Abstract:

A device for preserving freshness of contents, such as but not limited to, coffee, paint, nuts, etc. , of a container. The device includes a body and a handle. The body is free of venting bores, comes to rest on the contents of the container, and substantially engages the inner side surface of the container, to preserve the freshness of the contents of the container by blocking virtually all air in the container from contact with the contents of the container. The handle extends foldably from the body so as to self-fold onto the body and prevent interference of the handle with the lid of the container when the contents of the container are at such a level in the container that the handle would, in its normal upward position, be interfered with by the lid of the container.
