AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a box structure made from a single sheet of material. The sheet includes a bottom panel and several panels that extend laterally outward from the bottom panel. The panels have a closure flap and an arcuate slot for securement. The closure notch and top margin of the panels allow for the securement of the front and rear panels to the side panels. A score line may be used to separate the different panels and improve the strength of the overall structure. The technical effects of this invention include improved efficiency in creating box structures and a more secure and stable closure mechanism.

Problems solved by technology

Other solutions may also require bakers and bakery customers to go through non-intuitive steps to construct and open the cake packaging that are time-consuming and frustrating.
However, the ability to release these positive locks for cake removal requires reaching into the packaging where the frosting of the cake may be bumped and damaged.
However, multiple parts to a package raise the cost of the packaging when compared to a single-piece solution.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0018]Broadly, embodiments of the present invention provide a cake packaging that allows bakers to assemble the carton structure around the cake without risk of damaging the contents by having to reach inside. This will also allow bakery customers to open the packaging without having to reach inside of the structure to remove their cake from the packaging.

[0019]Any packaging element that causes a baker or a bakery customer to have to fuss with the structure formed around the cake increases the odds that the cake or its decorative element will be bumped and damaged. Other cake box solutions do not have a locking mechanism that is...

Abstract

A cake packaging employs special locks that allow bakers and bakery customers to open and close the packaging without risk of damaging the cake inside, but the elements work together so the fully-erected structure hides the less-than-sleek geometry of the locking mechanisms even as these obscuring panels are tucked into one another to secure the panels and give the packaging strength.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to bakery items, and more particularly cake boxes.[0002]Bakers need cake packaging that will allow them to slide a cake into the structure and secure the structure without having to reach inside the packaging where fragile design elements of the cake could be damaged from fingers and hands trying to finish assembly of the packaging. Once a cake is delivered, the design of the packaging should also allow a bakery customer to open and slide out the cake without having to reach inside of the structure where the cake itself could be damaged.[0003]Other solutions may also require bakers and bakery customers to go through non-intuitive steps to construct and open the cake packaging that are time-consuming and frustrating.[0004]Other cake packaging in the art have positive locking mechanisms to secure the structure around the cake. However, the ability to release these positive locks for cake removal requires reaching into the ...
