Abstract:
A container, e.g., a container, cup, drinking glass, includes a mechanism for allowing a user to submerge a good substance, e.g., cookie into a liquid, e.g., milk. The mechanism has a spring-based frame with spaced-apart plates and a tab connected to the frame. The food substance is placed between the plates and the tab is pushed downwardly forcing the frame against a spring assembly and immersing the food substance into the liquid. Release of the tab releases the energy of the spring assembly to quickly raise the frame and the food substance out of the liquid. The mechanism may be an integral part of the container or it may be a removable unit. Since there are no loose parts to the mechanism, the user may drink the remaining liquid in the container after eating the food substance.
