Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disposable tableware technology, and in particular to disposable airline tableware. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft are designed to be as lightweight as possible to save fuel consumption. Disposable tableware is lighter than reusable tableware, which helps optimize payload. In addition, disposable tableware takes up less storage space, making it easier to store more service supplies in the limited cabin space. At the same time, disposable tableware is convenient for quick distribution and service, improving the work efficiency of flight attendants. As a result, aircraft consume a large number of disposable tableware every year.

[0003] However, traditional disposable tableware is not well-suited for use in aviation. The bottom of traditional disposable tableware is generally smooth with a low coefficient of friction. During flight, aircraft often encounter changes in airflow and turbulence, which can cause the tray to slip off the tray table, leading to spills or burns. Passengers are constantly worried that the tray will slip or tip over while eating, thus affecting their flight experience.

[0004] To solve this technical problem, this utility model proposes disposable airline tableware. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide disposable airline tableware, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] Disposable airline tableware includes a plate with handles on both sides and a support tube inside. The upper end of the support tube has a slot, and the lower ends of the plate and support tube have protruding points. The upper end of the plate has a retaining ring, and the upper end of the plate has a lid with a sealing edge on the side. Both the plate and the lid are made entirely of cornstarch.

[0008] Preferably, the plate has multiple food grooves, including elongated grooves and straight grooves, all of which have the same lower height and are all deepened.

[0009] Preferably, the handle is arc-shaped, conforming to human hand ergonomics, and the lower end of the support tube is lower than the lower end of the food groove, so that the lower end of the support tube can be placed in the cup slot of the small table at the rear of the aircraft seat.

[0010] Preferably, the raised points are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the food groove and the support tube, and the four corners of the plate and the lid are rounded.

[0011] Preferably, the retaining strip is located at the upper edge of the plate, the lid has a frame at each of its four ends, the frame can be snapped onto the four ends of the plate, and the sealing edge can be snapped onto the retaining strip.

[0012] Preferably, the plate is provided with a soup bowl, a fork, and a spoon. The bottom of the soup bowl can be locked into a groove. The soup bowl, fork, and spoon are all made of cornstarch. The soup bowl can be placed into the positive groove, and the fork and spoon can be placed into the long groove. The upper end of the lid is provided with a bowl-locking groove, which is located at the upper end of the positive groove.

[0013] Preferably, the lower end of the plate is provided with a reinforced edge and a reinforced support edge, which are located between the food grooves.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, by incorporating a support tube and raised points, when using a tray, the user places the tray on the tray table at the rear of the aircraft seat, positioning the support tube within the cup holder of the tray table. The raised points then interact with the tray table, increasing the friction between them and preventing the tray from easily sliding. This ensures dining safety and prevents the tray from slipping due to slight turbulence during flight, thus protecting passengers from spills or burns. Furthermore, the raised points make the tray more stable, allowing passengers to eat with greater peace of mind, without constantly worrying about the tray slipping or tipping over. This attention to detail enhances the passenger's flight experience, providing greater comfort and convenience.

[0016] In this invention, by providing a slot, the bottom of the soup bowl can be locked in the slot, thereby restraining the soup bowl and effectively preventing relative movement between the soup bowl and the plate, and effectively preventing the soup bowl from moving and spilling due to the shaking of the aircraft.

[0017] In this invention, by providing a long groove and a straight groove, after passengers finish eating, they can place their forks and spoons into the long groove and their soup bowls into the straight groove. This allows the lid to be easily attached to the top of the plate, thus tidying up the tableware and facilitating the collection of tableware by flight attendants. Furthermore, by providing a retaining ring and a sealing edge, when the lid is attached to the plate, the sealing edge can be sealed and engaged with the retaining ring, thus preventing food residue from falling onto the floor.

[0018] In this invention, the plate and lid have a simple structure, no barbs or hooks, and do not require additional components. They can be directly die-cast using a mold, which simplifies the production process, reduces material waste, and lowers production costs.

[0019] In this invention, the plate and lid are made entirely of corn starch, which is a biodegradable product that can degrade naturally without polluting the environment. Furthermore, products made entirely of corn starch do not contain harmful substances and are safe for human use. Moreover, corn starch is a renewable resource that is inexpensive and aligns with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1-5As shown, disposable airline tableware includes a plate 1 with multiple food recesses 9 for holding food. The bottom of all food recesses 9 are flush and deeper than those of ordinary tableware to prevent food from easily spilling out. Handles 2 are provided on both sides of the plate 1. The handles 2 are curved and ergonomically designed for easy handling. A support tube 3 is provided inside the plate 1, with its lower end lower than the bottom of the food recesses 9. The lower end of the support tube 3 can be placed in the cup holder of the tray table at the rear of the aircraft seat, increasing the contact area between the plate 1 and the tray table while ensuring stability. The upper end of the support tube 3 is a slot 4. A soup bowl, fork, and spoon are provided inside the plate 1. The bottom of the soup bowl can be secured in the slot 4 to restrain the bowl and prevent it from moving easily.

[0028] The lower ends of the plate 1 and support tube 3 are provided with raised points 5, which are evenly distributed on the lower surfaces of the food groove 9 and support tube 3. The raised points 5 increase the friction between the plate 1 and the small table, thus preventing the plate 1 from sliding easily. The upper end of the plate 1 is provided with a retaining ring 6 and a lid 7. The upper end of the lid 7 is provided with a bowl-locking groove 11, which is located at the upper end of the positive groove 902. The side of the lid 7 is provided with a sealing edge 8, which can be engaged with the retaining ring 6. The retaining ring 6 is located at the upper edge of the plate 1. The four ends of the lid 7 are provided with a frame 10, which can be engaged with the four ends of the plate 1. The groove 9 includes a long groove 901 and a straight groove 902. A soup bowl can be placed in the straight groove 902, and a fork and spoon can be placed in the long groove 901. After the passenger finishes eating, the fork and spoon are placed in the long groove 901, and the soup bowl is placed in the straight groove 902. Then, when the flight attendant collects the tableware, the lid 7 is placed on the plate 1, so that the frame 10 is engaged with the four ends of the plate 1. At this time, the bowl-holding groove 11 can cooperate with the straight groove 902 to fix the soup bowl in the plate 1. The sealing edge 8 will be engaged with the locking strip 6 to seal the connection between the lid 7 and the plate 1, thereby effectively preventing food residue from falling.

[0029] Plate 1 and lid 7 are made entirely of cornstarch. Soup bowls, forks, and spoons are also made entirely of cornstarch. Cornstarch is a biodegradable product that can degrade naturally without polluting the environment. Products made entirely of cornstarch do not contain harmful substances and are safe for human health. Furthermore, cornstarch is a renewable resource that is inexpensive and aligns with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0030] The bottom of the plate 1 is provided with a reinforcing edge 12 and a reinforcing support edge 13. The reinforcing support edge 13 is located between the food grooves 9. The reinforcing edge 12 and the reinforcing support edge 13 are used to strengthen the plate 1 and enhance its structural stability, ensuring that it will not bend or deform during use. The four corners of the plate 1 and the lid 7 are all rounded to reduce the sharpness of the corners and avoid the risk of scratches or cuts caused by collisions or accidental contact.
