A cover is provided for use in combination with a receptacle for coffee. The cover is utilizable in a receptacle having a circular, horizontal cross-section and rests on the top of the surface of the coffee in the receptacle. The cover comprises a circular disc having a radially extending slit which extends from the center of the disc to the periphery thereof to enable an overlapping of the portions of the disc on opposite sides of the slit but adjacent thereto. The disc has a larger diameter than the diameter of the bore of the bottle so that the periphery of the disc bears against the inner surface of the receptacle to protect the coffee from exposure to air.
An applicator and receptacle sealer, the applicator for applying a viscous liquid stored in a receptacle and the sealer for sealing the receptacle which is open at the top for removal of the liquid, the applicator and receptacle sealer comprising: a substantially circular member of a flexible, semi-rigid material having a diameter which is selectively adjustable and having a marginal annular edge for sealably engaging the interior wall of a receptacle, the selectively adjustable diameter of the circular member formed by providing annularly in the marginal annular edge scored lines for removing a selected outer portion of the marginal annular edge from the circular member, thereby reducing the diameter of the circular member; and, an elongated handle member mounted to the upper surface of the circular member for imparting vertical movement thereto when the circular member is positioned within the receptacle. The lower surface of said circular member can have an affinity for the viscous liquid to allow the liquid to adhere to the surface and be removed from the receptacle and deposited for its intended use.
A device for preserving aroma and fresh flavor of potable liquids and of coffee, in particular. The device comprises a vessel for holding the coffee; a buoyant lid receivable within the vessel for floating upon the coffee; and a lid retainer, with pouring apertures, which snaps on to the vessel for retention of the lid during the pouring procedure. The vessel and lid are preferably constructed of thermally insulative material for heat retention.
A dispensing display container of coffee or other spoonable particulate foodstuff comprises an upper, externally threaded cylinder and an internally threaded sleeve that the user discards when empty.
A divisible container apparatus comprising a molded plastic tapered cylindrical open head container, a divider having a centrally located upstanding hollow handle and a tapered peripheral skirt, the divider being locatable within the container in parallel, spaced relationship to the bottom and supported by a plurality of interior support ledges with the peripheral skirt in sealing engagement with the interior wall of the container. A snap-on lid is provided for the container along with a bail for carrying the container apparatus and its contents.
