  • Patent number: 4278172
    Abstract: A thermos jar carrier and lunch tray, one unit functioning as two different units; when closed it is a thermos jar carrier; when open it is a ready made lunch tray. The carrier is formed from a box like structure. The four individual sides are hinged together to form the housing unit (or carrier). When the unit is closed the protruding lips; (extending outward from the lower and upper portion of each individual side forming the housing unit), prevent the thermos jar from escaping from the housing unit, thus acting as retainers, keeping the thermos jars in place within the housing unit.The housing unit when in its open position, the sides form into a lunch tray with individual compartments, whereby thermos jars, cup or cups, utensils and other miscellaneous items relating to the consumption of the food product can be placed in these individual compartments and use them with a degree of stability.
