FIELD OF INVENTION
This proposed invention is an operable device that improves the operation, capabilities, and ecological significance of current storage options used in the containment of disc-shaped objects, such as currency, or coins. The present development allows for rapid content procurement, easier processing, immediate accessibility and visibility, and direct input and supplementation of the receptacle, this is accomplished using an exposed opening integrated laterally along the container. This premeditated partial break in the wall and the compartment is specifically calculated to create a precise opening and hold, inducing pressure suitable to the dimensions of its corresponding object. Therefore, allow the contents to interchange while also providing fastening features, such as pressure or frictional contact that help secure and restrain the stored contents. By electing to utilize a flexible and or elastic material for the compartment, such as rubber or TPU, allows the integration of a negative tolerance, or a pressure fit, that helps secure and fasten the contents while also allowing for it to be readily unsecured for dispensing by applying some pressure. The container primarily uses durable plastics, among other materials with similar characteristics, this allows for the apparatus to be reusable and ecological.
BACKGROUND ¨ PRIOR ART
Existing methods generally used by most users are throwaway pre-rolled paper cylinders, and thermoplastic wrappers. Both concepts that have not been updated for several years and suffer from many shortfalls, such as these issues regarding pre-rolled paper cylinders:
= Refilling contents through a narrow opening is slow, cumbersome, inconvenient, and tedious, particularly if done by hand = Is not reusable, requires consistent replacement and repurchasing, creating an ongoing expense
2 = Often difficult to open and access the contained items, normally requiring ripping or smashing the wrapping against a hard surface = Machinery and instruments used to assist in processing and packing the rolls are expensive = Usually requires the entire roll amount to be provided in order to fill the roll = No visibility of its contents, therefore improper objects may be contained without inspection = Accessing individual items in the roll generally requires the user to completely dump out its contents = Can frequently cause contents to be misaligned within the tube = Generally cannot hold or assist in organizing the contents visibly, without deforming the cylinder, particularly to help with accounting procedures or transport = Possibility to run out of rolls due to the disposable nature of the container = Depending on the material used and quality of the roll, it may be prone to an inadvertent opening under impact or mishandling = When different rolls are used or the ends are not symmetrically folded, may affect the storage and stacking ability of the rolls The issues with thermoplastic wrappers commonly observed are:
= Bulky and takes up additional space, therefore unable to be used when space is limited or specific to smaller containers = Normally produced with poor material affecting the structure and reliability, particularly regarding its ability to store the accurate number of items = Often the structure is compromised and requires disfiguring the container in order to secure its contents or apply the cover when at capacity = Not intended for reuse or long term reusability = Locking mechanism can be difficult to use sometimes, requiring applied pressure or the application of tape = Reliability of container is often compromised and requires additional attention or needs to improve the security and function of the container = Due to the rigid thermoplastic properties that influence the desired position of the container and cover, may impede its ability to be stored or placed in small tight spaces when opened = Can sometimes fail to remain sealed under impact or mishandling, application of tape is often used to ensure proper closure ADVANTAGES
Other individuals have invented containers for coin storage, but this proposed invention encompasses additional functions and addresses many previous underlying issues. This invention was originally designed to provide a practical alternative to personally use, since the
3 existing available storage options were extremely inconvenient, inefficient, and could be easily improved. Even slight changes could resolve some of the reoccurring issues and greatly improve usability and productivity. Overall, the invention was to also offer a sustainable option and be produced competitively against currently available products. This invention intends to make significant strides and contributions to current methods of managing coins by offering a solution that:
= Is durable and reusable = Is easier, more convenient, and allow fast direct access to the contents individually, or to be completely dispensed entirely = Is able to directly load items into the receptacle, and does not require the entire quantity of the roll to be operational = Is more sustainable, ecological, and reduces landfill waste = Is able to provide visibility into the storage compartment for inspection = Is reliable in the structure, and ability to secure its contents using measurements calculated to offer appropriate contact = Is not difficult or expensive to manufacture = Is not too bulky or takes up a lot of space = Is able to allow for qualitative and quantitative information to be incorporated = Is able to provide even level, and symmetrical grouping or stacking of containers = Is able to provide consistency and uniform standards that are less prone to inadvertent rupture of the container walls or unintended release of the cover = Generally does not run out or require replacing = Is able to organize and limit the undesirable movement of the contents by restraining in an aligned order = Is able to assist and improve the tidiness and convenience during accounting procedures or transport = Allows for fast and easy access and rectification of any misaligned items in the compartment = Reduces the chances of human error, such as for improper objects to be identified and removed from the container which may have otherwise affected the calculations = Is able to assist, improve, organize, and be utilized during transactions or dispensing of the contents directly from the container = Is able to provide more stability, and limit movement or reduce inadvertent release by utilizing material that also provide additional friction and grip = Is more versatile = Is easier, and more convenient to use, and does not require additional equipment to significantly improve its use = Is able to accept attachments that may improve or provide additional functions, such as allowing it to be compatible with coin sorting machines
4 = Is simple, easy and can be used immediately with little or no direction = Can be modified to accommodate any differences, needs, or specifications of the storage item In accordance with one or more embodiments, an improved container for coins exceeds the scope of a storage vessel, but is able to provide additional functions and offer assistance in improving the performance and efficiency over previous methods. In one embodiment, it is able to be utilized and relied upon as a resource during certain procedures and needs, where it may concurrently be adopted to provide performance, cost, and operational improvements, particularly allowing for increases in optimization and efficiency. Coexisting use and integration of the embodiment during transactions, accounting and storage purposes allow fundamental tasks and inconveniences to be easily and readily completed and resolved by the embodiment.
One or more embodiments may demonstrate advantages and benefits in most tasks related to a particular procedure if not exhibit such in all aspects.
Embodiments may show immediate and observable utility in many tasks, and may show improvements of the following but not limited to: speed, accuracy, effort, convenience, cost, time, commitment, accessibility, requirements, organization, and resources dedicated to various undertakings. Such as, but not limited to: providing significant improvements to dispensing content, refilling the storage material, accounting or balancing any financial instrument, reducing human error, may allow certain procedures to be omitted, or reduce reoccurring expenses previously required by disposable alternatives, to name a few.
In many prior art examples, particularly prior art known to my awareness, which also share a similar "cover and container" design principle, ultimately lack compatibility with the transfer of contents from other sorting devices. This issue is addressed by one or more embodiments of this container, such as the integration of an accessory entrance or a technical change that utilizes a clip holding the contents be loaded into another shell, therefore shrink wrapped or machine wrapped coins may also benefit from one of more embodiments. An embodiment with a cylindrical perimeter around the container offer additional stability and rigidity, while producing rotational properties.
SUMMARY
Cash handling and currency management is a common procedure that most businesses and transactions require. This commonly entails storing coins in a tightly wrapped disposable wrapping that is usually completely dispensed into a container, becoming disorganized and distributed in a random fashion. The contents of the roll are then typically individually removed, via pinning to the compartment and dragging up against the wall when required.
When accounting procedures are required for the verification of the currency contained within a compartment or till, the coins are organized and normally individually counted, when a predetermined amount of a select denomination is achieved, it is packaged into rolls again. This
5 is usually accomplished by hand or funneled into a disposable paper roll from a coin sorting machine.
Current products as well as the most commonly adopted method, the disposable pre-rolled paper coin rolls have many disadvantages. They are usually difficult to open and require puncturing the wrapping for further access and unpacking of the roll. It is not uncommon for the user or cashier to be in a high-pressure situation where speed and access to the contents must be procured as rapidly as possible. The rolls of coins are commonly tightly sealed and require applying large amounts of force to open that can sometimes cause the wrapping to rupture and displace the coins in undesired directions ¨ this is particularly common when the coins are shrink wrapped.
Existing methods are generally single-use that become a reoccurring expense and inconvenience when the items require replacing, repurchasing, and restocking.
Inventory and attention to the quantity of rolls available for use is normally necessary in order to prevent completely depleting stock levels. Additional time and effort are required when replacing and replenishing the product, a compulsory undertaking when the container cannot be reused.
Therefore, over the long run, a reusable container is able to reduce costs and limit reoccurring expenses while providing a sustainable alternative, such as silver and glass utensils instead of disposable plastic accouterments.
Disposable containers typically do not allow the contents to be directly retrieved or organized within the storage compartment, and require the entire predetermined amount of the container to be collected in order to fill the roll. Inspection of the contents in a disposable parchment container is usually not possible, and is limited or restricted in providing accounting assistance or quantitative functions. Due to the consistency in size and dimension of coins and tokens, a predetermined amount should generally produce an expected value and volume.
Therefore, without measurement capabilities or quantitative abilities regarding the accuracy of the contents in the compartment, this method may be predisposed to additional human error.
Due to the material and design of single-use parchment rolls, it can often permit coins to be misaligned and incorrectly oriented within the tube, requiring the user to partially empty if not completely dispense the contents and restart the refilling process.
Filling of the tube is commonly done by hand and can be quite tedious, time consuming, and inconvenient. Certain techniques are usually adopted in order to potentially illicit improvements, expedite the transfer, reduce incorrect orientation and allow the items to be transferred through the narrow opening and into the roll for wrapping. Direct placement of currency into the wrapping is usually not possible, particularly with paper rolls, which require funneling from an exposed and open end.
Depending on the material and quality of the wrapping, the coin roll can be very delicate and prone to inadvertent opening under impact. Also, the ends of the pre-rolled parchment containers rely on two internally folded ends that forms the closing mechanism, which also
6 creates an unsymmetrical and contoured surface. Therefore, the incongruence may limit the number of rolls that could be stacked reliably. In addition, due to the dimensional inconsistency of the folded ends, this may result in lengths of different sizes, thus preventing the ability to set pre-determined lengths that can verify for numerical accuracy.
Some containers, such as thermoplastic wrappers rely on the container to compress and distort in order to verify the accuracy of the stored contents, as well as create enough tension for the locking mechanism. The structure would require precise and consistent integrity of the spacing and flexibility to fulfill locking requirements, which the additional part may physically impede the dimensional advantage provided by other options. Due to the material and needs of this container, consistent and reliable storage may be compromised.
Prior art such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,957,275 to Lemaire (1999) and U.S. Pat. No.
4,139,093 (1979), 4,541,528 (1985) to Holmes (1985) require additional volume and space in order to utilize and operate directly from the container. These patents involve the hinged cover to open towards the lateral which require excess space. U.S. Pub. No. 2007/0187403 Al and U.S. Pat.
No. 376,966 to Lonitz (1888) uses two separate parts as a tray and a sheath, the sheath must be removed in order to access the contents of the tray. The sheath, being quite large and bulky also takes up additional space in possibly a confined area such as inside the till, or become misplaced since the components are not attached to each other. Although the contents may be removed freely, additional dispensing improvements for more effortless extraction are not discussed.
Patents such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,541,528 (1985) to Holmes (1985) incorporates the use of a compartmentalized system to separate a roll into smaller constituents, this prevents the container from accepting currency dispensed from a mechanical coin sorter due to inhibiting the pathway of the coins, such as a funneled chute is able to avoid. The extra material used to create walls for separating and compartmentalization may add to the size of the container and reduce its ability to be compact.
The prior art U.S. Pat. No. 3,085,378 to Howard (1963) utilizes a transparent vessel in order to accommodate graduated markings when determining the quantity or value in a tube.
This may forfeit many material options and limit the choices available, as well as apply pressure to the cost and preference in the selection of constituents which may lack the structural integrity and appropriate rigidity in providing accurate and durable performance. Other favorable features such as being light in weight and form fitting may be compromised.
Nevertheless, all prior known containers suffer from one of a number of disadvantages.
Insofar as I am aware, no container with those previously indicated mechanics have been proposed, or of an intention for a coin casing with the ability to be integrated and simultaneously used during transactions, accounting, and storage. This is proposed in order to achieve optimal results and gains in performance, cost, optimization, and efficiency, creating advantageous improvements over the prior.

One embodiment of the container is presented in Fig 1-Fig.5, the container 100 is created from a flexible material, such as TPU plastic, allowing for the application of a negative tolerance on the stored objects, such as from the opening 104, which is smaller than the diameter 112 of the item to be contained, and a length 114 slightly smaller to, equal to, or larger than the length of a predetermined number of items in an arranged order. The dimensions may slightly change depending on the desired tolerance needed, as well as depending on the properties of the materials used.
8 In one embodiment, the container 100 can be injection molded, with the possibility of structural points be more rigid, and certain components be in a more flexible state offering favorable functions, such as with flexible plastic or rubber. However, the container can consist of any other material (and manufactured in any other method) that allows the properties of the embodiment to function appropriately as well as be manufactured in any other method desired. Since a person skilled in the art may simply select a material or method for manufacturing to their better judgement. For example, a flexible plastic such as poly-ethylene-tere-phthalate (PET) or other material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl, nylon, rubber, leather, various impregnated or laminated fibrous materials, or plasticized material be desired and manufactured using thermoplastic or injection mold.
The interior storage compartment 102 is generally equal to, smaller than, or larger than the diameter 112 and length 111 of the predetermined items, depending on the desired needs of the situation. Such that additional spacing may be added to address for variance or provide extra movement. A person skilled in the art may easily determine the space allotted for this purpose based on the material and result desired. Such that the opening 104 may have a reduced dimension or be slighting smaller than the diameter 112 in order to produce additional friction when removing contents, therefore preventing unintended ejection or expulsion of contents.
A border 130 or appropriate perimeter around the compartment extending through the longitudinal side walls of the container 114 that transitions into the top 110 and bottom rim 128 which forms the top 108 and sides 124. The border 130 allows the side walls of the container 114 create contact providing additional grip, as well as a boundary preventing unintended loss of its contents 102. The bend and structure of the side 114 into the border 130 and opening 104 allows for flush contact and improved safekeeping of the contents 102. In Fig.5, it displays the frame 130 around the opening 112 enclosing a proportional quantity of the interior compartment 104 and its contents. The frame 130 is such designed to accommodate a level of grip around any present item 102 and offer appropriate containment around the large accessible opening 112. The thickness of the container 110 at the ends can be equal to the thickness of the longitudinal side walls 114 and the thickness of the border side walls 130, or approximate, which may vary depending on the material, rigidity desired, structural integrity, overall dimensions of the embodiment, and such. A material that provides grip, such as a flexible plastic at specific thickness can wrap around the contents stored, into the interior storage 102 and to the opening of the container 104.
Typically, the thickness of the container and side wall is each 1.5 mm.
Although, preferably the thinner the better but also provide the desired structural properties and durability intended. Specific materials behave differently under different conditions and dimensions, generally flexible material increase in their flexibility as thickness is reduced.
The compartment length 102 is determined by the dimensions of the predetermined content and starts 136 and ends 134 at the lip of the container, ideally running the entire
9 length. Therefore allowing an exact quantity of stored units, in the correct orientation, to be held consistently.
The utilization of a material that also provides some amounts of friction may also be advantageous in offering further security and grip on its contents. Certain production methods and processes may be more favorable depending on what is desired, such as using injection molding when producing on a mass scale, this reduces the production costs and generally lowers the purchase price to remain competitive. Linear dimensions of the container are determined by calculating the length of a predetermined quantity of items contained in a complete roll, this capacity is generally customary to what is already typically adopted.
Additional properties that may, or may not be included, such as a depression 122 or recess to allow for easier removal of contents, particularly when full, is integrated at the end of the compartment or other ideal place, and can be altered in size, shape, and dimension, if at all.
Qualitative information can be represented using graduated markings, or other methods on the container 116 or cover 124 or ends 106, as well as in the interior 102, and can vary in the format, arrangement, design, and such. Typically, a quantitative figure and a numerical value based on currency are presented.
The interior compartment 102 along with any content can be observed from the opening 104 typically running the length or height of the of compartment entrance 118, and narrower than the width of the item or compartment opening or base 130.
In one embodiment, a hole 108 at the top end of the container is incorporated that allows visual of the contained elements and the ability to discern the contents of the container.
Additional applications may also be functional, such as but not limited to integration with other interfaces and objects like funnel.
Typically, when restoring or refilling the contents of the interior storage compartment 102, access through the front opening of the container 104 is used. If the hole at the top end is of the appropriate size, particularly when equal to or greater than the dimensions of the content being stored, or to the base of the compartment 138, allows for the storage material to be refilled through this opening as well. This additional entry into the storage compartment may be useful when refilling with a sorting device that dispenses a predetermined amount. A
funnel or a curved structure may be integrated into the circumferential opening that assists with the refilling process and allows for improved convenience.
This opening may be sealed and closed with a plug or barrier to prevent any unintended loss of the stored items. In another embodiment, the top and bottom ends of the container 106/128 or cover 148/156 ¨ whichever provides the enclosing anterior and posterior end barriers ¨ may be entirely enclosed without a through-hole, as well as display symbolic markings, particularly regarding the contents of the container or in conjunction with other features, such as a hollow depression or contour and docking structure that allows for the containers to be stacked or condensed ¨ similar to a marker, or stackable chair.
10 Understandably, a person skilled in the art may alter the dimensions, properties, characteristics, descriptions, details, location, feature of the various parts that are mutually involved or engage able, or that participate in providing a function and property of the embodiment. For example, a transparent cover with markings and inscriptions that convey compartmental and qualitative data may be used in conjunction with physical compartments which reduce any numerical error that may be additive regarding the predetermined length. Or, the cover in one embodiment may extend around, or more than half of the cylinder in order to remain stabilized onto the container, allowing rotation to be possible.
Accordingly several advantages of one or more aspects are as follows: to provide a reusable and durable alternative in a market that is currently prevailed by single-use disposable containers, that provide an improved means to assist in dispensing and maintaining better organization of the contents, as well as improvements in speed and cash handling, that is able to dispense or provide assistance in the improvement of this procedure, that allow for immediate access or containment of the storage compartment, that allow quantitative measurement figures to be integrated with the container, that can significantly reduce the refill period and inconveniences associated in prior processes, that allow the contents to be organized and positioned for optimal retrieval or results corresponding to the needs of the procedure and task, that allow storage at any vacant capacity, that allow inspection and observation of the storage compartment, that can prevent undue rolling or unintentional displacement of the container, that allow recovery of a stored item in the container without requiring the contents to be entirely emptied, that can be cooperatively used with other accounting apparatus, that can provide an accurate method in compartmentalizing a predetermined quantity of the corresponding item, that is able to limit or prevent misaligned or incorrectly oriented items, that provide dimensional consistency, that is able to adopt to changes or design improvements (i.e. inclined till compartments), as well as many other benefits. Additional advantages in one aspect or another will be expressed in the following figures and accompanying sections.
OPERATION ¨ FIGS 1-FIGS
The manner in which to use the container 100 requires one to insert any amount of the corresponding item, such as disc-shaped objects like coins or tokens, within the allowable predetermined quantity in the compartments 102 ¨ ideally to the full capacity of the container.
This action can be done directly from the front opening to the storage cavity of the container 104, or if an existing through-hole 108 is integrated at one of the ends. A boundary 130 is present over the storage cavity at the front of the container, enclosing any contents within the compartment. Additional items exceeding the capacity and surpassing the height of the compartment 118 cannot be accepted since the limitation of available space has been reached.
11 Inscriptions and markings 108, 116, 124, 126, can provide numerical or qualitative data regarding the quantity or identification of the stored items. In the closed secured position, observing the contents of the storage compartment can be viewed from the opening 104.
Extracting or recovering the items contained in the interior storage compartment 102 requires slight pressure or adjustment of the orientation around the frame 130 so that the opening of the container can be accessed ¨ similar to the steps in the closing process, but in reverse. In one or more embodiments, a cover or secondary component can be held attached to the container 100, such as where the recess ends or meets 124 opposite to the front opening 104, temporarily until the container is to be closed.
In the open or uncovered position, the items can be dispensed and retrieved individually or in groups directly through the through-hole of the container. A depression or recess that allows improved extraction and placement of fingers 122 to position and grasp the contents may be integrated at the ends or at another convenient location. The container 100 is typically intended to be utilized together with the stored items so that the contents may be directly extracted and accessed directly from the container. Therefore, items in the storage compartment does not need to be emptied or vacated from the container into another vessel to be accessible.
An opening, smaller than the dimension of the stored items at the most anterior ends 108 may be present and permit the user to identify the contents without allowing the items the ability to travel across. Although, it may be adapted to incorporate a large enough opening for the items to pass through, particularly in order to address the needs of a sorting device when it is used alongside the container. Modifications to the receiving hole may be integrated to assist and provide improved reception and acceptance of items, such as with a funnel or a concaved figure. A plug, cap, or other barrier may be required to enclose the container and prevent any unwanted items from being unintentionally released through the receiving through-hole. The anterior and posterior ends can be sealed and entirely closed in one or more embodiments, motifs and markings may be integrated to provide additional information, such as to the assigned and allowable contents of the container. At the ends, a docking structure and its depression at the opposite end may be incorporated to provide additional stacking features.
ADDITIONAL EMBODIMENTS
These are not the only embodiments of my invention, alternatively:
= Through holes or methods to contact the contents or compartments from an angle other than from the frontal opening could be integrated. These could be used for various needs, such as to help push out contents particularly when full, increased visibility of the contents, reduction of material, manufacturing improvements, etc. For example, in order to more easily eject the contents, a passage or design in the back of the casing can be incorporated to push out the contents
12 = A closed curve or entrance able to accommodate an attachment from sorting machines or other objects may be added to an embodiment. For example, a circular hole or C-shaped end, with a rim, could allow a tube to access the interior from the ends, or by placing an entrance accessible only from an angle or at positions from the side. Other embodiments could opt for different materials of various properties to allow for better performance of a desired function, for example, a material with greater elastic abilities may be selected to improve attachment with a funnel or other device.
= Specific punctures or breaks in the casing may be added for mechanical or functional features. For example, small unique holes may be present to allow for increased flexibility or structural allowances.
= Embodiments of different shape, size, texture, dimensions, shape, characteristics, details, features, and such can be modified as desired. For example, textural changes, such to allow increased friction may be used to improve security or grip of the casing. A
matte finish or smoother feature may be adapted in different regions for particular needs = Size of openings at different areas of the casing, or transition may be incorporated to elicit a particular requirement. For example, the longitudinal opening may not extend the entirety of the length of the compartment, or may extend past the ends of the casing through the boundary ends and such.
= Operation or use of another supply may be possible in one or more embodiments. For example, an object, or contraption to interface with an accounting device may be used to function more appropriately. Such as to collect the contents or align in a favorable fashion.
= Attachments or particular means to the invention may be possible, for example, a sleeve to help contain or allow for certain needs may be used = Changes to the structure and make may also be possible, for example, a bag or cylindrical sack may be preferred than of a more rigid embodiment, therefore certain features may be omitted or added such as a closing mechanism ideal for a bag like form with no longitudinal opening = Adjustments to accommodate manufacturing objectives or legal purposes may be applied. Such that they are, but not limited to, abiding or bypassing regulations or subject of a similar nature and business. Or infill and spacing to assist in production outcomes and behavior.
= Modification to improve stability or unwarranted movement of the container may be integrated, for example the use of certain protrusions, shapes, or non-cylindrical embodiment may be present = Rims may be existent in one of more embodiments, such as to keep the contents secure within the interior compartment, but allow reduction of walls or to accommodate certain features, like openings
13 = A curved tip or border that form somewhat of a funnel or structure to help receiving objects into the interior may be present in one of more embodiments = Several windows or omitted sections may be possible = A spacing may be used to improve extraction of the contents from the interior compartment, particularly when full and more difficult to eject = A guidance component may be applied to assist in the insertion or displacement of the storage contents CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE
Therefore, from what is proposed, it can be observed that at least one or more embodiments of the storage device provides a more economical, reusable, functional, and effective device that has been further optimized to increase the ease of use for the user.
Although specific descriptions were used to help clarify and provide better understanding, these should not be taken as limitations on the scope, but used instead to convey and be offered as examples to the corresponding embodiment. Several other variations or modifications are also possible and able to exist, for example, dimensional changes regarding the various components and aspects obvious to the needs of a person skilled in the field may be exercised. Along with this change, a multitude of other differences can be incorporated, such as rearranging or exchanging parts from one location to another counterpart specific to the needs of the user or person familiar in the field. Since a final version of the product has not been confirmed, a multitude of changes may occur to best accomplish the benefits it may provide.
Several potential embodiments may make alterations to the current existing components, such that certain aspects may be removed or adopted more significantly.
Numerous examples such as, but not limited to: through holes or transparent areas may be reduced or scaled, along with symbolic markings, particular functions or usability correspondingly. Many other variations that have not been stated, but obvious to a user skilled in the discipline, are also possible.
Changes to the size, material, shape, color, attachment, connection or association with adjacent elements may be different. These, as well as many other modifications depending on the mode or operational requirement, such as the locking mechanism, operational functions, and many others. Different methods may also be possible, along with aspects regarding production, such as being manufactured integrally or separately, modular or in sections, to name a few. Repurposing or alternating certain functions with different components can be accommodated in the final version, as well as optimizing the placement and needs of the operation to name a few.

In Fig 2A to 2C, the embodiment utilizes a cap to secure and confine the contents, more than one component may be possible in an embodiment. According to figure 2A, this embodiment elects a three module piece design, while 2B has an attached hinged design therefore making two component part, among the many other variations it may have. Figure 2C
displays a combined and closed form of the cap and cover over the container.
In Fig 3A to 3C, additional embodiments and variations are illustrated to showcase the numerous embodiments it may have. Fig 3A presents a cover with quantitative figures that wraps around the container and intended to function as a cap covering the storage compartment; Fig 3B presents an embodiment that share similar shape to two "L"s, with each "L" comprising an end stop and longitudinal wall that can be joined in opposite orientations, together they come to create both end and the exterior walls of the container;
Fig 3C
demonstrates a circular structure in cylindrical form that can act as a cover piece as well as an embodiment that reaches and wraps around the perimeter of the container. This may require adjustment of the cover in a tangent direction which are held in place by a track and rail structure, and is not intended to be detached from each other.
In Fig 4A to 4C illustrates a locking mechanism through its various orientations, in which the cap may be secured to the end of another component. Principally, the capsule will be of a flexible material that can allow the lips of the cap become secured under the border of the capsule in one or more embodiments.
In Fig 5 displays a select few of the numerous options available that convey data or significant figures and measurements, particularly adaptable to providing quantitative descriptions and numerical information of the items contained within the storage compartment.
This may be represented on the container, or cover, or displayed in any fashion that can provide the best results in terms of accuracy and precision in accordance to the embodiment.
In Fig 6 displays evidence of significant changes to the features, figure and form as required in an embodiment, for example one with more or less three corners is able to secure and encase the appropriate areas around the perimeter of a cylindrical object while also allowing a predetermined quantity to be held together. Rotation of the closure may also be integrated.
In Fig 7 displays an embodiment that intends for the container, such that the compartment, can be secured and placed within the cover or vice versa; as well as an embodiment that allows the cover to be rotated around the container.
Strategic rotation and proper orientation of any exposed openings corresponding to the desired process, for example a container can be oriented with the exposed end in alignment with the exposed end of the cover, permitting its use for receiving coins from a sorting device as well as by hand. When the desired amount of content is reached, the container may be flipped so that the enclosed end is now facing the same direction as the exposed end of the cover, creating a plug and barrier for the container and therefore having the ends of the container and cover facing outwards.
In the case where the cover has two open ends, it prevents unintended loss from the container and allows it to be secured onto the container via a lid with a diameter greater than the outer diameter of the cover, or the cover is fixed within a channel or similar mechanism that prevents detachment requiring and maintaining the stationary position except in a rotational direction. The structure and method of rotation can vary significantly, such that modifications and alterations can be made to, but not limited to, changing the connective, flush, attachment, continuity, component, integration, and platform of the mechanism in the embodiment.
In Fig 8 presents aspects of another embodiment with the container and cover enclosing in opposite orientations, but functions similar to previous embodiments such as the embodiment in Fig 1. Allowing one component to be on the exterior and another on the interior, while one provides more of the shell and the other the compartment with roles reversed from what was depicted in Fig 1.
In Fig 9A to 9B is depicted in an axial sectional view of one embodiment that intends to increase the operational and structural integrity of the container and its containment needs. General function is to secure the cover to the container in a manner that will reduce unintentional compartment openings or accidental cover detachment.
Many other options are possible, which may depend on the specifications of the other components, such as material or thickness; modifications for improved attachment, such as fastening of pieces, locking mechanisms, material options like Velcro, among the many possibilities.
Fig 10A to 10C presents different mechanisms and forms for the enclosing of the ends based on the needs of the embodiment, of which there are many other interchangeable options. Such as a removable end wall that conceals and secures the superior opening, which is used primarily for receiving items from a sorting device. In Fig 10A to 10C a sliding lid fits within a channel horizontally, and a trough with holding potential such as friction fit hold is able to grip the components.
Structural changes or additions, such as channels or troughs may be incorporated to fit other parts and allow additional control, for example such to allow for a reinforced hold, longitudinal channels that run along the container or other component, which is used in conjunction with a constituent that allows mobility and attachment along the channels. For less movement and more fastening requirements, an embodiment may require the constituent and its contoured track to be directly overlapped over each other, minimizing or preventing any unintended tangential detachment of the pieces. Many other options are also available.
In Fig 11A to 11B illustrates in cross section, embodiments that aims to provide additional advantages, such as to the containment, retrieval, and security of the content. Modifications to the embodiment reduces the likelihood of unintended movement or loss of items, such as during accidental impact or roll. Minimizes linear ejection through the compartment opening by requiring a transverse or directional change to the item before it may be extracted. Figure 11A

has more severe angle that requires extraction to the side, while Fig 11B is to the opposite end and forward, although many different possibilities are possible.
In Fig 12 demonstrates an embodiment with a recess between the top and bottom preventing unintended movement in the superior and inferior direction, while providing many other benefits. Although similar to Fig 1 which prevents the cover from undesirable superior and inferior movements, as well as have arms that can grasp the sides of the container preventing frontal and posterior movement unintentionally. With the use of a flexible material, the cover can be contracted around the sides improving fastening abilities.
The addition of securing mechanisms may also be desirable, such as projections on the cover that may rest and attach to the holes of the container and allow for additional fastening features. The cover, when oriented in the open position, may decrease the width of the container opening such that additional friction is provided when removing the contents ¨ this allows for the contents to be secured and reduces the chances of accidental loss of content Fig 13A to 13C displays different embodiments of a cap connected to or unconnected to another component, as well as if it attaches internally or to the exterior of the embodiment.
Three of the numerous possibilities for lid closures are illustrated in these figures. Fig 13A
requires the lid to bend around a hinge, Fig 13B contains a lid that fits within the inner diameter of the opening, and Fig 13C utilizes a lid that fit to the exterior of the container. In accordance to the embodiments, but are not limited to only these options.
Fig 14A to 14C shows different spacing options for the benefit and improved convenience in extracting contents in accordance with select embodiments. In Fig 14A, relief of the anterior wall along with parts of the dorsal end has been removed equal to the diameter of the opening;
Fig 14B shows minimal reduction in the exterior wall but instead includes a small indentation;
Fig 14C has increased the removed area and allotted more space to providing an opening for better reach, convenience offered to a broader population, and improved contact with the contents ¨ some being very small coins. A variety of additional embodiments addressing this function may be incorporated or used to replace current embodiments, such as depressions or offset surfaces, and such.
Fig 15A to 15B presents the addition of an incline directly into an embodiment or to the exterior of an embodiment, perhaps as an accessory in accordance with select embodiments. The incline functions to add convenience and ease when removing coins from the container. At an angle, and assuming the user is in front of a container which is around table height, will allow for additional ease and observation of the contents. The inclined component may be incorporated into the compartments of the coin and cash tray. While also allowing for cylindrical troughs for users who do not extract directly from the container or want to pull from the inclined property of the compartment. Docking or additional features to hold the embodiments may also be incorporated into the compartments of the tray.

Fig 16A to 16D displays a stackable quality in various stages of use and angle in accordance to the embodiments. The lid and base of the container allow for a tailored attachment between the two parts permitting the embodiment to be stacked and confined. The stacking components may be on any logical component or orientation appropriate to allow stacking, at any size, with any other design, and tailored to the friction desired. In an embodiment that contains a lid, this may be a component that integrates the stacking feature as a method to temporarily hold or rest the lid until it is needed.
Fig 17A to 17D illustrates various views of a rotatable embodiment that can be adjusted due to the requirements of the task, adjustment may happen from the base in accordance with one embodiment. A cover that can be rotated around a desired area, particularly to contain or reveal the contents of the embodiment. Although, rotation is not required to transpire from the base or by the protrusion, it can be from another component or with the handle attached at another location. Rotation can happen from any of the components and not only of the cover.
Different designs, sizes, and combinations may be used for different embodiments.
Fig 18 shows that the container can incorporate different internal accessories, such as a spring that allows the stored items to be oriented in a desired position and placement, as well as for the contents to be accessed or contained at a designated area, in accordance with an embodiment. Other proponents also available, such as friction modifying components, material benefits like Velcro, and many other accessories allowing the addition or improvement of one or more functions.
Fig 19 presents various design options, but not limited to, for the compartment entrance which also provide additional functions if needed, such as qualitative motifs in regards to the contents in accordance to another embodiment.
Fig 20 displays various, but not limited to these design options, for the compartment entrance that may also provide additional functions, such as improved operations in regards to the contents in accordance to another embodiment Fig 21 demonstrates various general forms or shapes that are possible embodiments, but are not limited to these options. Previous figures have illustrated the use of some of these options and the specific or additional benefits offered in those orientations.
Fig 22 presents the incorporation of significant figures or markings to display and convey symbolic meaning in accordance with one embodiment. Primarily incorporated at the top of the container as well as other places, to identify the contents in the storage compartment.
Identifying the contents through the top may also opt for the through-hole opening that can provide visual observation into the cavity without dimensions large enough that the contents may freely pass through.

Fig 23A to 238 shows various aspects and orientations of a closure that has reduced the walls into the minimal needs that also allow containment, primarily by having a cumulative total of three separate arms in accordance with one embodiment.
Fig 24 illustrates various aspects of an opening that allows for an additional convenience to refilling, particularly from a sorting device, such as a funnel in accordance with one embodiment. For example, the slight curve and funneled contour provides additional refilling benefits and improvements to a narrow opening, such that it provides additional control to the incoming items in the appropriate orientation and directed towards the required direction.
Fig 25A to 25C shows possible, but not limited to these cap and container embodiments that can provide additional functions or offer desirable properties and features, such as in accordance with different embodiments. In order to reduce material requirements, eliminating areas that may not be necessary is a possible solution. Or allocating the material to areas that may benefit from improved structural integrity or reduction in overall size.
Fig 26 details a cover that can be securely fixed onto the container, possibly by a channel and groove intended to prevent or minimize any unintended detachment, while also perhaps allowing the cover the ability to rotate in accordance with one embodiment.
Various embodiments intended to accomplish and provide similar functions are possible, therefore the embodiments are not limited to a lip and track structure, or a partial circumference cover to state a few.
Fig 27 presents a degree of space, more or less to allow the contents to be freely moved into and out of the container, particularly without friction or so that an intended amount of friction is created in accordance with one or more embodiments. Various preferences and modifications can be made to the dimensions and specifications that provide or reduce certain needs of the embodiment. Ideally a secured fit is preferred, but alterations to the opening or the contact made between other components and boundaries with the storage items can provide additional security and lower risk of incidence Fig 28 a perspective view of a container that has an outer shell and a protruding end that allows for a specific closure to be allowed in accordance with one embodiment. The shell or cover can be used as an exterior enclosure that is able to rotate or remain as one component with the container. An embodiment with just the cap and container can also be modified from the embodiment, therefore behaving similarly to the current single-use disposable coin rolls.
Fig 29 shows an aspect of an integrated attachment, or external accessory that allows one to elevate or stabilize the container in accordance with one embodiment. The component can come connected to the container or other structure, or it may come as a detached external addition. The location, size, figure, and such can be modified for different embodiments.
Fig 30 displays various aspects of a container with a flat surface, or one that allows the combination of the container and cover to shield or provide a closure to the contents in accordance with another embodiment. The end of the container can encompass many different variations such as two semi shaped ends that make a full enclosure when combined, a through-hole, components for stacking, or other feature Fig 31 demonstrates a possible design feature that identifies intervals without physically compartmentalizing or confining the contents in accordance with one embodiment. One of many nonintrusive methods that allow predetermined quantities of the content be identified.
Depending on the confines and edges of the boundaries, the placement of the wall may assist to reduce accidental ejection of the contents from the storage compartments.
Due to minimizing contact and separation of the compartments, accuracy can be improved without adding to the size of the container.
Fig 32 presents a locking mechanism that utilizes a twist-lock function to secure and attach separate components through grooves applied to maintain friction across the threads in accordance with one embodiment. A depiction of one of the many applicable designs that may be adopted for any fastening needs of the embodiment, such as suction capabilities, friction fit, snap enclosure, to name a few.
Fig 33 illustrates a groove that allows rotation and reduces the risk of an unintended ejection or accidental expulsion of contents in accordance with other embodiments. May incorporate a detachable cap connected or unconnected to the cover, container or shield in another embodiment.
Figs 34A to 34B shows a locking mechanism that seal together and create a desired amount of resistance to maintain closure ¨ requiring application of a predetermined or surplus amount of force to open in accordance with one embodiment. Alignment of the protuberances with the appropriate receptacle vessel can fasten together and create attachment needs of the components. Fig 34B depicts another method to increase the friction of the compartment with the stored items. Extension of the entrance in the appropriate direction in the open position, allow additional friction to keep contents contained and storage predispositions minimized until a designated amount of force is applied to removing the item conveniently, in accordance with on embodiment.
Fig 35 depicts an embodiment that allows for a closed and fully formed end per each component, which has a circular opening to take incoming items. This opening is closed using a cap that can be a part of the cover portion, in accordance with one embodiment. A
combination or mixture of the components in various dimensions and as separate or attached pieces to each other are possible embodiments.
Fig 36 demonstrates a physical property that may be present when a flexible material is used, which allows for a tighter fit in the closed position but can expand in the open position, as represented by the arrows, in accordance with one embodiment. This ability to adjust from a tighter brace when the contents of the container need to be secured to a looser fit during the retrieval provide advantageous properties during the preferred period of the embodiment.

Modifications of the embodiment and its adaptation to the needs of the task may allow for significant changes and numerous possible embodiments.
Fig 37 presents in one or more embodiments, a container housing the stored items similar to Fig. 27 or Fig. 2A which can be used with a sliding wall revealing the frontal opening cavity. The stabilizing or locking mechanism could be customized, such as using a channel mechanism like Fig.10A to 10C, which could extend overtop creating a lip to create a flush border with the container while providing a brace for the stored items.
Fig 38 illustrates a receptacle providing an inclined surface and additional brace that may be compartmentalized with an additional trough for retrieving enclosed items in one or more embodiments. The offset of the platform and dock may provide additional stability and support for a particular orientation while allowing for easier retrieval of the contents. May be compartmentalized and with the docking platform in different sizes and inclines. Incorporation of other compartments for other functions may also be incorporated, such as to secure and hold cash.
ALTERNATIVE ADVANTAGES
From the analysis of the previous sections, numerous advantages regarding one or more aspects can be established from the embodiments. In addition, improvements over current options and alternatives can also be observed. These additional benefits include, but not limited to, are as follows:
(a) With the constituents derived from a sustainable or reusable material, allows for improved durability and long-term use, therefore environmental waste and footprint is also reduced.
When disposable rolls are the method of choice, frequent repurchasing is required and likely to predominately occur on a consistent basis. Therefore, this behavior and resulting outcome demands tremendous resources and input in the creation, packaging, transportation, delivery, and other process related to the needs and environmental costs associated with its procurement.
(b) By using inexpensive but durable materials, allow strategic cost control advantages to the use and manufacturing of the embodiment while keeping standards high.
Although, this may still have a higher upfront cost to the user when compared to some current options, long-term cost savings readily surpass that of the initial purchase price when only considering monetary exchanges directly and without cost advantages from related activities. This is partially due to the compounding cost and needs of disposable items, primarily items that are used on a regular or consistent basis.
(c) The contents of the container can be directly removed from the container individually, or by a multitude and does not require retiring the container through undoing, or dismemberment. In addition, dispensing the all of the contents entirely is not required or provide much, if any, additional benefit. Therefore, the condition of the embodiment is preserved and allow for maintained functional and organized placement.
(d) By providing an embodiment that allows the contents to remain stationary in the container, it is possible to reduce the accounting process by an additional cash-up procedure. Typically, the contents of the container, such as coins, is randomly distributed and combined into an enclosed compartment to be selected or reorganized back into another roll.
These coins would typically need to be counted, aligned and carefully guided back into the disposable roll, generally done by hand. Strategies such as angling the coins, restacking the items, fully collecting the predetermined amount, and other methods are used to improve the refill convenience and success. The embodiment eliminates the need to count the predetermined amount, align in a linear figure, guide through a small opening, and such.
(e) Due to the fixed ends and lengths, supported by rigid confines, a predetermined amount will exist consistently when the cavity has been fully supplied and provided with the corresponding item. Any additional element past the designated amount will not fit, and any lack of constituents below the maximal caring capacity will leave a gap within the interior storage cavity. Due to the detailed engineering capabilities of manufacturing and production equipment available, precise measurements and dimensions can be retained and reproduced.
Therefore, individual coins do not need to be calculated since the predetermined quantity will be expected when the compartment(s) has been fully occupied. This significantly reduces the time and attention required for this accounting procedure typically necessary.
Additionally, expensive equipment or tools used for these tasks or similar purposes may be unnecessary, allowing for increased cost savings.
(f) With the inclusion of quantitative markings, the ability to identify the number of items contained in the storage compartment can be distinguished without individually calculating the items numerically, which can be tremendously time consuming and prone to human error.
Previous rate limiting steps can be accomplished through the proper use of the embodiment.
(g) In one embodiment, due to the specifications, such as the use or inclusion of particular materials and specific design of the container and cover, allows for one component, such as the cover to be easily readjusted, removed, reattached or slid off. Therefore, the components can immediately provide access or containment for the removal or placement of the stored items, be repurposed, be secured, and be temporarily held, along with many other functional advantages. Improved display of items and convenience, such as improved access or the reduced need to apply large amounts of force, while providing consistent expectations.
(h) As well, one or more embodiments does not require puncturing or destroying the casing.
Therefore, allowing the case to retain its structural and functional purposes and reusability. Due to the quality of the material chosen, wear and tear would be reduced and the expected usage or length of operation would be extended, if not significantly longer than the current standard, particularly before any signs of use is noticeable, if at all. Therefore, it should not be significantly affected by the handling or consistent use of the casing, especially to continue to adequately function.
(i) The consequences of being without or unexpectedly being without any storage device, such as disposable rolls ¨ particularly if they are relied upon, can be exceptionally difficult if not tremendously inconvenient. This situation can be minimized or entirely avoided with reusable rolls, such that these items do not require frequent or consistent purchase in order to replace the items.
(k) The responsibility of maintaining or requiring information on the appropriate levels or quantities of the embodiment, or previously ¨ disposable coin wrappers, are not immediate nor necessary. Unless additional items are required not due to the disposal or limited use of the item.
(I) Therefore, due to the quality, mechanical life, and extended period of functional use of the embodiment, reoccurring and consistent costs, time, effort, environmental footprint, such as resources required to replace, manufacture, transport, deliver, and such, are reduced. Thus, reducing overall costs and expenses, input of resources, throughout the life of the embodiment from manufacture to use.
(m) Assessment and visibility of the contents are possible through the structural through-holes, material transparency, or intended windows and openings. Observation of the individual items without altering the form, status, or contacting the embodiment prevents interfering with the structural integrity and usability of the embodiment. While also preventing unnecessary use of time and attention that could have been prevented through the application of the embodiment instead of the alternative.
(n) Due to the rigidity of the vessel or embodiment, it permits the ability to store items in the container without requiring the full predetermined quantity to be collected and occupied in the compartment. In comparison, disposable parchment or paper rolls usually requires the entire predetermined amount to be accumulated and placed into the roll in order to secure or appropriately function and encase.
(o) The embodiment predominately is less prone to human error since measures were taken to address issues derived from previous common methods. For example, due to the spacing and inconsistent figure or specifications of coin rolls, it can be likely that the container appear to contain the entire expected quantity but be incorrect from the addition or absence of the items.
(p) Allows for the proper orientation of the items, due to the properties or lack of properties and design from the prior art. Due to the flexibility, spacing, and degree of movement in many coin rolls, the items may be wedges at an improper angle creating a plug when they are not carefully placed into a roll. This prevents other items from being added, if not causing other items to be improperly oriented and backed up. The embodiment allows for items to fall seamlessly into place preventing the internal walls from clamping the coin in the improper place and angle.
(q) One or more embodiments prevent storage of the items in an improper orientation, since common disposable containers are currently made from paper and allow the coins to be squished at an undesirable orientation, angle, and place. It is likely and not uncommon for the user or observer not to detect this mistake due to the lack of visibility. An embodiment allows linear placement of the items from the lowest point of contact, such as the surface of the container.
(r) Replacing or filling the embodiment with the items can be done rapidly, more conveniently, easily, and without some of the requirements needed in other alternatives.
Does not require individual insertion or in a symmetrical placement for improved accuracy into the limited space of a tube container. The embodiment relies on an open accessible entrance in the front that can receive items directly and in any numeration.
(s) Increased consistency compared to prior available art, for example, occasionally the ends of the rolls are either crimpled or requiring one to crimple when finished. This does not allow for the surface to be uniform and consistent. Also, due to many reasons, such as the material of selection can dramatically create a larger variance in dimensions. Therefore, preventing the container the ability to act as an accurate indicator of quantity or the measure dimension to determine any supplemental or lack of the predetermined items.
(t) Incorporation of a contour and its depression allow the appropriate placement of a wrapper to act as a stacking and containment function. This permits rolls to be stacked linearly or in an organized fashion for improved convenience and storage confinement efficiencies, as well as the ability to utilize vertical volume and be stored higher with improved stability.
(u) Reduce the volume required by other prior art by using another method, it also do not need to dump contents into a compartment spreading the coins/taking up more space.
Container confines the items in a straight line, compact, organized form in the space provided and within the area of the container. It also does not have any partial doors or hinged covers.
(v) An embodiment that improves the extraction and selection of items from the storage cavity.
For example, this may be in the form, but not limited to a small indent, cavity, impression, opening, or recess that allows one to increase grip or contact to the item.
The ends may be modified to allow direct contact with the first or most exterior item in order to improve the friction and grip on the object.
(w) Allows cooperation or the ability to be used in conjunction with other sorting and dispensing devices such a coin sorter. In similar prior art or other alternative options that are currently available are unable to provide access or an appropriate entrance that can accept items dispensed from a sorting device directly. For example, a circular entrance may be required that lead into the cavity. Other additional benefits, conveniences, and functions that can be gained and associated with a topical opening allowing for items to traverse linearly is present in one of many embodiments.
(x) Any component, feature, and concept accordingly to the embodiment can be modified, changed, reversed, relocated, and more. Due to its almost infinite ability to be adaptable, such as to different materials, colors, sizes, combinations, design, connection, and more, additional uses and advantages can be discovered or integrated.
(y) In one or more embodiments, it is not necessary for the complete expulsion of the contents to gain access to the stored items. Particularly if a specific item in a placement of numerous items need to be reached, such as a wrong item or incorrect currency need to be removed, or a misaligned item to be reoriented, previous methods require the user to expel the entire contents of the roll as the most convenient solution to rectifying the issue.
(z) The learning curve is minimal and adapted to allow optimal intuitive performance so that it is simple and easy to learn for immediate use. Ideally, it does not require experience or formal direction to be taught in order to utilize. In addition, it preferably does not require the use of certain tips or hacks that will significantly improve the function of the case or allow proper use of the embodiment. Such as a particular method of stacking coins in order to reduce misalignment or improper orientation, and assist with the filling process of the content in many disposable container wrappers.
(a') For improved accuracy and accounting, circumferential markings may be incorporated at designated values or intervals for more immediate and visible determination of quantity. These markings can be in the interior storage facility, on the exterior, or any location where it may function appropriately. When a designated amount equals to the expected amount of the circumferential marking, it will be aligned or conveyed conveniently. In one or more embodiments, these intervals may vary from the different values in each currency so that a convenient and logical system can be achieved.
(b') With more transparency or visibility into the storage cavity, items that are improperly placed or wedged in the container are not hidden by nontransparent or solid material.
Therefore, it is more likely for items in the incorrect orientation to be seen and removed. In one or more prior art, due to the flexibility of the material, items can become easily held in an incorrect state causing many issues, such as accounting and structural errors.
(c') Similar to the previous embodiments, due to the visible interior and storage of items, it is more likely for inappropriate items to be seen and removed. Items have may be incorrectly assigned or separated to the container, and therefore may be observed when the items do not match or are not aligned correctly to the expected standard.

(d') Using a non-cylindrical shape may provide additional benefits while allowing the possibility to offer many, if not all the functions in the cylindrical form. Such as, during storage, the form of the objects may improve binding, stability, and convenience for the user.
For example, rolls of coins are usually bundled in groups of 10, by providing relatively flat surfaces or sides to the container, allows for the exterior faces to be placed compactly and in a relatively stable stationary position. The accumulation of additional rolls should not impact the stability of the entire bundle drastically, but offer improved structural integrity, while reducing unwanted roll or unintentionally movement of the container due to a flat side.
