Abstract:
An oriental food takeout box and plate assembly and method of folding provides a unitary body, which is interchangeable between a planar eating surface configuration and a takeout box configuration along a folding and unfolding path. The takeout box configuration is defined by two opposing side faces with each side face forming at least one side container aperture, two opposing lateral faces, an enclosed bottom face, an inner upper face opposing the enclosed bottom face and defining two parallel spaced-apart slits forming a loop, and an outer upper face defining a loop aperture with the loop protruding therethrough. At least one utensil passes through the loop to fasten the outer upper face to inner upper face, so as to retain the unitary body in the takeout box configuration. Side container apertures form in the side faces to retain side containers that contains a condiment for consuming with the oriental food.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for folding an oriental food takeout box and plate assembly between a takeout box configuration and a substantially planar eating surface configuration, comprising:\n providing a unitary body being interchangeable between a planar eating surface configuration and a takeout box configuration, the takeout box configuration defined by two opposing side faces with each side face having a tab extending therefrom and forming at least one side container aperture retaining at least one side container, two opposing lateral faces, an enclosed bottom face, an inner upper face opposing the enclosed bottom face and defining two parallel spaced-apart slits forming a loop; providing at least one utensil disposed through the loop, the utensil fastening the outer upper face to the inner upper face, whereby the utensil retains the unitary body in the takeout box configuration; slidably removing the at least one utensil from the loop; disengaging the outer upper face from the inner upper face; disengaging the tab from between the lateral faces and the inner upper face; folding the side faces outwardly until planar with the bottom face; folding the lateral faces outwardly until planar with the bottom face; folding the inner and outer upper faces outwardly until planar with the lateral faces, whereby the planar eating surface configuration is formed; accessing oriental food from the planar faces with the at least one utensil; and dipping the oriental food in the at least one side container disposed in the at least one side container aperture.
