Description

  The object of the present invention relates to a food container with a hole forming part of the container and provides a container suitable for holding a cup. Thus, if one container contains both a cup and food, the consumer can carry everything with one hand or arm.

  The invention is particularly utilized in the field of the food industry, particularly in catering, the hotel industry, and home use.

  Today, it is more and more common to see people whose lifestyle is prepared food and ready to eat at specialty stores such as fast food restaurants, cinemas, theaters and concerts It is supposed to be.

  If an individual goes to one of these facilities and purchases one or more combinations of food and drinks, he has the problem of not being able to carry everything with both hands, making it difficult to carry everything together. There was often the risk of dropping everything, and as a result, it was often the case that consumers had to find a way to carry everything at once using their arms and body.

  The object of the present invention is to overcome these problems by providing a container for food with a hole forming part of the container and suitable for holding a cup.

  Accordingly, the present invention has the advantage of solving the aforementioned problems and providing a food container that can carry food and drink together with one hand or arm, providing greater comfort to the user. .

The present invention relates to a drink holder and a food container, wherein the drink holder and food container are:
Each formed by a set of a plurality of side walls and bearing surfaces (support surfaces), both parts comprising an upper part and a lower part connected and connected together in an articulated manner;
When at least one of the bearing surfaces is a hole that forms part of the container, with a hole into which the cup can be inserted, and when one container contains both the cup and food, the consumer has only one hand and arm Can carry everything.
In a preferred embodiment, the hole may be circular or polygonal at the center of the bearing surface and complementary to the cup shape.

The embodiment has three different modes:
The hole is defined by a closed punch line;
The holes are covered with a sheet of clear paper and the holes are opened during the manufacturing process at the factory.
The food container can be held by holding a cup.
In other embodiments, the holes can be placed at any offset position with respect to the bearing surface and can have other geometric shapes to match the shape of the cup.

  The food container can have any geometric shape, is formed of any material, and in the preferred embodiment is formed of cardboard.

  The present invention has the advantage of providing a food container that can carry food and drink together with one hand or arm, providing greater comfort to the user.

In order to complete the specification for the purpose of facilitating a better understanding of the features of the present invention, the set of drawings is included as an integral part of the specification and is illustrated below as a non-limiting example. Represented:
FIG. 1 corresponds to the first embodiment, and it is shown that the food container of the present invention has a cup inserted into the hole in the lower part of the container, and breaks the punching line in which the hole is closed. And shows a spare sheet attached to one end. FIG. 2 corresponds to the second embodiment and shows the hood container of FIG. 1, but in this case the holes are covered with a sheet of transparent paper, and the transparent paper is removed to insert the cup Therefore, transparent paper is not shown. FIG. 3 corresponds to the third embodiment, in which the holes are opened during the manufacturing process at the factory. FIG. 3 is an image diagram of the application of the present invention, showing that the cup is held with one hand without having the upper part with the other hand.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a container suitable for holding a cup (5) with a hole (6) forming part of the container (1) in relation to a food container (1). is there. This allows the consumer to carry everything with just one hand or arm when one container (1) contains both the cup (5) and food.

  The drink holder and food container (1) has an upper part (2) and a lower part (3), each part (2, 3) is composed of a set of side walls (8) and a bearing surface (9) One of the two parts (2,3) is provided with a hole (6), into which the cup (5) can be inserted.

  The food container (1) may contain chips, hamburgers and other fast food to eat or take out at restaurants.

  The hole (6) of the preferred embodiment is centrally located with respect to the bearing surface (9) of the two parts, either the upper part or the lower part (2,3), and the cup (5) It does not cause loss of assembly stability.

  In other embodiments, the hole (6) can be located at any offset position relative to the bearing surface (9).

  The hole (6) may have other geometric shapes to match the shape of the cup (5) and is circular in the preferred embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, the hole (6) is defined by a closed punch line (4), as shown in FIG. The small part of the container (1) defined in the closed punch line (4) is called the spare sheet (7). The choice of hanging the remaining spare sheet (7) or removing it completely is a consumer preference. FIG. 1 shows a spare sheet (7) suspended from one end.

  Breaking the closed punch line (4) is easily and easily done with finger pressure. The remaining holes (6) are large enough to hold the weight of a cup (5) with ice or other article, such as a bottle.

  If the drink is not obtained with the purchase of food, the spare sheet (7) can be left intact in its initial configuration, i.e. forms part of the container (1).

  In the second embodiment, the hole (6) is covered with a sheet of transparent paper, the transparent paper may be affixed to the container (1), or both shapes are transparent paper The sheet may be easily broken to allow easy removal of the sheet. Needless to say, the holes (6) may be covered by a sheet of any other material.

  In the third embodiment, the hole (6) is opened during the manufacturing process at the factory.

  FIG. 3 corresponds to a third embodiment in which the holes (6) are opened during the manufacturing process in the factory, usually without the upper part (2) of the container by hand, but at the heaviest part. Fig. 4 shows how a user holds a plastic cup.

  In the preferred embodiment, the container (1) is made of cardboard and folded at the corner, thereby having the typical configuration of this type of container (1). Needless to say, the container (1) may have an arbitrary geometric shape and may be formed of an arbitrary material.

  In another embodiment, the bearing surface (9) may have another geometry, which is flat in the preferred embodiment.

  Drinks purchased to eat with food are usually sold in frustoconical cups (5). This kind of fast food cup (5) will often be equipped with a straw and will allow you to drink the contents without tilting.

  The invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein, and other configurations can be practiced by those skilled in the art in light of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the claims.

The following is a list of various elements shown in the drawings of the present invention.
