CARRY-OUT TRAY

摘要

CARRY-OUT TRAY A molded carry-out tray is provided for use in accommodating cup-shaped containers which vary in size within a predetermined range. The tray comprises at least one recessed pocket for accommodating and maintaining a container in an upright position while the tray is disposed in a substantially horizontal plane. The pocket is provided with a base section which subtends and supportingly engages the bottom of the container when the latter is inserted to the fullest extent into the pocket. Extending divergently upwardly from the base section are walls which terminate at a common plane disposed at a predetermined elevation above the base section. Corner sections are disposed intermediate the walls and interconnect corresponding portions of adjacent walls. Each corner section is connected to a peripheral portion of the base section and extends upwardly therefrom. The corner sections and walls coact to form an open top. Each wall has an upper segment integrally connected to adjacent corner sections and an outwardly yieldable depending lower segment having the lower edge thereof disposed adjacent to, but spaced from, the periphery of the base section. Side edges of the lower segment extend upwardly from opposite ends of the lower edge and are spaced from corresponding side portions of the adjacent corner sections. Each corner section side portion is provided with a ledge which is recessed from the open top of the pocket and is offset inwardly towards the center of the pocket.
