Sandwich protector

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sandwich protector comprising a folder-shaped container which is formed by a top cover, a bottom cover and a ridge joining the top cover and the bottom cover; and the ridge has two or more substantially parallel folding lines. The present invention is of simple structure, convenient for use and storage, reusable and environmental friendly. It can prevent the sandwich from being deformed under compression, and it can be adjusted according to the width of the sandwich.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a sandwich protector and more particularly pertains to a foldable sandwich protector. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The sandwich containers available in the marketplace can be broadly divided into two types, namely the boxes and the bags. Some sandwich boxes are made of soft transparent plastic in triangular shape with a cover on one side that can be opened and closed. However, this type of sandwich boxes will easily deform after being compressed. Besides, they are of a fixed dimension. If a sandwich has too much fillings or is too large, it can hardly be placed in the box. If the sandwich has little fillings or is smaller, there will be space in the box. It not only wastes the space, but also allows the fillings to spill out in the box which causes inconvenience in taking the sandwich. Some other sandwich boxes are made of hard plastic. Although this solves the problems of the deformed sandwiches and of the non-reusable sandwich boxes, t...

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention is further described in detail by means of the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a folder-shaped container 1, a top cover 2, a bottom cover 3 and a ridge 4 joining the two covers. They are made of polypropylene which is suitable for storing food. In this embodiment, the width of the top cover 2 matches the height and measures 13 cm. The width and height of the bottom cover match those of the top cover and each measures 13 cm. The surface areas of the top cover 2 and the bottom cover 3 are sufficient to cover an ordinary sandwich. The width of the ridge measures 6.5 cm, which is thicker than the height of an ordinary sandwich for the purpose of holding the same. Its height matches that of the top cover 2 and that of the bottom cover 3 and measures 13 cm. On the ridge 4, there are four substantially parallel folding lines 5.
