Furthermore, the cutting away of the ma- -terialto form the windows or a y terial'ly decreases the weig package. i
The' openings. in the top and opposite tl of the sides oftheframe permit inspection lofthef contents at all times, 'through the outer transparent wrapper, and vthe wrapper itselt is maintained out ofcontact with the conframe, so that.it does :not absorb'moistur'e from the .contents and become discolored..
Itis importanttopr'ovide the display aperture in the top, j as well asin both.side's of .the container, particularly where cake .is
the commodity'in the package, as it enables a customer to' readily determine the exact nature-of the contents, for example, whether the cake is of multiplelayer form,-and also covering. The .bottom 6 'isv referably made solid, -not only'to afford a Hrm Vsupport for the tween such contents and the outer-transparent wrapping 5which would occur if the bottom 6 was provided with an aperture, due to the fact'that the weight of the contents of the box would press downwardly and contact withvthe transparent covering. The factth'atby the invention direct contact between the contents of the package and the-outer transparent wrapper is prevented is a feature of considerable importance. If the contents are of a nature containing mois- `sticky, direct contact with the wrapper is liable lto produce stains on the wrapper. will mar the appearance .of the pack-` Again, if a cake coated with a. relatively soft, icin composition is packaged so. that there is irect contaetbetween the wrapper and coating, portions of the latterv will-be dislodged .from the cake body when the package `issopened and such bodyrv unwrap ed, thus marring the. appearance of the pro uct. Among the very, important advantages of the' present invention may be mentioned the fact that by'ita cake baker is enab edy to package coated cake immediately a er` it as been baked and iced without waiting an appreciable length of time for-the coating or icing to artially jharden. This is Idue to the fact, -t the frame' withlnv which the cake is posi- .nes-7,653

. `It will be seen 'that a frame of sufficient rigidity will be'- provi'ded to support the contents-of Ithethe character ofthe top or `side coating/ or contents, but also prevent direct contact be'-v ing at, as shown in the drawings,`
greater depth than 4the thickness o the cake wherebyv direct lcontact between the cake covering or coating and 4frame'or wrapy thev invention, therefore, a'. very'material Savin in.' time in the baking and packaging of ca e is effected and consequent reduction in the expense made possible;
The .exterior transparent wrappermay` be htly so sealed that in order to obtain accesslto the package it must necessarily be broken, and, therefore, consumer and producer are protected against ythat the blank 'is'so formedv package, and yet, when the transparent possible Substitution of other wrapper is placed about the frame and contents to'finish andseal the packagethe contents m ay be `readily inspected and the advertising legends and..printed matter 'upon ,the'frame will be visible'.`
s at I'claim is:-
il' A' merchantablefpackage compris'ngal container having bottom, top, 4and side walls, a body'd cake within said container, and a transparent wrapper completely surrounding the container, the top and a side wall of the container having apertures permittingl inspection of two'surfaces ofi the cake with- .out openingrthe wrapper or breaking it.
2. A merchantable package comprising a' body of cake, a frame surrounding said body and havingbottom, top, end, and side walls,
.the end' and sidewalls being of greater height than the thickness ofthe body, wheres4 by the top ofthe frame will-be spaced from` the cake supported on through which the cakejlmay be 'viewed beformedin the top and one' ofthe side walls ofthe frame, and a transparent wrapthe botto'm, apertures' per sealed exteriorly about the frame and l extending-over-said apertures.
3. A merchantable packagev com carton-like frame formed from a b ank' bent to provide bottom, top, end, and side walls, thegtopand'opposite side walls each having an apertureformed therein, a body of cake within said frame, and a transparent'wrapper enclosing the frame, the frame holding the-wrapper from direct contact with 'the cake whilel permitting 'inspection thereof from two directions, whereby the character of the cakeand 4the 'nature of the exterior coating thereof, if any, may be ascertained without openmg' or breaking the wrapper. s In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand. t,
