Appl. No.:

09/933023

Inventors:

Ronald Danko - Pittsford NY, US

WEGMAN'S FOOD MARKETS, INC.

International Classification:

B65D001/34

B65D005/50

US Classification:

206/756000, 206/564000

Abstract:

A container assembly for candying display-packaged delicate baked goods includes a container having opposing side walls interconnected with opposing end walls, a bottom interconnected with each of the side and end walls, a top, and an interior. A retaining tray has at least one aperture therein, and is removably received in the container interior. The retaining tray is dimensioned such that the container side and end walls restrict movement of the retaining tray in a direction perpendicular to the container side and end walls. The retaining tray includes at least one spacing member extending therefrom and spacing the retaining tray from an underlying surface. A display package includes a pan portion and a top removably secured to the pan portion. The pan portion includes a projection extending outwardly therefrom, and is removably received within the aperture until the projection contacts the retaining tray. The projection is disposed on the pan portion such that the display package is suspended from the retaining tray within the aperture above the underlying surface, thereby restricting the display package from movement in a direction perpendicular to the container side and end walls and in a direction toward the bottom of the container.
