Embodiment Construction

[0023]Prior to proceeding with the more detailed description of the present invention it should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, identical components which have identical functions have been designated by identical reference numerals throughout the several views illustrated in the drawings.

[0024]In a first aspect the present invention provides an apparatus, generally designated 10, for containing a hot food product for delivery. It is within the scope of the invention that the apparatus 10 could be used for transporting various hot food products; however, the main hot food product that the invention is designed for is for the delivery of pizza, since pizza is by far the product that is most widely thought of when one thinks of home delivery. The apparatus 10 comprises a box member 2 formed of molded paper pulp and having a first predetermined shape and a first predetermined size. The box member 2 has a base portion 4 and a wall portion 6, each of the base portion 4 and the wa...

Abstract

An apparatus for containing a hot food product for delivery. The apparatus comprises a box member formed of molded paper pulp having a first predetermined shape and a first predetermined size. The box member has a base portion and a wall portion each of the base portion and the wall portion have an interior surface and an exterior surface. A plurality of raised portions having a second predetermined shape are disposed on the interior surface of the base portion. Such raised portions cover greater than 50 per cent of the interior surface of the base portion of the box member. A molded paper pulp lid member is engageable with the box member. The lid member has a second predetermined shape and a second predetermined size and has both an interior surface and an exterior surface. There is at least one closure means having a first portion formed on the lid member and a second portion formed on the box member for closing such box after such hot food product is placed therein.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates, in general, to a pizza box, and, more particularly, the present invention relates to a pizza box that is made of molded paper pulp.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Corrugated paper material that is currently used for pizza delivery boxes tends to become soggy and to lose some of its structural strength after absorbing greasy drippings and steam condensation. A corrugated box also absorbs moisture emanating from hot, steaming pizza as it emerges from the oven. As a result, the top portion begins to droop a bit and some retailers use a small plastic piece on top of the pizza to hold the top up so that it does not touch the pizza toppings. Most pizza that is made available through retailers are circular in shape yet the pizza its transported in a square shaped box because of limitations of the die-cut corrugated paper box-making process. This mismatch in shape introduces unnecessary air around the hot product that leads to addi...
