The self-folding pizza packaging box with the compartments and carry handle belongs to the area of transport packaging. The box (1) is made of the folded blank (A), formed by folding and gluing into a flat form of the box (1), and is formed from the upright surfaces in a vertical position. The box (1) is made in the form of a prism with bases (2, 3), parallel lateral panels (4, 4′′), while its other two parallel sides are rectangular flaps (5). The box (1) is formed by folding upwards the lateral panels (4, 4′) of the rectangular shape along the folding lines (2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2), by straightening the flaps (9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4) which are continued to the lateral panels (4, 4′) and by folding upwards the rectangular parts of the flaps (5) along the folding lines (2.3) so that it is brought to a vertical position to the bases (2, 3) of the rhomboid shape. By folding upwards the lateral panels (4, 4′) the rhomboid compartments (6, 7) are also straightened, they are pulled in towards the inside of the box (1) in relation to the outer edges of the filling opening. On the flap (5) whose longer side is the folding line (5.1), a cutting line (5.2) is made in which the flap (8) is inserted, made in the middle of the other two parallel sides of the base (3) along the folding line (8.3), thus sealing the box (1) is provided. After putting six slices of pizza, the whole pizza, into the box and closing it, the carry handle (10) is inserted into the box (1) so that the parts (10.3) are inserted between the rectangular parts of the flap (5) and the flaps (9.2, 9.4), the parts (10.2).) rest on the lateral panels (4, 4′), and the part (10.1) is placed diagonally on the surface of the base (3). The application (contain the embodiment of the box (1) which is the folded blank (A1).

Food storage and cooking vessel with a valve

According to one example, a removable lid for a container of a vessel includes a valve configured to selectively allow air to vent out of a fluid retaining interior region of the container when the lid is positioned on the container. The valve includes an opening that extends entirely through a thickness of a portion of the lid, and a valve plug. The valve plug includes a valve top portion that extends vertically above a top surface of the portion of the lid, a valve bottom portion, and a valve central portion. The valve top portion is configured to be contracted, by a downward pressure, into a more vertically compact shape. The valve top portion is further configured to, absent the downward pressure, expand back upwards out of the more vertically compact shape.

Combination cutting board and sealable container

The present invention provides stackable food storage containers having a cutting board base with a peripheral channel that may receive fluids from food prepared on the cutting board and that may also receive the peripheral edge of a lid. The lid may include a peripheral gasket for sealing engagement with the base, and may be fastened to the cutting board base with a series of clamps provided on each side. The lid may be operable to cover prepared food on the base without disturbing it for storage and/or transport, and may also provide a water-tight seal along the perimeter of the cutting board and lid. Multiple cutting boards and sealable lids of different sizes may be placed in staggered nestable stacks.

MULTI-DIMENSION HEATED PACKAGES AND VESSELS
20220330390 · 2022-10-13 ·

A system and method for integrating inductive heating into packaging and other product vessels that allows for controlled heat distribution. The system and method provides for multidimensional heating of a packaged item on multiple sides at the same time using electromagnetic energy emitted from a single source. The inductively heated package may include a heating element having a plurality of conductive elements configured to implement a desired heating profile. The conductive elements may be arranged in layers to allow heating on different surfaces of a packaged item. Each layer of the heating element may be configured to distribute the available energy as needed for an ultimate cooking experience. The present invention provides a method of design where the sum of the available energy is distributed in accordance with the desired heating profile. The heating method enables boxes, vessels, wrappers, pouches, bags, and other containers

CUTTING BOARD WITH NESTED CONTAINERS
20230148223 · 2023-05-11 · ·

A cutting board with one or more cut-out sections is provided. Each cut-out is defined by a ledge, and one or more containers may be installed in a cut-out, by engaging their rims/edges with a cut-out ledge. After installation, and during use of the cutting board, no container extends above a work surface of the cutting board. Therefore, food ingredients, remnants, scraps, and so on can be easily and directly scraped or otherwise moved from the work surface to the installed containers. A portion of the cutting board that comprises the work surface is placed on a counter or other support and may be weighted to offset the weight of the containers, which overlie open space or an area lower than the counter (e.g., a sink).
