Embodiment Construction

[0015] As illustrated in FIG. 1, my dough container storage system is based on a unique pan body 1 with a lid 2. As is usual with baking and rising pans, pan body 1 is defined by contiguous side walls 1A and a base 1B. Base 1B defines a bottom for pan body 1 with an open top 1C opposite therefrom. Pan body 1 also has a locking system with interfacing locking elements located on its exterior near its open top 1C and base 1B. This locking system allows pan body 1 to be connected to lid 2 and to other pan bodies in a stack. (See, e.g., pan bodies 11, 21, and 31 in FIGS. 4 and 5).

[0016] In the preferred embodiments illustrated, the interfacing locking elements of my locking system use a bayonet joint type drop and twist connection. This system is ideal for use with the type of round pan bodies 1, 11, 21, and 31 illustrated. It allows the base of the round pan body (e.g., base 1B of pan body 1) to be dropped into the open top of a lower pan body and rotated slightly to make a secure con...

Abstract

A stackable dough storage containment system uses nesting stackable interlocking pan bodies having a locking system for connecting the bodies, such that a pan body in a stack can be locked to pan bodies stacked above and below it. The locking system includes locking members positioned on the outside of each pan body near its base, forming locking connections with locking interfaces located on the outside of each pan body near its top. In the preferred embodiments, the locking members are radial pins and the locking member interfaces are bayonet joints. This allows each pan body to be dropped into position in the open top of the pan body below and rotated slightly to form a secure connection. Vents in each pan body release gases generated during the rising process.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention deals with a dough storage container system for use in the production of pizza. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] In the pizza industry it is necessary for dough balls or buns to be mass produced and stored on site for use during rush periods. Thus, for example, restaurateurs often must produce large numbers of dough balls, allowing them to rise, and store them in a convenient, easily accessed form for later use. [0005] The first part of this process is accomplished primarily using dough proofing / rising pans. Proofing pans are typically round aluminum pans that can be stacked, but cannot be firmly locked together. These pans are inconvenient to use as they take up a substantial amount of counter or shelf space when they are spread out over available surface areas, and cannot be reliably stacked in a manner that will not allow them to easily be knocked over. Moreover, rising dough can overflo...
