Paper plates for outings and leisure activities

Abstract

To provide a paper plate that is not easily blown away by the force of wind, since paper plates used for outings, leisure activities, cherry blossom viewing, dinners and barbecues are weak to wind due to their light weight and are blown away when the wind blows during a meal, sometimes scattering the contents of the paper plate and soiling the clothes of the diners. [Solution] By turning one of two paper plates 1 and 2 upside down and gluing the bottoms together to use the two plates as a set, the lifting force of the wind and the pressing force cancel each other out, making the paper plate less likely to fly away.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to paper plates for outdoor use such as for outings and leisure activities. [Background technology]

[0002] Paper plates used for outdoor meals and barbecues during outings and leisure activities are inexpensive and disposable, so they do not need to be washed after use and are very convenient, so they are used outdoors by many people. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The paper plates used above are mainly used outdoors, so they have the drawback that if the wind blows during a meal or barbecue, the paper plates may be blown away, soiling the clothes of the diners.Therefore, this invention aims to solve the above drawbacks by providing paper plates that are less likely to be blown away by the wind. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] When we investigated why paper plates used for outings and leisure activities are easily blown away by the wind, we found that the outer periphery of a paper plate is originally raised in a cone shape, and when wind gets in, the paper plate, being light, easily floats up and is blown away. Therefore, we devised a set of two paper plates, one upside down, by gluing the bottoms of the plates together, and providing paper plates that are less likely to be blown away by the force of the wind, thereby solving the problem. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] Normally, paper plates are used alone, but to solve the problem of them being vulnerable to wind, two paper plates can be glued together with the bottoms upside down. When the wind blows, a force is applied that tries to lift the upper plate and blow it away, and at the same time, the wind also tries to press down the lower paper plate with the same force, making them useful as paper plates that are less likely to be blown away. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] A perspective view of a pair of paper plates, with the larger plate underneath and the smaller plate on top, glued together at the base. [Figure 3] A perspective view of a pair of paper plates, with the plates in Figure 2 turned upside down DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Figure 1 shows a set of two paper plates of the same size, but it is also possible to use a paper plate with the lower plate larger than the upper one, as shown in Figure 2, which will be explained in detail in the examples. Also, when there is no wind, the paper plate in Figure 2 can be used upside down as in Figure 3, which provides a more aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly paper plate than simply placing a single paper plate flat on a table or blue tarp.

[0009] There are two ways to glue the bottoms of two paper plates together: one is to apply adhesive to the bottoms from the beginning, and the other is to fix them with adhesive tape or the like that has been prepared separately as needed when using them. This is economical because it allows the existing paper plates to be used as they are without changing their shape. [Example]

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows two paper plates of the same size glued together at the bottom and used as a pair. When the wind blows, the upper paper plate is subjected to a lifting force, but at the same time, the lower paper plate is subjected to a pressing force, making it less likely to be blown away. Figure 2 shows two paper plates of different sizes used as a pair, with the larger plate on the bottom when the wind is a little strong. The pressing force is stronger than the lifting force, providing paper plates that are more wind resistant, thereby solving the problem. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] The paper plates for outings and leisure activities are a set of two commonly known paper plates used for outings and leisure activities, characterized in that one of the two paper plates is turned upside down and the two paper plates are glued together at their bottoms, and the two plates are used as a set.
