  • Zip-bowl
    Publication number: 20060104547
    Abstract: A sturdy, medium-gauge plastic bowl. Instead of needing an accompanying lid, this bowl quickly turns into a flexible, lighter-gauge plastic at the mid-point interface area, and this softer, more flexible plastic portion has a zip-closure along the top, very similar to a common plastic storage bag. The bowl is oblong instead of round in order to better accommodate the long zip-closure along the top.
