DE9101092U1 - Food container with cutting insert and crumb catcher - Google Patents

Description

Description:

3-part box container for storing food, cutting it and collecting leftovers and crumbs.

Problem:

The invention specified in claims 1-12 is based on the problem of creating a container which, when closed, protects food from air, moisture, vermin and other negative external influences, is easy to open, when opened, offers space to cut the food such as bread, to collect the resulting crumbs, and which is easy to empty.

Invention:

This problem is solved by the measures of claim 1.

Advantageous effect of the invention:

Food containers and cutting boards are no longer separate, saving space.

Food is protected from pests, air and moisture or loss of aroma and freshness.

Lid can be easily removed or folded away, a loaf of bread e.g. or a cake or similar can be easily cut into slices, the bread lies on the cutting insert (2) , the knife has space to be guided back and forth between the bars. The crumbs and leftovers fall through the bars into the base container underneath (1) and can be collected there while e.g. several loaves of bread are being cut. Crumbs and leftovers no longer fall on the table, sideboard, floor etc. which means that a very time-consuming, annoying job that occurs with every slice of bread, for housewife/husband, children, elderly people, disabled people or staff in kitchens or restaurants is saved. The crumbs e.g. Bread, for example, can be emptied as desired or when the base container is full, or it can be processed into breadcrumbs by simply lifting the box lid (3) and the cutting insert (2).
