Abstract: A serving plate set having two similar receptacles which in one form is separated by a sealing member that segregates the receptacle contents, such member also being of a plate-like configuration and which in another form employs the two receptacles to create a closured container.

Abstract: The lunch box comprises a generally square base container and a correspondingly shaped cover each being integrally formed from the same polymeric material. The base container has an integral handle extending forwardly from one side and integrally formed hinge tabs extending rearwardly from an opposite side. The cover, in turn, has integrally formed hinge blocks with slots for receiving the hinge tabs. The arrangement is such that in open position, the top of the cover is coplanar with the bottom of the base container so that both cover and container can engage a flat surface and function as serving trays for contents in the box. In a second position, wherein the box is closed, the cover is simply swung by flexing of the hinge tabs over the top of the container to close the upper opening. The container and cover openings include cooperating lip and step structures providing an hermetic seal and also frictionally holding the cover in place on the container.

Abstract: A stackable bowl and closure combination including two bowl shaped members one of which is substantially larger, i.e. deeper than the other and wherein the shallower of same is adapted to closure the larger in either an upright or inverted position. When the shallower bowl is positioned upon the larger one in an upright position, both bowls may be employed to store foodstuffs, whereas when the former is inverted only the larger bowl will function in a storage sense but the capacity thereof is substantially increased. Furthermore, the smaller of the bowls may be closured and sealed for storage purposes by a generally planar seal employing a peripherally extending U-shaped sealing groove. Likewise, the combined bowls may be used as serving dishes subsequent there separation one from the other.
