Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

[0021] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a plastic bag having multiple compartments according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural and logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0023] The present invention is a plastic bag having multiple compartments in which different foods may be stored. The bag is partitioned into separate chambers so that several food items can be stored in the same bag with each food item having its own compartment. The number of chambers varies depending upon the specific storage requirements of the user.

[0024] For example, the multiple storage chamber bags may have two, three, or four separate storage chambers. Each storage chamber has its own pressure zipper locking mechanism such as a ZIPLOC mechanism to close the compartment and keep the contents of the chamber fresh.

[0025] Referring to the drawings particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective and a plan view of one embodiment of the present invention. Multiple compartment plastic bag system features two-container, having first compartment 1 and second compartment 2. First compartment has side edge 3 and lower edge 4, and second compartment has side edge 5 and lower edge 6. First compartment and second compartment are separated along shared edge 7, pre-sealed by heat or other convenient means. First compartment has mouth 8, and second compartment has a mouth 9 for inserting and removing food, each respective mouth being located opposite shared edge. Mouth of First compartment and second compartment is sealed by the pressure zipper seal 10 or other appropriate re-sealed means. Mouth is sealed by pressure zipper seal or other appropriate re-sealed means.

[0026] The inventive bags of the present invention are conveniently made from sheets of flexible plastic sheet or film such as polyethylene, but may be constructed from other appropriate materials. The bags are available in sandwich, quart and gallon sizes. The multiple compartments present the user the option to prepare an entire meal and store individual menu items in the individual compartments.

[0027] The plastic bag has multiple reusable compartments with square mouths for accommodating different foods. The plastic bag will have multiple compartments in which each two adjacent compartments share a common edge. The bag zipper pressure seals used for closure of each of the compartment mouths. Also the bag has multiple reusable compartments to prevent mixing of contents when stored together in a storage device, the bag is soft-side bag-like structure and sized a sandwich or a quart or a gallon. The plastic is both degradable and biodegradable and is comprised of double layered opaque material.

[0028] It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, the above-discussed embodiments may be used in combination with each other. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description.

[0029] The benefits and advantages which may be provided by the present invention have been described above with regard to specific embodiments. These benefits and advantages, and any elements or limitations that may cause them to occur or to become more pronounced are not to be construed as critical, required, or essential features of any or all of the embodiments.

[0030] While the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that the embodiments are illustrative and that the scope of the invention is not limited to these embodiments. Many variations, modifications, additions and improvements to the embodiments described above are possible. It is contemplated that these variations, modifications, additions and improvements fall within the scope of the invention.
