Abstract

The cover of the inside container is firmly fixed on the sides of the exterior container. When the empty space between both containers is filled-up with any type of freezing liquid, an ice layer is created and preserves everything in the inside container for an unlimited period of time. A plastic membrane is inserted into a groove all around the inside portion of the external container. The liquid infiltrates in the groove above the membrane and when placed into a freezer nothing could affect or infect what is underneath the ice sealant.

Description

    DESCRIPTION
  • Types of containers that are inserted one into another. The cover of the inside container is firmly fixed on the sides of the exterior container, thus creating an empty space around the inside container. The short plastic stick connecting the cover of the inside container to the side of the external container becomes the filling line. When the empty space between both containers is filled-up above the filling line with any type of freezing liquid (water, apple juice, grape juice, etc.), the inside container being totally submerged in freezing liquid when placed in a freezer, an ice layer is created and preserves everything in the inside container for an unlimited period of time. In order to preserve everything inside both containers for a lifetime (food and the freezing liquid above the filling line) a plastic membrane is inserted into a groove all around the inside portion of the external container. Above that same membrane, there is another groove all around the inside portion of the external container. When liquid is poured over the membrane, the liquid infiltrates in the groove above the membrane and when placed into a freezer nothing could affect or infect what is underneath the ice sealant.
