Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application claims priority from Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/755,942 filed on Jan. 23, 2013, entitled Velmont Universal Detachable Container/Bottle with Hinge & Buckle means, which application is assigned to the same assignees (Rashon Velmont & Sebastian Velmont) as this application and whose disclosure is incorporated by reference herein. Our invention has also been renamed to: Container/Bottle with Interior Access
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
  • This invention is particularly directed to Cosmetic, Household, and Condiment Containers/Bottles that hold liquid and viscous materials.
  • Cosmetic Containers/Bottles:
  • This Invention is useful for Containers/Bottles that hold Cosmetic viscous material such as Lotions, Liquid Soaps, Shampoos, Gels, Creams, etc.
  • Household Containers/Bottles:
  • This Invention is useful for Containers/Bottles that hold Household liquid & viscous material such as Water Bottles, Liquid Detergent, Dish Washing Liquid, Car Wax, etc.
  • Condiment Containers/Bottles:
  • This Invention is useful for Containers/Bottles that hold Condiment viscous material such as Ketchup, Mustard, Honey, Barbecue Sauce, Mayonnaise, etc.
  • Regarding the Field of the Inventions section above, the current Container/Bottle that exist on the market today lacks the design and functionality to release and allow access to 100% of the viscous materials in them.
  • Furthermore, when it comes to the daily use of a hollow container/bottles, such as water bottles that from time-to-time carry viscous materials in them (ie., smoothies), they are difficult to access for a full interior cleaning.
  • So from the current markets container/bottles functionality and design the consumers are burdened with the following:
  • Disposing Container/Bottle (Plus Pollution):
  • When the consumers are no longer able to access the viscous materials through the current markets Container/Bottle's general function, and dispose of that Container/Bottle, they are disposing a Container/Bottle that still has viscous material in it and experience a loss within their purchase by not being able to use 100% of that viscous material item. The remaining viscous materials in the disposed container/bottles also has an effect of the environment as they are being disposed with remaining chemical residues in them.
  • Holding Container/Bottle Upside Down:
  • Most consumers are aware of the loss that they experience with the current Container/Bottles on the market that carries viscous materials, and rather then disposing of the Container/Bottle once they are no longer able to access the viscous material through the current Container/Bottle's general function, they tend to place these Containers/Bottles upside down to allow the viscous material to slowly flow to the surface of the Container/Bottle and/or even hit the bottom of the Container/Bottle to speed up the process. Even though this might allow the consumer to access more of the viscous material it still does not give them 100% access to the viscous material and they are burdened by the time consuming process.
  • Cutting Open the Container/Bottle:
  • Most consumers are aware of the viscous material loss that they experience with the current Container/Bottle on the market, so they choose to cut the Container/Bottle open to have 100% accessibility to it. However, they run the risk of physical damage to themselves and others and/or even property damage. Still, even if they cut open the Container/Bottle successfully they still might experience the loss of the full use of the viscous material if it is not stored in another Container/Bottle that can be securely sealed in order to preserve the remaining viscous material.
  • Cleaning the Container/Bottle:
  • In hollow Container/Bottles, such as water bottles, a consumer might decide to pour a viscous material (smoothie, etc.,) in it, from which after usage they intend to clean. However, the narrow entrance to insert a cleaning cloth or sponge is typically limited to full interior access, which in turn leaves a leftover residue from the viscous material.
  • The Resolution:
  • Our invention has the functionality to allow the consumer full interior access to the Container/Bottle. In essence, our invention is a Container/Bottle that can be opened and closed manually by the user in order to access 100% of its viscous material, preserve 100% of the viscous material, and/or have 100% interior access for cleaning Container/Bottle.
    • SUMMARY OF INVENTION
  • This invention is developed on the above situations. The primary objective for our invention is to allow consumers that purchase viscous material products in a Container/Bottle to be able to access 100% of that viscous material by being able to physically open the Container/Bottle entirely with a full 100% interior access to the viscous material and to be able to securely close and lock the Container/Bottle when they desire to preserve the remaining viscous material, while keeping the entire Container/Bottle intact by the means of the hinge plus male and female buckle members affixed to it.
  • The secondary objective for our invention is to provide full interior access to hollow Container/Bottles (ei., water bottles) for the purpose of convenient interior cleaning.
  • All of the aforesaid mentioned can be accomplished with the functionality and design of our Invention.
