Food tray

摘要

A food tray formed of a unitary sheet of material includes a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, first sidewall, and a second sidewall that define an opening through which an item is placed in the food tray. First and second flaps extend from respective top edges of the first and second sidewalls and are configured to be folded toward an interior of the food tray. The first and second flaps each define slots. First and second lid members extend from respective top edges of the front wall and the rear wall and are configured to be folded toward the interior of the food tray. The first and second lid members define a pair of tabs on respective side edges that are configured to engage the slots defined by the first and second flaps.

1. A food tray formed of a unitary sheet of material comprising:
a front wall with a distal end and a proximal end, and a rear wall with a distal end and a proximal end; a first sidewall that extends between the distal end of the front wall and the distal end of the rear wall, and a second sidewall that extends between the proximal end of the front wall and the proximal end of the rear wall, wherein the front wall, rear wall, first sidewall, and second sidewall extend about an opening through which an item is placed in the food tray and wherein each of said front and rear walls and said first and second sidewalls has a top edge that collectively define a top horizontal plane; a bottom wall extending between the front wall, rear wall, first sidewall, and second sidewall; first and second flaps that extend from the respective top edges of the first and second sidewalls, the first and second flaps configured to be folded toward an interior of the food tray along the respective top edges to extend generally along the top horizontal plane, wherein each of the first and second flaps has a slot spaced from the respective top edges of the first and second sidewalls and from respective distal edges of the first and second flaps such that the slot extends generally along the top horizontal plane; and first and second lid members that extend from respective top edges of the front wall and the rear wall, wherein the first and second lid members are configured to be folded toward the interior of the food tray to lay on top of and in contact with said first and second flaps so as to extend over the distal edges thereof, wherein each of the first and second lid members has opposite side edges and a tab on each side edge that are each configured to engage the corresponding slots the first and second flaps with the tabs extending generally along the top horizontal plane when the first and second lid members are folded over the first and second flaps and the opening to thereby secure the first and second lid members to the first and second flaps; wherein the side edges of the first and second lid members include proximal side edge portions that extend between the top edges of the respective front and rear walls and the tabs, and the proximal side edge portions and the tabs are configured to form hook regions therebetween for securing the tabs within the respective slots in the first and second flaps; wherein the first and second lid members and the tabs are sized and configured such that the tabs lay over one another above the opening with the lid members in a closed configuration and the tabs inserted within the respective slots.
