  • Patent number: 5743405
    Abstract: An improved food storage container is formed from a container body having two sides separated by a shared edge, which defines an axis about which the two sides are adapted for movement between open and storage positions. The open position is defined by a substantially planar disposition of the two sides, while the closed position is defined by the formation of a substantially air-tight cavity. A seal extends around the three nonshared sides of the periphery of the first and second container sides. The seal is of a type that is readily adapted for repeated use, and forms a substantially air-tight seal when closed. Finally, a pair of symmetrically-disposed service flaps are provided and adapted for movement between active and stowed positions. In use, the service flaps are responsively attached to the two sides to fold out into the active position when the two container sides are motivated to the open position, and into the stowed position when the two container sides are motivated to the closed position.
