Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is related to a container for food comprising a hole which forms part of the container, adapted to hold a cup. In this manner, when a single container contains both a cup and food, the consumer can carry everything with just one hand or arm.
  • the object of the present invention overcomes these problems by providing a container for food comprising a hole, which forms part of the container, adapted to hold a cup.
  • the present invention solves the aforementioned problems having the advantage of providing a container for food with which food and drink can be transported together in one single hand or arm, providing greater comfort to the user.
  • the present invention is related to a drink holder and food container comprising:
  • bearing surfaces comprises a hole, which forms part of the container in which a cup can be inserted, such that when a single container contains both a cup and food, the consumer can carry everything with just one hand or arm.
  • the hole is centered in the bearing surface, and said hole may be circular or polygonal, complementary to the shape of the cup.
  • the container can be held by holding the cup.
  • the hole may be positioned at any offset position with respect to the bearing surfaces and may have different geometrical shapes to fit the shape of the cup.
  • the container may have any geometrical shape and be made of any material, the preferred embodiment being cardboard.
  • FIG. 1 corresponding to the first embodiment, where the food container of the invention can be seen provided with a cup inserted into the hole in the lower portion of the container, where said hole is defined by breaking the closed punching line and where a spare sheet attached at one end can be seen.
  • FIG. 2 corresponding to the second embodiment shows the food container of the previous figure, but in this case the hole is covered by a sheet of transparent paper which has been removed to insert the cup and therefore not shown in the figure.
  • FIG. 3 corresponds to the third embodiment wherein the hole has been opened during the manufacturing process at the factory.
  • An image of an application of the invention wherein a hand holding the cup without having to hold the upper portion also with the other hand is shown.
  • the object of the present invention is related to a container ( 1 ) for food comprising a hole ( 6 ) which forms part of the container ( 1 ), adapted to hold a cup ( 5 ).
  • a container ( 1 ) for food comprising a hole ( 6 ) which forms part of the container ( 1 ), adapted to hold a cup ( 5 ).
  • the drink holder and food container ( 1 ) comprises an upper portion ( 2 ) and a lower portion ( 3 ), wherein each portion ( 2 , 3 ) is formed by a set of side walls ( 8 ) and a bearing surface ( 9 ) and wherein any of the two portions ( 2 , 3 ) comprise a hole ( 6 ) in which a cup ( 5 ) can be inserted.
  • the container ( 1 ) for food may contain chips, burgers and other fast foods to eat in the restaurant or to take away.
  • the hole ( 6 ) in a preferred embodiment is centered with respect to any of the bearing surfaces ( 9 ) of the two portions, upper or lower ( 2 , 3 ), such that the cup ( 5 ) does not cause the assembly to lose stability.
  • the hole ( 6 ) may be positioned at any offset position with respect to the bearing surfaces ( 9 ).
  • Said hole ( 6 ) may have different geometrical shapes to fit the shape of the cup ( 5 ), the preferred embodiment being circular.
  • the hole ( 6 ) is defined by a closed punching line ( 4 ).
  • the small portion of the container ( 1 ) that is delimited within the closed punching line ( 4 ) is called spare sheet ( 7 ).
  • the option of leaving the spare sheet ( 7 ) hanging or removing it entirely is up to the preferences of the consumer.
  • FIG. 1 shows the spare sheet ( 7 ) hanging at one end.
  • the breakage of the closed punching line ( 4 ) is carried out by finger pressure in an easy and simple manner.
  • the remaining hole ( 6 ) has sufficient capacity to safely hold the weight of a cup ( 5 ) with ice or other article, such as the case of bottles, etc.
  • the spare sheet ( 7 ) can be left without breaking in its initial configuration, that is, forming part of the container ( 1 ).
  • the hole ( 6 ) is covered by a sheet of transparent paper, which may be affixed to the container ( 1 ) or it may be simply broken such that both configurations allow said sheet of transparent paper to be easily removed.
  • the hole ( 6 ) may be covered by a sheet of any other material.
  • the hole ( 6 ) is opened during the manufacturing process at the factory.
  • FIG. 3 corresponding to the third embodiment wherein the hole ( 6 ) is opened during the manufacturing process at the factory, shows how the user holds the plastic cup ( 5 ) with the hand, which is usually the heaviest portion, without having to also hold the upper portion ( 2 ) of the container.
  • the container ( 1 ) is made of cardboard and is folded at the corners, thereby having the typical construction of this type of containers ( 1 ).
  • the container ( 1 ) may have any geometrical shape and may be made of any material.
  • the bearing surface ( 9 ) may have different geometric shapes, the preferred embodiment being flat.
  • the drinks that are purchased for consumption together with the food are usually sold in cups ( 5 ) of frustoconical shape. Moreover, since the cups ( 5 ) for this kind of fast food are often provided with a straw, this would allow drinking without tipping the contents out.
