An inventive dish support assembly utilizes slots in a pair of panels to support dinnerware including a plate or dish. The dish support assembly may include a third member support which supports the pair of panels pivotably. The third member support may be supported by the pair of panels and another support structure. A set of equations define the most preferable shapes of the slots including an upper curved surface opposite a lower generally straighter surface with consideration of several sources of relaxation from a geometric description of the most preferable shapes. To insure a conforming capture of the supported structures, the respective slots or cut-outs may be covered with a resilient covering. |

A holding assembly for aesthetically displaying comestibles comprises a retaining structure and a positioning member. The retaining structure allows the user to firmly secure a comestible to the holding assembly. The retaining structure has two different embodiments: one embodiment for softer comestibles with a flat bottom, such as a cupcake, and another embodiment for more rigid comestibles with a round exterior, such as fruit. The first embodiment of the retaining structure is a platform with tines, and the second embodiment of the retaining structure is a hollow hemisphere with one tine. The positioning member is a long shaft that allows the user to position the comestible in a desired location. The top end of the positioning member is used to attached to the bottom of the retaining structure, and the bottom end of the positioning member is used to penetrate into a base in order to situate the holding assembly. |

The present invention features an apparatus for storing, preserving and dispensing perishable and degradable food and goods. A housing is provided, in which at least one modular unit is disposed. Physically removed from the modular unit is a vacuum pump for creating a partial vacuum therein.Optionally provided are a temperature control device to create and maintain a range of temperatures; a humidity control device to create and maintain a humidity range; and, a gas sourcing system to create and maintain various gas environments within the modular unit(s). The modular unit can be a slidable drawer. Moreover, more than one drawer can be provided, each drawer stacked above one another, with or without a housing, and all of the drawers being operatively connected to the vacuum pump, and optionally connected to the temperature control unit (only provided for the closed housing), the gas sourcing system and the humidity control device.The invention also features a method to create a partial vacuum environment in one-way valve containers and bags. A method is described wherein a vacuum or sufficient partial vacuum is created in a processing unit or sealed space, to in turn, create a partial vacuum in the one-way valve container and bag placed therein to preserve the contents. |

Systems and methods are disclosed for maintaining a low internal temperature in items held in an open container system. Example embodiments generate a stationary, insulating layer of cold air that covers the exposed surface and slows the transfer of heat from the environment. One example embodiment includes a storage container employing a free convection cooling mechanism adjacent to an exposed surface of a perishable. The free convection cooling mechanism acts to chill the air immediately above the exposed surface, thereby creating an insulating layer of cold air. By raising or lowering the temperature of this layer, the example embodiment may further be able to raise or lower the internal temperature of the perishable. |
