  • Patent number: 6367651
    Abstract: A vented container for produce having a base and a cover which are at least substantially impervious to gas transfer. The base includes a base panel and side walls. Preferably two vent apertures are formed through the side wall, and a plug is provided for each vent aperture, to permit the vent apertures to be selectively opened. The plugs may be mounted upon vent toggles, such that manual pivoting of the vent toggles will open or close the associated vent aperture. The selective opening of the vent apertures permits gas exchange between the interior of the container and the ambient atmosphere, providing improve storage for produce. Maintaining the vent apertures closed permits the container to be used as a normal sealed food storage container. The base panel preferably includes an alternating series of hills and troughs to segregate condensate within the container. The troughs may be downward concave to further subdivide the condensate within each trough.

  • Patent number: 6279788
    Abstract: A container for storing items, such as foodstuffs. The container includes a sidewall which includes a monolithic window portion having greater transparency than the remainder of the sidewall. This is achieved by forming the container of a clear, tinted material, and forming the window portion with a reduced thickness, and/or forming the window portion with a smooth surface and forming the remainder of the sidewall with an obscuring texture. A cover may be used to close the container, and may form a seal with the container. The cover may include pivot pins to permit the cover to be pivoted to a position breaking the seal, thus permitting easier removal of the cover. A pouring insert may also be used with the container. The pouring insert is mounted to the mouth of the container, and includes a main pour spout and a secondary pour spout. Both pour spouts include pour guides to direct spilled contents back into the container.
