Peelable dinnerware

Abstract

A peelable plate can include a base, a plurality of top liner layers disposed adjacent to a top surface of the base and a plurality of bottom liner layers disposed adjacent to a bottom surface of the base. The plurality of top liner layers are arranged in manner that allow a top liner layer of the plurality of liner layers to be peeled away from another top liner layer of the plurality of top liner layers while the another top liner layer remains in its original position. The plurality of bottom liner layers are arranged in manner that allow a bottom liner layer of the plurality of bottom liner layers to be peeled away from another bottom liner layer of the plurality of bottom liner layers while the another bottom liner layer remains in its original position.

What is claimed is:

 a base;   a plurality of top liner layers disposed adjacent to a top surface of the base; and   a plurality of bottom liner layers disposed adjacent to a bottom surface of the base.   
     
     
         2 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of top liner layers are arranged in manner that allow a top liner layer of the plurality of liner layers to be peeled away from another top liner layer of the plurality of top liner layers while the another top liner layer remains in its original position. 
     
     
         3 . The peelable plate of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of bottom liner layers are arranged in manner that allow a bottom liner layer of the plurality of bottom liner layers to be peeled away from another bottom liner layer of the plurality of bottom liner layers while the another bottom liner layer remains in its original position. 
     
     
         4 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein each of the top liner layers include a top tab portion extending outwardly from each respective top liner layer. 
     
     
         5 . The peelable plate of  claim 4 , wherein each of the bottom liner layers include a bottom tab portion extending outwardly from each respective bottom liner layer. 
     
     
         6 . The peelable plate of  claim 5 , wherein a plurality of top tab portions are aligned with a plurality of bottom tab portions. 
     
     
         7 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein
 the plurality of top liner layers are formed such that a peripheral portion of each of the plurality of top liner layers extends substantially vertically downward,   an angled edge is defined at an end of the downward facing peripheral portions of the top liner layers, and   the plurality of top liner layers are arranged such that an outermost top liner layer extends further downward than an adjacent top liner layer.   
     
     
         8 . The peelable plate of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of top liner layers form a food resistant barrier between the plurality of top liner layers due to the outermost top liner layer extends further downward than an adjacent top liner layer. 
     
     
         9 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of top liner layers are arranged such that adjacent top liner layers are in direct contact with each other with no adhesive layer disposed between adjacent top liner layers. 
     
     
         9 . The peelable plate of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of bottom liner layers are arranged such that adjacent bottom liner layers are in direct contact with each other with no adhesive layer disposed between adjacent bottom liner layers. 
     
     
         11 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein
 an adhesive is disposed between a top liner layer of the plurality of top liner layers that is adjacent the base, and   an adhesive is disposed between a bottom liner layer of the plurality of bottom liner layers that is adjacent the base.   
     
     
         12 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein the base has a greater stiffness than each of the plurality of top liner layers and each of the plurality of bottom liner layers. 
     
     
         13 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein
 the plurality of top liner layers and the plurality of bottom liner layers are compressed against the base, and   the plurality of top liner layers and the plurality of bottom liner layers are maintained in position in part due to creases in the plurality of top liner layers, the base, and the plurality of bottom liner layers.   
     
     
         14 . The peelable plate of  claim 1 , wherein
 the plurality of top liner layers includes in the range of 15-30 top liner layers, and   the plurality of bottom liner layers includes in the range of 2-10 bottom liner layers.   
     
     
         15 . The peelable plate of  claim 14 , wherein
 the plurality of top liner layers includes 25 top liner layers, and   the plurality of bottom liner layers includes 5 bottom liner layers.   
     
     
         16 . A peelable food container comprising:
 a base;   a plurality of top liner layers disposed adjacent to a top surface of the base; and   a plurality of bottom liner layers disposed adjacent to a bottom surface of the base.   
     
     
         17 . The peelable food container of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of top liner layers are arranged in manner that allow a top liner layer of the plurality of liner layers to be peeled away from another top liner layer of the plurality of top liner layers while the another top liner layer remains in its original position. 
     
     
         18 . The peelable food container of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of bottom liner layers are arranged in manner that allow a bottom liner layer of the plurality of bottom liner layers to be peeled away from another bottom liner layer of the plurality of bottom liner layers while the another bottom liner layer remains in its original position. 
     
     
         19 . The peelable food container of  claim 16 , wherein each of the top liner layers include a top tab portion extending outwardly from each respective top liner layer.
