BODY ENGAGING CONCAVE CONTAINER

摘要

The container (20) comprises a base (22), a concave wall (24), a convex wall (26), and a pair of side walls (28) with all walls (24, 26, 28) extending upwardly from the base (22) to a rim (30) which presents an engaging area (50) having an apex (52) and midpoint (54). The apex (52) of the engaging area (50) is disposed a greater distance from the base (22) than the distance of the top (38) of the rim (30) from the base (22) along the side walls (28) and the convex wall (26), whereby the engaging area (50) presents a concave surface area for supporting the container (20) on the hip of a human body. The engaging area (50) further includes a second dimension (h2) which decreases in height along the rim (30) from the apex (52) and the midpoint (54) of the engaging area (50) toward each side wall (28). The engaging area (50) further includes a support plane (ρ3) which slants relative to vertical at an acute angle (θ) allowing the engaging area (50) to rest comfortably on the human body.

1. A container (20) having a concave side for engaging the hip of a human body while being grasped on an opposite convex side by an arm extending from that human body, said container (20) comprising;
a base (22) and a concave wall (24) and a convex wall (26) and a pair of side walls (28) with all of said walls (24, 26, 28) extending upwardly from said base (22) to a rim (30) surrounding a chamber (32) therein to define a cross section of bean shape, and characterized by, said rim (30) presenting an engaging area (50) in said rim (30) extending along said concave wall (24) and disposed a greater distance from said base (22) than the distance of said rim (30) from said base (22) along said side walls (28) and said convex wall (26) whereby said engaging area (50) presents a concave surface area for supporting the container (20) on the hip of a human body.
