Abstract

An enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food, made of a relatively hard laminate material, such as a plastic paper card in both sides. A series of cuts and creases form a pyramidal torso box with four upper closing brims. Two of the brims are folded over one another, with the other two likewise folded over one another. The brims comprise edges which present a crease and a tip in hook, respectively, corresponding to complete the closing of the pyramidal box. In addition, two equal triangular-shaped brims are formed in two opposite sides of the box, also assisting in completing the box configuration. In the preferred embodiment, the triangular brims comprise free edges folded by a vertical cut, so that such edges are juxtaposed when the two brims are lifted against the corresponding lateral wall of the box. At such point, each brim receives a soldering line or a thermo-soldered line along the side and upper edges thereof, creating a tight and secure closure and seal of such area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food manufactured of a substantially hard laminate material, comprising: 
 a plurality of cuts and creases, forming a generally pyramidal torso box, comprising a generally square bottom base and a generally square top base, with the dimension of the bottom base slightly smaller than dimension of the top base;    the assembly further comprising four upper closing brims, two of the brims folded over one another, with the remaining two brims folded over one another;    a plurality of superposed edges each comprise a tier and a tip in a hook ( 5 ), corresponding to allow for effective closure of the pyramidal box;    two opposing sides of the box comprising two additional brims which form equal triangles, allowing for closure and the pyramidal box and completion of the structure.    
     
     
         2 . The enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food as described in  claim 1 , wherein each of the brims comprise an upper soldering line, and free tips of the brims are not folded by vertical cuts.  
     
     
         3 . The enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food as described in  claim 1 , wherein a soldering line is located along an internal margin of a perimeter of the brims, independently from a geometric applied shape in the outline of the brims.  
     
     
         4 . The enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food as described in  claim 1 , wherein tips of brims are separated from one another and generally rounded, with the tips further having adjacent sides attached by a soldering line.  
     
     
         5 . The enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food as described in  claim 1 , wherein the two soldering lines are matched together with a support punch, comprising a shape sufficient to allow the same to be settled inside the box, where two lateral faces form a support for opposite lateral walls soldered though a board with a heating circuit, following the general shape of each of the respective soldering lines.  
     
     
         6 . The enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food as described in  claim 1 , wherein packaging of hot or cold foods.  
     
     
         7 . The enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food as described in  claim 1 , wherein the packaging side walls feature two contrastive colors.  
     
     
         8 . The enhancement in disposable packaging for several types of food as described in  claim 1 , wherein the packaging is manufactured in small, medium, and large sizes.
