Sheet for container holding frame

Abstract

This product can hold containers filled with food or other substances by transforming from a single sheet into a container-holding frame. During the transformation into a holding frame, for example, with only the outer frame supported, containers are placed on parallel container-holding sections, and pressure is applied from above the containers toward the container-holding sections, causing the bottom of the container-holding section to descend along with the containers. As the bottom descends, the legs connected along the four sides of the bottom are bent downwards along the crease formed at the boundary with the outer frame, causing the legs to rise from the bottom, and the transformation from sheet to holding frame is completed. The container is held in the three-dimensional holding space of the transformed holding frame, which is divided into the legs bent from the outer frame and the descended bottom. In addition, the bottom surface and upper edge of the container are engaged with the holding frame. Furthermore, the creases formed near the four corners of the bottom can be folded upward as needed, further improving the container retention in the three-dimensional holding space partitioned by the folded legs and the lowered bottom. The held containers can be filled with food, for example, and then the entire holding frame can be placed in a packaging bag and sold as a food product. This product allows, for example, when multiple containers filled with food are held in the holding frame, to separate the individual containers into units by breaking the perforations formed between the parallel container holding sections of the holding frame, or to open the outer frame and separate the containers within the container holding section by breaking the perforations formed at the corners of the outer frame.
