Abstract
A container (10) comprising a body (11) having an internal container space (18) and an opening (14), the opening (14) being biased to a substantially closed configuration, at least opposing sections (12, 13) of the container (10) being resiliently biased towards each other to minimize the volume of the internal container space (18), wherein a user can insert at least one item into the container space (18) through the opening (14) in use by temporary deformation of at least a portion of the container (10), and the resilient bias of the at least opposing sections (12, 13) of the container (10) can apply a compressive force in use to the at least one item received in the container space (18).
Claims11
A container comprising a body having a first section and an opposing second section that define an internal space and an opening in the first section, the container further comprising a flat liner having an aperture, wherein the flat liner is positioned in the internal space between the opposed first and second sections of the body, wherein at least a portion of the body is expandable such that at least a portion of the second section is moved away from the first section and the flat liner to form a container space between an interior side of the second section and a side of the flat liner that faces the second section, wherein the flat liner is positioned in the internal space such that the opening is aligned with the aperture and an item can be inserted through the opening to expand the at least the portion of the body such that the item is positioned within the container space formed between the interior side of the second section and the side of the flat liner that faces the second section, and wherein the second section and the flat liner are resiliently biased toward each other.
A container comprising:
- a body having a first panel and an opposing second panel that define an internal space;
- wherein the first panel includes an opening;
- wherein a user can insert at least one item into the internal space through the opening;
- and
- a flat liner disposed within the internal space between the first and second panels, the flat liner having an aperture;
- wherein the flat liner is positioned in the internal space between the opposed first and second panels of the body, wherein at least a portion of the body is expandable such that at least a portion of the second section is moved away from the first section and the flat liner to form that a container space between an interior side of the second section and a side of the flat liner that faces the second section, wherein the flat liner is positioned in the internal space such that the opening is aligned with the aperture and such that when the item is inserted through the opening it expands the at least the portion of the body such that the item is positioned within the container space formed between the interior side of the second panel and the side of the flat liner that faces the second section, and wherein the second panel and the flat liner are resiliently biased toward each other.
