Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02085167A2] The food container is reversibly invertible from and between a first plate-like geometry to a second bowl-like geometry. The user may eat from the food container while it is either geometry. In the first geometry, the food container can receive food as a plate. In the second geometry, the food container can receive food as a bowl. The second geometry is useful for holding liquid food or other foods which have a tendency to flow. A plurality of the food containers may be nested and shipped in the first, plate-like geometry to conserve space. At the point of use, the food container may be used in the first geometry or, depending upon the users' preference, be inverted to the second bowl-like geometry.
