The invention relates toa methodiofas-- semb-l-ing 4 edible articles, such asl dates, tiges,` bonbons, and like sticky articles intov marketable package, and the linvention `also relates to the packageas an artic-le of .inanuf-acture suitable for store display `andfor table service. o A
The primary Iobject o-f the invention is to provide a simple, .easily practiced method for packaging sticky edible articles, and which method will feature economy in labor and amount of material used.
Another object of the invention is to provide a package of dates or the like which will be attractive as a table dish and which will permit the removal of the dates one at a time in serving the same, without materially uncovering or unnecessarily exposing or mutilating the remaining dates in the package. h
Broadly, I attain these objects by assembling dates into a row, positioning the row in a iieXible paperlike cup, surrounding the side of the cup with an endless row of dates to form a single layer, with their upper ends exposed, positioning the layer so formed in a second similar cup and repeating the addition of rows of dates until the'desiredv sizev and shape of package is attained. Incidental to this assembling the sides and bottoms of the cups will adhere to the dates due to the adhesive effect of their fruit sugars, thus causing the dates to form a unitary package even where the cups themselves are not secured to each other. A cover sheet is positioned on top of the layer and the package thus formed is positioned in a suitable carton.
Considering the article feature of the disclosure, an object of the'invention is to provide a simple, easily constructed paper or paper-like package from which the individual dates may be removed, after tearing ofi' the top cover sheet and without further ne* cessity of tearing the package or handling sticky or messy paper.
Still another object of the article feature offthedisclos'ure is to provide a simple package ofthe'typ'e outlined, which is susceptible )of being formed into different shapes and sizes so as toit in conventional forms of cartons.
Variousother features andr advantages of tjhe invention will be in part obvious from an inspection ofthe accompanying drawings and in part will be more fully set forth in the following particular'description of one form' ofunechanismembodyingm'y inven-` tion, and the invention also `consist'sin certain new and novel 'features of construction and combination of4 parts hereinafter set forth Vand claimed.`
In .the accompanying drawings Figure l is a plan viewlookingdown on `preerred embodiment yof the invention;
Figure '2 is a reduced perspective View "of the package shown in Figure 1 and with some of the dates removed; and
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional View taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 1.
In the drawings there is shown a package of dates comprising an inner row A contained in an open top elongated cup 10 having an upstanding continuous side 11 surrounding the innermost row of dates. A second endless' row B of dates encircles the side 11 so that the side forms an endless partition between the rows of dates thus separating the rows. A cup 12 of the necessary larger area to accommodate the circle row B surrounds the same and the sides 13 of the cup .12 forms another concentrically disposed partition. Any number of additional rows may be added to form a flat layer of dates and for an illustration of one such additional row reference is made to the outer row C in the drawings. The layer including the rows A, 13,-@ and cups 10, and 12 are contained in an outer cup 11i which includes a bottom 15 and a continuous side 16 integra-l with the bottom. The package may include a cover sheet 17 and al bottom sheet or dily 18.
It is suggested that the cups be free of each other, but are preferably stuck together with glue, in which case the bottoms of the inner cups may be cut away to vminimize extra thickness of material in the bottom of the' package.
The cups are each preferably made of a single sheet Vof flexible paper such as wax paper or colored glasseine, and are preferably die-stamped to give a lacelikedecora` tive pattern. They may be crinkled or pleated along the sides so as to cause the Sides to extend approximately at right angles to each other and otherwise to engage and closely adhere to the sides of the dates.
In dispensing the dates from the illustrated package, it is merely necessary to bend down a part of the outermost side or partition thus exposing one or more of the dates in the outermost layer. One oli' the exposed dates is removed by engaging its upper edge and pulling it away from the adjacent dates and the bent down side or partition is then turned back in place or left in its bent down position to facilitate access to the next adjacent date in the row. `When all of the dates have been removed from the outermost row its outer portion Will be opened out, laying flat on the dish and by bending down the next partition access is similarly pro-vided to the next adjacent inner row of dates, and so on until all of the dates in the package are removed.
Until the last date is eaten and the -whole lot of paper is to be thrown away, there are no stray or loose pieces of paper laying about. To the last the paper remains o-n the plate about the dates protecting them on all sides, except on one end and not in the way to interfere with their removal from the package.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
l. A package for more than two parallel rows of articles intended to be separated one at a time from the package, said package comprising a plurality of open top cups, disposed one within the other in telescoping relation, each succeeding outer cup having a greater area when considered in plan than the next adjacent inner cup thereby to provide a space between the sides of adjacent cups to accommodate an endless line of the Y articles and the innermost cup adapted to contain a single row of the article.
2. A device of the class described, comprising a plurality of paper-like, liat bottom cups telescoping one within the other and with the bottom of one resting on the bottom of another, the sides of said cups being spaced apart to provide article conltaining spaces therebetween.
Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 20th day of January, A. D. 1922.
KARL G. KARSTEN.
