Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A cane comprising: 
 a top;    a shaft having a first compartment, a second compartment and at least a third compartment, the top connected to the shaft;    a first flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the first compartment;    a second flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the second compartment; and    at least a third flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the third compartment.    
     
     
         2 . A cane as described in  claim 1  wherein each flask comprises a cap and a base in which fluid is held and on which the cap fits.  
     
     
         3 . A cane as described in  claim 2  wherein the shaft comprises a first portion and a second portion which removably connects with the first portion, the first portion having the first and second compartments, and the second portion having at least the third compartment.  
     
     
         4 . A cane as described in  claim 3  wherein the shaft is cylindrically shaped.  
     
     
         5 . A cane as described in  claim 4  wherein each compartment is cylindrically shaped and each base is cylindrically shaped.  
     
     
         6 . A cane as described and  claim 5  wherein the shaft is made of wood, metal or plastic.  
     
     
         7 . A cane as described in  claim 6  wherein each flask is made of glass, plastic or metal.  
     
     
         8 . A cane as described in  claim 7  wherein each compartment is separated by a spacer.  
     
     
         9 . A cane as described in  claim 8  wherein the first portion and the second portion have threads which engage to hold the first portion and the second portion together.  
     
     
         10 . A cane as described in  claim 9  wherein the top and the first portion have threads which engage to hold the top and the first portion together.  
     
     
         11 . A cane as described in  claim 10  wherein the cap screws onto the base.  
     
     
         12 . A cane as described in  claim 10  wherein the cap forms a friction fit with the base.  
     
     
         13 . A cane as described in  claim 9  wherein the first portion has a separator disposed in it which contacts with the second flask in the second compartment with the first portion and second portion are held together to prevent rattling of the second flask.  
     
     
         14 . A cane comprising: 
 a top;    a shaft having a compartment;    a first flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the compartment;    a second flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the compartment; and    at least a third flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the compartment.    
     
     
         15 . A method for storing materials comprising the steps of: 
 placing a first flask for holding material into a first compartment of a shaft of a cane;    placing a second flask for holding material into a second compartment of the shaft of the cane;    placing a third flask into a third compartment of the shaft of the cane; and    connecting a cap of the cane onto the shaft of the cane.    
     
     
         16 . A method as described in  claim 15  including the step of connecting a first portion of the cane having the first and second compartments with a second portion of the cane having at least the third compartment.  
     
     
         17 . A method as described in  claim 16  including the steps of filling a base of each flask with a desired material and placing a cap and each flask.  
     
     
         18 . A method of forming a cane comprising the steps of: 
 drilling a first compartment out of a first portion of a shaft from a first end of the first portion;    drilling a second compartment out of the first portion of the shaft from a second end of the first portion; and    drilling a third compartment out of a second portion of the shaft from a first end of the second portion.    
     
     
         19 . A cane comprising: 
 a top;    a shaft having a first compartment, a second compartment, a third compartment, and a fourth compartment, the top connected to the shaft;    a first flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the first compartment;    a second flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the second compartment;    a third flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the third compartment; and    a fourth flask for holding fluid and removably disposed in the fourth compartment.    
     
     
         20 . An apparatus for carrying a fluid comprising: 
 at least one flask which holds the fluid;    a case which holds the flask; and    means for storing information, the storing means disposed in the case.
