Abstract

Containers for different uses in different kinds of environments, comprising diffusion of volatile matters, traps for pests and protection of contained matters, consist of two half containers, or portions, of different diameter, an upper one ( 12 ) and larger in diameter, and a lower one ( 34 ) and smaller in diameter, of which the lower one ( 34 ) has an upwards oriented mouth and is to be either put on or fastened to the ground or to a support. The lower half container ( 34 ) can be provided with means ( 20 ) for fastening to the support and between the two half containers ( 12,34 ) can be inserted means ( 36,38 ) for regulating the spacing between them.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Container for different uses comprising an upper portion ( 12 ) operating as a lid, a lower portion ( 14 ) operating as a containing basin of matters, a support basis connected to the lower portion ( 14 ) and means ( 18 ) for setting the spacing between the upper portion ( 12 ) and the lower portion ( 14 ), characterized in that the upper portion ( 12 ), has a larger size, and the lower portion ( 14 ), has a smaller size, and the two portions ( 12 ,  14 ) have each other faced mouths, the upper portion ( 12 ) is provided on the top with a first knurled relief ( 16 ) and the lower portion ( 14 ) could be provided on the bottom with a second also knurled relief ( 20 ), having gripping function.  
     
     
         2 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the lower basin portion ( 14 ) is provided with a planar downwards faced surface operating as a support basis.  
     
     
         3 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 2 , characterized in that the planar surface of the lower portion ( 14 ) is crossed by a hole ( 24 ) housing a knurled relief plug ( 20 ) closing the same hole ( 24 ).  
     
     
         4 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 3 , characterized in that the the plug ( 20 ) comprises a lower knurled area and an upper neck area provided with a thread ( 22 ) suited to be engaged in a corresponding thread in the hole ( 24 ) crossing the planar surface of the lower portion ( 14 ).  
     
     
         5 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the upper portion ( 12 ) is a first bell jar, and the lower portion is a bell jar ( 34 ) too.  
     
     
         6 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the means ( 18 ) for setting the spacing between the upper portion ( 12 ) and the lower portion ( 14 ,  34 ) consist of a rod ( 36 ) upwards protruding from the lower portion ( 14 ,  34 ) and provided on the top with a threading ( 38 ) to be engaged in a threaded recess ( 39 ) pierced in the first relief ( 16 ) so that a rotation of the upper portion ( 12 ) with respect to the lower portion ( 14 ,  34 ) causes a variation in the spacing between them.  
     
     
         7 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the lower relief ( 20 ) is provided with a neck able to house a split resilient ring ( 44 ) continued with a rigid rod ( 42 ) suited to be stuck in the soil.  
     
     
         8 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the lower relief ( 20 ) is forcedly fit in a bushing ( 54 ), built in one piece, with a point ( 52 ) suited to be stuck in the soil.  
     
     
         9 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the lower relief ( 20 ), provided with a neck, houses a split resilient ring ( 66 ) connected to a vertical rod ( 64 ) built in continuity of a spiral basis ( 62 ) defining a support plane.  
     
     
         10 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the lower relief ( 20 ), provided with a neck, houses a split resilient ring ( 76 ) connected to a cantilever bracket ( 74 ) coming am of a planar support disk ( 72 ).  
     
     
         11 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the lower relief ( 20 ), is fitted in a recess ( 86 ) bored in a substantially conical relief ( 84 ) fanned at the centre of a planar support disk ( 82 ).  
     
     
         12 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that, for reasons of wall fastening, the lower relief ( 20 ) is received in a resilient band ( 96 ), having Ω shape, continued with two small brackets ( 92   a ,  92   b ) fastened to a wall by means of two screws.  
     
     
         13 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that for reasons of safety, in order to avoid getting in touch with matters housed in the lower portion ( 14 ,  34 ), is used an annular wire gauze ( 100 ) forcedly inserted in the mouth of the lower portion ( 14 ,  34 ) of the container.  
     
     
         14 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 13 , characterized in that the annular wire gauze ( 100 ) is formed by an annulus ( 102 ), embodied by wire gauze, and by a sized and shaped sleeve ( 104 ) to be forcedly inserted in the mouth of the lower portion ( 14 ,  34 ) of the container.  
     
     
         15 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the relief ( 16   a ) on the top of the upper portion ( 12 ) is crossed by a ring ( 110 ) able to allow hanging of the container to a support ( 112 ), such as a hook, a pin or a tree branch.  
     
     
         16 . Container for different uses, as in  claim 1 , characterized in that the relief ( 16 ) on the top of the upper portion ( 12 ) is of the kind of external disengaged crown, in order to make impossible any accidental disconnection of the upper portion ( 12 ) by unscrewing thereof by not responsible people, such as children, the engagement between the external crown and the internal portion of the relief ( 16 ) occurring by simultaneous application of pressure and turn to the same crown.
