CONTAINER FORMED FROM TWO IDENTICAL TRAYS WITH ENGAGEMENT, VENTING AND STACKING FEATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025595 titled 'CONTAINER FORMED FROM TWO IDENTICAL TRAYS WITH ENGAGEMENT, VENTING AND STACKING FEATURES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a container that consists of trays with a similar profile. Each tray has a rim with a proximal segment, a bead segment, and at least one vent channel in the proximal segment. The bead segment has an upwardly-extending member and a downwardly-extending member, which define first and second cavities respectively. When the trays are closed, the upwardly-extending member of one tray fits into the second cavity of the other tray, creating an interior volume. The proximal segments of the rims of both trays are in contact, effectively sealing the interior volume. The vent channels allow communication between the interior volume and the outside.

  • The container includes trays with identical profiles and rims consisting of proximal segments, bead segments, and vent channels.
  • The bead segments of the trays have upwardly and downwardly extending members that define cavities.
  • When the trays are closed, the upwardly-extending member of one tray fits into the second cavity of the other tray, creating an interior volume.
  • The proximal segments of the rims of the trays are in face-to-face contact, sealing the interior volume.
  • The vent channels allow communication between the interior volume and the outside.

Potential Applications

  • Food packaging: The container could be used for storing and transporting food items, ensuring a sealed and ventilated environment.
  • Medical storage: The trays could be utilized for organizing and preserving medical supplies, maintaining a sterile and ventilated condition.
  • Industrial storage: The container could be employed for storing and transporting small parts or components, providing a secure and ventilated space.

Problems Solved

  • Sealing and ventilation: The container solves the problem of creating a sealed environment while also allowing for ventilation through the vent channels.
  • Tray engagement: The design of the trays ensures a secure engagement when closed, preventing accidental opening and maintaining the integrity of the container.

Benefits

  • Improved storage: The container provides a sealed and ventilated environment, preserving the quality and freshness of stored items.
  • Enhanced organization: The trays with identical profiles allow for efficient stacking and organization of items within the container.
  • Secure closure: The engagement of the trays ensures a secure closure, reducing the risk of spillage or damage during transportation.


Original Abstract Submitted

a container includes trays having a substantially identical profile. for each tray, the tray includes a rim that includes a proximal segment, a bead segment, and at least one vent channel defined in the proximal segment, the bead segment has an upwardly-extending member and a downwardly-extending member, the upwardly-extending member defines a first cavity, and the downwardly-extending member defines a second cavity. when the trays are engaged to close the container, the upwardly-extending member of the first tray is received in the second cavity of the second tray, the upwardly-extending member of the second tray is received in the second cavity of the first tray, the first and second trays define an interior volume of the container, the proximal segments of the rims of the first and second trays are in face-to-face contact to substantially seal the interior volume, and each vent channel is in communication with the interior volume.
