Abstract
A flexible storage container housing several rigid decanters for storage of a variety of fluids is provided. The decanters are designed to form a cylinder when placed together, and each decanter has a recessed area, which when joined provides a storage area for jiggers which are stacked in place. A protective cover for the jiggers and a protective top on the flexible container prevent contamination during transport.
Claims7
A multiple flask apparatus for fluid storage comprising:
- at least three storage decanters, a multiplicity of measuring jiggers, and an enclosing protective cover;
- each said decanter having a length having upper and lower fractions, an interior junction, and interior surfaces, said interior surfaces of the several said decanters assembled contiguously, said interior junctions of the several said decanters assembled contiguously at said lower fraction of said length, and said decanters contained within restrained by said protective cover during storage;
- each said interior surface having an indented area in said upper fraction of said length, said contiguous containment and restraint of said interior surfaces forming a recessed area in said indented area wherein said multiplicity of jiggers may reside during storage;
- each said jigger having a protective cap and means for vertical, releasable storage of each said jigger from other said jiggers;
- each said decanter having a fluid dispensing orifice apparatus;
- and
- said protective cover having latching means and a handle apparatus.

A storage apparatus comprising:
- a flexible container housing at least three lightweight, unbreakable storage decanters and lightweight, unbreakable measuring jiggers, said flexible container having an outer shape, carrying means for transporting said decanter and said jiggers, and enveloping means for protecting and enclosing said decanters and said jiggers;
- each said lightweight, unbreakable decanter having an outer perimeter, a length, an upper surface, and two beveled interior surfaces extending inwardly from said outer perimeter to a junction, joining each said beveled interior surface on said decanter;
- each said decanter further having an upper, interior, arcuate, recessed surface indented from said upper surface, extending downwardly along both said beveled interior surfaces for a fraction of said decanter length, and a plateau surface extending from said upper, interior, arcuate, recessed surface inwardly along both said beveled interior surfaces to said junction;
- the combination of said decanters contiguous at said outer perimeters, said junctions, and said beveled surfaces, forming a polyhedron, said polyhedron supporting said outer surface of said flexible container;
- the combination of said decanters at said upper, interior, arcuate, recessed surfaces and said plateau surfaces forming an upper, internal, cylinder area;
- said jiggers having means for separable stacking and a protective cover;
- and,
- said jiggers residing in said upper, internal, cylinder area, so that during storage, the combination of said decanters restrains said jiggers and said flexible container restrains the combination of said decanters.
