US 2019/0315527 A1 · REFILLABLE STORAGE CONTAINER

Abstract

A refillable storage container such as for use with food products such as coffee, flour, sugar, spices, and the like, includes a container body, and upper and lower closure members. Access to the container contents is easily effected by removal of the upper closure member. To replenish the contents, the container can be inverted, with the upper closure member in place, and the lower closure member removed to permit new contents to be added to the container. The container is thereafter returned to its upright orientation, with older contents thus positioned toward the upper part of the container for use before the fresher contents are used from the lower part of the container.
