' ACAKE CONTAINER Filed May 21. 1941 l f n I+ j w Patented Sept. 8, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CAKE CONTAINER William E. Jason, Jr., Atherton, Calif. Y Application May 21, 1941, Serial No. 394,473
(Cl. 20G-44) 2 Claims.
This invention relates to a container for cakes and the like.
With the advent of the modern bakery and large scale baking operations, together with rapid transportation facilities for widespread daily distribution, cakes and like articles are wrapped and packaged directly in the bakery and shipped in this form for sale in bakery departments of various outlets such as grocery, chain stores, and delicatessens. The packaged goods may be transported several hundred miles before they are p-laced on display for sale. The package must, therefore, be one which will afford protection to the goods and, at the same time, be such that the goods are attractively displayed. In accordance with this invention I provide a relatively simple and inexpensive packaging device readily assembled with` a cake or like article, wrapped in a transparent wrapper such as Cellophane, for transportation, display and sale. The device of the present invention is suitable for use in modern packaging machinery, At the same time, it is relatively low in cost, a vital factor in mass production of inexpensive bakery goods items.
The invention includes other objects and features of advantage some of which, together with the foregoing, will appear hereinafter wherein the present preferred form of device of this invention is disclosed.
In the drawing accompanying and forming a part hereof, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating assembly of a device embodying this invention, together with a cake.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the assembled device while Figures 3 and 4 are elevations of different sides of the device.
Figure 5 is a plan view of a cut-out blank prior to assembly into the complete article.
The device of the present invention is preferably constructed of single face corrugated paper board. As is well known, this material is made up of a single at paper sheet to one side of which is secured a corrugated paper facing sheet. In accordance with this invention a at sheet 6 of corrugated paper is cut out, generally in the form shown in Figure 5, the corrugations running the length of the sheet. Opposite crease lines l, 8, 9 and I0 are pressed in the sheet defining a central portion II on which the goods are placed.
Crease lines 'l and 8 each separate end portions l2 and I3 from the central portion. These end portions each include crease lines I4 and I5 extending at right angles to crease lines 1 and 8 55 and respectively defining terminal end portions I6 and II foldable on each end. Each terminal end portion is severed from the sheet proper and includes a generally circular segmental aperture I8 therein for use in assembly as will presently appear.
For display purposes, the sides I9 and 20 are normally made relatively low in height as compared to the height of the ends I2 and I3, Thus, the ends support the transparent wrapper 28 spaced above an article such as cake 29, holding the transparent wrapper spaced from the icing or other decorative features on the cake, the transparent Wrapper being extended about the device and suitably joined together on the lower face of the central portion II, out of sight of the customer.
In practice the devices are made up in at sheets and are quickly made up for assembly and Wrapping in the packaging machine. 'I'he terminal end portions I6 and I1 engage the central portion II and hold ends I2 and I3 in a protecting position to a cake or other article in the container. With the transparent wrapper in place, the ends are held against outward movement. In this way a simple yet rugged, highly protective package is provided.
The corrugated paper facing can be made in contrasting colors to the packaged goods and to the covering so that an attractive, pleasing, yet rugged package is provided. Various modifications in size and shape are within the skill of those in the art and will be apparent to them to suit their individual needs.
I claim:
1. A device of the character described comprising a rectangular sheet of single face corrugated paper board, said board being cut to provide opposite ends foldable toward each other on a central intermediate portion of said board, said ends including laterally terminal end portions foldable on each end and apertured adjacent to said central portion, said ends extending outwardly away from said central portion for a substantial distance to stand above said central portion and protect goods thereon, said board being cut and creased to provide opposite sides foldable toward each other on said Central por.- tion, said sides extending outwardly away from said central portion for a distance relatively small as compared to said substantial distance of said ends, said sides including terminal ends insert-V able in and engageable with said apertured terminal end portions to retain said ends and sides so interengaged in folded position.
2. A device of the character described comprising a rectangular sheet of single face corrugated paper board, said board being cut and creased to provide opposite ends foldable toward each other on a central intermediate portion of said board, said ends each including laterally terminal end portions foldable on each end and having a portion thereof cut away between said terminal end and said central portion to provide an `aperture adjacent to said central portion, said board also being cut and creased to provide opposite sides foldable toward each other on said central portion and including terminal ends thereon, each end being foldable about crease lines to provide a side portion extending angularly across said central portion and an end thereonpinsertable in and engageable with said apertured terminal end portions to retain said f ends and sides so interengaged in folded position.
