Claims5
A dental apparatus container, comprising:
- a main body to receive at least one of a dental apparatus and cleaning fluid therein, the main body comprising:
- a first top surface,
- a first magnet disposed on the first top surface,
- a first cylindrical surface circumferentially disposed around a perimeter of a dental-apparatus-receiving aperture and extending away from the first top surface, and
- a first bottom surface disposed on the first cylindrical surface, such that the first top surface is disposed at a distance furthest from the first bottom surface;
- and
- a lid connected to the main body to cover at least a portion of the main body, the lid comprising:
- a second cylindrical surface circumferentially disposed around a perimeter of a recessed portion,
- a second bottom surface disposed on a bottom edge of the second cylindrical surface to connect to an entire surface area of the first top surface in response to the lid closing over the main body to prevent the cleaning fluid from exiting the main body, and
- a second magnet disposed on the second bottom surface to magnetically connect the second bottom surface to the first top surface.

- and
- a lid connected to the main body to cover at least a portion of the main body, such that a diameter of the lid is equivalent to a diameter of the main body, such that the lid remains closed in response to inverting the main body and the lid while the lid is closed, the lid comprising:
- a second cylindrical surface circumferentially disposed around a perimeter of a recessed portion,
- a second bottom surface disposed on a bottom edge of the second cylindrical surface to connect to an entire surface area of the first top surface in response to the lid closing over the main body to prevent the cleaning fluid from exiting the main body, and
