Definitions

  • the invention relates to food containers, which do not always contain utensils due to the extra packaging costs being prohibitive and the container design not being suitable.
  • 'utensil' is intended to describe any implement which is used for the purpose of consuming a food and or liquid or medicine etc, for example a fork, spoon, knife or chopstick are all utensils, and may equally be suitable for the storage of liquid or foodstuff within the handle or main body of the utensil.
  • the present invention relates to a development for a container and is particularly suitable for a foodstuff and or liquid, the container having a mouth sealed by means of a foil adhered to the upper rim of the container.
  • Such containers are commonly used for foodstuffs that are consumed in their entirety as soon as the containers are opened so that there is no need for the containers to be resealed.
  • foodstuffs are yoghurt, salads, pasta, desserts etc, and quick snacks such as soups and noodles.
  • Disposable utensils are well known, as indeed are food containers, however the object of this invention is to provide a utensil through making one of the food or liquid chambers within the container utensil shaped.
  • This chamber is specifically designed so that consumable products can be stored within it, and because the chamber is utensil shaped it may be detached from the other chamber and used as a utensil to consume the food within the container or utensil.
  • the utensil shaped food and or liquid chamber may also hinge on the main food container, or detach from the main food container and therefore empty the contents of the utensil shaped chamber into the main food container, prior to the utensil being removed.
  • the invention allows for extra marketing possibilities and saves on materials, which would be required in the manufacture of a utensil.
  • a container for food stuffs comprising at least two compartments for receiving food stuffs and one membrane extending across both these two compartments to seal food stuffs separately: in each compartment, wherein at least one of these two compartments containing foods stuffs forms part of a utensil for eating said food stuffs and wherein the utensil is arranged to be separated from the at least one other compartment, characterised in that the compare of the utensil contains a food stuff intended to be added to the foodstuff in the at least one other compartment and wherein the at least one other compartment is not shaped or intended to be used as a utensil.
  • the two compartments sealed by the membrane may be separated by a linear flat area dividing the container into a first section and a second section such that the container can be folded along the flat area so that one compartment is inverted upon one other compartment.
  • Figure 1 shows a food and or liquid container which may comprise of a main food and or liquid chamber 1 and a secondary food and or liquid chamber 3 which may be shaped as a utensil or may be specifically shaped as a spoon.
  • the food and or liquid container may be sealed with a lid 11 or suitable material which may be sealed or adhere or clip to the food and or liquid container rim 7.
  • the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber 3 may be hinged 6 or attached to the main chamber 1 which allows the consumer to empty the spoon shaped food and or liquid chambers 3 contents into the main food and or liquid chamber 1 after the lid or foil 11 has been removed.
  • the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber 3 may be removed from the main food and or liquid chamber 1 and used to consume the combined foodstuffs and or liquid now held within food chamber 1.
  • Figure 2 shows a similar food and or liquid container with the lid or foil removed exposing the foodstuff and or liquid 18 and 4 contained within food and or liquid chambers 1, 3 and a rim 7 surrounding the food and or liquid containers mouth.
  • the mouth may be covered by means of a plastics or metal foil 11 which is sealed or bonded to the rim 7.
  • Figure 3 shows a similar food and or liquid container as described within Fig 1 and 2 .
  • the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber 3 is mounted on the top of the main and or liquid food chamber 1 and may pivot or hinge on the joining edge or points 14 which may be between the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber and main food and or liquid chamber 1 .
  • the handle of the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber 3 may comprise of ridges or another chamber 2, which gives the handle strength and rigidity, but may also be used for storing further foodstuffs and or liquid.
  • the lid or foil may comprise of one or more flaps 25 which allows the consumer to peel back the lid from the food and or liquid container 1, 3.
  • the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber may incorporate a thin film 15 covering which seals the exposed back of the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber 3 for hygiene purposes the consumer may peel this film off prior to using the spoon shaped food and or liquid chamber 3.
