An attachable plate and cup assembly that allows the user to hold both a plate and a cup in one hand. The assembly includes a cup having an open top portion and a closed bottom portion, and the open top portion has at least two substantially parallel sides. The assembly also includes a plate having a top surface and a bottom surface. A cup receiving structure protrudes downward from the bottom surface, and has at least two substantially parallel sides. Each of the substantially parallel sides has an inwardly facing channel to accommodate a lip of the cup.

A food container is disclosed that is configured to attach to either (1) a beverage container lid, the lid comprising a lid wall with a lid coupling structure, or (2) a rim of a beverage can. The food container includes a food compartment comprising a side wall and a bottom and a food compartment coupling structure extending from the bottom outer wall coupling structure and an inner wall that further comprises an inner wall coupling structure. When the food container is mounted to the beverage container lid, the outer wall coupling structure mates with the lid coupling structure. When the food container is mounted to the beverage can, the inner wall coupling structure hooks underneath the rim.

A food handling device includes a holder having an interior chamber extending along a longitudinal axis, and an extension housing detachably mounted on the holder and having an interior compartment for receiving and for holding the foodstuff. A pusher is mounted in the chamber for axial movement. An actuator axially moves the pusher through the chamber and through the compartment into contact with the foodstuff, and incrementally feeds a continuously variable quantity of the foodstuff along the longitudinal axis through the opening directly into a user's mouth to enable the foodstuff to be eaten bite-by-bite in a sanitary manner without using eating accessories, such as plates and/or utensils, and without the user's hands directly touching and contaminating the foodstuff, thereby preventing the spread of disease.

A food container coupling system includes a food container configured to attach to a can or a beverage container lid/coupler. The food container includes a food compartment with a side wall and a bottom, which has a food compartment coupling structure. The food compartment coupling structure has an inner wall coupling structure with an inner wall jut, and is shaped complementary to the rim of a beverage can and when the food container is mounted to the beverage can, the food compartment coupling structure mates with the beverage can rim. The system may also include a beverage container lid/coupler with a coupling ring adapted to mate with the rim of a beverage container, wherein the rim defines a second plane, and a beverage container lid coupling structure extends from the second plane and can mate with the food compartment coupling structure.

An apparatus for holding food having a first inner chamber; and a cup having a top opening leading to an inner chamber, wherein the inner chamber of the cup is enclosed by a peripheral wall and a bottom. The apparatus for holding food and the cup may be configured to fit at least partially in the inner chamber of the cup, while the apparatus for holding food and the cup are both in an upright state, in a manner to allow liquid to sit on the bottom of the cup without being contacted by the apparatus for holding food, and to allow food to sit in the first inner chamber of the apparatus for holding food without falling through. The apparatus for holding food may have a circular shape, which covers the top opening of the cup, except for one or more indentations, through which a straw can be inserted.

A food receptacle includes a first surface to hold items including food, a second surface, opposite the second surface, and a hole extending through the center axis of the food receptacle to receive a beverage container such that when the beverage container has a largest outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the hole, the beverage container extends through the hole and is held by the user and the food receptacle is supported by resting the second surface of the food receptacle on a surface of the hand, and when the beverage container is conical in shape and the beverage container's largest outer diameter is greater than the diameter of the hole, the beverage container is supported by the edge of the hole and the food receptacle is held by the user.

An attachable plate and cup assembly that allows the user to hold both a plate and a cup in one hand. The assembly includes a cup having an open top portion and a closed bottom portion, and the open top portion has at least two substantially parallel sides. The assembly also includes a plate having a top surface and a bottom surface. A cup receiving structure protrudes downward from the bottom surface, and has at least two substantially parallel sides. Each of the substantially parallel sides has an inwardly facing channel to accommodate a lip of the cup.

A generally planar plate (1) for supporting food and drink is disclosed. The plate (1) including an oblong opening (2) relative to the major axis of the plate and through which the thumb may extend to grip the top of the plate (1) and by which the bottom of the plate (1) can be gripped by the splayed apart fingers of the hand of the user, to thereby provide a stable surface for supporting food and drink on top of the plate (1).

A device and method for holding food and drink simultaneously, comprising of a combined plate and adjustable cup holder. The plate may have one or more compartments for holding food and the cup holder is for supporting various drink containers. The plate having an aperture through which the cup holder is situated. The cup holder may move within the aperture with protrusions near the top and bottom of the cup holder to prevent the cup holder from disengaging from the plate. When the cup holder is lowered with respect to the plate, it provides a natural handle. When the cup holder is raised with respect to the plate the base of the cup holder and base of the plate are substantially coplanar, allowing the plate to rest on a flat surface.

A composite plate for use at social gatherings and the like wherein the composite plate serves as a plate for food as well as a holder for an eating utensil, a napkin, and a beverage container, thereby enabling the user to hold all with one hand while leaving the other hand free to shake hands with other guests, and to use the eating utensil or napkin, or to drink a beverage. The composite plate has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer rim, and the composite plate includes an aperture passing between the upper surface and the lower surface. A collapsible beverage holder having a top and a bottom, wherein the top of the beverage holder is connected to a perimeter of the aperture in the plate, and wherein the collapsible beverage holder includes folds enabling the collapsible beverage holder to be collapsed such the bottom of the collapsible beverage holder becomes flush with the lower surface of the plate, thus enabling the lower surface of the plate to rest upon a flat surface.
