  • Patent number: 10370148
    Abstract: A food container is disclosed that is configured to attach to either (1) a beverage container lid, the lid comprising a lid wall with a lid coupling structure, or (2) a rim of a beverage can. The food container includes a food compartment comprising a side wall and a bottom and a food compartment coupling structure extending from the bottom outer wall coupling structure and an inner wall that further comprises an inner wall coupling structure. When the food container is mounted to the beverage container lid, the outer wall coupling structure mates with the lid coupling structure. When the food container is mounted to the beverage can, the inner wall coupling structure hooks underneath the rim.

  • Patent number: 10266319
    Abstract: A cup lid with an integrated container that can be coupled to a beverage cup has a continuous outer coupling ring which circumscribes a footprint of the lid, and a drink-hole planar surface above the coupling ring and within the lid footprint. An annular surface above the coupling ring, within and non-concentric with the lid footprint, is connected to the drink-hole planar surface. A food container has a container inner wall extending downward from the annular surface, and a bottom connected to the container inner wall and coplanar with or below the coupling ring. A drink hole for drinking a liquid in the cup extends through the drink-hole surface at a position outside of the annular surface, and a cover is removably attached to the annular surface and encloses the food container.

  • Patent number: 10246220
    Abstract: A food container coupling system includes a food container configured to attach to a can or a beverage container lid/coupler. The food container includes a food compartment with a side wall and a bottom, which has a food compartment coupling structure. The food compartment coupling structure has an inner wall coupling structure with an inner wall jut, and is shaped complementary to the rim of a beverage can and when the food container is mounted to the beverage can, the food compartment coupling structure mates with the beverage can rim. The system may also include a beverage container lid/coupler with a coupling ring adapted to mate with the rim of a beverage container, wherein the rim defines a second plane, and a beverage container lid coupling structure extends from the second plane and can mate with the food compartment coupling structure.

  • Patent number: 10232997
    Abstract: A food container system is disclosed that includes a food container lid. The lid has a beverage container coupling structure that removably attaches to a beverage container. The beverage container coupling structure circumscribes a footprint of the lid. The lid also has a drink-hole surface within the lid footprint and an annular surface above the beverage container coupling structure and within the lid footprint. The annular surface is connected to the drink-hole planar surface and includes food container coupling structure that removably attaches to a second food container. A food compartment is formed from a food compartment inner wall extending from the annular surface, and a bottom connected to the food compartment inner wall. The lid also includes a drink hole extending through the drink-hole surface.

  • Patent number: 10159367
    Abstract: A container lid is disclosed that accepts a snap-on container. The lid includes a continuous outer coupling trough for attachment to the open top of a beverage container where the trough circumscribes a footprint of the container lid. A straw-hole planar surface is disposed within the footprint, the straw-hole planar surface is adjacent to the outer coupling trough and a hole for drinking a liquid in the container extends through the straw-hole planar surface. A riser wall extends away from the straw-hole planar surface and defines a first planar surface above the straw-hole planar surface. A sip hole extends through the first planar surface. A food container coupling wall connects to the first planar surface and extends from the first planar surface to a position lower than the first planar surface and a food container coupling bottom connected to the food container coupling wall.

  • Patent number: 10086986
    Abstract: A food container is disclosed that includes a food compartment and a seal-on cover. The food compartment has an outer rim that circumscribes a volume. The food compartment outer rim has tear tab guides that extend outward from the rim. The seal-on cover has a peripheral edge with two portions, the first portion is connected to the rim and the second portion is not connected to the rim and extends past the outer rim forming an overhang. The extended tear tab guides are located adjacent to the overhang and direct the user as to where the tear line begins at the overhang and extends to an opposite side of the peripheral edge. When a user pulls on the overhang, the seal-on cover tears along the tear line and exposes a portion of the volume.

  • Patent number: 10011407
    Abstract: A portable packaging system is disclosed that includes a food container, a beverage container lid and a tray. The food container has a bottom and a wall extending from the bottom that defines a food container footprint. The lid has a rim coupling structure that detachably couples to the rim of a beverage container and a hole to allow access to the contents of the beverage container when the beverage container lid is coupled to the beverage container. The tray has a tray bottom and walls that define a tray footprint that complements the food container footprint such that the food container can securely nest in the tray. The tray and lid can detachably couple to each other. In other embodiments, the system need not have a separate food container.
