Folding container that can be unfolded for application

Abstract

A container includes a base panel, a plurality of first folding panel, a plurality of second folding panel and a plurality of fixation folding panel. The first folding panels are folded up inwardly along respective first folding lines between the first folding panels and the base panel to form a peripheral wall and an accommodation chamber. Each second folding panel is folded up outwardly along one respective second folding line and overlapped on the peripheral wall that is formed of the first folding panels. Each fixation folding panel is folded up outwardly along a respective third folding line and overlapped on the peripheral wall that is formed of the first folding panels. Thus, the user can provide foods in the container for eating, and the container can be unfolded to form a plate to holding foods.

         2 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each said fixation folding panel is folded up outwardly along the respective said third folding line and overlapped on and secured to the outer side of said peripheral wall of the container. 
     
     
         3 . The container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said connection portions of said fixation folding panels are wrapped in respective adjacent said fixation folding panels to form a loop, creating said cup mouth. 
     
     
         4 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said second folding panels have a kite shape; said second folding line of each said second folding panel is the long diagonal of the kite shape. 
     
     
         5 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each said fixation folding panel, after having been folded up, is abutted against a top edge of one respective said overlapped portion. 
     
     
         6 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each said fixation folding panel comprises a receiving channel. 
     
     
         7 . The container as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said connection portion of each said fixation folding panel comprises a retaining block, said retaining block of said connection portion of one said fixation folding panel is engaged into said receiving channel of said connection portion of another said fixation folding panel so that said connection portions of said fixation folding panels are connected to one another to form a loop. 
     
     
         8 . The container as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said receiving channel comprises a relatively larger inner diameter of retaining portion; said retaining block of said connection portion of one said fixation folding panel is engaged in the said relatively larger inner diameter of retaining portion of said receiving channel of said connection portion of another said fixation folding panel. 
     
     
         9 . The container as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the outer diameter of said retaining block is larger than said receiving channel but smaller than said retaining portion. 
     
     
         10 . The container as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein when said fixation folding panel is folded up outwardly, the folded said fixation folding panel is abutted against a top edge of one respective said overlapped portion. 
     
     
         11 . A container, comprising:
 a base panel, a plurality of first folding panel, a plurality of second folding panel and a plurality of fixation folding panel, each said first folding panel having one short side thereof connected to said base panel and defining with said base panel a first folding line therebetween and an opposite short side thereof connected to one respective said fixation folding panel to form a third folding line therebetween, each said second folding panel being composed of a main folding panel portion and an auxiliary folding panel portion, each said first folding panel having one long side thereof connected to a long side of said main folding panel portion of one said second folding panel and an opposite long side thereof connected to a long side of said auxiliary folding panel portion of another said second folding panel, said second folding panels being respectively connected between each two adjacent said first folding panels so that said first folding panels and said second folding panels are alternatively arranged around said base panel, each said second folding panel comprising a second folding line located on the junction between said main folding panel portion and said auxiliary folding panel portion thereof and radially extended from the junction between two adjacent said first folding panels and said base panel;   wherein said first folding panels are inwardly folded up along the respective said first folding lines so that said first folding panels are abutted against one another to form a peripheral wall of the container where said peripheral wall and said base panel surround an accommodation chamber; each said second folding panel is folded up outwardly along the respective said second folding line to overlap the said auxiliary folding panel portion on the associating said main folding panel portion, and the overlapped said auxiliary folding panel portion mand said main folding panel portion are biased along the connected long side of the respective said first folding panel in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction and attached to an outer side of said peripheral wall.   
     
     
         12 . The container as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein each said fixation folding panel is folded up outwardly along the respective said third folding line to form a cup mouth flange, the said cup mouth flanges formed of said fixation folding panels being abutted against one another at an outer side of said peripheral wall to create a cup mouth of the container. 
     
     
         13 . The container as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the said cup mouth flange of each said fixation folding panel has a bottom side thereof abutted against a top edge of said auxiliary folding panel portion of one respective said second folding panel, and a distal end thereof stopped against one side of said main folding panel portion of one respective said second folding panel. 
     
     
         14 . The container as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein a first imaginary distance is defined between said cup mouth of the container and the distal end of said main folding panel portion of each said second folding panel and a second imaginary distance is defined between said cup mouth of the container and the distal end of said auxiliary folding panel portion of each said second folding panel where said first imaginary distance is shorter than said second imaginary distance. 
     
     
         15 . The container as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein a first imaginary distance is defined between said cup mouth of the container and the distal end of said main folding panel portion of each said second folding panel and a second imaginary distance is defined between said cup mouth of the container and the distal end of said auxiliary folding panel portion of each said second folding panel where said first imaginary distance is shorter than said second imaginary distance. 
     
     
         16 . The container as claimed in any one of  claims 15 , wherein the overall area of said main folding panel portion of each said second folding panel is larger than the overall area of said auxiliary folding panel portion.
