Definitions

  • the invention relates to food containers, which do not always contain utensils due to the extra packaging costs being prohibitive and the container design not being suitable.
  • 'utensiF is intended to describe any implement which is used for the purpose of consuming a food and or liquid or medicine etc, for example a fork, spoon, knife or chopstick are all utensils, and may equally be suitable for the storage of liquid or foodstuff within the handle or main body of the utensil.
  • the present invention relates to a development for a container and is particularly suitable for a foodstuff and or liquid, the container having a mouth sealed by means of a foil adhered to the upper rim of the container.
  • Such containers are commonly used for foodstuffs that are consumed in their entirety as soon as the containers are opened so that there is no need for the containers to be resealed.
  • foodstuffs are yoghurt, salads, pasta, desserts etc, and quick snacks such as soups and noodles.
  • Disposable utensils are well known, as indeed are food containers, however the object of this invention is to provide a utensil through making one of the food or liquid chambers within the container utensil shaped.
  • This chamber is specifically designed so that consumable products can be stored within it, and because the chamber is utensil shaped it may be detached from the other chamber and used as a utensil to consume the food within the container or utensil.
  • the utensil shaped food and or liquid chamber may also hinge on the main food container, or detach from the main food container and therefore empty the contents of the utensil shaped chamber into the main food container, prior to the utensil being removed.
  • the invention allows for extra marketing possibilities and saves on materials, which would be required in the manufacture of a utensil.
  • a container for food stuffs comprising at least two compartments for receiving food stuffs and one or more membranes extending across both compartments to seal food stuffs separately in each compartment, wherein at least one of the compartments containing foods stuffs forms part of a utensil for eating said food stuffs and wherein the utensil is arranged to be separated from the at least one other compartment.
  • a container for food stuffs comprising at least two compartments sealed by at least one membrane and separated by a linear flat area dividing the container into a first section and a second section such that the container can be folded along the flat area so that one compartment is inverted upon one other compartment.
  • a utensil shaped container being attached to one or multiple utensil shaped containers allowing each utensil shaped chamber to be broken off or removed individually from the connected utensil shaped containers.
