  • Publication number: 20090283531
    Abstract: A disposable plastic or paper plate having a skirt around an outer periphery thereof, the skirt either having an elastic element integrally formed therein, or having an elastic band around a bottom portion. The disposable plate may be placed onto a hard plate for support, and the elastic skirt is placed over the sides of the hard plate so that the skirt contracts beneath the hard plate and holds the disposable plate onto the hard plate without sliding off the hard plate. The disposable plate serves as a liner, so that after the disposable plate is placed on the hard plate and the skirt is holding the disposable plate in place on the hard plate, food may be placed onto the disposable plate for consumption. After the meal is finished, the disposable plate may be removed from the hard plate and disposed of, which eliminates the need for washing the hard plate.
