Abstract

An apparatus, a system and a method for changing a volume are provided. The container has an initial height defined between a top end and a bottom end. The container has a first section, a second section and/or a third section. The second section of the container is insertable into the first section and/or the third section. The first section and/or the third section is insertable into the second section of the container. The container holds contents, as such, solids, liquids or gases. The container seals the contents from an environment external to the container. As the contents of the container are removed from the container, the environment may fill the container. The first section, the second section and/or the third section may move to change the volume of the container to remove the environment from the container.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for storing contents within a volume, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing a container having a height defined between a top end and a bottom end wherein the top end is opposite to the bottom end wherein the container has a first section and a second section wherein the first section has an exterior surface wherein the second section has an interior surface;   inserting the first section into the second section;   connecting the exterior surface of the first section to the interior surface of the second section;   sealing the first section from the second section; and   moving the first section toward the bottom end of the container to decrease the height and the volume of the container.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of:
 inserting a ring between the first section and the second section wherein the ring seals the first section from the second section. 
 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of:
 integrally forming a lip to the first section to removably attach the first section to the second section. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of:
 forming a notch on the second section wherein the notch seals the first section from the second section. 
 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of:
 removably attaching a cap to the top end of the container. 
 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of:
 providing an opening on the top end of the container wherein the opening extends from the interior surface to the exterior surface. 
 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of:
 connecting a third section to the second section wherein the third section is sized to receive the second section.
