Abstract:
A container apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a container provides a plurality of compartments radially arranged about the container, each of the compartments being sized and configured for removably receiving an at least one item. A cover is rotatably engagable with the container and configured for selectively covering and preventing access into at least one of the compartments. The cover defines an at least one cutout positioned and configured for selectively exposing at least one compartment of the container, thereby allowing access into said at least one compartment. In use, the apparatus is configured for allowing selective rotary motion of the container relative to the cover in a correct direction, while substantially preventing motion in an opposing incorrect direction.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for a user to consume a plurality of food items in a desired order utilizing a container apparatus comprising a container and a rotatably engageable cover, the container providing a plurality of compartments radially arranged about the container, the cover defining a cutout positioned and configured for selectively allowing access into at least one compartment of the container, and the container configured for being selectively rotated relative to the cover in only one direction, the method comprising the steps of:\n a) selectively placing each of the food items into the desired compartments of the container; b) engaging the cover with the container; c) positioning the apparatus so that the cutout of the cover is positioned proximal to the user; d) rotating the container relative to the cover, while the cover remains substantially stationary, until the compartment containing a first of the food items to be consumed is positioned directly under the cutout of the cover; e) consuming the food items within the compartment over which the cutout is positioned; f) rotating the container relative to the cover until a further one of the compartments is positioned directly under the cutout; and g) repeating steps (e)-(f) until the user elects to stop, or until all food items in the container have been consumed.
