Container and condiment cup for refrigerated dough or like products

摘要

The container (10) has an elongate cylindrical body (11) with an interior wall (12) of a predetermined diameter and end closures (14). The condiment cup (20) is of a flexible plastic generally cup-shaped construction having a generally cylindrical side wall (21) closed at one end by a dome-shaped convex end (22) and open at the other end. The cylindrical side wall (21) has an outside diameter only slightly less than the diameter of the container interior wall (12) so as to provide a loose friction fit when the condiment cup (20) is positioned within the container cylindrical body portion (11). The condiment cup (20) is filled with condiment (C) and positioned within the container (10) at one end of the cylindrical body portion (11) with the open end of the cup (20) facing the end closure (14) at the one end. The container (10) is filled with refrigerated dough or other expandable product (P), so that, as the product (P) expands within the container (10), the product (P) will push against the dome-shaped convex end (22) of the condiment cup (20) for flexing the cup end (22) inwardly to cause flexing of the cup side wall (21) outwardly to provide a tighter friction fit with the container interior wall (12) to seal the condiments (C) in the cup (20) from the product (P) in the container (10).
