DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[00013] Before explaining the present apparatus in detail, it is to be understood that the apparatus is not limited to the particular embodiments and that it can be practiced or carried out in various ways.

[00014] The present embodiments generally relate to a non-woven container forming at least one napkin while continuing to maintain a container for holding and transporting prepared food.

[00015] The embodiments relate to the non-woven container for prepared food with perforations designed to tear away enabling the non-woven container to be reduced in size.

[00016] The embodiments further relate to a full size non-woven container configured to carry prepared food having a front side, a back side integrally connected to the front side, a bottom integrally connected to and between the front side and the back side simultaneously.

[00017] The bottom, back side and front side can each have at least one of: a post-consumer recycled paper sheet, a hydrophilic fabric material, a hydrophobic sheet material, a cotton based fabric, a linen based fabric, a polyester fabric, a polyester blend fabric, a compostable cellulose/pulp based sheet material, cellulose/pulp based sheet material, a recyclable cellulose/pulp based sheet material, a quilted absorbent sheet material, a multi-ply sheet material or combinations thereof. In embodiments, each sheet or fabric can have a thickness from 0.1 mm to 5 mm.

[00018] In embodiments, a first group perforations can be formed in either the front side or the back side, wherein the first group of perforations can be configured to separate at least one absorbent napkin from a portion of the back side or front side, while forming a reduced size container configured to carry prepared food for a user.

[00019] In embodiments, a second group of perforations can be formed in either the front side or the back side proximate the bottom, wherein the second group of perforations can be configured to separate at least a portion of the bottom from the front side or the back side forming a tray used to hold and access prepared food for the user.

[00020] The embodiments further relate to a full size non-woven container with a front side, a back side integrally connected to the front side, and a bottom integrally connected to and between the front side and back side.

[00021] Tear away perforations formed on the non-woven container can be configured to separate a portion of the full size non-woven container forming a reduced size container while simultaneously forming a napkin. Both the reduced size container and the full size container can be configured to continue to carry the prepared food.

[00022] The benefits of the invention, also known as "the napkin bag" can include:

eliminating excess waste of paper by enabling a user to reuse a portion of the bag that is otherwise just thrown away. Packaging bags and separate napkins are already being used and thrown away more than necessary and at additional expenses to a restaurant or a fast food restaurant.

[00023] Often times, a user will take a big stack of napkins that are never used, and throw them away unused after his meal. When the napkin is included as part of the bag, there is less opportunity for an unthinking user to waste paper and pulp and create trash.

[00024] The term "absorbent napkin" as used herein can refer to a material that holds a fluid based product, such as milk or ketchup, soda or coffee of 1/8 of an ounce to 2 ounces.

[00025] The term "cellulose/pulp based sheet material" as used herein can refer to a material, which can be made from a wood product. The term "cellulose/pulp based sheet material" as used refer can refer to the common material of plant cell walls as first recognized by Anselm Paven in 1838.

[00026] The term "compostable cellulose/pulp based sheet material" as used herein can refer to a wood product that can reduce in about 6 weeks into usable compost. The term "compostable cellulose/pulp based sheet material" as used herein can refer to a material that biodegrades completely into substances that are healthy or at least harmless for soil and plants.

[00027] Other compostable materials can include starches, biopolymers, bioplastics and a variety of other known materials.

[00028] The term "full size non-woven container" as used herein can refer to an envelope like container or a four sided bag.

[00029] The term "a hydrophilic sheet material" as used herein can be a flexible material with a special affinity for water. Hydrophilic materials spread water across its surface maximizing contact and liquid absorption. The term "a hydrophobic sheet material" can refer to a fabric that naturally repels water, causing droplets to form on its surface. The term "integrally connected" as used herein can refer to as a front side being glued to the back side, or the front side being made of a material that is the same sheet that the back side if formed from.

The term "multi-ply sheet material" as used herein can refer to a one ply, a two ply or a three ply laminate flexible sheet.

The term "napkin bag" as used herein can refer to a container that is good for the environment and provides cost savings for food supplying businesses. The napkin bag can additionally save on labor as well as supplies, as the "napkin bag" can also reduce the packing time needed to complete a food order.

The term "a polyester blend fabric" as used herein can refer to a thin fabric made from fibers of polyester and other material, such as cotton. In embodiments, the polyester blend fabric can be synthetic fibers blended together into a sheet.

The term "post-consumer recycled paper sheet" as used herein can refer to an at least 10 percent post-consumer recycled material.

The term "prepared food" as used herein can refer to but is not limited to food, such as fast food, fresh food, ordered food, a cooked edible meal or combinations thereof

The term "quilted absorbent sheet material," as used herein can refer to a material, such as quilted toweling with stitching that can create pattern, such as logos, or names.

[00037] The term "recyclable cellulose/pulp based sheet material" as used herein can refer to a material that can be easily broken down and reused as a usable paper product with minimal energy and waste.

[00038] In embodiments, the front side can be from 1 inch to 18 inches wide and from 2 inches to 24 inches high. The front side can have a thickness from 0.1 mm to 5 mm.

[00039] In embodiments, the back side can be from 1 inch to 18 inches wide and from 2 inches and 24 inches high. The back side can have a thickness from 0.1 mm to 5 mm.

[00040] In embodiments, the bottom can have dimensions from 1 inch to 24 inches wide and from 1 inch to 24 inches in length. The bottom can have a thickness from 0.1 mm to 5 mm.

[00041] In embodiments, the first side can be from 1 inch to 18 inches wide and from 2 inches to 24 inches high. The first side can have a thickness from 0.1 mm to 5 mm.

[00042] In embodiments, the second side can be from 1 inch to 18 inches wide and from 2 inches to 24 inches high. The second side can have a thickness from 0.1 mm to 5 mm.

[00043] The bottom, back side and front side each can be made from at least one of: a post- consumer recycled paper sheet, a hydrophilic fabric material, a hydrophobic sheet material, a cotton based fabric, a linen based fabric, a polyester fabric, a polyester blend fabric, a compostable cellulose/pulp based sheet material, a recyclable cellulose/pulp based sheet material, a quilted absorbent sheet material, a multi-ply sheet material or combinations thereof.

[00044] In embodiments, the non-woven container can include a food divider. A benefit of the food divider is that the food divider, when integral with the bag keeps the customer's food organized. This food organizer integral with the non- woven container or bag with napkin is important for both the customer and the restaurant as the combination of the three items can reduce complaints and improve customer happiness.

[00045] With current solutions, food often spills in the bottom of the bag, such as French fries, which can fall out of their container and are lost in the bottom of the bag growing cold. With the food organizer in the bottom of the bag, the chance of food spilling is greatly reduced. Moreover, this food organizer allows for easy checking of an order by a worker to ensure all the correct pieces of the order are included in the non-woven container.

[00046] In embodiments, the napkin bag can have at least one pocket. In embodiments, the at least one pocket can be connected to the front side, the back side, an integral a first side or an integral backside. The at least one pocket can perform a similar function, such as allowing easy checking by an employee to confirm that all required condiments and/or utensils are included in the napkin bag. Because the condiments and utensils are no longer lost in the bottom of the napkin bag beneath the spilled food items, consumers can easily locate these items at the beginning of the meal, which is when these items are needed.

[00047] The ability for the top of the non-woven container to be removed as a napkin while leaving a reduced size container with an included tray intact at the bottom is a huge benefit to anyone eating on the go.

[00048] No longer does a customer have to sift through the contents of the non-woven container to determine what is inside. The customer has only to simply remove the napkins by tearing at a first group of perforations then tearing at a second group of perforations or the tray perforations to have access to a tray for easy access while eating.

[00049] In an embodiment, the non-woven container can contain an integral bib. A bib is especially beneficial to anyone with small children or elderly folks who can't keep food easily in their mouths. The bib can be integral in the non-woven container and easily removed by using a third group of perforations to separate the bib from the non-woven container.

[00050] Food can often be messy, but with non-woven container, the customer, also termed

"user" herein, can be provided with a bib and a tray simultaneously in the non- woven container that can also provide at least one napkin and a carrying container.

[00051] The non-woven container can help eliminate food messes and is a great solution for both parents on the go and for businesses that serve meals specifically for children. [00052] In many countries, napkins are not even given with a meal, but bags are given with takeaway. In this instance, the customer can benefit because this invention adds function to an already disposable item.

[00053] In embodiments, the prepared food can be fast food, fresh food, ordered food or combinations thereof.

[00054] In embodiments, the pocket can be removably attached to the full size non-woven container.

[00055] In embodiments, the pocket can be configured to support and contain a food additive, utensils, condiments, a side dish, or combinations thereof, for use with the prepared food.

[00056] In embodiments, the pocket can be an interior pocket or an exterior pocket formed on the front side or the back side interior of the full size non- woven container.

[00057] In embodiments, the food organizer can be mounted to the bottom within the full size non- woven container to separate food items.

[00058] In embodiments, the non-woven container can include the bib formed from the perforations, in which the bib can be configured to secure around a neck of a user. The bib can remain attached to the tray when in use or can be removed from the tray.

[00059] The terms "napkin bag or bag" as used herein refers to the full size non-woven container which can be reduced to a reduced size container when one or more napkins are removed along a first group of perforations. In embodiments, the napkin bag or bag can also include the tray, which can be separated using a second group of perforations, and a bib, which can be separated using a third group of perforations.

[00060] In embodiments, the first group of perforations, the second group perforations, the third group of perforations, and the fourth group of perforations, and combinations thereof can be formed in a line, or linearly, and have a density from 3 holes per inch to 12 holes per inch, wherein each hole can have a diameter ranging from 0.1 mm to 3 mm.

[000121] In embodiments, each coating can have a thickness from 0.1 mm to 4 mm.

[000122] Figure 6 is a view of the full size non-woven container with a glove according to one or more embodiments.

[000123] In embodiments, the pocket can be in the form of a hand forming at least one glove

101 with the front side or the back side of the full size non-woven container.

[000124] The at least one glove 101 can be formed from the first group of perforations, wherein the at least one glove can be configured to secure around a hand of a user. The at least one glove can be removable from the container or can remain at least partially attached when being used.

[000125] In embodiments, the non-woven container can contain at least one handle 103. In embodiments, which can be secured to the outer portion of the full size non- woven container to support the tray, and allow a user to carry the tray.

[000126] In an embodiment, the full size non-woven container or reduced size container can be shaped as an envelope. In this "envelope" shaped version of the full size non- woven container or reduced size container, a portion of the container can be an integral flap that can close over the contents. The flap can also serve as a removable napkin.

[000127] In embodiments, the bottom can have a shape selected from the group comprising:

rectangular, square, circle, oval, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, another polygonal shape, or combinations thereof.

[000128] As an example of use for a restaurant, the full size non-woven container or "napkin bag" can be useful with to-go orders. For example, when the initial order is placed, an order receipt can be generated from a cash register. By attaching this order receipt to the full size non-woven container, in the transparent holder, the worker knows exactly what is needed in this bag without needing tape.

[000129] As each food item of the order comes down the line, the food can be packed in its appropriate spot in the food organizer in the bottom. It is very easy for the worker to verify exactly what is in the full size non-woven container and know when the food order is complete thereby reducing the number of times an inaccurate or incomplete order goes out to customers.

[000130] The at least one pocket of the full size non-woven container provides an easy access place to put condiments and/or utensils before the order is given to the customer. The full size non-woven container streamlines the order process thereby saving the restaurant time and money.

[000131] The full size non-woven container can have a messaging area to write a special order message, such as "no pickles" or for food allergies.

[000132] The full size non-woven container can have an integral "order slip" to indicate the order directly on the full size non-woven container, such as a check the box feature, if the order receipt from the cash register can't be used or if needed for special orders.

[000133] As another example, for the customer, the full size non-woven container can be useful with orders on the go. A husband, wife and two kids pull into a drive thru while on a road trip. They each order something different and the order comes out the window in record time. It is very easy for the mother to determine that the order is correct because she can look down into the full size non-woven container and see the order sorted with the food organizer. She can also check the transparent window, the messaging area and the order slip.

[000134] As another example, a father is driving the car, so he rips off one large napkin from the side of the full size non-woven container and places it in his lap.

[000135] The two children in the back of the car each have their own full size non-woven container as well. The older of the children rips off all the napkins to form a tray that sits in his lap.
