A claims. (ci. z zfofiri A"I."iiis.irrvention relates to an virri-proved container and more particularly to an improved container haviher means adapted .to permit variation of the i cubic content thereof. Y
In general, containers are provided for the purpose of receiving an article' in protecting relationship ltherewith and for the purpose of facilitating handling thereof. Wherethe article .to be handled and protected is of a fixed Volume; the container likewise may have a fixed cubic content. However, Where the volume ofthe article iseoot lined, itis necessary, in order to handle-and protect the article in the most efficient and economicalmanner, to-providecontainers of various cubic vcontent. Again, Where it is'not possible to foresee. within what ,limitsof volume 4the article willftake, it becomes extremely difiicult to provide a suiiieient cubic content range of containers. Consequently, there are times when a proper container is not immediately vavailable ,-for efciently and economically protecting and handlingthe, article.
Therefore, `the. object of the fpresentinvention is toprovide a-singlecontainer designed to efcient.- lyand 4economically protect and facilitate handling of larticles regardless of their volume size.
.Another object is toprovide a container'made uD 0,f adjustable units constructed and arranged infsuch a way as to permit cubic `content variation of` thecontainer.
Afurther object is to provide container inserts comprising tubular units threadedly interconnectedandvmovable relative to each other in such a 4,manner as to permit variation in the cubic content of the inserts and permit interconnection of the insert :with additional inserts,
Generally described, `the present invention comprisesa tubular container made uplof a pldrallty of adjustable inserts lor container units. The container units consist of a liner provided with a peripheral thread, and a sleeve of s nbsterrtieliyfthe Some length asthe liner and adepted tobe rreceived on the liner 4in thread-interlooking. relationship A container `of any desired cubic content may be made up by Vas sernbling lthe desired number of vunits .into one oorltinuonsv ycontainer unit.

In accordance with the foregoing description, it is apparent that the objects ofthe present invention have been achieved by providing a container insertv comprising` a liner having a spiral thread and a sleeve having a spiral-thread receiving groove each adapted to be interconnected with each other and with additional liners and sleeves to form a container the cubic content of which depends upon the number of sleeves and liners used in constructing the container.
What I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is: j

An adjustable container having a plurality of interconnected liner and sleeve elements, said reference to the Vsleeve `I2k a thread receiving e groove I'S'isV provided on the inner surface ofthe cap Isin a manner very similar to that described with reference't'o the. sleeve' I2. "The cap I9 is similar generally in constructionY to thesleeve I2I except that 'the cap'i's closed at one end in any w'ell known manner and further that the thread substantially half-way of the overalllength of the cap and terminates atV the shoulders 20. The f pitch'of lthe thread receiving groove IB of the liner and sleeve elements'being tubular and of Vsubstantially the same length, e. thread exteriorly,
