Definitions

  • One such method known in the prior art is to wrap a cucumber in plastic wrap, although success ful , the plastic wrap is not reusable and results in environmental pollution .
  • Another method of the prior art is the use o f sealable plastic containers which are somewhat ef fective at preventing some items from drying out , but do not preventing the oxidi zing ef fect of air which is actually trapped within the plastic container and do not prevent moisture migration from the stored item within the container, often resulting in signi ficant moisture on the inside of the container .
  • zipper closure bags of the prior art also trap oxidi zing air around the item contained within and allow moisture migration from the stored item and are typically not reused therefor posing an environmental pollutant . Sealing plastic containers , and zipper closure bags can be observed in conj unction with their use in attempting to delay spoilage of avocados . Ripe avocados placed in the refrigerator, spoil in about 7 days .
  • vacuum packaging Another known method of preserving and delaying spoilage of fruits , vegetables and other foodstuf fs is the use of vacuum packaging .
  • Known vacuum packaging devices are bulky and depend upon an electrically driven or a burdensome hand vacuum pump . Additionally, vacuum packaging devices are unable to entirely evacuate all air from within a vacuum package container .
  • an inner partition of pliable material is positioned inside an outer partition of pliable material .
  • the inner partiation is of greater pliability than the outer partition .
  • the space between the outer partition and inner partition contains some gaseous and/or liquid material .
  • a resealable opening is provide in connection with the inner partition so that items my be placed therein .
  • one or more items are placed within the inner partition through the resealable opening .
  • the resealable opening is partially sealed . Compressive force is applied to the outer partition, causing air and excess liquid surrounding items contained in the inner partition to be evacuated .
  • the resealable opening is then manipulated to a fully sealed poition while maintaining compressive force upon the outer partition .
  • an inner partition of pliable material is positioned inside an outer partition of pliable material .
  • the inner partiation is of greater pliability than the outer partition .
  • the space between the outer partition contains some gaseous and/or liquid material .
  • a resealable opening is provide in connection with the inner partition so that items my be placed therein .
  • a resealable opening is provided in the outer partition, so that the inner partition may be removed from the outer partition .
  • an evacuation opening of the inner partitioning is positioned through an aperture traversing the outer partition and is sealed by the surface of the aperture of the outer partition, an o-ring or other means known in the prior art .

Abstract

L'invention concerne un contenant à faible coût pour réduire une oxydation, ainsi qu'une migration d'humidité, et retarder considérablement une détérioration de fruits, de légumes, d'aliments préparés, d'épices et d'autres produits alimentaires ainsi que protéger des biens de consommation durables. Une partition interne de matériau pliable ayant une ouverture refermable est située dans une partition externe de matériau pliable. Les fruits, les légumes, les épices, les aliments préparés ou d'autres produits alimentaires sont placés dans la partition interne par l'ouverture refermable. Entre la partition interne et la partition externe, une matière gazeuse et/ou liquide est fournie de telle sorte que, lorsqu'une force de compression est appliquée à la partition externe, la partition interne se conforme uniformément à la forme de son contenu, évacuant de l'air et un excès de liquide dans celle-ci. Des valves peuvent être incorporées et reliées aux partitions respectives pour contrôler l'écoulement du contenu gazeux et/ou liquide vers l'intérieur ou hors de chaque partition respective.
