Retractable dividers for round prepared food containers

Abstract

The aforementioned dividing mechanism provides optional separation of goods such as prepared food products. The default position of these dividers, aligned with the perimeter, provides the ability to stack the adjoining bucket for convenient storage and allows containment of a large amount of a single product. The active position, extended at the option of the user, creates compartments in which to segregate different products or variations.

1 . Built-in retractable dividers allow for optional product separation in bucket-style containers. 
   
   
       2 . When product separation is not desirable, dividing mechanism may remain in default (open) position to maximize containment area and to allow stacking for efficient storage and transportation of multiple containers.
