Abstract

This invention relates to packaged food products consisting of containers and... Food products: Packaging containers have at least one rim and wall that extends from the rim. At least one of these walls defines the boundary of the storage area, and the food products are packaged inside. Storage areas where food products are in contact with at least one of the walls. One of these sides can be instantly reshaped by the user's hand to reduce the volume of the storage space. This reduction... The volume of the storage space determines how food products are dispensed from the storage area. The container consists of sections. A unified, integrated tool for breaking down food products after they have been removed from the packaging. The storage area may contain food products such as wet cat food or wet dog food.

Claims

1. Packaged food products comprising: a container where at least one side of the wall extends from the edge, where at least one such wall defines the storage area, and a tool extending from the edge beyond at least one such wall, and the food product is packaged within the storage area and in contact with at least one such wall, where at least one such wall is configured to be immediately deformable by the user's hand to reduce the volume of the storage area, and the packaged food product is configured in such a way that the reduction of the volume of the storage area will cause the food product to be released from the storage area.

2. Packaged food products under claim 1 where at least one such wall has a thickness of one, the edge has a thickness of a second, and the second thickness is larger than the first thickness.

3. Packaged food products under claim 2 where at least one such wall forms a blow-molded wall that is a single unit with both the edge and the tool. 4.

5. Packaged food products under claim 4 where at least one of the side walls consists of a bottom wall and at least one side wall, and at least one of the bottom walls and at least one side wall together define the storage area, with at least one of the side walls tapering inward from the edge.

6. Packaged food products under claim 1 where at least one of the side walls extends from the edge beyond at least one of the side walls by a distance of at least 1 centimeter.

7. Packaged food products under claim 6 where the edge tool extends beyond at least one of the side walls by a distance of at least 2 centimeters.

8. Packaged food products under claim 6 where the edge tool contains at least one pin for use in breaking up the food product after it has been removed from the storage area. 9.

10. Packaged food products under claim 1 where the container is further incorporated with a lid that is in contact with the rim, which seals the storage area.

11. Packaged food products under claim 1 where the food product is wet cat food or wet dog food.

12. Packaged food products under claim 1 where the container constitutes the first container and the food product constitutes the first food product, where the packaged food product is further incorporated with a second container that is permanently attached to the first container in a detachable manner and the second food product is contained within the second container.

12. A method for dispensing food products at a time from a container consisting of a rim, at least one wall extending from the rim and defining the storage area containing the food product, and a tool extending from the rim beyond at least one such wall, where the method incorporates: reducing the volume of the storage area by manually deforming at least one such wall to reduce the volume of the storage area and extract the food product from the storage area, and using the container's tool to break up the food product.

13. A method under claim 12 where the breaking up of the food product involves chopping the food product with the tool.

14. A method under claim 12 where the tool extends beyond at least one such wall by a distance of at least 1 centimeter.

15. A method under claim 12 where the tool consists of at least one pin and the breaking up of the food product involves breaking up the food product using at least one such pin. 16.
