Abstract
A collapsible pan includes a base portion, a plurality of side portions, and a flexible connector for connecting each of the side portions to the base portion along edges thereof. Each of the plurality of side portions is configured to be pivotable relative to the base portion, thereby permitting adjustment between a use configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side portions is arranged generally upright relative to the base portion, and a collapsed configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side portions is arranged to lay generally flat relative to the base portion.
Claims20
A collapsible pan comprising:
- a. a base portion;
- b. a plurality of side portions;
- c. a flexible connector for connecting each of the side portions to the base portion along edges thereof;
- d. wherein each of the plurality of side portions is configured to be pivotable relative to the base portion, thereby permitting adjustment between a use configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side portions is arranged generally upright relative to the base portion, and a collapsed configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side portions is arranged to lay generally flat relative to the base portion.
A collapsible pan comprising:
- a. a base plate;
- b. a plurality of side plates;
- and
- c. a flexible web connecting each of the plurality of side plates to the base plate along edges thereof;
- d. wherein the flexible web facilitates pivotable movement of each of the plurality of side plates relative to the base plate, thereby permitting adjustment between a use configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side plates is arranged generally upright relative to the base plate, and a collapsed configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side plates is arranged to lay generally flat relative to the base plate.
A collapsible pan comprising:
- a. a base plate;
- b. a plurality of side plates;
- and
- c. a flexible web comprised of a synthetic polymer for connecting each of the plurality of side plates to the base plate along edges thereof and including a plurality of tabs arranged between adjacent side plates for connecting adjacent side plates with one another;
- d. wherein the flexible web facilitates pivotable movement of each of the plurality of side plates relative to the base plate, thereby permitting adjustment between a use configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side plates is arranged generally upright relative to the base plate, and a collapsed configuration, whereby each of the plurality of side plates is arranged to lay generally flat relative to the base plate;
- and
- e. wherein each of the plurality of tabs is configured to fold upon itself and attach to one of the adjacent side plates so as to releasably secure the plurality of side plates in an upright position relative to the base plate when in the use configuration.
