EASY ACCESS CONTAINER

摘要

Containers which may be worn by a user and into which small refuse items and other materials can be inserted for temporary storage or for later disposal using one or more fingers of one hand, are described. In one embodiment (10), a hollow body (12) having a closed end (14) and an open screw cap (20) cooperate to hold a deformable septum (28) having a slit or perforation (34) such that small items may easily be inserted into the body through the slit wherein they are securely enclosed until the body is detached from the cap. The contents can then be disposed of in an acceptable manner or otherwise used. In another embodiment of the invention, the screw cap and septum are replaced by a cover closed at one end and having a slit or opening having radially disposed arms in the closed end for introducing materials into the hollow body through the slit. Larger containers may be set into cup holders for use. Among the uses of the invention is the storage of waste fishing line and other discarded articles along streams and lakefronts for later disposal.
