  • Patent number: 12049341
    Abstract: A tray includes a floor with walls extending both upwardly and outwardly from said floor to upper edges defining a perimeter. In one embodiment, the walls include opposing side walls and opposing end walls. A lid overlies the tray. The lid includes a perimeter which is similar in size to the tray perimeter. The lid includes latches with upper portions which are spaced apart a greater distance than a width of the tray, and with portions below the upper portions which are closer to each other than the width of the tray. In one embodiment, flanges extend from lower portions of the latches both downwardly and away from the center of the lid. The latches can include knobs extending toward the tray and the walls of the tray can include notches adjacent to the knobs, with the knobs extending into the notches to help secure the lid to the tray.

  • Publication number: 20180303260
    Abstract: The dish is formed by pressing a palm leaf to form a generally concave dish with a floor surrounded by sides extending to an upper edge. A rim extends laterally from this upper edge, formed as a unit with the floor and sides of the dish. A lid is provided which has a top surface with side walls extending down to a perimeter latch. This perimeter latch engages the dish, such as by snapping onto the rim. In one embodiment the perimeter latch extends downwardly from other portions of the lid and has at least one indentation which extends inwardly thereon to provide an upper recess above the indentation which is sized to receive a tip of the rim. A height of the upper recess is oversized relative to a thickness of the tip of the rim to accommodate some variation in dish thickness and some degree of dish warping.
