  • Patent number: 7066362
    Abstract: A carrying device most specifically for carrying a pizza box in a level position when placed on a car seat which slopes downwardly from the front edge of the car seat toward the back rest. A pair of side panels extend from a back panel and are joined together at the ends of the side panels opposite from the back panel. End flaps are located on the ends of the side panels opposite form the back panel and are elevated above the side panels. Likewise, the back panel extends above the height of the side panels. The side panels have a bottom edge which moves closer to the top edge as the side panels extend from the back panel to the end flaps. A pizza box fits between the back panel and the end flaps. If the carrying device is to be used with boxes of varying sizes, perforations are located in the top edge of the side panels to permit a variety of portions of the top edges of the side panels to be turned down to hold pizza boxes of varying sizes.
