Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a front view of exterior portions of a combination meal and to-go box with its front latch (only one latch is visible in FIG. 1) in a locked, or closed, position of use locking a top lid portion onto a bottom double-walled construction insulated base member bowl portion, and showing our design;



FIG. 2 is a left side view of exterior portions of the combination meal and to-go box with both latches in a closed position;



FIG. 3 is a top view of a combination meal and to-go box similar to that of FIGS. 1 and 2, with both of its latches in a closed position;



FIG. 4 is a bottom view of an exterior double-walled construction insulated base member bowl portion of the combination meal and to-go box with both of its latches in a closed position;



FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the combination meal and to-go box with its front latch in a locked, or closed, position and shown in an alternate position of use with a hinged pivotable loop extended for grasping and carrying of the combination meal and to-go box;



FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the combination meal and to-go box showing (in order from top to bottom) a lid portion, a utensil strap portion, utensils in broken lines signifying they are not part of the claimed design but are included for illustrating the environment and position with which they may be used with the combination meal and to-go box, a utensil tray portion, a gasket portion, a shuttle lid portion (which may be opaque, or alternatively transparent), a shuttle container bowl portion (the “shuttle portion”), a divider portion, and a double-walled construction insulated base member bowl portion having latch member portions thereon;



FIG. 7 is an exploded side view of the combination meal and to-go box illustrating, among other things, how nub portions of the gasket portion align with openings in the utensil tray portion;



FIG. 8 is an exploded rear view of the combination meal and to-go box;



FIG. 9 is a bottom perspective view of the combination meal and to-go box with its front latch in a locked, or closed, position of use and shown in a position of use being held by a user's hand shown in broken lines with fingers gripping along indented grippable features along the bottom of the combination meal and to-go box. The broken lines showing the user's hand are to illustrate environment and form no part of the claimed design;



FIG. 10 is a perspective left side view of the combination meal and to-go box with its latches in locked, or closed, positions of use and showing the combination meal and to-go box in an alternate position of use hanging from a rope and a carabiner hooked to a pivotable loop on a latch portion of the combination meal and to-go box. The broken lines showing the carabiner and a rope from which it hangs are to illustrate environment and form no part of the claimed design;



FIG. 11 is a partially exploded rear perspective view of the combination meal and to-go box with the rear latch slide portion in an open position disengaged from a hook on the lid portion allowing removal of the lid portion to also show the nubs of the gasket portion poking through the openings in the utensil tray portion;



FIG. 12 is a partially exploded front perspective view of the combination meal and to-go box with the latch slide portion in an open position disengaged from the hook on the lid portion allowing removal of the lid portion to also show the nubs of the gasket portion poking through the openings in the utensil tray portion;



FIG. 13 is a top view of the double-walled construction insulated base member bowl portion of the combination meal and to-go box and showing weld nut-type mounts in broken lines on end wall portions of the double-walled construction insulated base member bowl portion. The broken lines of the weld nut-type mounts form no part of the claimed design;



FIG. 14 is a perspective front view of the double-walled construction insulated base member portion of FIG. 13, again with the weld nut-type mounts in broken lines on end wall portions of the double-walled construction insulated base member bowl portion indicating that the weld nut-type mounts form no part of the claimed design;



FIG. 15 is a top view of the top lid portion of the combination meal and to-go box;
