An interlocking container for tattoo ink includes a body defining a reservoir for retaining ink and first and second spaced interlocking members, each having a particular size and shape. The members extend outwardly from the container and define a space therebetween adapted to receive a similarly shaped and sized interlocking member from another container. An assembly of containers arranged in many different configurations can be formed by interlocking multiple containers together.
First and second interlocking containers for tattoo ink, each of said containers comprising a generally circular body defining a reservoir for retaining ink, and means for engaging said other container, said engaging means comprising a pair of spaced, substantially radially extending interlocking members, wherein each of said interlocking members comprises substantially parallel side walls and an outer wall extending between said side walls, said side walls and said outer wall defining rounded corners which extend beyond said side walls in substantially opposite directions, and wherein the interlocking members of said pair are shaped and spaced apart to receive an interlocking member of substantially similar shape from said other container, wherein at least one of said interlocking members has an inclined top surface, and wherein said top surface of said interlocking member is downwardly and outwardly inclined from said exterior wall of said body.
An interlocking container for tattoo ink comprising a body having a substantially circular exterior wall and an interior wall, spaced from said exterior wall, said interior wall defining a reservoir for retaining ink, said container comprising a first interlocking member for engaging another container, said first interlocking member comprising first and second substantially parallel side walls extending from said exterior wall of said body and an outer wall extending between said side walls, said side walls and said outer wall defining rounded corners which extend beyond said side walls in substantially opposite directions, each of said corners and the adjacent side wall defining a recess, wherein said outer wall is slightly concave.
First and second interlocking containers for tattoo ink, each of said containers comprising a generally circular body defining a reservoir for retaining ink, and means for engaging said other container, said engaging means comprising a pair of spaced, substantially radial extending interlocking members, wherein each of said interlocking members comprises substantially parallel side walls and an outer wall extending between said side walls, said side walls and said outer wall defining rounded corners which extend beyond said side walls in substantially opposite directions, and wherein the interlocking members of said pair are shaped and spaced apart to receive an interlocking member of substantially similar shape from said other container, wherein each of said interlocking members has an inclined top surface, and wherein said top surface of said interlocking members is downwardly and outwardly inclined from said body.
An interlocking container for tattoo ink comprising a body having a substantially circular exterior wall and an interior wall, spaced from said exterior wall, said interior wall defining a reservoir for retaining ink, said container comprising a first interlocking member for engaging another container, said first interlocking member comprising first and second substantially parallel side walls extending from said exterior wall of said body and an outer wall extending between said side walls, said side walls and said outer wall defining rounded corners which extend beyond said side walls in substantially opposite directions, each of said corners and the adjacent side wall defining a recess, wherein said first interlocking member has an inclined top surface, and wherein said top surface of said first interlocking member is downwardly and outwardly inclined from said exterior wall of said body.
An interlocking container for tattoo ink comprising a body having a substantially circular exterior wall and an interior wall, spaced from said exterior wall, said interior wall defining a reservoir for retaining ink, said container comprising a first interlocking member for engaging another container, said first interlocking member comprising first and second substantially parallel side walls extending from said exterior wall of said body and an outer wall extending between said side walls, said side walls and said outer wall defining rounded corners which extend beyond said side walls in substantially opposite directions, each of said corners and the adjacent side wall defining a recess, wherein said interlocking member is hollow.
An interlocking container for tattoo ink comprising a body having a substantially circular exterior wall and an interior wall, spaced from said exterior wall, said interior wall defining a reservoir for retaining ink, said container comprising a first interlocking member for engaging another container, said first interlocking member comprising first and second substantially parallel side walls extending from said exterior wall of said body and an outer wall extending between said side walls, said side walls and said outer wall defining rounded corners which extending beyond said side walls in substantially opposite directions, each of said corners and the adjacent side wall defining a recess, wherein said interlocking member has an open bottom.
First and second interlocking containers for tattoo ink, each of said containers comprising a generally circular body defining a reservoir for retaining ink, and means for engaging said other container, said engaging means comprising a pair of spaced, substantially radially extending interlocking members, wherein each of said interlocking members comprises substantially parallel side walls and an outer wall extending between said side walls, said side walls and said outer wall defining rounded corners which extend beyond said side walls in substantially opposite directions, and wherein the interlocking members of said pair are shaped and spaced apart to receive an interlocking member of substantially similar shape from said other container, wherein at least one of said interlocking members is hollow.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to single use, disposable containers for tattoo ink and more particularly, to single use, disposable containers for tattoo ink having interlock structure which stabilizes the containers to reduce accidental tipping and permits the tattoo artist to organize the containers on their work surface in whatever manner that suits their creative process.
2. Description of Prior Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98
To these and to such other objects that may hereinafter appears, the present invention relates to an interlocking disposable tattoo ink container as described in detail in the following specification and recited in the annexed claims, taken together with the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals refer to like parts and in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of the container of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top elevation view of the container;
As seen in the Figures, the present invention relates to an interlocking disposable container for tattoo ink, generally designated A, designed for a single use, that is, use in creating a tattoo on one client. Container A includes a generally cylindrical body 10 formed of a side wall with an exterior surface 12 and a closed bottom 14 defining a reservoir 16 for retaining tattoo ink. The side wall of the container is preferably made of light transmissive plastic such that the color of the ink and the quantity of the ink in reservoir 16 can be readily observed.
Body 10 of container is also provided with a removable cover (not shown) to close the open mouth 18 ink reservoir 16 of the container when not in use. The cover may be a foil sheet, a screw cap or other suitable closure.
Container A includes means for engaging another container. The engaging means includes first and second sets of spaced interlocking members 20, 22 extending outwardly from the container in opposite directions. Each of the interlocking members 20, 22 has a particular size and shape, as can be observed from the drawings.
