One piece collapsible disposable bowl-like food container

Abstract

A thirteen sided collapsible container in which wet and dry food can be distributed from fabricated with one die cut and scored piece of a non permeable coated paperboard which contains fluids without warping or leaking. This invention is intended to be packaged with foods such as microwave popcorn to serve as a disposable container to consume edible product from. The invention may also be utilized as a container for food to be consumed from in instances where packing space is limited, such as a backpack for camping or hiking.

1 . A one piece collapsible disposable bowl-like food container comprised of thirteen sides in which wet and dry food can be distributed from fabricated from one die cut and scored piece of a non permeable coated paperboard which will contain fluids without warping or leaking.  
     
     
         2 . The one piece collapsible disposable bowl-like food container as described in  claim 1  is formed as an eight sided octagon upon fabrication with score lines for bending located at each intersection of two adjacent edges traversing perpendicular to the edge of origin to the opposite intersection of two adjacent edges. Additional score lines originating at the intersection of perpendicular score lines and extending to the edge at the midpoint of the octagon's angular edges.  
     
     
         3 . The one piece collapsible disposable bowl-like food container as described in  claim 1  becomes rectangular or square when collapsed minimizing consumed area.  
     
     
         4 . The one piece collapsible disposable bowl-like food container as described in  claim 1  unfolds from a rectangle or square to a thirteen sided polygon with an open top, four angular sides extending from the base outward, and eight triangular shaped sides extending from the edges of the aforementioned angular sides inward to intersect at a line perpendicular to the base.
