Container for convenient dispensing of semi-solid foods

摘要

A system for the convenient discharge of a non-liquid comestible from a container includes a substantially unitary cylindrical sleeve formed of a substantially rigid material, the sleeve defined about a longitudinal axis and having first and second ends. A first base of the system is formed of a substantially rigid material and is defined by a radial cross-section of the sleeve. A periphery of the base is secured in integral communication with the sleeve proximally to the first end of the axis thereof. A quantity of the comestible is disposed within the sleeve and against the first base. A wafer-like piston is disposed co-axially with the sleeve, an interior surface of which is in contact with the comestible, the piston disposed in press-slidable complemental relationship to an interior surface of the sleeve. The piston defines a second base at a second end of the sleeve axis, and is secured in fluid tight relationship to the sleeve between the sleeve proximally to the second end of the axis. Circumferential means provide for manual release of the piston from the sleeve.
