Abstract

A separator for stacking layers of cake includes a base plate that comprises an attachment means such as a rail or track. A plurality of planar supports mates with the attachment means to provide a stable structure for stacking layers of cakes. Planar supports arranged between the upper most layers may be ornamentally designed with décor that includes an attachment button for mating with an opening in a planar support.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cake tier separator device that structurally supports a multi-layered cake, said cake tier separator device comprising:
 a plate upon which a layer of cake is arranged, said plate comprising an attachment means that includes at least one pair of tracks disposed on one side of the plate: and,   a plurality of planar supports, each planar support having an upper end and a lower end, said upper end including a rail that slides into the at least one pair of tracks disposed on one side of the plate to affix the planar support to the plate.   
   
   
       2 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of planar supports is four tracks. 
   
   
       3 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said one pair of tracks are curved. 
   
   
       4 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein each planar support is arcuate when viewed from an end. 
   
   
       5 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  includes an attachment means that includes a t-shaped recess formed by the at least one pair of tracks. 
   
   
       6 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein the at least one pair of tracks are mirror images of one another and facing each other. 
   
   
       7 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  further comprising a second cake tier separator. 
   
   
       8 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 7  further comprising a third cake tier separator. 
   
   
       9 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said plate comprises plastic. 
   
   
       10 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said planar supports comprise plastic. 
   
   
       11 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said rail that slides into the at least one pair of tracks disposed on one side of the plate to affix the planar support to the plate is t-shaped when viewed in cross section. 
   
   
       12 . A cake tier separator device that structurally supports a multi-layered cake, said cake tier separator device comprising:
 a plate upon which a layer of cake is arranged, said plate comprising a plurality of attachment means, each attachment means including a pair of tracks disposed on a bottom side of the plate: and,   a plurality of planar supports, each planar support having an upper end and a lower end, said upper end including a rail that slides into one of the plurality of attachment means.   
   
   
       13 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 12  wherein said plurality of planar supports is four tracks. 
   
   
       14 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said one pair of tracks are curved. 
   
   
       15 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein each planar support is arcuate when viewed from an end. 
   
   
       16 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  includes an attachment means that includes a t-shaped recess formed by the at least one pair of tracks. 
   
   
       17 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein the at least one pair of tracks are mirror images of one another and facing each other. 
   
   
       18 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said plate comprises plastic. 
   
   
       19 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said planar supports comprise plastic. 
   
   
       20 . The cake tier separator device of  claim 1  wherein said rail that slides into the at least one pair of tracks disposed on one side of the plate to affix the planar support to the plate is t-shaped when viewed in cross section.
