A food handling device includes a holder having an interior chamber extending along a longitudinal axis, and an extension housing detachably mounted on the holder and having an interior compartment for receiving and for holding the foodstuff. A pusher is mounted in the chamber for axial movement. An actuator axially moves the pusher through the chamber and through the compartment into contact with the foodstuff, and incrementally feeds a continuously variable quantity of the foodstuff along the longitudinal axis through the opening directly into a user's mouth to enable the foodstuff to be eaten bite-by-bite in a sanitary manner without using eating accessories, such as plates and/or utensils, and without the user's hands directly touching and contaminating the foodstuff, thereby preventing the spread of disease.

Disposable three dimensional serving utensils that can be incorporated into a pizza box, a cake box or other container, via incised and scored blanks, from which disposable utensils, such as spatulas and knives, can be formed.

A disposal food handling finger tongs or hand coverings for grasping food or other objects. The pockets or finger stalls are connected by at least one connecting tab. At least one functional finger/thumb accommodation area is presented and at least one finger/thumb stability is optionally provided. The disposable tongs or hand coverings provide protection to the user by providing freely extending, unbonded, soft irregular peripheral edges help prevent paper cuts. If both the front and back of pockets or hand coverings are messy, optionally the tongs or hand coverings can be torn, and folded over the back and/or front of the messy pockets, thereby keeping the hands, fingers and/or thumb of the user clean during disposal.

A multi-function food wrapper includes a substrate having a plate portion and a napkin portion, the substrate, the plate portion, and the napkin portion being of at least one material having a flexibility to be rolled up around a food product and contain the food product therein when rolled, the napkin portion being removable and of a material having absorbability.

A novel food dispensing device is described which includes a tubular container for holding the food to be consumed, a pushing apparatus which fits inside of the container like a piston in a cylinder and is moved upward to push the food out of an opening in the container. This will allow handicapped persons, or other users that only have one free hand to feed themselves, since it only requires a single hand to operate. In other embodiments the pushing apparatus is mechanized allowing for feeding oneself with no hands. In alternate embodiments, there is also a beverage container and a tube ending near the container opening, allowing one to drink the beverage from the tube by only having to move his/her head and without the user to physically change positions.

A simple paper food-beverage box comprises a box-body and a box-bottom-body combined in the box-body; wherein the box-body is provided for placing the food, which the box-body and the box-bottom-body respectively set a plurality of first folding-lines to provide folding storage; wherein the box-bottom-body has a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the periphery of the box-body, and the bottom of each of the first folding-line is set with a first incision; wherein the box-bottom-body is set with a first through-hole, thereby providing for sticking and engaging a beverage cup on the bottom surface of the box-bottom-body; wherein the periphery of the cup-mouth of the beverage cup is stuck and engaged by the periphery of the box-body, and the straw of the beverage cup can extend out through the first through-hole.

A system and method for forming reinforced packages. The method can comprise forming an attached web by adhering a construct to a web of material, and moving the attached web in a downstream direction through at least a web edge forming assembly. The moving the attached web can comprise moving the construct with the web of material. The method further can include at least partially forming a folded web by folding at least a portion of the web of material as the attached web moves through the web folding assembly and forming a reinforced package comprising a liner and the construct by separating the liner from a remainder of the folded web. The construct is adhered to the liner.

A container comprising an outer shell formed from a plurality of elongate wall members. Lip portions extend outwardly from along longitudinal sides of each of the wall members such that inner surfaces of the lip portions face each other. Inner surfaces of the lip portions include a press seal mechanism such that pressing inwardly on outer surfaces of adjacent lip portions engages the press seal mechanism to form a plurality of seams securing adjacent wall members together

A device designed to secure a condiment, sauce, or food container on the lid of a beverage container is described. The device and its related embodiments provide a means for holding a condiment, sauce, or food container in such a manner that lateral and/or vertical movement is restricted and/or prevented to reduce the occurrence of container displacement or spillage of contents while enabling greater freedom and use of hands. The device contains features which utilize common features of a beverage container such as the straw, lid lip, or container edge to secure the device and its contents to the beverage container.

A retention device for a low-structure food item and method of operation for holding a low-structure food, such as a bun-less sandwich, during preparation, holding, and consumption. The retention device comprises a pair of flat panels having spikes arranged on one side. The panels sandwich the food item above and below to provide a border that supports the food item while held and consumed. The panels have spikes on one side that orient towards the food item to penetrate the food item. The spikes maintain lateral stability of the food item during consumption. In operation, the panels press down on the food item from opposing sides, causing the spikes to penetrate the food item.
