document ES 1 232 469 U describes a cake cover comprised of a sidewall and a lid, with the lid including a set of flaps that are introduced in the sidewall's slots.
  • the document also mentions the implementation of a set of holes for the insertion of candles.
  • candles due to these holes being flushed with the lid's surface, candles have no support. Thus, they may fall from a vertical position.
  • a temporary food covering device (especially for desserts and more particularly for cakes) with a lid easily attachable to a lateral covering body -with both elements perfectly attaching to one another and with holes for candles, sparklers or any other decorative element- has been developed.
  • the present invention consists of a temporary food covering device (especially for desserts and more particularly for cakes).
  • This temporary cake covering device is comprised of a lid and a side covering body.
  • the side covering body is intended to cover the cake's side and to support the lid.
  • This side covering body is hollow, with its top and low areas open to place the cake inside.
  • This side covering body is usually a hollow cylinder, although it can have any other shape like, for instance, a polygon. This enables the covering of any type of cake: from one shape like a heart, to one shaped like a number, and so on.
  • this lateral covering body is a self-assembling rectangular sheet the ends of which can be attached, thus creating a hollow body.
  • the sheet includes end-to-end joints that enable assembling the sheet in different shapes so that the lateral covering body can be adapted to different cakes. If a polygonal shape is to be obtained, the sheet includes bending lines and can also be bent manually to create a polygonal body such as a square or a rectangular.
  • the side covering element is made with a semi-rigid, flexible material which can be opaque, transparent, or translucid (laminated cardstock or plastic, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polypropylene, etc.).
  • a lid is placed on the side covering body.
  • the purpose of this lid it to cover the cake's top as well as to support different decorative elements such as candles, sparklers, or any element one might wish to put on the cake, thus preventing direct contact between them and the cake's surface.
  • the material of which the cover is made of does not limit the scope of the invention. That is, any suitable material might be used for this purpose.
  • the material used for the lid is plastic (for instance, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polypropylene, etc.). It can be transparent, opaque, or translucent.
  • the lid may also include a decorative screen printing or a sticker on it.
  • the lid is a flat body with a continuous flap at its external perimeter edge, which extends across the whole perimeter substantially perpendicular to the lid's surface (1).
  • the lid has the same shape as the side covering body, so that when the lid is placed on the side covering body, it is surrounded by the lid's flap, which attaches both elements.
  • the lid and the side covering body are made using one piece of material.
  • the flap that extends perpendicularly from the lid's edge is the side covering body.
  • the material used for the covering device can any material suited for this purpose. For instance, a polymeric material produced via injection process or thermoformed plastic can be used to create the side covering body.
  • the covering device also comprises a base that attaches to the lower part of the side covering body.
  • the base which can be a piece of the same nature as the lid, is comprised of a flat body with one continuous flap at its external perimeter edge. This tab extends in a substantially perpendicular manner to the lid's surface, thus surrounding and attaching to the side covering body.
  • the lid's surface comprises at least one crown-like circular indentation.
  • the indent creates a crown-like shape on the lid.
  • the indentation can be polygonal, it may also be straight or even be a set of indentations (concentric circular crowns, parallel straight indentations, polygonal indentations, and so on).
  • the indentation or indentations determined the position of the candles, sparklers, and other decorative elements, as they offer not only a jig for setting these elements, but also a lateral support once placed. These elements usually get stuck in the indentation's inner surface. According to an embodiment option, the indentation or indentations' surface has reliefs such as undulations that facilitate sticking candles or other elements.
  • the indentation includes a set of holes for inserting candles or other elements (sparklers, decorative elements).
  • the lid may comprise a set of discontinuous indentations or alveoli (shaped like the bottom part of the candles) in which candles are introduced. This allows setting the candles without the usage of accessories with sharp ends to stick them in the cake or, in other embodiments of the invention, the lid.
  • the lid comprises one or more indentations, which are also comprised of a set of indentations or alveoli.
  • the covering device may also include a second, transparent lid, which is to be placed on top of the first lid.
  • the second lid is transparent. Its purpose is for users to be able to include images (such as pictures or photographs) in between the two lids.
  • the temporary cake cover device is comprised of a lid (1) and a side covering body (2).
  • FIGS 1 and 2 show a possible preferred embodiment of the lid (1).
  • the lid (1) is a flat, circular body comprised of a continuous flap (10) at its perimeter edge, which extends across the whole perimeter substantially perpendicular to the lid's surface (1).
  • the lid's surface is comprised of a crown-like circular indentation (11).
  • the candles (3) are set on this indentation, which prevents them to fall. Candles are usually attached to the lid by means of an accessory placed on the bottom part of the candle that is comprised of a sharp end to stick them to the lid.
  • Figure 3 shows the side covering body (2) corresponding to the lid (1) showed in the previous figures.
  • This side covering element (2) creates a hollow cylinder.
  • FIGS 4 and 5 show the lid (1) attach to the side covering body (2) without and with candles, respectively. It can be seen how the flap (10) surrounds the side covering body's (2) upper part, thus attaching both elements.
  • Figure 6 shows an embodiment of the lid (1) in which the lid's (1) surface includes a set of alveoli (12) in which candles (3) are placed. These enable sticking the candles without the need of an accessory with sharp end.
  • Figures 6 and 7 shows an embodiment of the side covering body (2), which consists of a rectangular sheet with at least a tab (20) in one end (the embodiment featured in the figures comprises two tabs) and at least one slot (21) in the other end, which corresponds to the tab (11).
  • the tab (20) can be inserted in the slot (21) to create a hollow cylinder inside which the cake is introduced.
  • the tabs (20) have a narrower and a wider part, with the former matching the size of the slots (21).
  • the wider part of the tab (20) is introduced in the slot (21) either laterally or by producing a small elastic deformation on it so that once it is inserted into the slot (12), the wider part will prevent the tab (20) to detach from the slot (21), thereby firmly attaching both ends of the sheet.
  • Figure 8 shows an embodiment of the side covering body (2).
  • This side covering body (2) consists of a rectangular sheet that includes a second set of slots (22) parallel to the first set of slots (21) located in the farthest area from the end.
  • a hollow cylinder smaller than the one resulted from introducing the tab to the first set of slots (21) is obtained.
