Description

Convertible bag to tablecloth {BAG WHICH CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO A TABLECLOTH}

The present invention relates to the manufacture of a bag that can be used to receive and dispense prepared food.

In general, the presence of many bags of paper or plastic material is known, such as containers made of cardboard or paperboard, which can be commonly used as "picnic" containers to accommodate pre-prepared food during travel or picnics.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a bag with a thin layer of material having thermal insulation properties, in particular in the inner region formed of paper, in the bag, and to provide a plurality of holes on both sides, the contents of the bag used to accommodate pre-prepared foods that are torn in use. It is to provide a bag that can be converted into a tablecloth, which can be used as a tablecloth to spread food.

The bag convertible to the tablecloth provided according to the invention is also made of a flexible material with properties suitable for accommodating and retaining food inside, and is provided on both sides with a thin layer which can be removed from the center in use, and subsequently The thin layers can then be used as a tablecloth with a decorative design on the inner side thereof, and after the food is taken, the bag element in the center of the bag can be used as a normal garbage bag.

The bag convertible into a tablecloth according to the present invention is used to safely receive and transport food prepared in advance in optimum conditions so that it can be used as a tablecloth when taking food.

The bag convertible to the tablecloth of the second embodiment of the present invention is also made of a flexible material of the central bag element so that the contents of the central bag element are emptied, and then the lamination elements constituting the outer part provided with hand are at least on one side, in particular It is configured to be used as a tablecloth decorated with an inner surface attached to the bag element.

In particular, the convertible bag into a tablecloth according to the present invention consists of a thin layer of paper or other material, the thin layer being made in the shape of a square, three of the four sides being fixed and the top open and the two sides being open and squared. A plurality of holes are formed to facilitate separation of the thin layer of the phase into a predetermined shape.

The bag of paper material according to the invention also has a thin layer as a component attached to its outer surface, the component being manufactured under suitable conditions to facilitate side opening, and the thin layer maintains the temperature of the contents contained in the bag. So that it has thermal insulation properties and is attached to the outer surface.

The bag of the present invention also has a thin layer of plastic material or other material, the thin layer being secured to the surface of the bag or to the surface of the material attached to the surface of the bag and having a reinforcement means and a handle and reinforcement means of rigid material. Is provided.

When the contents are emptied from the bag of paper material which is provided with a thin layer as described above, the thin layer obtained by tearing the side portion is used as a tablecloth for placing foods contained in the bag for eating.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, the bag convertible to tablecloth has three components, the bag element forming the center part of which converts the tablecloth into a bag shape and easily folds and unfolds when putting the prepared food into the bag. It has a physical stiffness sufficient to support the food so that it can be carried in the bag in terms of durability, meets the appropriate health standards for the food, and has a volume characteristic.

The other two components are thin layers that assist in maintaining the food temperature encased in the bag element, temporarily attached to both sides of the central bag element, having a width similar to that of the central bag element but longer in length, forming a protruding end. And a hole is formed in the end portion thereof so as to be used as a handle.

These outer thin layers can print advertisements or identification marks on the outer side, making it possible to use a bag as an advertising means and to form a tablecloth decoration.

When it is time to eat the food housed in the central bag element, the two laminated elements attached to the outer surface are peeled off and used as a tablecloth on which the food can be placed.

In the open area the bag element may be provided with a closure.

Auxiliary elements such as napkins, advertising brochures, etc. can also be accommodated between the central bag element and the outer thin layer, which pockets the central bag element by fixing the outer and lower sides of the thin layer to the bag element, You can also use other lamination elements that remain optimal to accommodate napkins and advertising brochures until you remove them for use as tablecloths.
