Abstract

Containers having one or more compartments, wherein said one or more compartments form a structure; at least one opening fluidly connected to the one or more compartments; at least one void formed within the structure; and at least one handle functionally connected to the structure intersecting the void.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A container comprising: 
 one or more compartments, wherein said one or more compartments form a structure;    at least one opening fluidly connected to the one or more compartments;    at least one void formed extending at least partially through the structure; and    at least one handle functionally connected to the structure intersecting the void forming at least two apertures.    
   
   
       2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the structure is made from a plastic.  
   
   
       3 . The container of  claim 2  wherein the plastic is selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, and mixtures thereof.  
   
   
       4 . The container of  claim 3  wherein the plastic is high density polyethylene.  
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the one or more compartments have a volume from about 10 ml to about 5000 ml.  
   
   
       6 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one handle is at least partly hollow.  
   
   
       7 . The container of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one handle is in fluid communication with the one or more compartments.  
   
   
       8 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the location of the at least one handle encompasses the center of gravity.  
   
   
       9 . The container of  claim 1 , formed by blow-molding.  
   
   
       10 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the container is formed from one piece of plastic.  
   
   
       11 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one sealer functionally connected to the at least one opening.  
   
   
       12 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one sealer is selected from diaphragm valves, ball valves, slit valves, press taps, self-raining spouts, traditional spouts, divided spouts, screw caps, pull caps, snap caps, flip caps, vented caps, and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       13 . A container comprising: 
 two or more compartments, wherein said two or more compartments form a structure;    at least one void formed extending at least partially through the structure; and at least one handle functionally connected to the structure intersecting the void forming at least two apertures.    
   
   
       14 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the structure is made from a plastic.  
   
   
       15 . The container of  claim 14 , wherein the plastic is selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, and mixtures thereof.  
   
   
       16 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein the plastic is high density polyethylene.  
   
   
       17 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the two or more compartments have a volume from about 10 ml to about 5000 ml.  
   
   
       18 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one handle is at least partly hollow.  
   
   
       19 . The container of  claim 18 , wherein the at least one handle is in fluid communication with the one or more compartments.  
   
   
       20 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the location of the at least one handle encompasses the center of gravity.  
   
   
       21 . The container of  claim 13 , formed by blow-molding.  
   
   
       22 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the container is formed from one piece of plastic.  
   
   
       23 . The container of  claim 13 , further comprising at least one sealer connected to the at least one opening.  
   
   
       24 . The container of  claim 24 , wherein the at least one sealer is selected from diaphragm valves, ball valves, slit valves, press taps, self-draining spouts, traditional spouts, divided spouts, screw caps, pull caps, snap caps, flip caps, vented caps, and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       25 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one opening is divided by a septum.  
   
   
       26 . A container comprising: 
 two compartments, wherein said two compartments form a structure;    at least one void formed extending at least partially through the structure; and    at least one handle functionally connected to the structure intersecting the void forming at least two apertures.    
   
   
       27 . The container of  claim 26 , wherein the structure is made from a plastic.  
   
   
       28 . The container of  claim 27 , wherein the plastic is selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, and mixtures thereof.  
   
   
       29 . The container of  claim 28 , wherein the plastic is high density polyethylene.  
   
   
       30 . The container of  claim 26 , wherein the two or more compartments have a volume from about 10 ml to about 5000 ml.
