Abstract
The present invention discloses a novel lid for use in frozen dessert containers. A preferred configuration for the lid is a super-ellipse configuration. The invention allows for registered offset printing on the rim of the lid. The invention also allows for use of a single material for an entire frozen dessert container. The lid manufactured may be composed of fiber material with a polyethylene coating thereon. The lid allows for cost-effective fabrication of a frozen dessert container having a non-circular cross section.

A lid for a container, the container having a predetermined configuration defined by a continuous sidewall, the lid comprising:
- a rim having exterior and interior surfaces, a top portion curled inwardly toward the interior surface to form an edging, a bottom portion folded inwardly to form an annular recess;
- a disc having upper and lower surfaces and a perimeter portion folded substantially perpendicular to the upper and lower surfaces, the perimeter portion inserted into the annular recess;
- and
- wherein the lid is composed of a paperboard material.
A lid for a container, the container having a predetermined configuration defined by a continuous sidewall, the lid comprising:
- a rim having exterior and interior surfaces, a top portion curled inwardly toward the interior surface to form an edging, a bottom portion folded inwardly to form an annular recess;
- a disc having upper and lower surfaces and a perimeter portion folded substantially perpendicular to the upper and lower surfaces, the perimeter portion inserted into the annular recess;
- and
- wherein the inwardly folded bottom portion of the rim has an upwardly projecting end, the lid having an annular channel for receiving the top of the container, the annular channel defined by the upwardly projecting end, the lower surface of the disc and an interior surface of the perimeter portion of the disc.
A lid for a container for the packaging of ice cream, the container having a predetermined configuration defined by continuous sidewall, the lid comprising:
- a rim having a first end and a second end sealed together to form a continuous rim substantially matching a predetermined configuration of the cup, the rim having exterior and interior surfaces, a top portion curled inwardly toward the surface to form an edging, and a bottom portion folded inwardly to form an annular recess;
- a disc having upper and lower surfaces and a perimeter portion folded substantially perpendicular to the upper and lower surfaces, the perimeter portion insert into annular recess;
- and
- wherein the lid is composed of a paperboard material.
A lid for a container for the packaging of ice cream, the container having a predetermined configuration defined by a continuous sidewall, the lid comprising:
- a rim having a top, central and bottom portions, the top portion curled inwardly toward the interior surface to form an edging, the central portion defining a continuous first layer and a bottom portion folded inwardly to form an annular recess and to define a second layer;
- a disc having a perimeter portion folded into the annular recess, the perimeter portion to define a third layer;
- and
- whereby the lid provides a three layer boundary for greater support and protection of the production therein, and the lid is composed of a paperboard material.
A lid for a container, the lid comprising:
- a rim having at least two layers, wherein a first layer defines an exterior layer and a second layer defines an interior layer;
- a disc having upper and lower surfaces and a portion angled with respect to the upper and lower surfaces, wherein the disc angled portion has an exterior and interior surface and is attached to the rim;
- and
- wherein an annular channel is defined by an upwardly projecting end of the second layer and the lower surface of the disc.
