Description
FOOD CONTAINER WITH VENTS ON HANDLES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Technical Field The invention relates to food containers, particularly to a food container with vents.
Related Art Food containers are usually used for holding food such as vegetable or fruit.
However, when food held in a container is attached by water, deterioration or putridity of the food is easy to occur because of long-term contact with water. In addition, if vegetable or fruit is put in a container for a long time, water on the vegetable or fruit will be vaporized to condense into water droplets on an inner wall of the container. The food in the container will be spoiled soon when the water droplets fall down onto the food.
Moreover, some of currently available food containers have been provided with vents on their covers to overcome the above problem. However, a venting structure on a cover usually protrudes from a surface of the cover to cause unevenness of the cover. This makes such containers cannot be stably stacked. In addition, vents on a cover may be blocked by the food in the container, so this causes the problem on venting.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect, the invention is to provide a food container with vents on handles, which can remove moisture or prevent moisture from condensing in the box to keep the food in the box fresh.
Accordingly, the food container of the invention includes a box and a cover.
The box includes a box wall and a receiving room. Two opposite sides of the box wall are provided with a pair of handle portions. An upper portion of each bent section is formed with a venting space communicating with the receiving room. The cover is removably fastened to the box and includes a cover plate, a pair of handle lids and a pair of sliding seals.
The handle lids can be fixed to the handle portions to cover the venting space. Each handle lid is provided with vents. The sliding seals are separately disposed in the handle lids to be capable of selectively cloaking the vents.
In another aspect, the invention is to provide a food container with vents on handles, whose cover can make multiple food containers stably stacked on each other.
The food container of the invention provides a handle portions with a bent section. The cover plate is provided with handle lids for gripping the handle portions. The handle lid is provided with vents and a sliding seal which can selectively cloak the vents.
When the sliding seal exposes the vents, moisture can flow to the outside to avoid condensation of moisture.
Accordingly, food in the container can keep fresh. Further, the cover plate of the invention has a recess for being stacked by another container. This is very convenient for users.
