A SELF-FOLDING BOX WITH COMPARTMENTS AND CARRY HANDLE FOR PACKAGING PIZZAS
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).
PORTABLE TEMPERATURE REGULATING FOOD CONVEYING DEVICE
A portable temperature regulating food conveying device may include a lid and a base. The base may be coupled to four sidewalls which may extend up and away from the base. The sidewalls may each be coupled to two other sidewalls to form a generally rectangular prism shaped container which may define a cavity for receiving one or more food items and/or food containers. The lid may be coupled to the top of one or more sidewalls thereby allowing the lid to govern access to the cavity. A liner may be removably positioned within the cavity proximate to the base and sidewalls. One or more temperature modifying units may be in thermal communication with the cavity and the liner and may be configured to modify or to maintain the temperature of the cavity and items received within the cavity.
CONTAINER FOR TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF FOOD PRODUCTS
Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers which preserve the quality of a food product for an extended duration of time, and which optionally allow for cooking of the food product therein. In some implementations, the food containers are sturdy, stackable, insulating, and require minimal or no manual labor to assemble. In some implementations, the food container includes a base and a cover which cooperate to form a closed chamber for supporting, protecting, insulating and optionally cooking a food product, such as a pizza. The base and cover may each be formed of a single layer of material including, but not limited to, molded sugarcane fiber (“bagasse”), molded wood fiber, molded bamboo fiber, molded paper or plastic.
Location Based Holding
A location based holding system comprises a holding device. The holding device includes a food storage chamber and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor senses the temperature of the food storage chamber. A temperature control device changes the temperature of the food storage chamber. A location device determines the physical location of the holding device. A memory stores information about a food item located in the food storage chamber. A processor is operatively coupled to the memory, location device, and holding device. The processor activates the temperature control device of the holding device based on the physical location of the food storage or transportation device.
PACKAGING CONTAINER FOR DRONE DELIVERY
Certain aspects of the technology disclosed involve a container for delivery by drone (e.g., an unmanned aerial vehicle). The container can include a coupling mechanism to lock and unlock a package attached to the drone based on a tension applied to the coupling mechanism. The package can include sidewalls affixed to a top wall. The sidewalls can include securing mechanisms to be secured to a bottom wall of the container. A rigid extremity can be a contiguous extension of any of the sidewalls and extend below a lower surface of the sidewalls. The rigid extremity can include a malleable contour proximate to a corner of the container. The malleable contour can extend from a base of the rigid extremity through the sidewall. An aperture in the top wall can be configured for a inserting member of a coupling mechanism.

Automated vehicle
The present application discloses a vehicle. The vehicle comprises: a first support component and a second support component which may rotate relative to each other; a first drive wheel which is rotatable relative to the first support component; a second drive wheel which is rotatable relative to the second support component; a first universal wheel mounted on the first support component; and a second universal wheel mounted on the second support component. If the vehicle is placed on a horizontal floor and if both drive wheels touch the horizontal floor, then the axis of the first drive wheel and the axis of the second drive wheel may be contained or nearly contained in a vertical plane. The vehicle further comprises motors, sensors and a computer.
