Abstract
A re-useable partitioning seal used storage containers creates a virtually airtight chambers, to preserve products therein. A disc or differently shaped layer, with flat top and bottom surfaces, is configured to fit against the interior surface of a storage container. A thin, flexible perimeter forming a gasket around the layer, and a handle attached to the layer without fissure or cavity, thereby providing and a single piece, inexpensive re-useable partitioning seal.
Claims32
A re-useable partitioning seal used with storage containers, creating virtually airtight chambers, to preserve products therein and comprising:
- a disk or differently shaped layer, with flat top and bottom surfaces, configured to fit against an interior surface of a storage container,
- a thin, flexible perimeter forming a gasket around the layer, the thin flexible perimeter being thinner than the center of the disk or differently shaped layer and sufficiently flexible to flex against the interior wall of the storage container;
- and
- a handle attached to the layer without fissure or cavity, thereby providing a single piece, re-useable partitioning seal,
- wherein:
- the partitioning seal lacks a valve and the thin flexible perimeter is sufficiently flexible to allow removal without a valve;
- the thin flexible perimeter lies flat in the plane of the disk when the re-useable partitioning seal is not bent by the interior walls of the storage container;
- and
- the thin flexible perimeter includes inwardly directed cuts that facilitate overlapping of the flexible perimeter segments.
A partitioning seal for use inside pre-packaged food and other products containers, to preserve contents therein, which is reusable during the consumption of the packaged contents, comprising:
- a flat disk or differently shaped layer, with flat top and bottom surfaces, fitted to the interior of a storage container,
- a thin, flexible perimeter forming a gasket around the layer, the thin, flexible perimeter lying flat in the plane of the disk when the re-useable partitioning seal is not bent by the interior walls of the storage container, the thin flexible perimeter includes inwardly directed cuts that facilitate overlapping of the flexible perimeter segments,
- a fixed position handle with flat surfaces and seamless attachment to the layer, and
- a single piece design, durable enough to function during consumption of the packaged food or other product, wherein the partitioning seal lacks a valve and the thin flexible perimeter is sufficiently flexible to allow removal without a valve.
A re-useable partitioning seal used with storage containers, creating virtually airtight chambers, to preserve products therein and comprising:
- a disc or differently shaped layer, with flat top and bottom surfaces, configured to fit against the interior surface of a storage container,
- a thin, flexible perimeter forming a gasket around the layer, the thin flexible perimeter having cuts extending inward toward the center from the edge;
- and
- a handle attached to the layer without fissure or cavity, thereby providing a single piece, inexpensive re-useable partitioning seal.
