Abstract

ABSTRACT ON THE DISCLOSURE

A utility capsule that is characterized by its simple and watertight construction and a smooth outer surface to be harm-lessly concealed in one's anus for transportation of small things such as could be used by secret agents, swimmers or any other person.
This utility capsule comprises opposite closed end sections and inter-mediate tubular sections of different lengths but always with the same outside diameter to be readily and variably adjustable in length while always retaining the same smooth outside surface.

Description

FIEL~ OF THE INVENTION

Thi~ invention relates to a small container of the typ~
formlng a utility capsule and made of selsctively usabIe aections for adjustment in léngth.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
A 6mall utility capsule or container ot the a~oue type is disclosed in the ~nited States Patent 2,759,59~ dated August 21, 1956.
The capsule defined in the patent is rather complex to sccomodste the clos~ng sleeues for the lateral aperture. There r-sults relatively expensive and relativeiy non-watertight construction due to the closing sleeves.
SUMMARY OF THE INV~NTION
$t is a general ob~ect o~ the present invention to provide a utility capsule Or the above type that is ot simple canstruction and watertight.
It i8 another ob~ect o~ the present invention to provlde H
utility capsule of the sbove type Shat is constructed and arranged with an essentially s~ooth outer sur~ace to be concealed in one~s anus and thus unconspicuously transport something such as could be u8ed by secret 2D agents, a swimmer or any other person.

It is a more speciric ob~ect o~ the present invention to provide a utility capsule o~ the above type that is made-with opposite closod end sections ~nd intermediate tubular sections ot difterent lengths but always with the same out~ide diameter to be readily and variably ad~us_ table in length while always retaining the same smooth outside sur~ace.
The above and othsr ob~ects and advantages ot the present inven-tion will be better understood with re~srsnce to the tollo~in3 detailed de~cription o~ 8 pre~erred embodiment thereof which is illustrated~ by way ot exsmple~ in the accompanying drawing; in whichs Figure 1 iB a perspectiue view of a watertight utility capuule according to the present invention and shown with one end section unscrewed;

~i09~6 Figure 2 is a longitudinal cross section through the wa~ort~ght utility cspsule ot Figura 1, with both end sections screwed il poa$-tion;
Figure 5 is a partial vi w of one end oection of the section~
and figure 4 is a laterel view of a watertight utllity oapsule accor-ding to a variant to stand upright on one en~.
The illu~trated watertight util$ty cap~ule 10 compri~es a pair of tubular end sections 11 and two tubular intarmediate extension sections 12 and 13 of different lengths. Obviously~ a larger number of tubular extenRlon sections such as 12~ 15 may be provided; preferablr also all of different lengths. Each of the tubular end secti~ns 11 is closed at` one end and open at the other. The closed end of the tutubsr end section 11 is outwardly rounded. The intermediate extension sec-tions 12~ 13 sre open-ended.
The opon end of one end section 11 and one end o~ each interme-diate extension section 12, 13 is internslly screw threaded. The open end of the other end section 11 and the other end of eaoh intermediate extension section 12, 13 is externally screw threaded to complementarily engage the internally ~crew threaded end of another section and thus assemble the sections tightly end to end.
As sho~n in Figures2 ans 3, any rounded end section may be provided with a lug 14 to attach the capsule to a chain or set of key.
As shown in Figure 4, the capsule may include at least one end section 15 formed with a squared end rather than a rounded outer end.
The sections 11~ 12, 13~ 15 are of constant cross aection and cooperatively form a capsuls with a smooth outer surface. The sections are molded of high d0nsity polyethylene. The constant cross section is of predetermined size arranged to fit in one u~er~s anus be 80 con-cesled.
The intermediate tubular extension sections of diff0rent length~

may be used selectively and ssparately intermediate the tubular opposite 1 ~ 6 0 9 b 6 end sections and thus form a capsule selectively varying in length from a shortest length merely including only the two opposite~end ssctions~ an intermediate langth also including at leaat one of the intermediate ~xtension sections~ and a longest length including all the $ntermediate extension aections intermediate opposite end sections 11~11 or 11~15.

Claims

THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY
OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:

1. A watertight utility capsule comprising a pair of tubular opposite end sections, each including a closed end and an open screw-threaded end, said closed end defining a rounded outer surface,at least one intermediate tubular extension section open at both ends, selectively engageable end to end one with another and with the tubular opposite end sections and cooperatively forming therewith a tubular fully-closed container, one end of each inter-mediate section and the open end of one opposite end section being internally screw threaded, the other end of each intermediate section and the open end of the other opposite end section being externally screw threaded complementarily relative to the internally screw-threading of said one end and the open end of said one opposite end section, and said tubular sections assembling end to end by screwing the externally screw-threaded ends into the internally screw-threaded ends respectively, said tubular sections having a constant cross-section and, when assembled, defining a completely smooth external surface, with flush joints at each pair of assembled tubular sections, the constant transverse section of said tubular sections being of predetermined size arranged to fit in one user's anus to concealably carry something dry in the user's anus.

2. A watertight utility capsule as defined in claim 1, comprising a plurality of intermediate tubular extension sections of different lengths selectively and separately usable intermediate the tubular opposite end sections and thereby forming a capsule selectively varying in length from a shortest length merely including only the two opposite end sections, an intermediate length also including at least one of the intermediate extension sections and a longest length includ-ing all the intermediate extension sections intermediate the opposite end sections.

3. A watertight utility capsule as defined in claim 2, wherein Raid sections are molded of high density polyethylene.
