Abstract

A wedge shaped sandwich pack is formed from a folded card blank having a rectangular base (11) with a window (27, 28) to reveal the contents of the pack and triangular shaped end walls (14) hinged by folds (12) to the elongate sides of the base. Each end wall has side walls (16, 17; 21, 22) connected by folds along the convergent edges thereof, the side walls (16, 17) of one end wall (14) being attached at the apex of the end wall to form a lid for the container and the side walls (21, 22) of the other end wall (14) having end flaps (25, 26) along the edges adjacent the base to fold inwardly over the base to support the ends of the sandwich unit in the container.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 1 March 2002 (01.03.02); original claims 1-16 amended (3 pages)]
1. A one-piece cardboard blank for forming a prism shaped pack to receive and hold a stack of diagonally cut sandwiches comprising a rectangular base wall having triangular end walls hinged at their respective bases by fold lines to opposing edges of the base wall, each triangle having rectangular side walls hinged by fold lines to the sides of the triangles and the side walls of each triangle being secured together at the apices of the triangles so that when the triangular side walls are folded up with respect to the base to lie parallel to one another the side walls of the respective triangles come together to form an enclosure with the end walls, a fold line being formed in the blank between the respective apices of the triangles about which the blank is symmetrical to allow the blank to be folded flat in two for convenient stacking prior to use.
2. A blank as claimed in claim 1, wherein the side walls of one of the triangular end walls are relatively deep to form an enclosure for the sandwich stack and the side walls of the other end wall are relatively shallow to form a lid for the enclosure.
3. A blank as claimed in claim 2, wherein the side walls of said one end wall have flaps h'inged by fold lines to the side walls to be tucked under the base and over lie the ends of the sandwich stack in the enclosure.
4. A pack as claimed in any claims 1 to 3, wherein a window is formed in said rectangular base wall for viewing the contents of the pack. 14
5. A pack as claimed in claim 4, wherein the window extends from the base into the adjacent portions of the triangular side walls.
6. A pack as claimed in claim 4 or claim 5, wherein the window is closed by a transparent film secured to the blank.
7. A wedge shaped sandwich pack comprising a folded card blank as claimed in claim 1, having a rectangular base formed with a window to reveal the contents of the pack, triangular shaped end walls hinged by folds to the elongate sides of the base, each end wall having side walls connected by folds along the convergent edges thereof, the side walls of one end wall being attached- at the apex of the end wall to form a lid for the container and the side walls of the other end wall having end flaps along the edges adjacent the base to fold inwardly over the base to support the ends of the sandwich unit in the container.
8. A sandwich pack as claimed in claim 7, wherein a sheet of transparent film is mounted in the window in the base of the blank to provide protection for the contents of the pack whilst allowing the contents to be viewed.
9. A sandwich pack as claimed in claim 7 or claim 8, wherein the window extends from the base into adjacent regions of the triangular end walls to permit the contents of the pack to be viewed from a direction facing the base and from either side of the pack.
10. A sandwich pack as claimed in any of claims 7 to 9, wherein the side walls of the lid are connected at the apex of the triangular end wall on which they are 15
formed by a flap on one of the side walls which is adhered to the inside face of the other side wall to hold the side walls at right angles to the triangular end wall on which they are formed.
11. A sandwich pack as claimed in any of claims 7 to 10, wherein the side walls of the lid taper towards the ends of the side wall adjacent the rectangular base.
12. A sandwich pack as claimed in claim 11 wherein the side walls taper to zero at the base.
13. A sandwich pack as claimed in any of claims 7 to 12, wherein the side walls on the other triangular end wall are secured together at the apex of the triangular wall.
14. A sandwich pack as claimed in claim 13, wherein the side walls on said other triangular end wall are secured together by a flap on one of the side walls which is adhered to the other side wall at the apex of the end wall to hold the side wall for extending at right angles to the end wall.
15. A sandwich pack as claimed in any of claims 7 to 11, wherein the side walls on said other triangular end wall of the blank abut one another at the apex of the end wall without any fixing.
16. A sandwich pack as claimed in any of claims, 7 to 15, wherein the side walls on said other triangular end wall taper towards the apex of the triangular end wall to form a tapered pack.
