Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to reusable food covers. Such reusable food covers may be flexible so that they can create a seal with partially consumed foods, such as fruits and vegetables, to preserve these foods and extend the time of being suitable and desirable for consumption. Each cover may include a base and a flexible wall formed as a single unitary structure.
Claims5
A set of covers for covering an object comprising:
- a first cover, comprising:
- a first base;
- a first flexible wall having a first section extending upwardly from the first base and surrounding the first base, the first flexible wall having a second section that is flat and extends horizontally, wherein the second section of the first flexible wall extends radially inwardly from the first section of the first flexible wall, wherein a first radially inner edge of the second section of the first flexible wall defines a first opening, and wherein the first base and the first flexible wall form a first chamber;
- wherein the first section of the first flexible wall has a first inner surface facing the first chamber, and the first section of the first flexible wall has a first outer surface disposed opposite the first inner surface;
- wherein the first cover has a first height defined between the first base and the first outer surface;
- and
- a second cover, comprising:
- a second base;
- a second flexible wall having a first section extending upwardly from the second base and surrounding the second base, the second flexible wall having a second section that is flat and extends horizontally, wherein the second section of the second flexible wall extends radially inwardly from the first section of the second flexible wall, wherein a second radially inner edge of the second section of the second flexible wall defines a second opening, and wherein the second base and the second flexible wall form a second chamber;
- wherein the first section of the second flexible wall has a second inner surface facing the second chamber, and the first section of the second flexible wall has a second outer surface disposed opposite the second inner surface;
- wherein the second cover has a second height defined between the second base and the second outer surface;
- wherein the second height is less than the first height and the second base is smaller than the first base so that the second cover can be nested within the first chamber of the first cover;
- and
- wherein the first opening has a first opening diameter that is smaller than an outer diameter of the second cover formed by the second outer surface of the second cover, wherein the first cover is configured to retain the second cover between the first base and the second section of the first flexible wall such that an outer surface of the second base contacts an inner surface of the first base.
