Abstract
A container has an inner cap inside an outer cap and an inner tub inside an outer tub. The outer cap is larger than the inner cap forming a cap cavity with an upper cap cavity and a surrounding cap cavity between the outer cap and the inner cap. Likewise, the outer tub is larger than the inner tub forming a tub cavity with a lower tub cavity and a surrounding tub cavity between the outer tub and the inner tub. The outer cap and the inner cap are on the top side of a cap ledge. The outer tub is connected to the inner tub by a tub ledge. The inner cap has a cap wall, and the outer tub or the inner tub has a tub wall, each threaded to mate and to close the container.
Description
- A container is described herein. A container presented herein is mainly used for cosmetics. The container may be used for holding not only conventional creams, gels, and powders for face and skin but also creams and gels for hair treatment.
- The container has an inner cap inside an outer cap and an inner tub inside an outer tub. The outer cap is larger than the inner cap forming a cap cavity with an upper cap cavity and a surrounding cap cavity between the outer cap and the inner cap. Likewise, the outer tub is larger than the inner tub forming a tub cavity with a lower tub cavity and a surrounding tub cavity between the outer tub and the inner tub.
- The container also has a cap ledge and a tub ledge. The outer cap and the inner cap are on the top side of the cap ledge. The outer tub is connected to the inner tub by the tub ledge. The inner cap has a cap wall, and the outer tub or the inner tub has a tub wall. The cap wall and the tub wall are threaded for mating so that the tub ledge and the cap ledge come together to securely hold the outer cap and the outer tub, closing the container.
- Applicant believes the upper cap cavity and the surrounding cap cavity should be formed by at least 0.1 inch separation radially between the outer cap and the inner cap. Moreover, Applicant believes the lower tub cavity and the surrounding tub cavity should be formed by at least 0.1 inch separation radially between the outer tub and the inner tub.
- One of the benefits of the container described herein is that the cosmetic contained in the container is better protected from temperature variations because there is a cavity surrounding the inner cap and a cavity surrounding the inner tub. Another benefit of the container described herein is the appearance of the container is exquisite and has a luxurious presentation when the outer cap and the outer tub are made of transparent material, and the inner cap and the inner tub are made of opaque material, especially when the inner cap and/or the inner tub are of bright or florescent color. A preferred material for the outer cap and/or outer tub is transparent plastic, tempered glass, or even crystal. A preferred material for the inner cap and/or the inner tub is plastic, tempered glass, crystal, and even metal. Thus, the container promotes the marketability of the cosmetics and enables a higher selling price point.
- Variations within the scope of the claims of the container presented herein are possible. One example is the container also designed to have the circumference of the outer tub at the tub ledge gradually reducing to the circumference of the outer tub at the tub bottom so that the circumference of the outer tub at the tub bottom is less than the circumference of the outer tub at the tub ledge.
- Another variation of the container has the surrounding cap cavity between the outer cap and the inner cap without the upper cap cavity. Another variation of the container has the surrounding tub cavity without the lower tub cavity.
- These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the improved container will become better understood with reference to the accompanying specification, writing, drawings, and submission, all of which are incorporated herein.
- These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the improved container will become better understood with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container, -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the container, -
FIG. 3 is a view of the container with the cap removed, showing the threading of the container, -
FIG. 4 is a side view of a different embodiment of the container, and -
FIG. 5 is a side view of another embodiment of the container - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thecontainer 10 has aninner cap 15 inside anouter cap 20 and aninner tub 25 inside anouter tub 30. Theouter cap 20 is larger than theinner cap 15 forming acap cavity 35 with anupper cap cavity 40 and a surroundingcap cavity 45 between theouter cap 20 and theinner cap 15. Likewise, theouter tub 30 is larger than theinner tub 25 forming atub cavity 50 with alower tub cavity 55 and a surroundingtub cavity 60 between the outer tub and theinner tub 25. Theouter cap 20 and theouter tub 30 are made of transparent material. - Also
FIGS. 2 and 3 show the container also having a cap ledge 65 and atub ledge 70. Theouter cap 20 and theinner cap 15 are on the top side 75 (shown inFIG. 1 ) of thecap ledge 65. Theouter tub 30 is connected to theinner tub 25 by thetub ledge 70. Theinner cap 15 has acap wall 80, and the outer tub or theinner tub 25 has atub wall 85. Thecap wall 80 and thetub wall 85 are threaded for mating so that the tub ledge 70 and thecap ledge 65 come together to securely hold theouter cap 20 and theouter tub 30, closing thecontainer 10. -
FIGS. 1-3 show that theupper cap cavity 40 and the surrounding cap cavity are formed with about least 0.1 inch separation radially between the outer cap and theinner cap 15. Also, Figs. show that thelower tub cavity 55 and the surroundingtub cavity 60 are formed with about 0.25 inch separation radially between theouter tub 30 and theinner tub 25. - One variation to the
container 10 is, as shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 , thecontainer 10 has the circumference of theouter tub 30 at thetub ledge 70 gradually reducing to the circumference of the outer tub at the tub bottom so that the circumference of theouter tub 30 at thetub bottom 90 is less than the circumference of theouter tub 30 at thetub ledge 70. This variation is more ergonomic than theouter tub 30 having no slope (or no reducing of the circumference.) - Another variation of the
container 10, as shown inFIG. 4 , is a variation that thecontainer 10 has the surroundingcap cavity 45 between theouter cap 20 and theinner cap 25, but does not have theupper cap cavity 40. In this embodiment, theinner cap 15 extends up to theouter cap 20, not forming theupper cap cavity 40. In a similar context, another variation of thecontainer 10, as shown inFIG. 5 , has the surroundingtub cavity 60 without thelower tub cavity 55. - While the description, drawings, and references have been presented, shown, and described with reference to different embodiments thereof, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that variations in form, detail, compositions, and operation may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
