Tableware
A bowl that has a beach at a beach angle to a horizontal axis and a lip at a lip angle relative to the horizontal axis. The bowl is configured to contain a substance in a concave inner portion between the beach, lip and between two sides connecting the lip and beach. The beach angle and lip angle allow for maximized scoping of the substance in the concave inner portion, but providing a low contact entry and a lip that forces the substance onto the dipping instrument.
This application claims benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/227,298, which was filed on Jul. 29, 2021. The entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUNDTypical bowls fail to provide an easy way to scope food. For example, typical bowls require the use of two hands or two utensils to scope food, such as salsa, from the bowl. Furthermore, bowls only have a high impact entry that often breaks chips or makes efficient dipping impossible.
Therefore, there is a need for a bowl that has a unique shape to allow a user to obtain food therefrom with minimal effort.
With reference to
An embodiment of the tableware can include a lid and ultraviolet light emitting diode. The tableware can be similar to tableware disclosed herein but can have a retractable lid with one or more Ultraviolet light emitting diodes. One or more of the legs 16 can be configured to receive a power supply, such as a battery, and can have electronic circuits for communicating power from the battery to the Ultraviolet light emitting diodes, the electronic circuits would be known to one skilled in the art with the aid of this disclosure. The Ultraviolet light emitting diodes can be configured to emit Far-UVC light.
In one or more embodiments, a lid can be configured to fit the shape of the bowl, the lid can snap onto the bowl forming a seal between a top portion of the bowl and a portion of the lid.
It will be appreciated that the various dependent claims and the features set forth therein can be combined in different ways than presented in the initial claims. It will also be appreciated that the features described in connection with individual embodiments may be shared with others of the described embodiments.
Claims
1. A tableware as shown and described.
2. A bowl comprising:
- a. A beach entry having a beach angle of from about 20 degrees to 80 degrees relative to a horizontal axis;
- b. a lip opposite the beach, wherein the lip has a lip angle of from 0 degrees to 89 degrees relative to the horizontal axis;
- c. two sides between the beach and lip, wherein a concave inner portion is formed between the sides and the lip and beach, and wherein a bottom is located opposite the top of the sides, lip, and beach.
3. The bowl of claim 2, further comprising a lid that is retractable between an outer surface and the inner surface and is configured to cover a top of the concave inner portion.
4. The bowl of claim 4, wherein the lid has at least one Ultraviolet emitting diode that emits UVC.
5. The bowl of claim 1, comprising a plurality of legs extending from a bottom of the bowl.
