Abstract
A salad container having a container body with an open top, an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity, the cavity divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber by a selective barrier cooperatively configured to rest on the interior surface of the body to selectively exclude relatively large ingredients such as salad roughage from entry into the lower chamber and to provide passage therethrough of relatively small food ingredients, such as granular ingredients including, for example, ground pepper and/or such as liquids, including, for example, salad dressing, into and out of the lower chamber.
Claims21
A salad container comprising:
- a container body having an open top, an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity, the body having at least one protrusion projecting inwardly into the cavity, and a selective barrier cooperatively configured to rest gravitationally on the at least one protrusion dividing the cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber and having at least one barrier opening configured to selectively exclude entry of relatively large food items into the lower chamber and to provide passage through the barrier of relatively small food ingredients into and out of the lower chamber.
A salad container comprising:
- a container body having an open top, an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity, the body having at least one protrusion projecting inwardly into the cavity, and a selective barrier having an upwardly angled extension cooperatively configured to wedge the barrier in frictional contact with the at least one protrusion dividing the cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber and having at least one barrier opening configured to selectively exclude entry of relatively large food items into the lower chamber and to provide passage through the barrier of relatively small food ingredients into and out of the lower chamber.
A salad container comprising:
- a container body having an open top, an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity, the interior surface having a downwardly inward tapering portion, and a selective barrier cooperatively configured to rest on the tapering portion dividing the cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber and having at least one barrier opening to selectively exclude entry of relatively large food items into the lower chamber.
A salad container comprising:
- a container body means having an open top, an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity for holding foodstuffs, the body means having at least one protrusion projecting inwardly into the cavity, and a selective barrier means cooperatively configured to rest gravitationally on the at least one protrusion and to divide the cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber and having at least one barrier opening configured to selectively exclude entry of relatively large food items into the lower chamber and to provide passage through the barrier of relatively small food ingredients into and out of the lower chamber.
A salad container comprising:
- a container body means having an open top, an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity for holding foodstuffs, the body means having at least one protrusion projecting inwardly into the cavity, and a selective barrier means having an upwardly angled extension cooperatively configured to wedge the barrier means in frictional contact with the at least one protrusion and to divide the cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber and having at least one barrier opening configured to selectively exclude entry of relatively large food items into the lower chamber and to provide passage through the barrier of relatively small food ingredients into and out of the lower chamber.
A salad container comprising:
- a container body means having an open top, an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity for holding foodstuffs, the interior surface having a downwardly inward tapering portion, and a selective barrier means cooperatively configured to rest on the tapering portion and to divide the cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber and having at least one barrier opening to selectively exclude entry of relatively large food items into the lower chamber.
