Description
- This invention relates to the field of storage containers and more particularly to an improved storage container suitable for storing moisture containing objects.
- Storage containers are known, typically having a bowl or a base that defines a storage space and a separate lid that seal contents within the space of the container to keep the contents from spilling or drying out while also limiting exposure to biological organisms such as spores and bacteria. In many existing storage containers, the lid secures to an upper or top edge of the base and creates an air tight seal of the storage space, often used for storing food.
- An example is a typical plastic storage container sized to completely contain a sandwich. Once a sandwich is placed within this type of storage container, the lid is fitted over the opening, forming an air-tight seal so that the sandwich remains moist and has limited contact with spores, bacteria, etc.
- The above described containers function very well for many types of contents, including sandwiches, leftovers, meats, vegetables, etc., but when certain types of food are stored in such containers, excess moisture from these types of food percolates to the bottom of these containers, resulting in the food becoming partially submerged within a liquid. For example, when melon pieces are stored in an existing storage container, melon juices (e.g. watermelon) excrete from the melon piece and percolate down to the bottom of the existing storage container, resulting in the melon pieces at the lowest elevation of the storage container being in contact with the melon juices. This often leads to the melon pieces at the lowest elevation of the storage container becoming soggy.
- What is needed is a container that will segregate certain content items from any liquid that typically drains from such content items.
- In one embodiment, a container is disclosed including an outer container that has an outer container base and outer container walls extending from the outer container base. The outer container walls have a rim forming a closed geometric shape. A ledge is formed on an inside surface of the outer container walls below the rim. An inner container has an inner container base and inner container walls. The inner container walls extend from the inner container base. The inner container has at least one aperture for conducting fluid from within the inner container to outside the inner container. The inner container walls have a lip. The inner container fits within the outer container and the lip engages with the ledge, holding the inner container base distal from the outer container base and forming a gap between the inner container base and the outer container base.
- In another embodiment, a method of preventing cut fruit from getting soggy is disclosed including providing the container previously described, placing the cut fruit in the inner container, then placing the inner container into the outer container, thereby engaging the lip to the ledge, such that the inner container base rests distal from the outer container base. Now, the lid with the rim is engaged and the container is stored upright such that the outer container base is closer to a center of gravity than the rim. As liquids emanating from the cut fruit, the liquids percolate through at least one aperture in the inner container and the liquids pool in the gap between the inner container base and the outer container base.
- In another embodiment, a container is disclosed including an outer container that has a substantially rectangular outer container base and substantially rectangular outer container walls. Each of the outer container walls extends from a different side of the outer container base. The outer container walls have a rim, also forming a closed, substantially rectangular shape. A ledge is formed on an inside surface of the outer container walls below the rim. An inner container has a substantially rectangular inner container base and substantially rectangular inner container walls. Each of the inner container walls extending from a different side of the inner container base. The inner container base has at least one aperture for conducting fluid from within the inner container to outside the inner container and the inner container walls have a lip. The inner container fits within the outer container and the lip engages with the ledge, holding the inner container base distal from the outer container base forming a gap between the inner container base and the outer container base.
- The invention can be best understood by those having ordinary skill in the art by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a cut-away view of a container of the prior art. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a cut-away view of the improved container. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a top plan view of the inner container of the improved container. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a top plan view of a base and rim of the improved container. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an exploded view of the improved container and lid. - Reference will now be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the following detailed description, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements in all figures.
- Although the improved container is described with respect to certain content items that are particularly suited for use with the improved container, any type of content item, food or non-food, is anticipated.
- Although the improved container is shown in the following examples as being of basically hexahedron in shape, there is no limitation on the size or shape of the improved container as for example, cube shape or cylindrical shape, etc.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a cut-away view of acontainer 10 of the prior art is shown.Typical storage containers 10 of the prior art includeside walls 12, abottom 13 and aremovable lid 14 which seals to a rim of thewalls 12 by, as shown, asnap edge 11. When atypical storage containers 10 of the prior art is used to store high-moisture content food 16 such as melons, berries, strawberries, grapes, and the like, excess moisture orjuice 18 is emitted from the high-moisture content food 16 and percolates to the bottom of thetypical storage containers 10 of the prior art. Any high-moisture content food 16 resting in the excess moisture orjuice 18 absorbs some or all of the excess moisture orjuice 18, potentially becoming soggy, especially when left standing in the excess moisture orjuice 18 for extended periods of time. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , a cut-away view of the improvedcontainer 20 is shown. The improvedstorage containers 20 includesside walls 22, abottom 13 and aremovable lid 14 which hasedges 11 that engage with an upper rim of thewalls 22 by any way known in the art. It is preferred, though not required, that theedges 11 of thelid 14 engage with the upper rim of thewalls 22 in an airtight manner and that the upper rim of the walls 22 (and the walls 22) form a closed geometric shape such as a rectangle in the examples shown, a square, a triangle, a circle, etc. - The
side walls 22 include a ledge 26 for supporting asub-container 28. In some embodiments, theledge 26 runs the entire perimeter of theside walls 22, while in other embodiments, theledge 26 is intermittent, made of severalunconnected ledges 26 at multiple locations on theside walls 22. In such, it is preferred that there are sufficient numbers ofunconnected ledges 26 to support the sub-container in a stabile manner. It is also preferred that the ledge 26 orunconnected ledges 26 are equidistant from a top edge of theside walls 22. - An
inner container 28 haswalls 33 that fit within thewalls 22 of the outer container. Theinner container 28 has alip 30 that rests upon theledge 26 on theside walls 22. In this way, theinner container 28 rests on theledge 26 when theinner container 28 is installed in thecontainer 20. The height of theside walls 33 of theinner container 28 is less than the height of theouter container walls 22 so that theinner container 28 fits within theouter container 20 and thelid 14 is not impeded from closing when theinner container 28 is within thecontainer 20 and is held by theledge 26. In this way, theinner container base 32 is suspended above and away from theouter container base 13, providing a gap between the two (holding theinner container base 32 distal from the outer container base 13). There are apertures or holes 34 (or any type of opening or openings) in theinner container base 32 and/orinner container walls 33, such that fluids orliquids 18 that seep from the contents 16 (e.g. fruit, melon, watermelon, etc.) will percolated through the opening(s) 34 and pool at the bottom of thecontainer 20 when thecontainer 20 is held in a horizontal position. Since theliquids 18 pool at the bottom of thecontainer 20, between the base of theinner container 32 and theouter container base 13, theliquids 18 are kept segregated from thecontents 16. This helps to keep the contents 16 (e.g. fruit, melon, watermelon, etc.) from soaking in theliquid 18 and potentially becoming soggy over time. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , a top plan view ofinner container 28 of the improvedcontainer 20 is shown. In this example, a top surface of theinner container lip 30 and theinner container base 32 is visible. Also in this example,several apertures 34 are formed/cut in thebase 32. Although shown as a certain quantity and shape ofapertures 34, any quantity and shape ofapertures 34 is anticipated including one aperture. In some embodiments, thebase 32 includes a mesh for providing theapertures 34 such as in a sieve, etc. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a top plan view of abase 13 and rim of theimproved container 20 is shown. Thebase 13 is continuous to properly hold any anticipated contents within theimproved container 20. In this example, theledge 26 is a closed shape that is similar to the shape formed by thewalls 22, though in other embodiments, it is anticipated that theledge 26 be discontinuous segments such as one segment of aledge 26 on eachside 22, one segment of aledge 26 in each corner of thesides 22, etc. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , an exploded view of theimproved container 20 andlid 14 is shown. This example shows how theinner container 28 fits within theouter container walls 22 and thelip 30 rests upon theledge 26. Since thesides 33 of theinner container 28 are shorter than thesides 22 of theimproved container 20, thebase 32 of theinner container 28 does not contact thebase 13, thereby providing a gap between the base 32 of theinner container 28 and the base 13 where liquids from contents held within theinner container 28 flow and collect during storage. Thelid 14 covers and seals theimproved container 20 while the lip of theinner container 28 rests on theledge 26. In some embodiments, when thelid 14 engages with the rim of thecontainer 20, thelid 14 forms an air tight seal, preventing air from entering thecontainer 20 under typical atmospheric conditions where people generally live. - Equivalent elements can be substituted for the ones set forth above such that they perform in substantially the same manner in substantially the same way for achieving substantially the same result.
- It is believed that the system and method as described and many of its attendant advantages will be understood by the foregoing description. It is also believed that it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the components thereof without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention or without sacrificing all of its material advantages. The form herein before described being merely exemplary and explanatory embodiment thereof. It is the intention of the following claims to encompass and include such changes.
