  • Patent number: 5946773
    Abstract: A device for holding a frozen food product includes a handle which is formed with a gripper. The gripper is formed with at least one irregularity which conforms with the frozen food product to hold the frozen food product on the handle. Specifically for a substantially flat, elongated handle, the gripper can be indentations into the edge of the handle, a hole through the handle, or a combination of these irregularities. Additionally, the device includes a multi-color design which is affixed to the handle by a four-color process, and a protective layer which is made of a bio-compatible material that is attached to the handle to position the design between the handle and the protective layer. The device is die-cut from a sheet in an operation which simultaneously manufactures a plurality of the devices.
