Summary

The application relates to a vacuum apparatus for foodstuffs in which an enclosure with a sealing lid is provided with a vacuum pump. Various sealing configurations are disclosed, with alternative latching mechanisms, and the pump may be manual. The applicant’s own prior art, published before filing in the UK, disclosed most of the invention and the Hearing Officer decided that there was nothing in what remained which could result in a patentable invention.
