Shell shaped synthetic food carrier

Abstract

An artificially created solid synthetic food carrier formed at least in the shape of a clamshell, one half of a two-shell clam. The clamshell used to carry food products for storing, serving and presenting the food. The formed clamshell being resistant to cold and heat permitting the clamshell to carry food stuff taken from a cold environment such as a refrigerator to the heated environment such as an oven or stove. The solid artificial clamshell also adapted to withstand freezing temperatures for extended duration. The artificial clamshell fabricated from at least calcium carbonate, nylon, glass fibers and color additives. The food carrier adapted to contain within at least food products such as stuffed clam, stuffed oyster, stuffed quahog, and any other foodstuff the food carrier can contain.

1 . A solid synthetic food carrier comprising; 
 a clamshell shaped member, the clamshell shaped member having a varying convex shape, the clamshell shaped member having in inner surface and an outer surface, the clamshell shaped member having an edge that continues around the varying circumference shape of the clamshell, the clamshell shaped member containing at least a formable synthetic material.    
   
   
       2 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the synthetic material is at least, nylon, calcium carbonate, glass fibers, and color concentrates.  
   
   
       3 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the forming process to form the convex shape is injection molding.  
   
   
       4 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the inner concave surface of the clam shell is smooth.  
   
   
       5 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the outer surface of the clam shell comprising a plurality of annular grooves having varying curvatures.  
   
   
       6 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the shell shaped member includes a plurality of colors.  
   
   
       7 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the shell shaped member includes lighter colors and darker colors along the edge of the clam shell  
   
   
       8 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the shell shaped member is substantially of a constant thickness cross section.  
   
   
       9 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the shell shaped member is substantially similar to the shape of a natural clamshell.  
   
   
       10 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the shell shaped member is suitable for carrying food product.  
   
   
       11 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the shell shaped member is exposed to cold temperatures with out damage.  
   
   
       11 . The solid synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the shell shaped member is exposed to hot temperatures with out damage.  
   
   
       12 . The synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the carrier having a left half and a right half whereby the two half's can be placed together forming an enclosure.  
   
   
       13 . The synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the carrier having a left half and a right half forming an enclosure enclosing a food product within.  
   
   
       14 . The synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the carrier having a plurality of colors.  
   
   
       13 . The synthetic food carrier of  claim 1  wherein the carrier is in the shape of a natural scallop shell.
