Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to a food container, and more specifically, to a container for containing a pre-packaged food container.
- Food containers have been around for many years to store and preserve food contents. These containers are used for many purposes, such as for storing food in a refrigerator or freezer, cooking in a microwave or oven, serving, and transporting food items. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and can hold small volume items to large volume items such as for commercial food storage. In the food industry, food containers are used to hold items in solid, granular or powder form, such as dry cereal, and in liquid form, such as juice and soda. Containers can be vacuum sealed to prevent premature spoiling or may have secure lids to prevent spilling and can be made from a variety of materials including glass, plastic, ceramic, metal, or the like. A variety of containers for storing food products exist, such as, for example, ziploc containers, disposable food containers, take out containers, or the like.
- Food containers may also come in a variety of configurations to store and separate the contents within one food container, and may be referred to as nesting containers.
- Nesting containers may comprise multiple compartments that can fit together. This can provide an easy way for someone to carry a wide variety of foods in one container. This can also provide someone to store toppings or mixtures separately within one container with the intent of combining the contents of the containers prior to consuming.
- An example of this includes U.S. Patent No. 6,068,865 (hereinafter "the ⁇ 865 patent").
- the '865 patent purports to describe a chocolate yogurt containing device configured to store the yogurt and a chocolate mixture separately.
- a first containment device is used to store the yogurt and a second containment device is used to store the chocolate. When someone is ready to consume the chocolate yogurt, they open each container and mix them together, for example, by pouring the contents of the second container into the first container.
- Food containers also exist for storing pre-packaged food containers.
- a pre-packaged pet food container is placed in the food bowl and the cover is removed allowing a pet to access.
