PopHorn

Abstract

This invention is a convertible container with the primary objective of providing a commercially viable container for the vending/serving of popcorn or similar food products while easily being converted to a megaphone for voice amplification with promotional/advertising applications. The Pophorn is manufactured from a single sheet of printable yet grease and moisture resistant material, which is die cut and glued, with a rigid double layer spine over it's entire length for support as a function of a continuation of the complimentary handle of the container/megaphone.

1 . I claim my invention is a container of the characteristic described compromising a single sheet of flexible, printable, moisture and grease resistant material which may be die cut to roughly a triangular form, scored, and glued along attached flaps located on two adjacent sides to form substantially a cone like structure with a closed, pointed lower end and a wide open upper end, with an overall polygonal cross section sealed along a glued flap which is both structural in the closing of the invention but also practical in terms of serving as a handle.  
   
   
       2 . I claim that my invention is intended to store flat, then be easily expanded without assembly to serve as a food product container which may also be converted into a megaphone for voice amplification.  
   
   
       3 . I claim my invention enjoys a unique handle glue flap design which provides overall structural strength through a double thickness of material while allowing for the easy separation of the closed end tip cone from the main body by means of a unique notch design, without the need of tearing through a double layer of material.  
   
   
       4 . I claim my invention, being made of SBS Poly One Side material, is unique in providing a container of the nature described while allowing moisture and grease resistance with the added durability of the Poly material.  
   
   
       5 . I claim that because of the polygonal panels inherent to the nature of my inventions design coupled with the moisture and grease resistant nature of the SBS Poly One Side material, which enjoys a fully printable reverse side from that of the Poly side, and that with this printable side being oriented towards the exterior, the invention provides an exceptional indicia for advertising or promotions while being protected from being spoiled or stained by moisture or grease passing through the container from the inner surface.
