Patent number: 4886204Abstract: More facile closure of a food tray having a lid portion, a tray portion, cylindrical female locking elements disposed about a peripheral flange of the lid portion and cylindrical male locking elements disposed about a peripheral flange of the tray portion is accomplished by providing the female elements with axial ribs that both stiffen the female element with respect to closing pressure applied thereto and allow otherwise entrapped air within the female element to escape during insertion of the male element. Raised lands disposed about the peripheral flange of the lid portion adjacent the female elements act to divert a portion of the closing pressure applied, e.g., by a user's thumb, away from the closed end of the female element, thereby limiting deformation of the female element. A concave end surface of the female element also acts to alleviate deformation thereof. These various features are advantageously used either alone, or in concert with one another.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1988Date of Patent: December 12, 1989Assignee: Inline Plastics CorporationInventor: Danny Kalmanides

Patent number: 4771934Abstract: The present invention provides a one-piece plastic thermo-formed foodtray with a lower tray portion which may be closed by a folding upper lid portion. The lid portion is locked over the tray portion by the interlocking of interior upright cylindrical elements formed from a flange about the periphery of the tray portion into exterior upright cylindrical elements formed from a flange about the periphery of the tray portion. Raised lands are provided adjacent to the exterior upright cylindrical elements in order to protect the same from pressure and subsequent degradation and deformation during the interlocking process by limiting the depth of depression with the thumb of the interlocking cylindrical elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1987Date of Patent: September 20, 1988Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventor: Danny Kalmanides
