Container with anti-slip capability
A container with anti-slip capability includes: a container body having a bottom wall that has an outer surface and that is formed with a bottom groove indented inwardly from the outer surface; and a flexible anti-slip member that is mounted in the bottom groove and that has an outer end face flush with the outer surface of the bottom wall of the container body.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a container, more particularly to a container with anti-slip capability.
2. Description of the Related Art
During food processing, such as egg beating, foodstuff stirring, etc., foodstuff to be processed is usually put in a container gripped by one hand or placed on a surface for subsequent stirring operations using a stirrer. The conventional container is disadvantageous in that it has a tendency to slip during use, particularly when the container is made from a ceramic material having a very smooth surface.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONTherefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a container that is capable of overcoming the aforesaid drawback associated with the prior art.
Accordingly, there is provided a container with anti-slip capability. The container comprises: a container body having a bottom wall that has an outer surface and that is formed with a bottom groove indented inwardly from the outer surface; and a flexible anti-slip member that is mounted in the bottom groove and that has an outer end face flush with the outer surface of the bottom wall of the container body.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSOther features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the preferred embodiment of a container according to the present invention is shown to include: a container body 31 having a bottom wall 33 that has an outer surface 331 and that is formed with a bottom groove 310 indented inwardly from the outer surface 331; and a flexible anti-slip member 5 that is mounted in the bottom groove 310 and that has an outer end face 51 flush with the outer surface 331 of the bottom wall 33 of the container body 31. In this embodiment, the container is a mixing bowl having a smooth outer surface.
Referring to
In this embodiment, each of the flexible anti-slip pads 4 and the flexible anti-slip member 5 is made from an anti-slip material, such as soft plastic (for instance, P.V.C.), rubber, silicone, etc.
By virtue of the anti-slip pads 4 and the anti-slip member 5, the aforesaid drawback associated with the prior art can be eliminated.
While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
Claims
1. A container with anti-slip capability, comprising:
- a container body having a bottom wall that has an outer surface and that is formed with a bottom groove indented inwardly from said outer surface; and
- a flexible anti-slip member that is mounted in said bottom groove and that has an outer end face flush with said outer surface of said bottom wall of said container body.
2. The container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said container body further has a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, and a flat hand grip that extends laterally and outwardly from said peripheral wall and that is formed with upper and lower grooves, said container further comprising two flexible anti-slip pads embedded in said upper and lower grooves, respectively.
