Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a corrugated or other suitable carton board tray for baking food products, such as cake .
  • the present invention also relates to a corrugated or other suitable carton board blank for forming the tray.
  • Metal baking trays which are the main type of baking trays that are currently used in bakeries, can be made to a high degree of dimensional accuracy.
  • metal baking trays have tapered side walls and rounded corners to facilitate the manufacturing process of pressing the trays and to facilitate removing baked products from the trays.
  • the corners of the baked products are not straight and squared. Therefore, these metal baking trays are not adapted to bake products that can be cut into portions having a uniform size and shape.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a corrugated or other suitable carton board baking tray that is capable of producing baked products with a high degree of dimensional accuracy.
  • the present invention provides a corrugated or other suitable carton board tray for baking a food product in the tray that includes a rectangular (which term includes square) base, upright side walls, upright end walls, and a locking assembly that holds the side walls and the end walls in upright positions with the corners of the tray and therefore the corners of the baked food product produced in the tray being straight and squared.
  • a rectangular (which term includes square) base upright side walls, upright end walls, and a locking assembly that holds the side walls and the end walls in upright positions with the corners of the tray and therefore the corners of the baked food product produced in the tray being straight and squared.
  • each side wall of the tray is inwardly concave along its length between the end walls so that the side walls can flex outwardly to form side walls that are perpendicular to the base and perpendicular to the end walls as the food product in the tray expands during baking.
  • the locking assembly releasably holds together the end walls and the side walls of the tray so that the end walls and the side walls can be folded outwardly and downwardly to provide access to the food product that has been baked in the tray.
  • the locking assembly includes locking tabs on the side walls and slots in the end walls that receive the locking tabs and releasably hold together the end walls and the side walls.
  • the side walls include flaps that form part of the end walls of the tray.
  • the locking tabs extend from the flaps.
  • each side wall flap includes at least one locking tab that extends from an upper edge of the side wall flap.
  • the tray includes gusset corners in a lower section of the tray.
  • the gusset corners extend no more than one third of the height of the tray.
  • the present invention also provides a blank of a corrugated or any other suitable carton board material for forming the above-described tray.
  • the blank includes a series of panels separated by fold lines.
  • the side wall flaps and the base flaps include the locking assembly.
  • the side wall flaps include locking tabs and the base flaps include slots that can receive the locking tabs when the base and side wall flaps are in folded positions.
  • the present invention also provides a method of forming the above-described tray from a flat blank.
  • each side wall is formed by folding the side wall panels upwardly at the fold lines that separate the side wall panels and the base panels.
  • each end wall is formed by (a) folding the base flap at that end upwardly at the fold line that separates the base flap and the base panel, and (b) folding the side wall flaps at that end inwardly at the fold lines that separate the side wall flaps and the side wall panels to bring the side wall flaps into contact with the outer surface of the upstanding base flap.
  • the action of folding the side wall flaps inwardly has the effect of bringing the upstanding side wall panels of the tray into contact with side edges of the upstanding base flap and thereby forming the corners between adjacent side and end walls.
  • the method includes engaging the locking assembly by inserting the locking tabs on the side wall flaps into the slots in the base flaps when the base and side wall flaps are in folded positions and thereby holding the side wall flaps against the base flaps.
  • the locking assembly is formed so that the side wall flaps at each end of the tray are pulled inwardly towards each other and thereby force the side wall panels into close contact with the side edges of the upstanding base flaps.
  • This feature contributes to forming straight and squared corners between the side and end walls .
  • gusset panels that form gusset corners in a lower section of the tray.
  • the gusset corners prevent liquids in a baking mix and generated during baking a food product from escaping from the tray.
  • the gusset corners do not interfere with the close contact between adjacent side and end walls at these corners of the tray that is achieved with the above-described arrangement of the base and side wall flaps.
  • the gusset corners extend no more than one third of the height of the tray.
  • the applicant has found that the above-described tray, and more particularly the end wall construction of the upwardly folded base flaps and the inwardly folded side wall flaps that are held together by the described locking assemblies of locking tabs and slots, makes it possible to form straight and squared corners between the side walls and the end walls of the tray.
  • the applicant has found that the locking assemblies of locking tabs and slots facilitate quick and easy erection of the tray from the flat blank.
  • locking assemblies of locking tabs and slots can be quickly and easily unlocked so that one or both end walls can be “unfolded” to facilitate removal of cut portions of baked products from the tray and can then be "re- folded” and locked to re-form the end wall or walls to store remaining cut portions in the tray.
  • each side wall of the tray is formed by folding an upper section of the side wall panel outwardly and downwardly against an outer surface of a lower section of the side wall panel and gluing or otherwise holding the folded upper section against the outer surface.
  • each end wall of the tray is formed by folding an upper section of the base flap outwardly and downwardly against an outer surface of upper sections of the side wall flaps.
  • the slots in the base flaps are positioned so that the slots are on the upper edges of the end walls.
  • the present invention also provides a method of baking a food product in the above-described tray and thereafter at least partially packaging the baked food product which includes depositing a predetermined amount of unbaked food product mix in the tray, baking the food product in the tray, and packaging the baked food product located in the tray so that the baked food product can be transported to an end use location.
  • the cut smaller portions are substantially uniform sise and shape.
  • Figure 2 is a top plan view of the tray shown in Figure 1 which illustrates the arrangement of the base flap and side wall flaps at one end of the tray prior to the flaps being folded upwardly and inwardly, respectively, to form that end wall of the tray; and
  • the baking tray shown in Figure 1 is formed from corrugated or any other suitable carton board which has (a) a bleached lining on the surfaces of the board that form the interior and an upper section of the exterior of the box, and (b) a heat resistant polyolefin or other suitable coating on the bleached lining.
  • the tray is orthogonal with a rectangular base 5, upright side walls 7, and upright end walls 9.
  • the side walls 7 and the end walls 9 are folded outwardly so that the upper edges of these walls form generally smooth surfaces.
  • the side walls 7 of the tray are inwardly concave along the length of the side walls 7 by a small amount to accommodate outward bulging of the side walls 7 as a food product is baked in the tray.
  • the blank includes a series of fold lines 11 that define a series of panels.
  • the panels include a base panel 5 that forms the base 5 of the tray.
  • the panels also include side wall panels 7a that adjoin the base panel 5 at opposite sides of the base panel 5 and side wall panels 7b that adjoin the side wall panels 7a. These side wall panels 7a, 7b form the side walls 7 of the tray.
  • the panels also include gusset panels 21 that partly join together adjacent base flaps 9a and side wall flaps 9c to form the gusset corners 13.
  • the next step in erecting the tray is to fold the glued together side wall panels 7a, 7b upwardly about the fold lines 11 that separate the side wall panels 7a and the base panel 5 to form the upstanding side walls 7 of the tray.
  • the base flaps 9a and side wall flaps 9c are held in contact by means of the above-described slots 15 and locking tabs 17.
  • the positions of these components of locking assemblies are selected so that a step of folding the base flaps 9b outwardly and downwardly positions the slots 15 to form part of the upper edges of the end walls 9 and positions the locking tabs 17 to extend upwardly through the slots 15 so that the locking tabs 17 are retained by the slots .
  • the positions of the slots 15 and the locking tabs 17 are also selected so that it is necessary to force the side wall flaps 9c inwardly in order to align the locking tabs 17 carried by these flaps 9c to be received in the slots 15 and this inward movement further promotes close contact between the side walls 7 and the side edges of the upstanding base flaps 9a that form the corners.
  • the above-described tray can be formed without difficulty on conventional cutting, folding and gluing machinery.
  • a predetermined amount of unbaked food product mix is deposited in the above- described tray and the tray and food product mix are thereafter placed in an oven and the food product is baked in the tray.
  • the tray and baked food product are removed from the oven and the food product is allowed to cool to a required extent in the tray. Thereafter, the cooled food product is cut into smaller portions of 'uniform sise and shape using laser or other suitable precision cutting equipment.
  • the tray forms part of the packaging of the now cut baked food product.
  • the packaging of the baked food product located in the tray is completed as required the packaged product is ready to be transported to an end use location for use at the location.
