Multi-Layered Container

Abstract

A multi-layered container for containing content adapted to be consumed. The multi-layered container includes a first sheet positioned at a bottom of the multi-layered container and adapted to contain a first content. A second sheet stacked on top of the first sheet and adapted to contain a second content. An adhesive is applied to edges of the first sheet except to at least one non-adhesive edge of the first sheet. The at least one non-adhesive edge of the first sheet enables the second sheet to be peeled off. An upper surface of the first sheet is exposed for the first content to be placed when the second sheet is peeled off from the first sheet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multi-layered container for containing content adapted to be consumed, said multi-layered container comprising:
 a first sheet positioned at a bottom of said multi-layered container and adapted to contain a first content;   a second sheet stacked on top of said first sheet and adapted to contain a second content; and   an adhesive that is applied to edges of said first sheet except to at least one non-adhesive edge of said first sheet, wherein said at least one non-adhesive edge of said first sheet enables said second sheet to be peeled off, and wherein when said second sheet is peeled off from said first sheet, an upper surface of said first sheet is exposed for said first content to be placed thereon.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-layered container of  claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said first sheet is greater than a thickness of said second sheet. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-layered container of  claim 1 , further comprising a third sheet that is stacked above said second sheet. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-layered container of  claim 3 , wherein a thickness of said third sheet is equal to said thickness of said second sheet. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-layered container of  claim 3 , wherein upper surfaces of said first sheet, said second sheet, and said third sheet are coated with a coatable substance. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-layered container of  claim 5 , wherein a lower surface of said first sheet is coated with said coatable substance. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-layered container of  claim 3 , wherein said first sheet, said second sheet, and said third sheet comprise any of biodegradable and compostable materials. 
     
     
         8 . A multi-layered plate comprising a plurality of stacked sheets for containing content for consumption, said plurality of stacked sheets comprising:
 a bottom sheet positioned at a bottom of said multi-layered plate and adapted to contain a first content;   a top sheet positioned above said bottom sheet and adapted to contain a second content;   at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet and adapted to contain additional content; and   an adhesive applied to edges of (i) said bottom sheet, (ii) said top sheet, and (iii) said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet except to at least one non-adhesive edge of (i) said bottom sheet and (ii) said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet, wherein said at least one non-adhesive edge of a sheet below said top sheet enables said top sheet to be peeled off, and wherein when said top sheet is peeled off from said sheet below said top sheet, an upper surface of said sheet below said top sheet is exposed.   
     
     
         9 . The multi-layered plate of  claim 8 , wherein said bottom sheet comprises an upper surface and a lower surface that are coated with a coatable substance, and wherein a thickness of said bottom sheet is greater than a thickness of said top sheet. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-layered plate of  claim 8 , wherein said top sheet and said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet comprises an upper surface that is coated with a coatable substance, and wherein a thickness of said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet is equal to said thickness of said top sheet. 
     
     
         11 . A method of manufacturing a multi-layered container for containing content, said method comprising:
 arranging a plurality of sheets in a stack, wherein said plurality of sheets comprises a top sheet, a bottom sheet, and at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet;   pressing said top sheet, said bottom sheet, and said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet together into a mold to form said multi-layered container; and   applying an adhesive to edges of (i) said bottom sheet, (ii) said top sheet, and (iii) said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet except to at least one non-adhesive edge of (i) said bottom sheet and (ii) said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said at least one non-adhesive edge of a sheet below said top sheet enables said top sheet to be peeled off when a second content is consumed, and wherein when said top sheet is peeled off from a sheet below said top sheet, an upper surface of said sheet below said top sheet is exposed for a first content to be placed thereon. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising coating an upper surface of said top sheet, said bottom sheet, and said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet with a coatable substance. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising coating a lower surface of said bottom sheet with said coatable substance. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a thickness of said bottom sheet is greater than a thickness of said top sheet. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a thickness of said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet is equal to said thickness of said top sheet. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said top sheet, said bottom sheet, and said at least one sheet stacked in between said top sheet and said bottom sheet comprise any of biodegradable and compostable materials. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said multi-layered container comprises any of a plate, a bowl, a platter, and a tumbler. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said multi-layered container comprises tableware. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said multi-layered container comprises cookware.
