Halloween portable container

Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus that is portable, easy to transport, and protects confections during Halloween “trick-or-treat”. The apparatus of the present invention includes a container element including a cover element, wherein the container element and cover element are in the form of a Halloween object, such as a pumpkin, witch, ghost, goblin, monster, vampire or werewolf. The apparatus further includes a projection element, which may further include a gripping element, to assist in maneuvering to push and/or pull the apparatus, via a rotating element. An alternate embodiment of the present invention is contemplated that includes a frame element to allow the container element to be disengaged from the frame element such that the container can be used as a decorative piece, for example displayed on a front porch or kitchen counter.

       21 . The apparatus of claim  1  further comprising a cover element. 
   
   
       22 . The apparatus of claim  2  further comprising a hinge element, wherein said hinge element removeably connects said container element and said cover element. 
   
   
       23 . The apparatus of claim  1  further comprising a gripping element, wherein said gripping element is connected to said proximal end of said projection element. 
   
   
       24 . The apparatus of claim  1 , wherein said projection element is a telescoping rod. 
   
   
       25 . The apparatus of claim  1  further comprising a locking element wherein said locking element engages to secure said projection element in said deployed state and disengages to secure said projection element in said collapsed state. 
   
   
       26 . The apparatus of claim  1  further comprising a fulcrum element positioned at said distal end of said projection element to allow said projection element to swivel horizontally and/or vertically to assist in maneuvering the apparatus. 
   
   
       27 . The apparatus of claim  1  further comprising an anchoring element, wherein said anchoring element locks said rotating element to prevent motion of the apparatus.
