Selectable Volume Container

摘要

A selectable volume container for dispensing an article includes a surrounding sidewall with a first end portion and an opposing second end portion with the sidewall having an interior. Further included is an element having an outer periphery, wherein the outer periphery is slidably engaged to the sidewall interior inner surface such that the element dispenses the article form the interior. Also included in the selectable volume container is a planar member that is affixed to the outer periphery on one end and extends outside the interior on the other end. Operationally on the selectable volume container the article is disposed within the interior and in contact with the element, wherein a manual pulling of the planar member results in the element moving with the article being transported from the interior toward an external environment.

主权项

1. A selectable volume container for dispensing an article, comprising:
(a) a surrounding sidewall that is about a longitudinal axis, said surrounding sidewall including a first end portion and an opposing second end portion along said longitudinal axis, said surrounding sidewall having an inner surface and an opposing outer surface, said first end portion terminating in a first aperture defining a first margin and said second end portion terminating in a second aperture defining a second margin, said surrounding sidewall inner surface, said first aperture, and said second aperture defining a sidewall interior of said surrounding sidewall, as differentiated from an external environment outside of said sidewall interior, (b) an element having an outer periphery, wherein said outer periphery is slidably engaged to said surrounding sidewall inner surface such that said element having movement along said longitudinal axis within said sidewall interior; and (c) a planar member having a lengthwise axis, said planar member having a primary end portion and an opposing secondary end portion along said lengthwise axis, said planar member primary end portion is affixed to said outer periphery, and said secondary end portion extends toward said second margin, wherein operationally the article is disposed within said sidewall interior and in contact with said element, with the article facing said second margin, a manual pulling of said planar member toward said second margin results in said element moving toward said second margin with the article being transported from said sidewall interior toward the external environment.
