Abstract

The present invention renews in a cover for some open containers, for example, for sealing plates with food. Wherein, the present invention refers to disposable cover for “one time use”, and for non disposable cover for “multiple time use”. wherein, such cover consist: some sealing sheet section designated for sealing and covering plates, for example some nylon, or silicon sheets; and of some flexible elastic and extendible sections, such as simple low cost rubber bands, or silicon; wherein, at list some section of such elastic sections are pre-attached to such sealing sheet section; and at list some section of such elastic sections is loose and not connected to such sealing sheet section. Wherein, such flexible and extendible sections and the cover of the present invention enable the user to match such cover to different size and shape of containers and plates for the purpose of covering such containers that contains some food.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Technical Field

The present invention relates generally to the food storages in general and more particular to an adaptable cover fitted to different size containers and food, designated for food preserving freshening and preventing contaminations for extending of the life time period of such food and protecting it from contamination.

Background of the Invention

Food packaging and preservation, and food packaging and preservation in containers of different sizes and shapes have been in use for many years. However, such containers usually include plastic covers, such as polyethylene, provided in sufficient dimension to overly each specific container opening. Use of such container covers is common for both perishable and nonperishable items. While these covers are beneficial in many respects, they are not without room for improvement.
A common problem with existing container covers is their high cost and the large storage space they need. Another common problem with existing container covers is the lack of an effective seal between the cover and the container. This is especially problematic with regard to food storage. This is mostly problematic with regard to mobile food from place to place; sandwiches for example, et cetera.
Depending on the size of the container cover relative to the container, the conventional container covers are vulnerable to slippage and inadvertent removal from the container. Any attempt at preserving freshness or protecting the contents of the container from exposure to various elements is futile where the container cover does not actually cover the container, but instead, slips off the container. Even when such conventional covers remain appropriately positioned on a container, their sealing capabilities are limited.
Consequently, where a substantial or hermetic seal is desired, as opposed to where air or moisture ventilation is desired, the goal of preserving the freshness of perishable items is less likely to be realized with conventional disposable covers.
Therefore, the goal of the present invention is to enable a low cost simple use seal for different size of container and for food with no container, and in the same time to enable such covers with minimum storage space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description present embodiments of the invention and are intended to provide an overview or framework for understanding the nature and character of the invention as it is claimed. The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated into and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate various embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles and operations of the invention but not to limit the invention to these descriptions only.
The present invention renews in a cover for some open containers, for example, for sealing plates with food. Wherein, the present invention refers to disposable cover for “one time use”, and for non disposable cover for “multiple time use”. wherein, such cover consist: some sealing sheet section designated for sealing and covering plates, for example some nylon, or silicon sheets; and of some flexible elastic and extendible sections, such as simple low cost rubber bands, or silicon; wherein, at list some section of such elastic sections are pre-attached to such sealing sheet section; and at list some section of such elastic sections is loose and not connected to such sealing sheet section. Wherein, such flexible and extendible sections and the cover of the present invention enable the user to match such cover to different size and shape of containers and plates for the purpose of covering such containers that contains some food. Wherein, matching such nylon, fore example, on some containers, enables the closing and covering of the top opening of such containers by stretching such rubber band, for example, at some other sections of such containers and plates, enabling sealing of the container opening section, for example, in one implementation of the present invention.
Wherein, in such way, the user can seals some different size and shape of containers, and enables some optimum fast sealing of food in such contains, plates, or bowls in various forms and size of containers, such as in the present invention for the purpose of preserving the food freshness and preventing it from contamination.
Wherein, the present invention farther renews in a cover for an open containers, for example for sealing plates with food, and also for sealing bare food. Wherein, the present invention refers to disposable “one time use” cover which consists of at list one nylon sheet section, for example, and of some flexible elastic and extendible band, such as simple low cost rubber band for example.
Wherein, the present invention farther refers to some “non disposable covers”, for “multiple time use”, such as for some silicone sheets and silicone grabbing strips for example.
Therefore, the goal of the present invention is to enable a low cost simple use seal for different size of containers and for food with no container, such as for sandwiches for example, and in the same time to enable such covers with minimum storage space and law cost.
