Connectable segmented container

Abstract

A separable segmented container includes a closure structure, such as a lid, and a plurality of interconnectable sections including a base section which defines an opening at an upper end and a top connecting region and at least one intermediate section. Each intermediate section defines first and second openings at upper and lower ends, respectively, and top and bottom connecting regions. The bottom connection region of the at least one intermediate section is configured to connectably mate with the top connecting region of another of the plurality of sections. The top connection region of the base and intermediate sections is configured to connectably mate with the closure structure. The base section, at least one intermediate section, and the closure structure together define a closed interior space whose volume is reducible by removing at least one of the at least one intermediate sections.
