Stow away plates

I would like to take this opportunity to describe my invention, of an addition that can be utilized on all paper, foam, plastic, disposable materials, plates and bowls. The way this invention operates, there is a single cartridge with a loaded plastic strip on the underside of the plate. The plastic strip has a flap to grasp, so that when you pull the flap the plastic unravels from the cartridge on the underside of the plate. It covers from one side of the plate to the other side of the plate (to seal the food in) and you wrap it underneath. This covers the plate of food for storage, for picnics, cook outs etc. It would use one cartridge per plate.
