Plate having separator walls and suction base

Abstract

A plate includes an upper body having a circumferential wall and an upper side bottom surface. The plate also includes a base integrally formed with the upper body. The base includes a flexible base body configured to create a suction force when deformed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A plate, comprising:
 an upper body having a circumferential wall and an upper side bottom surface; and   a base integrally formed with the upper body,   wherein the base includes a flexible base body configured to create a suction force when deformed.   
     
     
         2 . The plate of  claim 1 , wherein the plate is made of a silicone. 
     
     
         3 . The plate of  claim 1 , further comprising a tab on the base body for releasing the suction force. 
     
     
         4 . The plate of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of separator walls integrally formed on the upper side bottom surface. 
     
     
         5 . The plate of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of separator walls include a first separator wall and a second separator wall, the first separator wall extending along a diameter, and the second separator wall extending along a half diameter perpendicular to the first separator wall. 
     
     
         6 . The plate of  claim 5 , wherein gaps are formed between two ends of the first separator wall and the circumferential wall. 
     
     
         7 . The plate of  claim 5 , wherein gaps are formed between an end of the second separator wall and the first separator wall, and another end of the second separator wall and the circumferential wall. 
     
     
         8 . The plate of  claim 4 , wherein the first separator wall includes a curved shape. 
     
     
         9 . The plate of  claim 8 , wherein a height of the first separator wall gradually decreases from a center portion to both end portions. 
     
     
         10 . The plate of  claim 9 , wherein a highest height of the first separator wall is at a same level as a top surface of the circumferential wall. 
     
     
         11 . The plate of  claim 4 , wherein the second separator wall includes a curved shape. 
     
     
         12 . The plate of  claim 11 , wherein a height of the second separator wall gradually decreases from a center portion to both end portions. 
     
     
         13 . The plate of  claim 12 , wherein a highest height of the second separator wall is lower than a top surface of the circumferential wall. 
     
     
         14 . The plate of  claim 1 , wherein the upper side bottom surface is slanted. 
     
     
         15 . The plate of  claim 4 , wherein a first depth of the plate at a portion adjacent an end of the second separator wall that is close to the circumferential wall is smaller than a second depth of the plate at an opposite portion. 
     
     
         16 . The plate of  claim 3 , wherein a portion of the base body includes a thin wall, a first portion of the thin wall adjacent the tab forms a first angle with respect to a horizontal plane formed by circumferential tip portions of the base body, a second portion of the thin wall opposite to the first portion forms a second angle with respect to the horizontal plane, the second angle being smaller than the first angle. 
     
     
         17 . The plate of  claim 3 , wherein a lower side bottom surface of the plate is slanted with respect to a horizontal plane formed by circumferential tip portions of the base body. 
     
     
         18 . A tableware container, comprising:
 a circumferential wall enclosing a space;   a bottom surface; and   a separator wall disposed in the space enclosed by the circumferential wall, the separator wall protruding from the bottom surface and both ends of the separator wall being separated from an inner surface of the circumferential wall by gaps.   
     
     
         19 . The plate of  claim 18 , further comprising a base including a flexible base body configured to create a suction force when deformed. 
     
     
         20 . The plate of  claim 19 , wherein the base body includes a tab configured for releasing the suction force when pushed or pulled.
