ABSTRACT:
A container for storing, transporting and displaying a caramel apple, or the like. The container is a single molded piece of plastic, with a pair of pivotal sections and a base section pivotally mounting the pair of pivotal sections. Each pivotal section is formed with an outwardly projecting half-shell, which half-shells cooperate when the two sections are in their closed abutting position, to form a substantially frustro-conically shaped hollow enclosure in which is stored the caramel apple. The base section is provided with an upstanding hollow support on the upper surface of which rests the caramel apple. Each pivotal section is also provided with a lowermost recess or cutout for nestling therein approximately half of the circumferential surface of the upstanding hollow support when the two pivotal sections are in their closed, abutting position. The base section also includes a pair of end wedge-members, each having a pair of oppositely-sloping surfaces, which sloping surfaces mate with similarly sloped surface sections extending from the lowermost edge surface of each pivotal section, in order to distribute and redirect load forces.
