CONTAINER Filed June 9, 1931 2 Sheets-Sheet l Willard L. Srgzyder wmrwfmwf' @wmf/p2,
d naamw( Patented Nov. 21, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE This invention relates to the class of special receptacles and provides a container, the general object of which is to protect frangible objects, particularly food-studs such as cakes ,or pies from damage incidental to their handling, as Well as atmospheric deterioration such as staleness or the absorption of excess moisture.
A more specic object of the invention is to provide a container for cakes, pastry and the like, comprising telescoping members forming a chamber, including arigid base for supporting the object, a non-hygroscopic and preferably transparent cover, the telescoping margin of which forms a seal with the base and/or a similar stii protective cover tting the base in like sealing manner. y
Other objects-of the invention will appear as the following description of several practical' embodiments thereof proceeds. v
In the drawings in the several figures in which similar characters have been used to designate identical parts:
Figure l is a cross section through one form of the invention in which two cooperating elements are employed to form a casing or`cover for the object to be protected;
p Figure 2 is a similar view illustrating the use of three elements;
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of that form of the invention shown in Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the Cellophane cover;
. Figure 5 is a modified form of the invention adapted to receive a pie;
Y Figure 6 is a perspective view of the intermediate member used in that form of the invention illustrated in Figure 5;
Figure '7 is a perspective view of the base inem-` ber shown in Figure 5;
Figure 8 is a vertical section through another form of the invention in which no transparent member is employed; and
Figure 9 is a perspective view of the cover portion of the container shown in Figure 8.
Referring now in detail to the several figures,v
and rst adverting to that form of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 4, inclusive, the invention in its broadest form is essentially completed by the use of the two elements 1 and 2, one being a base member preferably pressed from a heavy gradeI of paper stock so as to be suiliciently rigid to support the object, for instance, a cake, placed thereupon. The member 1 is preferably formed with a flaring flange 3 upon which it rests. The top portion of the base member being unsupported, is relatively resilient and. serves to protect the cake from shock.
The element 2 is of dished shape sulciently deep to form a chamber enclosing the cake or other objects supported upon the base forming a cover therefor. Said cover telescopes at its margin over the flaring iiange 3 and for the purpose' of providing a sealed joint at this point the cover is provided with a stiffening ring 4 pasted or otherwise united to the cover and having the same ilare as that of the flange 3, so as to enable the cover 2 to fit wedgingly upon the ange of the base. It is preferred that the cover 2 be made of nonhygroscopic material, such for instance asfCellophone which has the added attribute of transparency so that the contents of the package is made visible. A container using only the base and cover members as above described is ideal for the display of goods in a store window or for the dispensing of the protected objectat soda fountains or in cafeteras. A cover of Cellophane or the like is hardly suiliciently stiif to protect the contained object for shipping or while being taken home from the store by a customer. It is therefore preferred to add the third element comprising a protective casing 5 of the same general shape as the Cellophane cover but slightly deeper so as to provide a slight clearance between said casing and the Cellophane" cover beneath. The casing preferably has the same nare as the flange 3 so as to nest snugly over the reinforcing ring 4 of the Cellophane.
It is usually preferred to make the flare of the telescoping portions of the several parts so slight as to constitute a sticking taper, so that when the several parts are nested the package can be held with impunity without risk of falling apart. However, if desired, either the Cellophane unit or the outer protective cover may be provided with metal lugs or ears 6. which may be bent over the ange of the base so as to secure the parts in a positive manner.
Figure 8 shows that the invention also contemplates using the base member and outer casing without the intermediate Cellophane protector.
In Figures 5, 6 and 7, a form of the invention is shown adapted for the reception and protection of a pie. The base member '7 is provided with the ared marginal ange 8 similar to the flange shown in the first described form, the central portion of the base being slightly dished so that the pie is in effect, suspended. This construction adds to the rigidity .of the base and 1,10
shaped cover member having a at its marginal portion correspondingly flared,
- the same direction,
reduces the force of shocks to the container which `might tend to shatter the pie. Althoughv a threeelement construction may be used with this base, similar to the construction described in connection with Figure 1, it is preferred to use a twoelement construction including the frusto-coniical outer casing 9, open at its upper as well as at its lower end and provided with a Cellophane or other transparent as well as hygroscopic shell 11. The marginal portions of said shell may extend between the flange of the base and the casing 9 and be clamped 'therebetween when the casing is wedgingly applied to the base. The Cellophane shell may if desired, be pasted to the inside of the casing. As an added protection against ruptureof the Cellophane shell, the top membrane thereof may terminate at a distance below the upper edge of the casing 9 as shown in Figure 5.
With this form of container, the pie is visible both through the Cellophane and the open end of the outer casing. At the same time it is suspended at a spaced distance from the planes embracing the upper and lower edges of the outer container whereby it is best protected from injury.
In Figures '8 and 9 is shown a form of the invention in which the base is not flared, the telescoping parts of the base 12 and cover 13 making a close cylindrical flt. In view oi.' the fact that the element of the sticking taper is not present in this form, it is probably indispensable that the cover should be provided with the lugs 6.
It will be understood that the above described modifications illustrate only a few of the specific forms in which the invention can be embodied and that the details of construction as shown and described are not to be construed as limitative in their effect upon the scope ofthe invention as claimed.
