Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to plastic food containers. More specifically, the present invention relates to a resealable plastic food container having a tamper proof sealing mechanism. [Prior Art] It is conventional to use plastic containers for packaging foods prepared in the food preparation and restaurant industries. A typical food container of the prior art consists of a solid colored (typically black) base and a transparent cover. Prior Art The transparent cover of the plastic food container allows visual inspection of the contents of the container. The lid and base of the prior art plastic food container may be separate items or may be hingedly attached to each other. In order to maintain the quality of the food contents and to prevent the contents of the sealed container from being taken, it is desirable that once sealed, the food container cannot be opened without having a visual indication that the container has been opened. Therefore, it is conventional in the prior art to manufacture a food container having a tamper evident seal mechanism. In this regard, prior art plastic food containers use a strap around the sealed container or a label that extends over a portion of the sealed container and a portion of the contact area of the base edge for proof of tamper proof. Opening the container (that is, separating the lid from the base) requires tearing the strap or label. The torn tape or label provides proof that the sealed container is widened or first opened. A problem associated with this method of tamper proof is that the container requires the object to be separated from the container itself to produce a tamper proof. In addition to this, the production container defensive certificate 201033089 clarifies that an additional step is required to apply the tape or label after sealing the container. In order to cope with the above problems, container manufacturers have designed containers with the characteristics of the whole person = proof of tamper proof. Typically, these containers contain a lid: the frame edge t is attached to a base. The lid is sealed to the base by stacking the frame edges of the lid on the base: the side. The lid and the base each have an interlocking element located at or near the edge of the lid frame and the base frame. The lid or base ten interlocking mechanism is conventionally located on the ear' flange extending from the rim of the lid or base. One of the ears—or both—is attached to its individual frame by a plastic-fragile section. When the cover or base is positioned in a sealed configuration, the interlocking elements at or near the edge of the cover frame and the base frame are engaged and locked. In order to open a sealed container, one or both of the ears, the weak section must be torn to release the ear from the volume. Because of the interlocking, the sealing element is located on the ear, and tearing the one or more ears away from the container will invalidate the locking mechanism. The torn ear provides proof that the container has been opened. The disadvantage of prior art food wares that rely on interlocking elements located on an outer fragile ear is that the interlocking ear can be cut from the container in a manner that leaves no traces using scissors or other cutting tools, so that the original Any indication of the barn with the tamper proof agency is removed. Another disadvantage involves the need to make extra plastic for deafness. A further disadvantage associated with prior art tamper proof food containers is the sealed configuration of the container rim. As noted, in prior art containers, a frame edge (typically a cover frame edge) is superposed on the other frame edge (typically the base frame edge) such that at least one of the frame edge edges - The system is exposed. Use this form of seal in a plastic container. 201033089 Place and construction 'by inserting a fine object into the edge of the exposed frame where the crying, % valley is away from the proof of tamper proof, the cover and some I ° The cockroach can be partially smashed open to the side of the box. A plastic food container that can be closed again. In this way, the tampering or smashing of the surface under the tamper-evident instruction is partially falsified. Therefore, in this technology, it is necessary for the final consumer to operate; the tamper proof and the confrontation that can be used as 鲳& Take a combination of defensive measures; and use the least amount of village material to manufacture. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION VI. The present invention satisfies the needs in the art and provides an aesthetically pleasing food that is easy to use and at the same time has proof of tamper protection and tamper proof. In this regard, the food container of the present invention comprises a plastic food container having a lid for sealingly disposed with a base. The cover has a peripheral flange and the peripheral flange includes a portion of the flange portion that is partially formed integrally. The base has a - layer. The cymbal and the rim and a side wall extending between the bottom portion and the rim. The frame side of the base has a lower cut. The undercut portion is configured to receive the peripheral flange and flange ears when the cover and base are in a sealed configuration. The flanged ear includes a lower cut release mechanism that allows a portion of the flanged ear to be grasped and pulled. Pulling the flange ears pulls its edges out of the undercut of the base frame. The undercut releasing mechanism is formed such that the flange ears are required to be pulled out from the undercut portion to deform the flange ears. The raised/flanged ears provide a visual proof that the sealed container has been opened for the first time. More particularly, the container includes a cover 201033089 for sealing configuration with a base. The cover includes an upper portion, a lower surface, and a bezel that engages the frame edge of the base. In the preferred embodiment and from a cross-sectional point of view, the upper portion of the cover includes one or more horizontal and vertical surfaces that extend to form the lowered surface. The descending surface extends to form a horizontal transition zone. This section descends to form a multi-segment frame structure. The frame structure includes an inner wall portion that is vertically positioned on the body. The inner wall portion is bent outward (peripherally) to form a peripheral protruding section which defines a point at the bottom of the cover.

In this regard, the lid rim structure includes a - vertical seal section that extends upwardly from the surrounding projection section to the surrounding flange. The lid vertical sealing section is turned inward (toward the interior of the container). In addition to having a complementary rim with a multi-segment structure, the base includes a bottom portion and a side wall that extends between the bottom layer portion and the frame edge. The base frame structure includes a lower cut portion that is used to engage the peripheral flange of the cover. The method of retaining the lid by the undercut of the base frame provides protection against contact with the contents of the sealed container by tampering the lid from the base. The peripheral flange of the cover contains at least one flanged ear portion that is integrated with the topography. When the container is (four), the oblong flange portion is also secured by the lower cut of the base frame. & The flange ear portion a is flat and accommodates a lower cut release mechanism, and the lower cut (four) release mechanism allows (4) the extracted flange ears to be withdrawn from the base frame. Preferably, the undercut release mechanism is a releasable gripping ear that is integrally formed in the flanged ear via a frangible or scored frangible profile. Shaw perforation or engraving 7 201033089 defines the shape of the grip ear. The container is opened by providing - also oil along the 15 'features' required ® two-step procedure. First, it must be v* to apply a separation force to the gripper's ear to cause a break in its fragile contour, and this gripping ear is bounced from the flanged ear to a position that can be held by the thumb and forefinger. Widely plus 置±, the currently released gripping ears π are pulled toward the user', causing the engaged flange ears to roll inwardly and are released by the base frame structure. Third, the ridge is separated from the base frame structure. By placing the flange ears: and == the center of the container (four), the cover + can be removed from the base. & The last pulling action is separated from the base frame by the flange around the lid. The undercut release mechanism is further adapted to deform when the ear release force is applied to the undercut release mechanism. This variant provides a visual proof that the container has been opened for the first time. In this aspect, the flanged ear includes a break line that preferably emanate from a frangible contour defining the gripping ear. This line of breakage is designed to break when the pulling action acts on the gripping ears to draw the flange ears from the undercut of the base frame side. The rupture of this break line provides a visual proof that the gripping ears have been used to open the container. In addition to this, the undercut release mechanism is designed such that upon rupture of the break line, the pulling force applied to the gripping ears or flange ears will cause further visible deformation of the flange ears from their original flat shape.

As shown in Figures 6 and 9, the sealing platform 35, the intermediate vertical section %, the protruding section 37, and the top vertical section 38 are formed in a lower cut of the rim structure 30_. When the container 10 is sealed, the flange 22 is dropped into the undercut portion, and the entire cover is held securely n. Once the container 1G is sealed in this manner, the edge 24 of the cover 2 is bounded by the frame 3 The undercut of the cymbal constitutes protection from the cleavage tool. Moreover, because there is no corresponding cover structure adjacent the base flange 42' the base flange 42 cannot be used as a split entry point. The lack of such points is in contrast to prior art containers having overlapping rims with exposed rim edges. The lid 11 further comprises an ancient /, flanged ear 6 有 having a tamper evident mechanism. The rim portion 60 constitutes an in-plane extending portion of the periphery f to be held by the undercut portion of the rim structure 3 〇 W 7 . The preferred embodiment container shown with only one flange is shown in the drawings. However, the container may be formed with a plurality of flanged ears. Figures 1A through 12 show a preferred embodiment of the ear 6'' with the tamper-evident feature. As shown in these figures, the flange ears 6 向外 extend outwardly from the flange 22 in the inner corner of the cover u or the outer section of the 11 201033089. The flanged ears 60 comprise integrally formed gripping ears 61' which are formed by a frangible profile. The fragile wheel can be formed by perforating, scoring or thinning the cover material. In the preferred embodiment, the frangible profile 62 is formed by perforations. The fragile rim 62 is preferably (four). The gripping ear portion 61 includes a pop-up tip portion _ = region 63. The pop-up tip 65 is fastened at a point on the flange ear (9) from the end of the flange edge ''. As shown in Fig. 7'Fig. 1 and Fig. u, the pressing portion 63 includes a ridge M to distinguish a visually and tactile depression point.凸缘 The flange ears 6〇 may include structural ribs 71 to strengthen the ears. The gripping ears 61 can likewise comprise such reinforcing ribs 72. The base member includes a partial platform extension 8〇 that is positioned, configured, and used to receive 0 from the sealing platform w: the table extension 8 so that the edge 24 is under the frame edge structure 3〇 Received protectively. The semi-defective sensation is connected to the frame side: the manner in which the platform 35 is constructed is connected to the inwardly-flooding projecting section 37 in turn. As is apparent, when the container is in the sealed configuration, the flange ears 6° are joined by the undercut structure of the side bezel 30 joined by the structure of the base frame 30 by the phase and β flanges 22. When the flange ears are engaged, the 24 j μ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = In the embodiment of the present invention, it is shown that: a lower cut release mechanism provides a tamper proof. In the preferred embodiment, the lower cut release mechanism includes a gripping ear 12 201033089 61 which is integrated by the fragile profile 62 Formed in the flange ear 6〇. When finger pressure is applied to one or more pressing zones of the gripping ears 61, the frangible profile 62 is broken such that the gripping ears 61 move in a vertical direction relative to the surface of the flanged ears 60. In the preferred embodiment, the pressing zone 63 of the gripping ear 61 is raised and the platform extension comprises a pocket 8i. The inclusion of these features enhances/vertically deflects and moves the gripping ears 61 relative to the horizontal plane of the flange ears 60 when pressure is applied to the gripping ears 61. Specifically, as indicated in the figure, by pressing the pressing portion 63 above the surface of the © flange ear 60, the pressing portion 63 is provided for moving the space downward. Likewise, the inclusion of the pockets 81 in the platform 80 enhances the degree of downward movement of the pressing zone 63. In the sealed configuration, the flange ears 6 are in overlapping contact with the platform extensions 80. σ ' This undercut release mechanism is developed as follows. Pressing the pressing portion 63 vertically downward causes the inside of the holding ear portion 61 to fall beyond the surface of the flange ear portion 6〇 and into the hole portion 81. When the pressing zone 63 is moved downward, the fragile profile 62 begins to rupture near the pressing zone. This initial rupture allows the gripping ears 61 to descend further relative to the flange ears 60. With the continuous downward pressure on the pressing zone [mu], the pop-up tip 65 of the gripping ear 61 is pulled away from the flanged ear 60 until it is completely separated from the flanged ear 60 along the frangible profile 62. Generally, once the frangible profile 62 is completely broken, the downward pressure exerted on the compression zone causes the pop-up tip 65 to rise beyond the surface of the flanged ear to the pop-up tip 65 that can be gripped by the user's thumb and forefinger point. In order to enhance the action of the pop-up tip 65, the gripping ear portion 61 includes a score line 67 as a deflection point when a downward pressure is applied to the pressing region 〇. 13 201033089 Further, the pocket 81 is preferably sized to create a position 80 such that when the container is sealed, the score 67 will be located above the pocket: end edge 75. The end edge 75 thus acts as a fulcrum for the abutment of the holding ear 6 when the ear is held. By the end edge 75 = line (1) when the downward magic is applied to the gripping ear 61, the holding ear 61 will be bent centrally along the score line 67, and the reinforcing pop-up tip 65^ acts. If applied to the holding ear 61 (4) force: 61 lowering: below the flange ear 6〇 or without causing the holding ear to bounce the tip 6 5 to reach the 彳 彳 &&; 逹 被 被 被 被At the point of residence, the gripping ears 61 can be pulled away from the flange ears 60 and into the grippable position by applying a pulling back force to the jaws 64. The main figure is not shown in Fig. 12 Φ, _. The holding ear 61 is attached to a grip, which is unfolded and can be used to pull the flange ear 6Q away from the frame edge 3g = = unfolded grip The holding ears are "caught and pulled toward the user. Pulling the holding ears 61 in a f manner causes the flange ears 60 to rise" and the edge 24 of the flange ears 60 points downwards and along the platform 8 frame The sides 纴椹m ▽ and vm are formed from the base edge, and the undercut of the Ό3〇 is formed) and toward the center of the container 1〇. Once the edge of the flange ear 60 is formed, the top portion of the portion is vertical... The lower frame 3 of the base frame edge 30 is cut from the 〇 + straight & ant 38, and the flanged ear portion 60 can be pulled away from the base frame side and is released by the base frame edge 30 & lower cut portion. And if the flange ear V=the frame edge 3〇 is pushed, the user can pull or the section from the frame edge 3. The base 25' causes the adjacent main flange 22 of the surrounding flange 22 to form a pull. The cover (4) is openably separated from the base 14 201033089 _ 25 as soon as the flange of the cover pulls away the undercut structure of the base pivot. The undercut of the present invention is released. The mechanism is used to distinguish the effect of the user merely causing the gripping ears 61 to separate from the initial portion of the flanged ears 60 to distinguish the opening of the container. As shown in Figure 7, the flanged ears 6〇 include - One or more further break lines 69, preferably emerging from the frangible profile 62, and directed toward the edge 24. The break line 69 can be formed by perforating, scoring or thinning the container material. The force on the flange ears 6 使得 that causes the edge 24 of the flange ears 60 to be pulled away from the undercut of the rim structure 3 亦 also causes the flange ears 6 进一步 to be further visibly ruptured along the line of weakness 69 The rupture of the break line 69 provides evidence that the undercut release mechanism has been used and the container has been opened. Further, once the break line breaks, for subsequent gripping of the ear 61 or flange ear 60 The application will cause the flange ear 6G to twist and deform from its initial planar shape. The variant (4) of this deformation is shown in Figure 13.
