Abstract
A paperboard plate having a truncated conical base construction is provided. The paperboard plate has a base the serves as the bottom of the paperboard plate. The base includes: a first transition radius; a conically extending planar surface located adjacent the first transition radius; a second transition radius located adjacent the conically extending planar surface; and a plateau located adjacent the second transition radius and opposite the conically extending planar surface; wherein the plateau truncates the conically extending planar surface.

A paperboard plate having a truncated conical base construction, the paperboard plate comprising:
- a base that serves as the bottom of the paperboard plate;
- an upward extending sidewall located adjacent to and about a periphery of the base;
- wherein the upward extending sidewall is oriented transverse to the base;
- a sidewall transition that joins the upward extending sidewall to the base;
- wherein the base includes:
- a bottom flat located adjacent the sidewall transition opposite the upward extending sidewall;
- a first transition radius located adjacent the bottom flat opposite the sidewall transition;
- a conically extending planar surface located adjacent the first transition radius opposite the bottom flat;
- wherein the conically extending planar surface extends upward from the bottom flat to form a conical shape;
- a second transition radius located adjacent the conically extending planar surface opposite the first transition radius;
- wherein the second transition radius is oriented opposite the first transition radius to truncate the conical shape of the conically extending planar surface;
- and
- a plateau located at about a center of the paperboard plate;
- wherein the plateau is located adjacent the second transition radius and opposite the conically extending planar surface;
- and
- wherein the plateau further truncates the conically extending planar surface.
