Container

Abstract

A container device for transporting single servings of goods. A base has a central depression shaped to hold the goods and is circumvented by side walls conforming to the shape. This provides an upwardly facing primary shoulder region. The walls further include an exteriorly projecting first shoulder disposed below the primary shoulder, and a flared radially outwardly directed terminal edge having a second outwardly projecting shoulder. A cover has a top surface and side walls shaped to conform to the shape of the base. The side walls have an interiorly projecting first shoulder and terminate in a flared radially outwardly directed terminal edge. The interiorly projecting shoulder and terminal edge of the wall are aligned to interface with the first projecting shoulder and second projecting shoulder respectively of the base. The cover side walls have an upper portion extending generally vertically above the primary shoulder region of the base to the top surface of the cover for sufficient distance to accommodate the goods. The upper portion has a plurality of vertically upstanding rigidifying pyramidal shaped sections, each having an upper end terminating adjacent the top surface and has a lower end with an inwardly projecting ledge aligned to abut on the primary shoulder to restrict inward or downward movement of the cover toward the goods.
