Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1 . Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a towel cake, and more particularly to a towel wrapping around a lateral board of a supporting body in the shape of a cake so that the towel cake looks more solid and stable.

2 . Description of the Related Art

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, FIG. 1 is a perspective diagram of a conventional cake towel and FIG. 2 is the process for making a conventional cake towel. In FIG. 1 the cake towel comprises at least a cake body 101, a towel 102, a cake container 104, a cake decoration 105, a transparent bag 108, a ribbon 109 and a tag 110. In FIG. 2, you can clearly see that the cake towel is constructed by a cardboard 103 with a top side 106, and from the top side 106 each side extends a folding side 107. The making process is being described in FIG. 2, wherein step (a) the cake towel 102 is being placed on the top side 106 of the cardboard 103, and in step (b) the towel 102 is being folded toward the center in accordance with the folding sides 107 and folded in accordance with the shape of the top side 106 to form the shape of the cake body 101 as in step (c), then place the cake body 101 into the cake container 104 to complete the process. Referring to FIG. 1, place the decoration 105 on the towel 102 of the cake body 101, and then put it inside a transparent bag 108; afterwards, a ribbon 109 is tied and a tag 110 is attached to form a complete cake towel.

However, the towel easily tears open along the folding sides if a cake body is folded and wrapped this way; also the folding side would not be solid and stable if the towel is wrapped this way and would not help placing the cake into the cake container. As regards the outside packaging, putting the cake body into a transparent bag would not support the exerted pressure and would easily crush the cake towel.

To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, the inventor presents a way of using a towel to wrap up a supporting body so that the towel would not easily fall apart, then place the entire object onto a carrier tray and cover it by a transparent external hood, which would protect the towel cake. With years of research and practical experience in design and after repeated discussions, the inventor has presented a preferred embodiment for the towel cake.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the shortcomings described above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a towel cake, and more particularly to use a surrounding lateral board and insert plate to make the supporting body of the towel cake more solid and stable, and then give better protection to the towel cake by using an external hood and a carrier tray.

To this end, the present invention of a towel cake comprises at least a flat board, a lateral board and a towel, wherein the flat board must have at least one straight edge and the lateral board is extended from the straight edge of the flat board with at least two bending sections to surround the flat board and use a towel to wrap up the flat board and the lateral board to form the shape of a cake.

Referring to the above description of the present invention of a towel cake, the flat board can have different shapes with at least one arc edge with a plurality of straight edges or a plurality of arc edges or a single straight edge and a single arc edge, or a single arc edge and a plurality of arc edges, or a plurality of straight edges and one arc edge, or a plurality of straight edges and a plurality of arc edges. Further, the edge of the flat board must have at least an insert plate and with a corresponding insert slot on the lateral board so that the flat board and the lateral board can be mutually fixed; or, the lateral board has corresponding insert twigs and insert slots at the starting edge and the distal edge so that the starting edge and the distal edge can be mutually fixed and not easy to separate. Furthermore, the shapes of the bending sections of the lateral board include rectangular shape alone, or ladder and rectangular shape, or ladder and polygonal shape, or rectangular and polygonal shapes so that the flat board is in a slant or a horizontal disposition. Then, a fixed strap may be used to surround the outside of the towel cake so that the towel can be steadfastly adhered to the flat board and the lateral board. Afterwards, place the towel cake onto a carrier tray and cover it with an external hood with an outside artwork to ensure stability of the towel cake and give better protection to it.

To make it easier for our examiner to understand the above technology and the effect achieved and with improved understanding and recognition, the following feasible preferred embodiment accompanied with the related drawings are described in detail below.
