Circular cake tray and cover

A pastry container assembly comprising:

• a circular thin plate holding a pastry on its top surface, the bottom surface of said plate having elevated and recessed portions formed therein;
• an integrally formed thin circular container tray having an elevated central circular portion formed in its top surface supporting said plate, the top surface of said elevated central portion comprising elevated and recessed portions conforming to the elevated and recessed portions of the bottom surface of said plate, the elevated portions in said top surface of said central portion nesting in the recessed portions in the bottom surface of said plate so that said plate is constrained from sliding on said central portion even when said tray is moderately inclined;
• said tray further comprising an outer annular elevated portion formed in the top surface of said tray along its outer circumference and extending radially inwardly therefrom, said elevated annular portion surrounding said elevated central portion and defining therebetween an intermediate annular recessed portion surrounding said elevated central portion;
• and
• a cylindrical cover axially aligned over said tray, the lower circumferential edge of said cover resting on said outer annular elevated portion.

A pastry container comprising:

• a cake tray;
• a cover resting on said cake tray;
• a cake plate having its bottom surface resting on the top surface of said tray;
• and
• mutually registering means formed in said top and bottom surfaces for preventing said plate from moving transversely with respect to said tray.

A pastry container comprising:

• a cake tray;
• a cake plate having its bottom surface resting on the top surface of said tray;
• and
• first means formed in one of said top and bottom surfaces protruding from said one surface;
• and
• second means formed in the other of said surfaces receiving said first means for resisting relative movement between said plate and said tray even when said tray is tilted to a substantial angle.

A pastry container assembly comprising:

• an integrally formed thin plate for mounting a pastry, said plate having a nearly uniform thickness throughout so that its top and bottom surfaces have congruent surface features;
• an integrally formed thin container tray having a nearly uniform thickness throughout so that its top and bottom surfaces have congruent surface features;
• said said tray having an inner elevated circular portion supporting said plate, said elevated portion and said plate having nearly the same diameter, the top surfaces of said elevated portion and said plate mutually having congruently nested surface features, said surface features on each of said tray and plate comprising:
• a plurality of radially extending lands each having an arcuately convex top surface;
• a plurality of radially extending grooves between adjacent ones of said lands, each of said grooves having an arcuately concave top surface;
• an inner recess centrally located with respect to said lands and grooves said lands and grooves converging at said recess;
• and
• an outer annular groove surrounding said lands and grooves;
• and
• a raised annular surface surrounding said annular groove;
• said tray also comprising a circumferential elevated annulus formed along the outer circumference of said tray having a flat top surface, said elevated annulus and said elevated inner circular plate supporting portion defining an intermediate annular groove therebetween;
• said tray having cover fastening means comprising:
• a vertically upwardly extending outer circumferential flange located along the outer circumference of said tray;
• and
• a plurality of integrally formed resiliently deformable horizontally extending tabs disposed radially inwardly on the inner surface of said flange, the top surfaces of said tabs comprising a ramped portion extending continuously from near the top edge of said vertical flange to the radially inner edge of each of said tabs;
• and a container cover fastened on top of said tray,
• comprising:
• a hollow dome-shaped member having an open bottom and a covered top, the radius of said cover open bottom approximating the inner diameter of said tray elevated annulus;
• and
• a resiliently deformable horizontal annular flange extending radially outward from the lower edge of said cover, the outer diameter of said horizontal flange approximating the diameter defined by said circumferential vertical flange on said tray, said cover supported by its horizontal flange resting on said elevated annulus, said plurality of tabs disposed along said vertical flange so that said horizontal flange is deformably receivable over said ramped surfaces to be latched between said elevated annulus and said tabs.
