Detailed description of utility model

The subject of this utility model relates to a food container (1) having an opening (6) forming a part of the container (1) adapted to hold a cup (5). As a result, when a cup (5) and food are contained in one container (1), the consumer can carry it all with just one hand.

The food container (1) with the function of a beverage holder has an upper part (2) and a lower part (3), with each part (2, 3) formed by several side walls (8) and a supporting surface (9), and any of the two parts (2, 3) has an opening (6) into which a cup (5) can be inserted.

Chips, hamburgers and other instant food that can be eaten in a restaurant or taken with you can be placed in the container (1) for food.

The hole (6) in the preferred embodiment is located in the center of any of the supporting surfaces (9) of the upper or lower parts (2, 3) so that the cup (5) does not violate the strength of the assembly.

In other embodiments, the hole (6) may be located in any position offset from the abutment surfaces (9).

The hole (6) may have various geometric shapes corresponding to the shape of the cup (5), which, in the preferred embodiment, has a circular shape.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the hole (6) is defined (indicated) by a closed perforation line (4). A small part of the container (1), surrounded by a closed line (4) of perforation, is called a chiseled sheet (7). The choice to leave the cut sheet (7) hanging, or to completely remove it, remains with the consumer. In FIG. 1, a carved sheet (7) is shown hanging at one end.

The breaking of the closed line (4) of the perforation is carried out simply by lightly pressing the finger. The resulting hole (6) is strong enough to hold the weight of the glass (5) with ice or another object, for example, a bottle, etc.
