Device to Form a Box Lid Stanchion

Abstract

A device that can be fixed to the underside of a container cover that is compressed or flattened against said container cover while not in use but is formed into a rigid support stanchion extending from the underside of said container cover to the top surface of the product that is inside of the container when the container cover is placed over the product and thus preventing said container cover from collapsing into the contents held in said container and further substantially reducing or eliminating any damage that the container cover causes when it touches the product in the container.

What is claimed as invention is: 
     
         1 . A stanchion mounted on a container cover wherein said stanchion is mounted on said container cover in an unassembled configuration and wherein said stanchion is assembled into a rigid structure on said container cover and wherein a product such as a pizza is placed in said container with said cover and wherein said cover is closed over said product and wherein said stanchion prevents said cover from collapsing onto said product thereby greatly reducing or essentially preventing and damage to said product. 
     
     
         2 . An unassembled stanchion mounted on a container cover in an unassembled configuration wherein said unassembled stanchion has in combination:
 A box cover with a first side and a second side wherein a hollow space is formed between said first side and said second side; an insert tab formed on said unassembled stanchion wherein said insert tab is inserted into said hollow space thus suitably fixing said insert tab with said unassembled stanchion to said container cover and wherein said unassembled stanchion has a first end, a second end, a third end, a fourth end and a fifth end with a first bend line, a second bend line, a third bend line, a fourth bend line, a fifth bend line, a lock slot is formed in the fifth end; and wherein said first bend line is bent to form a corner between the first end and the second end and said second bend line is bent to form a corner between said second end and said third end and said third bend line is bent to form a corner between said third end and said fourth end and said fourth bend line is bent to form a corner between said fourth end and said fifth end and said fifth bend line is bent to form a corner between said assembly tab and said lock nib and wherein said assembly tab is further pushed through said lock slot further locking said lock nib into said lock slot with said lock nib thereby forming a stanching and wherein said lock nib is thrust into said hollow space formed in said container cover wherein said stanchion is suitably fixed to said container cover and wherein said stanchion further prevents said container cover from collapsing onto said contents of said container.   
     
     
         3 . A stanchion mounted on a container cover in an unassembled configuration where in said stanchion is shipped fixed to said container cover with said container and is assembled with said container cover just prior to placing contents such as a pizza into said container and said stanchion has in combination, a container cover with a first side and a second side wherein at least a first slot and a second slot are formed essentially near the center of said container cover and said slots extend from said first side to said second side of container cover; an unassembled stanchion with a first end, a second end, a third end and a fourth end, a first bend line, a second bend line and a third bend line and wherein said first bend line is bent forming said first end and said second bend line is bent forming said second end and said third end and wherein said third bend line is bent forming said fourth end and said fourth end is suitably fixed to said container cover wherein said stanchion is suitably formed and said first nib and said second nib are inserted into said slot formed in said container cover and wherein said stanchion is suitably fixed to said container cover thereby forming a rigid stanchion that will prevent said container cover from collapsing onto the contents of the container. 
     
     
         4 . The stanchion of  claim 3  wherein said fourth end of stanchion is fixed to said container cover with adhesive. 
     
     
         5 . The stanchion of  claim 3  wherein said fourth end of said stanchion is fixed to said container cover with a staple. 
     
     
         6 . The stanchion of  claim 2  wherein said insert tab is fixed to said lock slot with adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The stanchion of  claim 2  wherein said insert tab is fixed to said lock slot with a staple.
