In one embodiment, the container is configured with one or more divider walls within an inner cavity or receptacle of the container. The dividers divide the receptacle into multiple smaller receptacle areas/compartments. In one embodiment, the divider wall is formed with a jagged top surface (e.g., saw-tooth configuration, a plain-tooth configuration). In one example, when a tool or utensil is used to lift out the material in the receptacle, the jagged top surface may be used to clean or scrap off the material from the tool. Thus the divider wall is useful as a cleaning surface and as a compartment divider.
- With reference to
FIG. 1 , one embodiment of acontainer 100 is shown. Thecontainer 100 includes a housing formed with aremovable lid 105 and abase 110. Thelid 105 is attachable and detachable from thebase 110. Thelid 105 may include aprotrusion 115 that can be configured to stackmultiple containers 100 by being inserted into a corresponding indentation on the bottom surface of the base 110 (which is not shown). In one embodiment, thecontainer 100 is a hand-held container with about a 2½ inch to 3 inch diameter. Of course. Other sizes may be formed. - In one embodiment, the housing of the
container 100 is made from medical grade silicon. Thus in one embodiment, thebase 110 and thedivider wall 120 with saw-tooth surface 125 are formed by a molding process and are integral with each other (a single entity). Thelid 105 is also molded but is of course a separate component from thebase 110. - The housing of the
container 100 is semi-flexible and may be bent but the material is made to return to its original shape when in a resting state. In other embodiments, other materials may be used for example, other types of silicon, rubber, plastic, metal, or other compounds. The housing is flexible but may be semi-rigid, or firm in other embodiments. -
FIG. 2 illustrates thecontainer 100 fromFIG. 1 with thelid 105 removed thus exposing the interior of thecontainer 100. The inner receptacle includesdividers 120 that divide the receptacle. In this embodiment, threedividers 120 create three smaller areas in the receptacle. The three areas are labeled A, B, and C inFIG. 3 . Thedivider wall 120 is configured with (formed with) a jaggedtop surface 125. The jaggedtop surface 125 may be formed in a variety of shapes such as a saw-tooth pattern of teeth, a plain-tooth pattern of teeth, a serrated pattern, or other jagged pattern of peaks and valleys. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a plain-tooth pattern of teeth as the jaggedtop surface 120. The pattern of teeth is formed as a side-by-side continuous row of teeth. The top surface of thedivider wall 120 is the surface that is toward/adjacent thelid 105. Thus the points of theteeth 125 extend toward the inside surface of the lid 105 (seeFIG. 4 ) once thelid 105 is attached. In other words, theteeth 125 point toward the opening of the base. In one embodiment, the saw-tooth portions 125 extend the entire length of thedivider wall 120, or extend on only a portion of the divider 120 (less than the entire length of the divider wall 120). - In one example, when a tool or utensil is used to lift out a material in the receptacle, the jagged
top surface 125 may be used to clean or scrap off the material from the tool. Examples of tools may include a knife, spoon, fork, tooth pick or other type of stick. The teeth of the jaggedsurface 125 define edges and cavities for a scraping surface that can engage edges of a tool. - In one embodiment, the edge of the
base 110 may include one ormore notches 130. Thenotch 130 is formed in the edge wall and is shown as a V-shaped slot inFIG. 2 . Thenotch 130 is configured to receive and hold a thin tool against thecontainer 100 so that the tool does not roll off. - The
lid 105 andbase 110 are configured with one or more edges, lips, ribs, or rims to assist in securing the lid and base to each other when thecontainer 100 is closed. In one embodiment, thebase 110 includes arib 135 that projects out from a wall of thebase 110 and extends around the perimeter of the container. Thelid 105 includes acorresponding recess 140 that mates with therib 135 when thelid 105 is closed onto thebase 110.FIG. 4 shows therib 135 engaged with the corresponding recess (not labeled) of thelid 105. In one embodiment, thelid 105 andbase 110 may be configured and sized such that they engage via friction to hold thelid 105 on thebase 110. -
FIG. 3 is a top view of thebase 110 of the open container ofFIG. 2 . The threedivider walls 120 create three similarly sized container areas A, B, and C within the receptacle of thebase 110. In another embodiment, the inside wall (side or bottom wall) of each area may be labeled with a character(s) to identify it from the other areas (e.g., A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, etc. imprinted on the wall). -
FIG. 4 is cross-section view of theclosed container 100 through A-A ofFIG. 3 . In one embodiment, the jaggedtop surface 125 may be spaced from the inside surface of thelid 105 so as to create an open portion. In another embodiment, thedivider 120 may be sized so that the points of theteeth 125 touch against the inner surface of thelid 105 when thelid 105 is attached to thebase 110. -
FIG. 5 is another embodiment of acontainer 100 in a closed state with thelid 105 attached to thebase 110. The container inFIG. 5 is smaller than the container inFIG. 1 (e.g., less than a 3 inch diameter) and includes the same reference numbers for the same elements. -
FIG. 6 illustrates the container ofFIG. 5 . in an open state with thelid 105 removed from thebase 110. In one embodiment, thecontainer 100 includes a different configuration ofdividers 120 than the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 .

The definitions include various examples and/or forms of components that fall within the scope of a term and that may be used for implementation. The examples are not intended to be limiting. Both singular and plural forms of terms may be within the definitions.
- References to “one embodiment”, “an embodiment”, “one example”, “an example”, and so on, indicate that the embodiment(s) or example(s) so described may include a particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, element, or limitation, but that not every embodiment or example necessarily includes that particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, element or limitation. Furthermore, repeated use of the phrase “in one embodiment” does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, though it may.
- While example systems, methods, and so on have been illustrated by describing examples, and while the examples have been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the applicants to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the systems, methods, and so on described herein. Therefore, the disclosure is not limited to the specific details, the representative apparatus, and illustrative examples shown and described.
- Thus, this application is intended to embrace alterations, modifications, and variations that fall within the scope of the appended claims.
- To the extent that the term “includes” or “including” is employed in the detailed description or the claims, it is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising” as that term is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.
- To the extent that the term “or” is used in the detailed description or claims (e.g., A or B) it is intended to mean “A or B or both”. When the applicants intend to indicate “only A or B but not both” then the phrase “only A or B but not both” will be used. Thus, use of the term “or” herein is the inclusive, and not the exclusive use. See, Bryan A. Garner, A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage 624 (2d. Ed. 1995).
