Abstract

The present structure provides a content extractor including a retention member sized to fit into an inner surface of a container and a pull member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the pull member having a pull tab, the distal end of the pull member configured to securely extend from the retention member in slidable communication with the inner surface of the container.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A content extractor, comprising:
 a retention member having a first surface and a second surface sized to fit into an inner surface of a container; and   a pull member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the pull member having a pull tab, the distal end of the pull member configured to securely extend from the retention member;   wherein the pull member engages the retention member in slidable communication with the inner surface of the container.   
   
   
       2 . The content extractor according to  claim 1 , wherein the retention member is cylindrical, square, rectangular, triangular, or elliptical in shape. 
   
   
       3 . The content extractor according to  claim 1 , wherein the retention member includes an extended perimeter. 
   
   
       4 . The content extractor according to  claim 3 , wherein the extended perimeter includes at least two extended tabs. 
   
   
       5 . The content extractor according to  claim 1 , wherein the retention member includes a diameter from about 1.25 inches to greater than about 11.75 inches. 
   
   
       6 . The content extractor according to  claim 1 , wherein the pull member includes a diameter from about 0.0625 inches to greater than about 2.0 inches and a length from about 6.0 inches to greater than about 84 inches. 
   
   
       7 . The content extractor according to  claim 1 , wherein the pull member is adjustable in length. 
   
   
       8 . The content extractor according to  claim 1 , wherein the pull member is configured to securely extend from the retention member by a coupling mechanism. 
   
   
       9 . The content extractor according to  claim 1 , wherein the retention member and the pull member are formed from material comprising plastic. 
   
   
       10 . A content extractor, comprising:
 a first and a second retention member, each retention member having a first surface and a second surface sized to fit into an inner surface of a container; and   a pull member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the pull member configured to securely extend to the first retention member by a pull tab, the distal end of the pull member configured to securely extend from the second retention member;   wherein the pull member engages the first and the second retention members in slidable communication with the inner surface of the container.   
   
   
       11 . The content extractor according to  claim 10 , wherein either or both the first and the second retention members include an extended perimeter. 
   
   
       12 . The content extractor according to  claim 10 , wherein the pull member is adjustable in length. 
   
   
       13 . The content extractor according to  claim 10 , wherein the proximal end of the pull member is configured to securely extend to the first retention member by a pull tab coupling mechanism and wherein the distal end of the pull member is configured to securely extend from the second retention member by a coupling mechanism. 
   
   
       14 . A method of forming a content extractor, comprising:
 forming a retention member having a first surface and a second surface sized to fit into an inner surface of a container;   forming a pull member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the pull member having a pull tab, the distal end of the pull member configured to securely extend from the retention member; and   positioning the pull member to engage the retention member in slidable communication with the inner surface of the container.   
   
   
       15 . The content extractor according to  claim 14 , wherein forming the retention member includes forming the retention member having a diameter from about 1.25 inches to greater than about 11.75 inches. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein forming the retention member includes forming the retention member with an extended perimeter. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein forming the extended perimeter includes forming the extended perimeter having at least two extended tabs. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein forming the pull member includes forming the pull member that is adjustable in length. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein forming the pull member includes forming the pull member configured to extend from the retention member by a coupling mechanism. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein forming the retention member and forming the pull member include forming the retention member and forming the pull member from material comprising plastic.
