DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Refernng now to the drawings, and as seen in the example given in Figure 1, in one embodiment the present invention is a keepsake vessel 1, such as a plush toy animal or doll (as illustrated in Figure 1 ) , having a memorabilia compartment therein (not shown) for the placement, display and storage of a remembrance container therein which contains personal effects and mementos of loved ones, though it is conceivable that various other designs and other forms of keepsake vessels could be used, as would be apparent to a person skilled in the art. In one embodiment (not shown) of the present invention an exterior surface of the shell features a cap or cover closeable upon the memorabilia compartment, the cap or cover being integrally connected to the shell, and being moveable to and between an open position and a closed position. In a further embodiment, the cap or cover is hingedly connected to the shell. Attachment means (shown in Figure 4) are mounted within the memorabilia compartment, at one end, and another end is connected to the remembrance container, the attachment means being moveable to and between a display position and a storage position, the display position providing access outside of the memorabilia compartment to the remembrance container, and the storage position providing concealed storage of the remembrance container placed inside the memorabilia compartment of the shell.

In a preferred embodiment, and with reference to Figure 2, the present invention comprises a shell 2 having a front panel 3 and rear panel 5 each defined by edge portions which are connected together along a substantial length thereof to form the shell 2. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the front 3 and rear panels S meet so as to form the shell 2, the shell 2 having a slit or aperture 7 integrally formed therein, and which provides access to a memorabilia compartment 11 positioned within the shell 2. Preferably, the front panel 3 or rear panel 5 comprise a non-overlapping single piece of material (which is then connected to the opposed panel) having an opening defined therein.
It should be noted that it is also possible for the front panel to be comprised of overlapping plies of material.
Generally, the shell material used in constructing the keepsake vessel can be plastic, ceramic, metal, wood or a textile material, though it is conceivable that other variations could be used. It is also to be understood that the memorabilia compartment 11 within the shell 2, and the shell itself, can be adapted to accommodate varying sizes of any remembrance container placed therein.
As noted previously herein, and with reference to Figures 3 and 4, attachment means 13 are mounted on an interior surface of the memorabilia compartment 11, the attachment means 13 being moveable to and between a display position and a storage position; the display position providing access to the user for attaching personal effects and mementos to the attachment means for viewing by the mourners and loved ones, and the storage position providing concealed storage of the personal effects and mementos placed in the memorabilia compartment. Of course, the attachment means which are mounted within the memorabilia compartment are accessible through the memorabilia receiving opening 7 positioned on the exterior surface of the shell 2.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and with reference to Figure 4, the attachment means 13 comprises a first end 15 and a second end 17, the first end 15 being connected or sewn to an interior surface of the memorabilia compartment 11, and the second end 17 being connected to a securing device such as a clamp or clip or ring 21 detachably attached to the remembrance container, it being understood that various other designs and forms of securing devices could also be used, as would be apparent to a person skilled in the art. Of course, if the remembrance container containing the effects and mementos are to be removed or replaced from the clamp or clip or ring 21, it can be, in a preferred embodiment, detached and removed.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the attachment means 13 can, preferably, be made of textile or other fabric like material (and could be presented as a "string" or 'rope" of material, for example) one end of which is sewn into an interior surface of the memorabilia compartment 11 ), and the other end being detachably connected or attached, by means of the material, with reference to Figure 3, being "looped" 55 to clamp or clip or ring 21, which is, of course, connected to the remembrance container (not shown). Of course, when the remembrance container is to be used in the display position, the attachment means 13 and the remembrance container (not shown) connected thereto are removed through the slit or aperture 7, whereby the remembrance container is positioned outside of the memorabilia compartment 11 and exterior to an outer surface of the shell 2.

With reference to Figures SA, SB, SC and SD, the present invention comprises a remembrance container 23, having a first shell portion 2S connected to a second shell portion 27, and movable between open and closed positions. In a preferred embodiment, the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 are hingedly connected together (29). The first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 can be assisted in maintaining the closed position through use of a magnet 33, which inhibits the opening of the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 from each other, but yet does not prevent the opening thereof, if required or desired. With reference to Figure SA, the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 may also comprise, in a further embodiment, an attachment ring 77, which can provide for attachment to the securing device such as a clamp or clip or ring 21 shown in Figure 4.
In one embodiment of the remembrance container, and with reference to Figure SA and SC, the peripheral edge 15 of the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 contains a recessed groove 9 therein. Of course, it will be understood that the peripheral edges 1 S of only one of the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 may possess the recessed groove therein (in the embodiment shown in Figure SA), or both of the peripheral edges 1 S of the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 may possess the recessed groove 9 (in the embodiment shown in Figure SC). The recessed groove 9 can, in one embodiment, be filled with a sealant such as glue, for example, or the like. The peripheral edges 1 S of any of the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27 having the groove therein may then be covered, as shown in Figure SC, with a cover 17, so as to cover the peripheral edges 1 S of the first shell portion 2S and the second shell portion 27, the sealant in the glue providing the bond necessary to seal them together. In this manner, for example, personal effects of a loved one, such as the ashes of a deceased person, can be sealingly retained in the shell portions and sealed by the cover 17 placed thereon. With reference to Figures SC and SD, in another embodiment, such as when a picture or other memento of a loved one is placed within the shell portions, a framing member 19 can be positioned within any of the first shell portion 25 and the second shell portion 27, an outer circumference of the framing member 19 being slightly smaller than an outer circumference of any of the first shell portion 25 and the any of the first shell portion 25 and the second shell portion 27 for framing and highlighting pictures and mementos placed therein. The framing member 19 can be sealed in place with a sealant such as glue, or can be removably placed within any of the first shell portion 25 and the second shell portion 27, for removal by hand when desired. In this manner, the pictures and mementos can be viewed, provided that the user first opens the first shell portion 25 which is connected to the second shell portion 27.
Obviously, if personal pictures and mementos were to be replaced from any of the first shell portion 25 and the second shell portion 27, the first shell portion 25 would be swung open, the framing member 19 would be removed (if not sealed in place by the sealant), and the personal effects and mementos removed from the first shell portion 25 and the second shell portion 27. It will be understood that either of the first shell portion 25 and the second shell portion 27 can have sufficient depth to accommodate pictures, personal effects and mementos placed therein. It will also be understood that the cover 17 can be positioned so as to cover a framing member 19 which is positioned within any of the first shell portion 25 and the second shell portion 27.
The present invention has been described herein with regard to preferred embodiments.
However, it will be obvious to persons skilled in the art that a number of variations and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as described herein.
