Cake container cover-base connection
US-8307982-B1Abstract
A cake container having a base ( 14 ) and a transparent cover ( 16 ) lying over the base, both being constructed of heat-formed plastic sheets, with peripheries of the base and cover securely latched together in a way that avoids sudden movement during unlatching. The base has a largely vertical peripheral wall ( 24 ) forming a plurality of dimples ( 26 ), and the cover has a lower peripheral wall ( 30 ) with a plurality of dimple-receiving regions ( 32 ). Each dimple-receiving region includes a chimney ( 52 ) that receives a dimple until the dimple lies at the top portion ( 60 ) of the chimney. The cover then can be turned so the dimple enters a dimple-receiving cavity ( 54 ) that prevents the cover from moving up off the base until the cover is turned back. The cover has a plurality of vertical ribs ( 172, 173, 174 ) forming wide panels ( 182 ) and forming narrow panels ( 180 ) between the wide panels. Stickers ( 124 ) adhere to peripheries of the cover and base to show the customer that there has been no tampering.
