Description
- The present invention relates generally to food storage containers, more specifically but not by way of limitation, a food storage container having a bottom portion manufactured from a collapsible material wherein the bottom portion is operable to fold into the upper portion of the container.
- Portable containers for food are common in the art. Individuals utilize these containers to transport food items for various functions as well as to store leftover food items. Conventional food containers often are manufactured in two parts, a bottom portion having a defined interior volume and a lid that is operable to cover the bottom portion and prevent spillage therefrom. The storage of these conventional containers demands a significant amount of cabinet space. Additionally, these conventional container configurations have at least one portion that is routinely lost or misplaced due to a lack of organization during storage.
- One problem with conventional food containers is there inability to assist in the egression of food therefrom. Conventional containers typically have storage portions that are manufactured from a rigid material. While these containers provide storage of food disposed therein, they do not facilitate the extraction of food therefrom and the user must utilize an item such as a utensil if they desire to consume the food directly from the container. While there are items known in the art such as collapsible cups, the construction of these items are focused on facilitating the storage thereof and they are not properly constructed to assist a user in extraction of food materials disposed therein for immediate consumption without the need for utensils.
- Another problem with conventional food storage containers is their inability to accommodate various food phases. Many conventional containers are available but the current technology consists of containers that are focused on the storage of solid foods. These types of containers that are focused on solid foods are not constructed appropriately to receive liquid foods therein. Alternatively, existing containers that are constructed to receive, store and dispense liquids are not constructed so as to accommodate the same for either a solid food or a food having a paste-like consistency such as but not limited to baby food.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a food storage container that is operable to have a portion thereof that is collapsible so as to promote a reduced storage space and wherein the construction of the collapsible portion and the container itself is operable to facilitate the extraction of liquid and paste-like consistency foods therefrom and dispense immediately to the user for consumption.
- It is the object of the present invention to provide a food storage container that includes an upper portion and a lower portion wherein the lower portion is configured to be collapsible into the upper portion.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a food storage container that includes a collapsible portion in order to facilitate reduced storage space requirements.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a food storage container that includes a collapsible portion wherein the container is constructed to store and dispense foods that are either paste-like in consistency or liquids.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a food storage container that includes a collapsible portion wherein the collapsible portion collapses in a two-stage movement.
- An additional object of the present invention is to provide a food storage container operable to facilitate the storage and dispensing of a food item such as but not limited to baby food, wherein the collapsible portion has a first section and a second section.
- Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a food storage container that is operable to store and dispense a food item having a paste-like consistency that includes a rotatable lid providing access to the food contents.
- An alternative object of the present invention is to provide a food storage container having a collapsible portion operable to facilitate a reduced storage space requirement and delivery of a food item disposed therein that further includes a top ring having a lip portion operable to dispense food into the mouth of a user.
- To the accomplishment of the above and related objects the present invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Attention is called to the fact that the drawings are illustrative only. Variations are contemplated as being a part of the present invention, limited only by the scope of the claims.
- A more complete understanding of the present invention may be had by reference to the following Detailed Description and appended claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings wherein:

The lower body portion is secured toledge member 35 ofsupport ring 25 utilizing suitable durable techniques. Thelower body portion 110 includes anupper section 115 and alower section 120 that are contiguously formed having aseam 125 intermediate thereto. Thelower body portion 110 forms an interior volume suitable for storing food materials therein. Theupper section 115 is formed in an angular manner wherein theupper section 115 commencesproximate ledge member 35 and angles inward. The angle of orientation with thewall 113 of theupper section 115 and thewall 124 of thelower section 120 is approximately one hundred and forty-five degrees.Wall 124 is parallel withwall 11. This orientation has proven to be much stronger than conventional z-fold configurations or other structured configurations and prevents both unwanted collapsing of thelower body portion 110 and provides improved delivery of food during pressure application on the bottom 130. While in the preferred embodiment a preferred angle of one hundred and forty five degrees provides desired results, it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the angle orientation betweenwall 113 andwall 124 could be within one hundred and forty degrees and one hundred and fifty degrees.
