Packaging convertible to a cone-shaped container with removable lamina

Abstract

Packaging which has at least one lamina removable from the packaging and wherein said lamina is also convertible to a cone having retention means that ensure the maintenance of the adopted shape. The lamina is a deformable lamina, which may be of any material, but preferably plastics and the like, and furthermore, has a means of retention for ensuring the maintenance of the adopted shape as a cone. The means of retention may be a flap and a tab which fits into a grove or a slit for that purpose. The cone obtained from the removable lamina of the container allows either products from the container/packaging itself, or from another place to be held. This facilitates their consumption in a simple manner, because it allows one hand to hold the cone while the other hand takes the food contained therein.
