Food storage containers

Abstract

The article to which the present design pertains (hereinafter referred to as "the article") is a food storage container used for storing processed or cooked foods. The article comprises a container body that is approximately rectangular in plan view with an opening that opens upward, and a lid that closes the opening of the container body. The container body of the article comprises a peripheral portion that protrudes outward from the periphery of the opening, an annular stepped portion that extends circumferentially at a position one step lower than the inside of the peripheral portion, and two storage compartments that are each partitioned within the area inside the stepped portion. The two storage compartments of the article are partitioned into equal sizes by a connecting portion that connects the longitudinal center of the stepped portion of the container body in the transverse direction. The two storage compartments of the article are formed in the shape of an approximately inverted rectangular prism, a rectangular support that gradually tapers from the inside of the stepped portion and connecting portion of the container body toward the bottom, and are the same size so as to be used for storing foods of the same size and amount. The lid of the present article comprises an annular outer abutment piece that abuts against the peripheral edge of the container body when closed, and an inner abutment piece that is provided inside this outer abutment piece and abuts against the stepped portion and connecting portion of the container body when closed, blocking the opening of the container body and blocking the flow of food between the two storage portions. Furthermore, both longitudinal ends of the peripheral edge of the container body of the present article each have a recess in which the center is recessed toward the opening, leaving only both lateral ends, while both longitudinal ends of the lid each have a bulge portion that bulges outward in an arc shape from the central portion of the lateral ends to the recesses of the container body, allowing the lid to be opened smoothly by directly lifting each bulge from below via the respective recesses of the container body.
