A stackable serving container apparatus for use with shellfish, or any other type of similar food. More particularly, a stackable serving tray apparatus that allows for ease and functionality with respect to serving cooked shellfish that is ready to be eaten and needs to be kept warm, and simultaneously provides an area for any removed shells to be discarded.

An improved dish for displaying and storing vegetables at room temperature. A transparent dome component rests on a planar base. An opening in the apex of the dome components allows vegetable to be readily placed and removed from the dish. The opening is closed by a loose-fitting lid so that sufficient humidity is maintained to keep the stored vegetables from becoming flaccid. Yet sufficient air exchange is allowed by the edges of the lid to retard senescent and spoiling of the vegetables.

A serving container and associated ring element that includes a serving dish and a ring element having a ring element lip with a shape that substantially corresponds to a shape of a serving dish lip, wherein portions of the ring element lip are formed to be positionable around at least a portion of the serving dish lip to provide frictional engagement between portions of said ring element lip and at least a portion of said serving dish lip, such that said ring element is capable of securing a foil pan within said serving dish.

The present invention relates to a multipurpose tray apparatus and a system including the same, and more particularly, to a multipurpose tray apparatus and a system including the same which provides additional functions such as charging of terminals or warming of beverages by an electronic device module constituted therein while mounting and fixing a beverage container. According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the multipurpose tray apparatus can be not only used as a tray for mounting and carrying beverages but also used as various uses such as charging of terminals or warming of beverages mounted on the multipurpose tray apparatus to ensure versatility through use extension as compared with existing trays limited to be used for mounting and carrying the beverage container, thereby enhancing the convenience of the user.

A tray system for use in a vehicle may include a tray support base that fits between seats of a vehicle, and a tray platform to support an appliance. A container support platform can be supported by the tray platform for supporting a container removable from the appliance. The tray support base can comprise first and second support legs supporting the tray platform. The first support leg can have a recessed portion to accommodate a transmission hump of the vehicle. A receiver tray can receive and support first and second support legs. A tray system for use in a vehicle may include a tray support base that fits between seats of a vehicle, and a tray platform supported by the tray support base. The tray system includes at least one drawer and a lower compartment to contain an electronics device.

Cartridges for maintaining objects at a desired temperature for extended periods of time can be constructed by sealing a thermoconductive cover on a flexible base container filled with a phase change material with a phase change temperature identical to the desired temperature.

A serving container and ring element system that includes a serving dish and a ring element having a ring element lip with a shape that substantially corresponds to a shape of a serving dish lip, wherein portions of the ring element lip are formed to be positionable around at least a portion of the serving dish lip to provide frictional engagement between portions of said ring element lip and at least a portion of said serving dish lip, such that said ring element is capable of securing a foil pan within said serving dish.

Crockery system comprising at least one serving dish (130), at least one form-flexible package comprising liquid thermal buffer material (120), and at least one optionally form-retaining package comprising phase-change material (110), wherein the at least one package comprising thermal buffer material is in thermal contact on the upper side thereof with the at least one serving dish and is in thermal contact on the underside thereof with the at least one package comprising phase-change material.

A food serving device including a main body configured to receive and serve food thereon. The main body includes an internal compartment configured to receive a temperature control element therein. The food serving device also includes a panel selectively engageable with the main body and movable between a closed position and an open position. When the panel is in the closed position, the panel closes the compartment and forms a contiguous enclosure with the main body such that the temperature control element is enclosed within the compartment. When the panel is in the open position, the panel exposes the compartment such that the temperature control element can be removed from the compartment.
