CONTAINER FORMED FROM TWO IDENTICAL TRAYS WITH ENGAGEMENT AND DENESTING FEATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025596 titled 'CONTAINER FORMED FROM TWO IDENTICAL TRAYS WITH ENGAGEMENT AND DENESTING FEATURES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a container with trays that have a similar profile. Each tray has a rim consisting of a proximal segment and a bead segment. The bead segment includes an upwardly-extending member and a downwardly-extending member, which define first and second cavities respectively. When the trays are closed, the upwardly-extending member of one tray is received in the second cavity of another tray, and vice versa. When the trays are stacked, the movement of the second tray relative to the first tray is limited by the engagement of the upwardly-extending member of the first tray with the rim of the second tray, and/or by the engagement of the downwardly-extending member of the second tray with the rim of the first tray.

  • The patent application describes a container with trays that have a specific rim design.
  • The trays can be closed by engaging the upwardly-extending member of one tray with the second cavity of another tray.
  • When the trays are stacked, the movement of the second tray is limited by the engagement of the upwardly-extending member of the first tray with the rim of the second tray.
  • The design allows for secure stacking and limited movement of the trays within the container.

Potential Applications

  • Food storage containers
  • Packaging containers for fragile items
  • Organizational storage containers

Problems Solved

  • Prevents trays from sliding or shifting within the container during transportation or storage
  • Provides a secure and stable stacking mechanism for trays
  • Reduces the risk of damage to items stored within the container

Benefits

  • Improved organization and storage efficiency
  • Enhanced protection for fragile items
  • Easy and secure stacking of trays within the container


Original Abstract Submitted

a container includes trays having a substantially identical profile. for each tray, the tray includes a rim that includes a proximal segment and a bead segment, the bead segment includes an upwardly-extending member and a downwardly-extending member, the upwardly-extending member defines a first cavity, and the downwardly-extending member defines a second cavity. when the trays engage to close the container, the upwardly-extending member of a first tray is received in the second cavity of a second tray, and the upwardly-extending member of the second tray is received in the second cavity of the first tray. when the first tray and the second tray are stacked, movement of the second tray relative to the first tray is limited by the upwardly-extending member of the first tray engaging the rim of the second tray, and/or by the downwardly-extending member of the second tray engaging the rim of the first tray.
