Food product stabilization systems

Abstract

Food product stabilization systems employing features to stabilize upright food wares that are subject to tipping, crumbling and/or being damaged during transport or storage. Freestanding upright food wares may have exposed edges requiring some form of protection to reduce and/or prevent unwanted surface deterioration, crumbling, tilting, sliding, collapsing and/or damage resulting from transportation and/or storage. Varieties of food containers are disposed around upright food wares as a general means of protecting against humidity, oxidation and/or contaminates from an outside environment. In cases where upright food wares are dissimilarly shaped or sized disproportionately to food containers, unwanted surface deterioration, crumbling, sliding, spillage or damage may occur. The food product stabilization system comprises proportionately designed shapes and/or extendable/contractible edge support features to better enable the upright food wares to be protected, braced, and held more securely during transportation and/or storage. In this manner upright food wares may be efficiently contained, transported or stored even while subjected to external conditions that might otherwise cause damage.
