Octagonal container for food, especially tostadas

摘要

An octagonal container for food, such as suitable for keeping or packaging tostadas, manufactured from a carton blank, is formed of eight sections or sides which includes at one end a flap with adhesion thereon that is joined to an opposite flap. The container also has edges located on top and bottom sides that are folded and joined towards the center of the container. The top part of the container is structured to form what appears to be a flower upon closure which provides a very attractive characteristic for the consumer. The container also has a practical, new, and easy closing system, so that when opening the container, it is only necessary to pull the opening flaps outward. To close the container, it is only necessary to press such flaps to the center and inwards and the container will be kept sealed. When closing the container, a “sinking” is formed in the top part of the container which acts as a cushion so that the product in the container is kept in good condition.

1. A container for packaging food comprising an octagonal body formed from a carton blank having eight side sections, a first flap located at a first end of said carton blank adjacent one of said side sections, said first flap being attached by an adhesive to another one of said side sections located at a second end of said carton blank thereby forming the body of the container; a bottom wall formed from a plurality of flaps extending from a first end of the side sections of the blank and which includes at least a first flap which overlaps a second flap, said first flap being centrally joined to the second flap by a third flap extending from said first flap inserted into a notch present in said second flap; a top wall formed from a plurality of edge portions of uniform length extending from a second end of said side sections of the blank, each of said edge portions including a free outer edge wherein a portion of said outer edge is rounded, the rounded portion including a topmost point located farther from a respective one of said side sections than remaining portions of said outer edge and centered vertically with respect to sides of the respective side section, each of said edge portions being symmetrical about a line extending from said topmost point to said respective side section, said edge portions forming a reclosable top wall in the container by a series of folds in the edge portions which allow joining of the edge portions in a center of the top wall of the container, and which is kept in a closed position in the absence of an adhesive, wherein the edge portions are constructed and arranged to allow the top wall to be opened by a pull outwards of one edge portion of said plurality of edge portions and to be closed by pushing the edge portions to the center and inwards of the body so that when closed said top wall extends at least partially inward in the body; and an opening located in a middle portion of at least one of said side sections that acts as a window to provide visibility inside of the container.
