Definitions
- This invention relates to food storage devices and, more particularly, to containers for keeping food warm and moist.
- the apparatus of the invention comprises a substantial pouch that bounds an insulated and substantially water impermeable food-warming chamber.
- the pouch includes opposing substantially coextensive lips capable of being moved apart for providing food passage to the warming chamber and for providing a partial vapor lock for the warming chamber.
- Warm food such as warm tortillas and sweet and savory bread and bread-like food give off water vapor.
- the partial vapor lock allows water vapor to pass between the lips, which inhibits moisture from building up in the warming chamber and the food stored therein from becoming soggy. Because the vapor lock is only partial, it also ensures that the food stored in the warming chamber remains moist.
- the warming chamber is insulated with insulating structure.
- the insulating structure comprises a substantial pouch formed of joined superimposed layers of cloth and insulating material.
- the insulating structure comprises opposing and partially joined insulators each comprising joined superimposed layers of cloth and insulating material.
- a closure is provided for actively and partially coupling together the lips. The closure comprises an engagement element supported by one of the lips and an opposing and detachably engagable complemental engagement element supported by the other of the lips.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of apparatus for keeping food warm and moist
- FIG. 2 is a top view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 4 is a top view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 shown as it would appear equipped with indicia;
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmented perspective view of a closure for an opening of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view along line 6 - 6 of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of apparatus 10 for storing food and for keeping it warm and moist without letting it get soggy, in accordance with the invention.
- apparatus 10 is comprised of a substantial pouch 11 and insulating structure 12 that are together pliant and easily manipulated by hand and washable.
- pouch 11 is a general bag or baglike item comprising a substantially continuous sidewall 13 that includes a closed end and an opposing open end (not shown in FIG.
- Insulating structure 12 supports and substantially encloses pouch 11 , and pouch 11 is constructed of a substantially water-impermeable material such as thin plastic or polyester film or the like.
- sidewall 13 is more specifically comprised of opposing, spaced-apart layers 13 A and 13 B that meet at a continuous edge 13 C.
- insulating structure 12 is generally circular, which is preferably also the case with pouch 11 .
- Other shapes may be employed whether ovoidal, triangular, square, etc., and insulating structure 12 and pouch 11 may be of different shapes.
- Insulating structure 12 is comprised of a substantial pouch that, in this specific embodiment, is defined by joined substantially coextensive elements or insulators 20 and 21 and it alternatively may be formed from or of a single element.
- elements 20 and 21 are joined at their respective distal extremities and this will be discussed more fully later in this specification, and are substantially identical and only one will be discussed in connection with FIG. 6 .
- element 20 is comprised of insulation or insulating material 22 contained substantially in a substantial shell 23 .
- Insulation 22 is constructed of natural and/or synthetic insulating material such as polyester and/or cotton or other suitable insulating material or combination of materials and may be constructed of any suitable thickness for providing a desired insulating ability.
- Shell 23 includes opposing, spaced-apart layers 23 A and 23 B that meet at a substantially continuous edge 23 C.
- Shell 23 is preferably constructed of a natural and/or synthetic, woven and/or unwoven cloth or cloth-like material.
- Layers 23 A and 23 B and insulation 22 are considered engaged or otherwise joined, superimposed layers, and layer 23 B directly opposes and is substantially coextensive with layer 13 A of pouch 11 .
- the inner surface of layer 13 A that faces and at least partially defines chamber 14 may be equipped or otherwise associated with a cloth or cloth-like layer.
- Layers 23 A and 23 B are joined with an adhesive and/or with sewn features 24 as shown for the purposes of example, and edge 23 C is reinforced with a continuous bead 25 , which prevents the free edges of layers 23 A and 23 B from fraying and this may be accomplished in other ways such as with sewn reinforcements, glue, etc.
- bead 25 may comprise the structure for engaging the free edges of layers 23 A and 23 B together.
- element 21 is substantially identical to element 20
- element 21 is denoted with the same reference numerals used to describe element 20 and they are each accompanied with a prime (“′”) symbol for clarity.
- Edges 23 C and 23 C′ substantially oppose each other and define generally the opposing and substantially continuous distal extremities of elements 20 and 21 , respectively.
- the substantially continuous distal extremity of element 20 is denoted generally at 26
- the opposing and substantially continuous distal extremity of element 21 is denoted generally at 27 .
- Pouch 11 may be prefabricated, and elements 20 and 21 may be prefabricated and then joined together and to pouch 11 .
- element 20 may be prefabricated with layer 13 A and element 21 may be prefabricated with layer 13 B. These prefabricated structures may then be joined together for forming apparatus 10 including pouch 11 .
- Elements 20 and 21 are joined together with a suitable adhesive and/or sewn features, which may comprise sewn features 24 discussed in connection with FIG. 6 and which are also shown in FIG. 1 or different sewn features.
- elements 20 and 21 are joined together substantially at and along only a portion of extremities 26 and 27 . This leaves other portions of the extremities 26 and 27 free, and these free portions of extremities 26 and 27 define opposing and substantially coextensive lips 30 and 31 , respectively. Lips 30 and 31 loosely associate or otherwise mingle with one another and are capable of being easily pulled apart for forming an opening 35 , which leads to chamber 14 (chamber 14 shown only in FIG. 6 ). Food passage to chamber 14 may also be provided by another sealable opening of apparatus 10 if desired.
- the open end of pouch 11 is formed by opposing and substantially coextensive lips of sidewall 13 , which are each preferably engaged to one of elements 20 and 21 by adhesive or sewing or the like.
- the lips of sidewall 13 are preferably substantially coextensive with and positioned substantially along lips 30 and 31 .
- the open end of pouch 11 is directed toward and otherwise generally common with lips 30 and 31 and opening 35 defined thereby.
- the open end of pouch 11 and opening 35 defined by lips 30 and 31 generally define the open end of apparatus 10 , which is denoted generally in FIG. 1 with the reference character 40 .
- the lips that define the open end of pouch 11 can be shallow of lips 30 and 31 if desired.
- Lips 30 and 31 are constructed and arranged so that they normally loosely associate or mingle with one another or otherwise rest against one another passively. By pulling elements 20 and 21 apart at lips 30 and 31 , opening 35 may be enlarged for allowing a user to pass food therethrough and into chamber 14 .
- a user may take warm food such as warm tortillas, bread, rolls or other savory or sweet bread or bread-like food, pull lips 30 and 31 apart and pass the food into chamber 14 through opening 35 and through the open end of pouch 11 .
- warm food such as warm tortillas, bread, rolls or other savory or sweet bread or bread-like food
- lips 30 and 31 By releasing lips 30 and 31 , they naturally come together and rest against one another as generally shown in FIG. 3 .
- Insulating structure 12 keeps the food contained in chamber 14 warm. Because the engagement between lips 30 and 31 is a non-sealing engagement, and because pouch 11 is open, water vapor generated by the warm food is able to pass from pouch 11 and outwardly between opening 35 between lips 30 and 31 as it builds up in chamber 14 . In this regard, opening 35 is never completely sealed and this provides a partial vapor lock for chamber 14 . This partial vapor lock inhibits moisture from building up in chamber 14 for inhibiting the food contained therein from becoming soggy, yet allows enough moisture vapor to remain therein for keeping
- lips may be partially and mechanically or actively closed at a discrete point with a closure 50 shown generally in FIGS. 3 and 5 .
- Closure 50 is comprised of an engagement element 51 supported by or otherwise fixed to or adjacent lip 30 and an opposing and detachably engagable complemental engagement element 52 supported by or otherwise fixed to or adjacent lip 31 .
- engagement element 51 comprises one of a hook medium and a loop medium commonly found under the VELCRO trademark and complemental engagement element 52 comprises the other of the hook medium and the loop medium and this may be reversed.
- lips 30 and 31 may employ a snap or button fastener or other suitable form of closure.
- lips 30 and 31 may be provided with closure structure for fastening lips 30 and 31 together at spaced apart points, while leaving other parts of lips 30 and 31 passively engagable for allow water vapor to pass therethrough.
- Apparatus 10 is microwave safe, so it may be used for heating food in the microwave.
