Abstract:
An expandable bowl has an open top and a plurality of configuration changing side members connecting the open top to a base member. The configuration changing side members are designed to allow a user to pull the base member to changing the side members from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, thereby increasing the overall volume of the bowl. The expandable bowl may be useful for various products, such as pre-packaged salads, where the salads may be packaged and displayed in the collapsed configuration, thereby minimizing shelf space, and may be changed to the expanded configuration by a user to permit tossing of the salad without risking spillage of the contents of the bowl.

Claim (Index 8):
The expandable bowl assembly of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of an inner diameter of a selected one of the configuration transition side members, an outer diameter of the selected one of the configuration transition side members, an angle of transition of the configuration transition side members between the collapsed and expanded configurations, and a steepness of angle inward and downward of the configuration transition side members in the expanded configuration are chosen to control a force and load required to make the bowl movable into the expanded configuration from the collapsed configuration and to make the bowl maintain the expanded configuration.
