A nesting bowl is described and which, when used in combination with other nesting bowls of a similar design, permits a user to remove a smaller nesting bowl from the internal cavity of a larger nesting bowl by exerting a downwardly directed force on the circumscribing flange of the innermost nesting bowl so as to cause the innermost nesting bowl to assume an elevated, and angulated orientation which allows the innermost nesting bowl to be easily removed, by hand, without contaminating the internal cavity of the smaller nesting bowl. |

1. A nesting bowl, comprising:
main body which has a top peripheral edge, and an interior facing surface which defines an internal cavity and which further has a given shape and size, and wherein the main body has a circumscribing flange which is made integral with the top, peripheral edge, and which extends laterally outwardly therefrom, and wherein an annular channel having variable dimensions is defined by the interior facing surface, and which is located near the top, peripheral edge thereof, and wherein the main body of the nesting bowl matingly cooperates with a second nesting bowl which has similar features, and which is either of a greater or lesser size than the first mentioned nesting bowl, and wherein the first mentioned nesting bowl, and the second nesting bowl, when disposed in a nested relationship are oriented so that the circumscribing flange of each are oriented in a coplanar orientation, one relative to the other, and wherein an application of a downwardly directed force to the circumscribing flange of a smaller, innermost oriented nesting bowl is effective in moving the circumscribing flange of the innermost oriented and smaller-sized nesting bowl into an elevated, angular orientation relative to an outermost oriented, and larger-sized nesting bowl so as to assist in the removal of the innermost oriented, and smaller-sized nesting bowl from the outermost oriented, and larger-sized nesting bowl. |
