- the first gasket will be discussed in greater detail below.
- FIGS. 3A-C are various perspective views of a chambered storage insert 1 12 of the ergonomic leakproof travel container according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the chambered storage insert is revealeded when the outer and inner lids are in an opened position.
- the chambered storage insert is removable and configured to store and transport at least two types of foods and/or liquids depending on the internal configurations.
- the chambered storage insert comprises a divider 1 16 separating the chambered storage insert into a first and second storage chamber 114 and 1 5 respectively.
- the divider includes space 1 17 further separating the first and second storage chambers, this helps insulate the chambers from each other which is especially beneficial when hot and cold food items are stored in respective containers. It should be understood, in alternative embodiments, multiple dividers may be present permitting more storage chambers.
- the chambered storage insert comprises a body wall 113 sized and shaped to press fit into the body member. A second gasket 118 fit in the body wall is provided, and will be discussed in greater detail below.

- FIG. 4A is a front section view of the ergon omic leakproof travel container. Referring to FIG. 4 A, divider 1 16 and space 1 17 can be clearly seen. Also in this view, it can be seen that when outer lid 102 is in a closed position, a portion of the outer lid is pressed against inner lid 106 at pressure point 131. As previously mentioned the latch member secures the outer lid in a closed position. When the latch is secure, the outer lid is pressed against inner lid generating two leakproof seals with the first and second gaskets 1 10 and 118. Further details of the latch and gaskets will be discussed in greater detail below,
- FIG. 4B is a side section view of the ergonomic leakproof travel container. Referring now to FIG. 4B, the details of the latch member are illustrated.

- the first gasket provides a first leakproof seal between rim 101B and an inner horizontal surface 128 via the first protrusion, a second leakproof seal between inner surface 120 and inner vertical surface 129 via the second protrusion, and a third leakproof seal between the rim and rib 106B.
- the shape and construction of flange 106 A of the inner lid creates cavity 125 having the inner horizontal and inner vertical surfaces.
- the rib located on the underside of the flange on the inner horizontal surface helps compress the first gasket against the rim of the body member.
- one rib is provided, however it is understood that more than one rib may be provided to add pressure on the first gasket between the rim of the body member.
- the first gasket further comprises a plurality of locking caps 1 1 1 positioned through the plurality of holes configured to hol d the first gasket in place as well as to prevent the first gasket from sticking to the body member when the first and second lid are in an opened position.
- the second gasket comprises a third protrusion 121 and fourth protrusion 122.
- the second gasket provides a fourth leakproof seal between a top surface 130 of the body wall of the chambered storage insert and a lower rim 106C of the inner lid, and a fifth leakproof seal between inner surface 120 and the outer surface of the body wall of chambered storage insert via the third protrusion.
- the fourth protrusion is inserted into slot 119 located on the top surface of the body wall of the chambered storage insert, this keeps the second gasket in place when the chambered storage insert is removed from the body member during use.
- the second gasket is combined with the chambered storage insert via overmolding.
- all the structural components of the invention are constructed from a rigid BPA-free plastic.
- the rigid BPA-free plastic is a food grade copolyester plastic, such as Tritan* ' from Eastman Chemical.

- the first and second gaskets are constructed from a food-grade silicone.
- the first and second gaskets are made from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). A variety of colors may be used, but since the intended use is for feeding infants and small children a pink or blue shade is preferred.
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the ergonomic leakproof travel container with both the inner and outer lid in an open position according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- both the inner and outer lid is in a completely open position.
- This is a particular advantage of the present invention, as in this position when the lids are completely open and extended backwards touching a surface (not illustrated) the container is resting on, the lids act as a counterbalance keeping the container upright.
- the positioned and angle of the plurality of feet acts in conjunction with the lids preventing the container from tipping when on a fiat surface. This allows a user to use the container and removable utensil to remove any stored food as well as placing the removable utensil inside the container without the container tipping over.
- the labels such as left, right, front, back, top, bottom, fonvard, reverse, clockwise, counter clockwise, up, down, or other similar terms such as upper, lower, aft, fore, vertical, horizontal, oblique, proximal, distal, parallel, perpendicular, transverse, longitudinal, etc. have been used for convenience purposes only and are not intended to imply any particular fixed direction or orientation. Instead, they are used to reflect relative locations and/or directions/orientations between various portions of an object.
