  • Patent number: 9826860
    Abstract: A container with strainer divider is appointed to filter liquid from a food product to maintain freshness. The liquid strainer divider has a main body portion with a plurality of closely arranged apertures having small diameters. The body portion terminates at a perimeter with a perimeter rim. The perimeter rim and perimeter of the main body portion of the liquid strainer divider are adapted to be received and abut against walls of a container and the plurality of straining holes or apertures of the liquid strainer divider function to separate liquid to the bottom wall of the container. The liquid strainer divider is formed having a plurality of interconnected shallow peaks and valleys, wherein the peaks are formed as a convex arched curve with sloping walls terminating to valleys that are conversely concave arched curves so as to form an interconnected waved structure.

  • Publication number: 20150305571
    Abstract: A container with strainer divider is appointed to filter liquid from a food product to maintain freshness. The container has a bottom wall and side walls with securing means to secure the liquid strainer divider, which is formed with a main body portion terminating at a perimeter. The perimeter has a perimeter rim and is composed of a flat sheet with at least two opposing fold lines forming wall sections terminating at edges and a centrally located aperture. The perimeter rim is adapted to be received within the securing means. When inserted within the securing means, the sheet is forced to form a shallow cone shape with sloping side walls having a slope angle ?. In its non-compressed form, as when it is removed from the container, the liquid strainer divider is generally a flat sheet with fold lines and wall sections lying separated or non-overlapping in relation to one another.
