Definitions

  • This invention relates to food containers, and in particular to a food container with attached napkin.
  • Fast foods sold in venues such as race tracks are typically served wrapped in tin foil or disposed in some other disposable food container such as a paper plate, cardboard container, etc. These fast foods may include hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages, slices of pizza, etc. No napkins are typically available, because of the very real danger that improperly discarded napkins could blow across the race track while a race is in progress, stick to a race car windshield, create a blind spot for the driver, and cause a potentially fatal accident.
  • Capy et al. were granted U.S. Patent No. 5,590,783 for a fast food container which featured a pocket containing a napkin. This combination was intended to reduce napkin waste, by eliminating napkin dispensers from fast food restaurants, and only supplying napkins which were contained in the fast food containers themselves. While this approach may reduce the consumption of napkins, no provision to attach the napkin to the food container was taught. Thus, the Capy et al. design did nothing to solve the problem of loose napkins blowing around in the wind.
  • a food container with attached napkin which provides a napkin permanently attached to a food container.
  • Design features allowing this object to be accomplished include a napkin attached to a food container such as a sheet of aluminum or tin foil, plate, dish, etc.
  • Advantages associated with the accomplishment of this object include prevention of loose napkins blowing around, along with the attendant reduction in the danger of a blown napkin obstructing the view of competitive racers.
  • Design features allowing this object to be accomplished include a napkin manufactured of absorbent material permanently attached to a food container.
  • Benefits associated with the accomplishment of this object include a functional napkin for the use of the diner, and elimination of the need for the diner to wipe his hands off on his clothes.
  • Design features allowing this object to be achieved include the use of readily available materials and off-the-shelf components. Benefits associated with reaching this objective include reduced cost, and hence increased availability.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble récipient alimentaire-serviette (2). Une serviette (6) est attachée à un récipient alimentaire (4) pour accompagner la consommation d'aliments placés dans le récipient alimentaire (4), tout en restant fixée au récipient alimentaire de façon à ne pas être battue par le vent créant de ce fait une situation peu esthétique ainsi qu'un obstacle potentiel à la visibilité. Le récipient alimentaire (4) peut être constitué d'une feuille de matériau; il peut aussi être un quelconque autre récipient approprié, tel qu'une assiette, un plat, etc. Le récipient alimentaire (4) peut être une enveloppe (12) dimensionnée pour loger la serviette (6) jusqu'à son utilisation. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on décrit une feuille de couverture (20) disposée entre le récipient alimentaire (4) et la serviette (6) de façon à couvrir les aliments placés dans le récipient alimentaire (4).
