ABSTRACT:
A disposable support for food articles such as tacos is made from a paper-like material folded and interlocked to form a generally triangular shape with an opening in upright inverted V-shaped faces of the support that forms a cradle for holding the food article. The disposable support is formed from a one-piece foldable sheet folded into three sections and having a first panel, a second panel adjacent the first panel, a first fold separating the first and second panels, a third panel adjacent the second panel, and a second fold separating the second and third panels. An elongated opening extends through the first and second panels across the first fold. An interlocking tab at the free end of the third panel is arranged so that when the sheet is folded across the first and second folds into flat form and the third panel is folded inside the first and second panels, the tab is located adjacent the first fold above slotted openings formed in the first and second panels by the large opening therein. The paper-like material has a memory so that when pressure is released from the flat form sheet, it causes the third panel to spring forward toward the first panel and the tab to interlock with the edges of the slotted opening in the first panel so that the third panel moves downwardly rapidly toward the bottom of the slotted opening to form a stabilizing base for a triangular supporting structure in which the first and second panels form the opposite sides of an inverted V-shaped support on opposite sides of a cradle formed by the slotted openings therein.
