Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of food containers. More specifically, the invention relates to portion dispensing food containers. BACKGROUND
  • Dried foods such as pasta and rice
  • Dried foods are prepared by placing a selected amount of the food into water and cooking it until the food has reached a desired consistency. Since water makes up a significant amount of a food's volume, a small amount of dried food can be prepared into a large volume of cooked food. It can be difficult to assess the amount of dried food required to make a desired volume or portions of cooked food. Over estimation of the amount of dried food to be cooked can result in over eating, excessive amounts of leftover food, and even discarded or wasted food. Under estimation of the amount of dried food can result in embarrassing food shortages, unsatisfied meal participants, and redundant cooking procedures.
  • There are dried food measuring devices in the prior art They often comprise placing in food in the measuring device until a certain volume has been achieved that corresponds to a desired amount of cooked food, or transferring food from its packaging into a device and then dispensing the desired amount of dried food according to a measuring system on the device.
  • a food portion dispensing container for dispensing dried food is provided.
  • the container may comprise four elongate wall panels with a base end and a dispensing end coupled to opposite ends of the container.
  • the dispensing end may comprise a first dispensing aperture configured to allow a serving size of dried food to exit the container and a first dispensing flap configured to be moved between a closed position in which the first dispensing flap blocks dried food from exiting the first dispensing aperture and an open position in which the first dispensing flap allows dried food to exit the first dispensing aperture.
  • a food portion dispensing container including a dispensing end in which the dispensing end comprises: a first dispensing aperture configured to allow a serving size of dried food to exit the container; a first dispensing flap configured to be moved between a closed position in which the first dispensing flap blocks dried food from exiting the first dispensing aperture and an open position in which the first dispensing flap allows dried food to exit the first dispensing aperture; a second dispensing aperture configured to allow a serving size of dried food to exit the container; and a second dispensing flap configured to be moved between a closed position in which the second dispensing flap blocks dried food from exiting the second dispensing aperture and an open position in which the second dispensing flap allows dried food to exit the second dispensing aperture.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient de distribution de portion alimentaire servant à la distribution d'aliments secs. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le récipient peut comprendre quatre panneaux formant parois allongés comportant une extrémité de base et une extrémité de distribution accouplées à des extrémités opposées du récipient. L'extrémité de distribution peut comprendre une première ouverture de distribution configurée de sorte qu'une portion donnée d'aliments secs puisse sortir du récipient et un premier rabat de distribution configuré pour être déplacé entre une position fermée, dans laquelle le premier rabat de distribution empêche les aliments secs de sortir par la première ouverture de distribution, et une position ouverte, dans laquelle le premier rabat de distribution laisse les aliments secs sortir par la première ouverture de distribution.
