Embodiment Construction

[0013]The configuration of the invention is described as follows.

[0014]FIG. 1 shows the top view of the invention, a dish / bowl reusable food cover. The cover has a circular top with top wall 1. The upper surface of top 4 is flat.

[0015]FIG. 2 shows the A-A section view of the invention. The cover is a light, thin shell structure. The top wall 1 is high enough, about 0.5 in, and the diameter of the upper surface of top 4 is small enough, about 3.5 in, for the user to easily grab. The diameter of the upper surface of top 4 is large enough for a covered dish / bowl to stack on it safely. The rim 2 has a simple configuration for easy cleaning. The angle between the rim wall 3 and a rim plane 5 is greater than 45 degrees. With this angle, the user may easily use the rim wall 3 to push food chunks aside thus to allow the rim to have a closer contact with the dish / bowl. Besides, when the angle is greater than 45 degrees, the inner surface of the rim wall 3 as well as the rest of the inner sur...

However, it can be quite cumbersome in handling. People also use plastic food container or lid to cover the food. However, other than the size problems, their complicated rims may also pose cleaning difficulties. For the environment and for convenience, reusable dish / bowl food covers are invented to greatly replace the plastic wraps and their packages. The covers have different sizes suitable for different needs, and can be easily handled and cleaned. The covered dishes / bowls can be easily stacked. Besides, they are transparent and users can easily see the food being covered.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]Reusable dish / bowl food covers have configurations generally like up-side-down thin shell st...
