Definitions
- the present invention is directed to an article of tableware for personal consumption of food items soaked in fluid.
- This specification concerns a device for soaking multiples of a food item of specific size in a fluid for immediate human consumption.
- the qualifier, "of specific size” means the food item is normally consumed one at a time and is produced with consistency in its dimensions.
- the terms “cookie” and “milk” are used throughout this specification as proxies for the food item of specific size and the fluid. Wherever “cookie” or “milk” appears, it should be understood to mean “food item of specific size” or “fluid”, respectively.
- the specific size may differ from one embodiment to another and is referenced as the "intended cookie size”.
- the vessel traditionally used to eat cookies soaked in milk is the cup. Milk is held in the cup, and the cookie is introduced to the milk.
- One common method is for the user to hold the cookie while dipping it in the milk.
- Another method which provides more thorough soaking of the cookie, is for the user to place the cookie in the milk and scoop it out with a spoon once it has absorbed the requisite amount of milk.
- Each thoroughly soaked cookie is then eaten, and the next cookie is placed into the cup. This method requires the user to wait for each cookie to be thoroughly soaked and removed from the cup before the next cookie is introduced. If the user introduces a second cookie while a first cookie is still soaking, then the user is faced with the challenge of removing the first cookie from beneath the second cookie.
- a bowl Another type of vessel that can be used to eat cookies and milk is a bowl. It allows cookies to be simultaneously soaked, but it has other disadvantages.
- a bowl requires a larger quantity of milk to achieve an adequate milk depth. While the cookies may be conveniently removed from the bowl, doing it in sequence requires tracking the location of each cookie in the bowl. As the milk depth becomes low, the user must lift one side of the bowl in an awkward and generally not very effective effort to give full milk exposure to the cookies.
- Prior inventions relating to the immediate consumption of food items soaked in fluid can be divided into three categories: utensils which hold cookies as they are dipped in milk, bowls with separation features, and bowls with consolidation features.
- Bowls with separation features are directed toward eating granular food items in fluid, "granular" meaning that it is normally scooped into the mouth in multiples.
- US Patent Application 2011/0284119 discloses a cereal bowl which includes a main bowl portion and an ancillary portion or trough integral with the side of the bowl that is shaped to receive cereal or other food as a staging location before de food is maneuvered into the main bowl portion.
- UK Patent application 2 265 816 describes a similar cereal bowl containing a transverse wall to separated the cereal part and the milk part.
- US Patent 2 207 417 also discloses a cereal bowl comprising a bowl portion and a cereal receiving hopper portion from which cereals are moved to the bowl portion containing milk. Their stated objective is to keep the food item dry until the user is ready to mix it with the fluid, not to control the soaking process. They all have varying degrees of the disadvantages described above for bowls.
- Bowls with consolidation features are directed toward controlling small quantities of granular food items, such as peas or corn. They are not effective in overcoming the disadvantages of bowls with respect to soaking of cookies in milk.
- My device and its method of use have advantages which overcome the difficulties in the prior art.
- the user is able to soak multiple cookies simultaneously without losing track of the sequence that they were introduced to the milk.
- the user is able to conveniently remove the soaked cookies in sequence.
- the amount of milk used is similar to the amount that would be used in a cup for the same purpose, but the time it takes to consume a satisfying quantity of thoroughly soaked cookies is drastically reduced.
- accommodation refers to a condition in which lateral movement of a single food item is restricted, and longitudinal movement is limited by the number of food items accommodated without the food items overlapping. This definition applies when the food items are oriented with their smallest dimension vertical. Accommodation may include allowance for variability of the food item size and clearance for insertion of a utensil, such as a spoon, around the food item.
- FIG. 1 and Fig 2 One embodiment of my device, shown in Fig. 1 and Fig 2 , is a vessel having a scooping end 10 and an entry end 20 and having a length to width ratio of at least two to one, with the width sized to accommodate the intended cookie size.
- the scooping end 10 has a level floor 14 which is essentially level over a longitudinal distance commensurate with the intended cookie size.
- the scooping end 10 is partially bounded by a wall 30 which at that end resembles a circumferential half of the wall of a coffee cup, shortened in height by about a third. Where that part of the wall 30 opens toward the level floor 14, the laterally opposed sides of the wall 30 continue longitudinally to the entry end 20 of the vessel.
- the upper edge of the wall 30 is its rim 32.
- the sloped floor 24 is sloped, aligning with the level floor 14 toward the scooping end 10 and aligning with the rim 32 at the entry end 20.
- the level floor 14, the sloped floor 24 and the wall 30 are merged to form a vessel body 50 which is capable of holding a fluid.
- a support structure 26 is affixed to the underside of the vessel body 50 for support at the entry end 20.
- the device may be constructed of any material suitable for tableware, including combinations of materials. Suitable materials include fired clay, glass, plastic, wood, metals, paper, and composites. One method of manufacturing in clay is as follows.
- Slip casting, ram pressing and pressure casting are other well understood methods that can be employed for manufacturing in clay. Manufacturing in other materials can be accomplished with methods that are well known in their respective arts.
- the “desired quantity" of milk or fluid refers to the amount of fluid that is expected to be consumed by a user during one consumption session. For a given intended cookie size, a person in the culinary arts would generally recognize a reasonable range for the desired quantity of fluid.
- a user employs my device for the purpose of eating food items of specific size soaked in a fluid.
- the user sits at a table with the device placed upon the table in front of the user. Initially the device is filled with a desired quantity of milk.
- the user may insert the first cookie into the milk from either end, but it should be guided to the scooping end 10 while it is floating on the milk. If the cookie is not buoyant in the milk, then the sloped floor 24 will guide it toward the scooping end 10, and the user may help it along with a utensil.
- the user inserts the second cookie into the milk at the entry end 20. If the device is sufficiently long with respect to the size of the cookies, the user may optionally introduce the third cookie or more at the entry end 20 before extracting the first cookie.
- the user When the first cookie has soaked in the milk to the user's satisfaction, the user extracts it at the scooping end 10 with a spoon or other appropriate utensil and eats it. The user then guides the second cookie to the scooping end 10 and inserts the next cookie at the entry end 20. The process of extracting from the scooping end 10 and inserting at the entry end 20 is successively repeated, which provides a time efficient method to consume a fulfilling number of cookies. Once the milk is reduced to a level where it will no longer accommodate multiple cookies, the user may either soak the final few cookies one at a time at the scooping end 10 or simply drink the remainder of the milk.
- FIG. 3 and Fig. 4 An example not according to the invention which incorporates a few of many possible optional features is shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 .
- This example includes the features described above for Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 , which are identified by the same reference numerals. Their descriptions remain the same, except as noted here.
- the wall 30 is drafted at a slight angle, which can facilitate manufacture by slip casting or ram pressing and can provide clearance for a spoon to be inserted under a cookie.
- Two protrusions 34 are built into the wall 30 to provide additional clearance for a spoon and a place for the user to rest the spoon when not in use.
- the sloped floor 24 does not rise all the way to the rim 32.
- a ridge 22 is formed into the entry end 20 to enable mating of the devices when one is stacked upon another.
- the ridge 22 contacts the support structure 26 of the stacked device to prevent sliding.
- the draft of the wall 30 allows mating of the two devices at the entry end 10, thereby completing a means for stacking.
