This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,100.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

An improved food elevating platform that enhances food separation from liquids, featuring an adjustable wing system for versatility and a self-leveling mechanism for optimized performance.

Background and Problem Solved

The original food elevating platform patent (BACKGROUND) has limitations in terms of adaptability to varying container shapes and sizes, as well as the need for manual adjustment to achieve optimal food elevation. This new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing an adjustable wing system and self-leveling capability, providing a more efficient and effective solution for food separation and liquid retention.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced food elevating platform consists of a frame, a mesh screen, and an adjustable wing system that can engage containers at multiple levels. This wing system allows the platform to be adapted for use in containers of varying shapes and sizes. Additionally, the platform features a self-leveling system that automatically adjusts the platform's position within the container to optimize food elevation and liquid separation. The platform can be used in conjunction with a container to create a system for separating food and liquids, or as a modular system with interchangeable frames, mesh screens, and wing systems to accommodate different container types.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce the innovative concepts of an adjustable wing system and self-leveling capability, which are not present in the original patent. These features provide a significant improvement in the platform's versatility, efficiency, and effectiveness, making the new inventive concept novel and non-obvious compared to the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the enhanced food elevating platform could include different wing system designs, such as telescoping or pivoting wings, or the use of sensors and algorithms to optimize the self-leveling mechanism. Variations of the platform could also be designed for specific industries, such as food processing or medical applications.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced food elevating platform has significant commercial potential in the food processing, packaging, and medical industries, where efficient food separation and liquid retention are critical. The platform's adaptability to varying container shapes and sizes, as well as its self-leveling capability, make it an attractive solution for companies seeking to improve their food handling and processing operations.
