Abstract

A two part container adapted to separately hold consumable foodstuffs. The two part container provides a convenient device for transporting different foodstuffs in a separated fashion using a single container.

Claims (61)

1 . A two part container adapted to separately hold consumable foodstuffs, comprising:

a first container, comprising:

a first container base;

a first container sidewall extending from the base to define a first container mouth, the first container sidewall being formed by inner and outer panels, the inner panel and the first container base defining a first foodstuff receiving cavity, the outer panel being generally coextensive with and spaced from the inner panel to define a chamber therebetween; and

thermal energy storage material being located in the chamber;

a second container comprising:

a second container base; and

a second container sidewall extending from the second container base to define a second container mouth, the second container sidewall and the second container base defining a second foodstuff receiving cavity;

wherein the first and second containers are detachably engageable to form the two part container.

2 . The two part container of claim 1 , wherein the first and second containers are detachably engageable via a twist lock mechanism.

3 . The two part container of claim 2 , wherein, when the first and second containers are attached, the first container provides a lid for the second container mouth.

4 . The two part container of claim 1 , wherein, when the first and second containers are attached, the first container provides a lid for the second container mouth.

5 . The two part container of claim 4 , further comprising a grip member positioned proximate an interface between the first and second containers and secured generally around the first container base when the first and second containers are attached.

6 . The two part container of claim 4 , wherein a first diameter of the first container mouth is greater than a second diameter of the first container base.

7 . The two part container of claim 1 , wherein a first diameter of the first container mouth is greater than a second diameter of the first container base.

8 . The two part container of claim 1 , further comprising:

milk in the first container, wherein the thermal energy storage material is configured to chill the milk;

cookies in the second container, wherein the diameter of each of the cookies is generally the same as an interior diameter of the second container sidewall.

9 . The two part container of claim 1 , further comprising:

milk in the first container, wherein the thermal energy storage material is configured to chill the milk; and

cereal in the second container.

10 . The two part container of claim 9 , wherein a first diameter of the first container mouth is greater than a second diameter of the first container base.

11 . The two part container of claim 10 , wherein the second container has a generally cylindrical, tube shape.

12 . The two part container of claim 9 , wherein a third diameter of the second container mouth is greater than a fourth diameter of the second container base.

13 . The two part container of claim 9 , further comprising a foldable spoon locatable in at least one of the first and second containers.

14 . The two part container of claim 1 , further comprising the first and second container mouths being located on generally opposing sides of the two part container when the first and second containers are attached.

15 . The two part container of claim 1 , wherein the second panel of the first container is generally translucent so that the first container generally has a color of the thermal energy storage material.

16 . The two part container of claim 15 , wherein the second container sidewall is generally translucent.

17 . The two part container of claim 1 , wherein the second container sidewall is generally translucent.

18 . A two part container adapted to separately hold consumable foodstuffs, comprising:

a first container having a first longitudinal axis, comprising:

a first container base;

a first container sidewall extending from the base to define a first container mouth, the first container sidewall defining a first foodstuff receiving cavity;

a second container having a second longitudinal axis, comprising:

a second container base; and

a second container sidewall extending from the second container base to define a second container mouth, the second container sidewall and the second container base defining a second foodstuff receiving cavity;

wherein the first and second containers are detachably engageable in a generally end-to-end fashion so that the first and second longitudinal axes are aligned to form the two part container.

19 . The two part container of claim 18 , wherein the first and second containers are detachably engageable via a twist lock mechanism.

20 . The two part container of claim 18 , wherein, when the first and second containers are attached, the first container provides a lid for the second container mouth.

21 . The two part container of claim 18 , further comprising a grip member positioned proximate an interface between the first and second containers and secured generally around the first container base when the first and second containers are attached.

22 . The two part container of claim 18 , wherein a first diameter of the first container mouth is greater than a second diameter of the first container base.

23 . The two part container of claim 22 , further comprising:

milk in the first container;

cookies in the second container, wherein the diameter of each of the cookies is generally the same as an interior diameter of the second container sidewall.

24 . The two part container of claim 18 , further comprising:

milk in the first container; and

cereal in the second container.

25 . The two part container of claim 24 , wherein a first diameter of the first container mouth is greater than a second diameter of the first container base.

26 . The two part container of claim 25 , wherein the second container has a generally cylindrical, tube shape.

27 . The two part container of claim 18 , further comprising the first and second container mouths being located on generally opposing sides of the two part container when the first and second containers are attached.

28 . The two part container of claim 18 , wherein the first sidewall of the first container is generally translucent.

29 . The two part container of claim 28 , wherein the second container sidewall is generally translucent.

30 . A two part container adapted to separately hold consumable foodstuffs, comprising:

a first container generally elongated about a first longitudinal axis, comprising:

a first container base;

a first container sidewall extending from the base to define a first container mouth, the first container sidewall being formed by inner and outer panels, the inner panel and the first container base defining a first foodstuff receiving cavity, the outer panel being generally coextensive with and spaced from the inner panel to define a chamber therebetween; and

thermal energy storage material being located in the chamber;

a second container generally elongated about a second longitudinal axis, comprising:

a second container base; and

a second container sidewall extending from the second container base to define a second container mouth, the second container sidewall and the second container base defining a second foodstuff receiving cavity;

wherein the first and second containers are detachably engageable in a generally end-to-end fashion so that the first and second longitudinal axes are aligned to form the two part container.
