Abstract
A container including: a first portion having an open end and a closed end, where the open end is disposed distal from the closed end; one or more first portion apertures disposed in the first portion to allow air flow into the container; a second portion having an open end and a closed end, where the open end is disposed distal from the closed end; one or more second portion apertures disposed in the second portion to allow air flow into the container; where an outer surface of the second portion is received by an inner surface of the first portion; and where the first portion is detachably attached to the second portion.
Claims20
A container comprising:
- a first portion comprising an open end, a closed end, and a middle section, wherein the open end is disposed distal from the closed end, wherein the closed end has a rounded shape, wherein the middle section is disposed between the open end and the closed end, and wherein the middle section has a constant cross-section;
- one or more first portion apertures disposed in the first portion proximate the closed end to allow airflow into the container;
- a second portion comprising an open end, a closed end, and a middle section, wherein the open end is disposed distal from the closed end, wherein the closed end has a rounded shape, wherein the middle section is disposed between the open end and the closed end, and wherein the middle section has a constant cross-section;
- and
- one or more second portion apertures disposed in the second portion proximate the closed end to allow airflow into the container;
- wherein an outer diameter of the open end of the second portion is substantially the same as an inner diameter of the open end of the first portion, thereby providing a tight fit;
- wherein an outer surface of the middle section of the second portion is slidably secured to an inner surface of the middle section of the first portion via a friction fit, and the middle section of the first portion and the middle section of the second portion have a same height;
- wherein the first portion and the second portion are made of flexible material and configured to be detachably attached via squeezing the flexible material to reduce friction while detaching and attaching the first portion from the second portion;
- and
- wherein, when attached, the first portion and the second portion slidably move based on the friction fit, thereby changing the container from a first closed position to a second closed position, adjusting the overall height based on the outer surface of the middle section of the second portion being slidably received by the inner surface of the middle section of the first portion and variably changing an interior volume of the container to increase or decrease and storing only one sponge in the first closed position and storing two or more sponges in the second closed position.
