Abstract
A combined container and stirring device which can be used with and resembles the shape of known infusion bags is disclosed. The combined container and stirring device comprises a body made of material that is resistant to liquids. The body comprises a lower body and an upper body. A filter bag surrounding a granular, powdered, or liquid product is provided. The filter bag is arranged within a cavity in the lower body. The upper body wraps around the lower body to form a compact shape when the device is in a folded state. The upper body extends upwardly from the lower body to form a handle when the device is in an expanded state.
Claims19
A combined container and stirring device, the device comprising:
- a lower body having a cavity formed between a first lower body section, a bottom section, and a second lower body section, when folded, accommodating a filter part within the cavity, and a cutout in at least one of the first lower body section and the second lower body section exposing the filter part;
- the bottom section being arranged within a bottom fold between the first lower body section and the second lower body section;
- and
- an upper body integral to and extending from the first lower body section at a body fold and designed so that (i) when folded, it is substantially flat in shape wrapping around the first lower body, section, the bottom section, and the second lower body section to form a compact shape, and (ii) when unfolded from the lower body, employing folded ribs along the upper body to provide a stable handle to be used as a stirrer.
A combined container and stirring device, the device comprising:
- a lower body having a first lower body section and a second lower body section, the second lower body section being attached around its edge against the first lower body section and at least one of the first lower body section and the second lower body section having a cutout exposing a filter part;
- and
- a foldable upper body connected to the first lower body and designed so that (i) the upper body is substantially flat in shape to fold over and wrap around the lower body to form a secure compact shape to protect the lower body and (ii) when unfolded from the lower body, the upper body employs folded ribs along the upper body to form a stable handle to permit the device to be used as a stirrer.
A foldable container device comprising:
- a lower body formed by a first lower body section attached to a second lower body section and having a cutout in at least one of the first lower body section and the second lower body section;
- a filter part positioned within the lower body between the first lower body section and the second lower body section;
- a foldable upper body connected to the lower body and designed so that (i) when folded, the upper body is substantially flat in shape, wrapping around lower body, and is secured against one of the lower body sections and (ii) when unfolded from the lower body, the upper body employs folded ribs along the upper body to provide a stable handle that permits the lower body to be stirred in fluid.
