Storage and Mixing Container for Fine-Grain Substances and Snack Foods

Abstract

A storage container and mixing aid device combined into one utensil having two threaded openings opposite one another onto which screw on lids can be placed. This device serves as a storage container for fine-grain substances, powders, or small snack foods and candies. It also provides a mechanism for channeling fine-grain substances into bottles or other containers without spilling or wasting and allows consumers to control the portion of snack that they consume and/or dispense.

1 . A container, comprising: a bottle-shaped design, with two openings opposite one another, with the top opening being wider than the bottom opening and each opening containing screw on caps to allow for storage of fine-grained substances or snack foods which upon removal of the smaller opening's cap can be used to easily channel through without spilling the stored substance. 
     
     
         2 . The container in  claim 1 , wherein the material used to construct the storage container and screw on caps can be made of plastic or any other smooth, durable material such as metal, aluminum, and the like. 
     
     
         3 . The container in  claim 1 , wherein the size of the storage container is 2 inches to 10 inches in length and can hold a capacity of 1 ounce to 64 ounces. 
     
     
         4 . The container in  claim 1 , wherein the top opening is 1 inch to 5 inches in diameter and bottom opening is ¼ inch to 2 inches in diameter; and each opening is threaded to enable the use of a threaded cap with each opening. 
     
     
         5 . The container  claim 4 , wherein there is a screw on cap for the top opening measuring 1 inch to 5 inches in diameter and a screw on cap for the bottom opening measuring ¼ inch to 2 inches in diameter. 
     
     
         6 . The container in  claim 5 , wherein the construction design and bottle shape allow for the top lid to be removed with the bottom lid still secured, and filled with a fine-grain substance, powder, or snack food which can be stored for an extended period of time. 
     
     
         7 . The container in  claim 5 , wherein the container's bottom lid can be detached and the stored substance can be easily channeled into another substance, such as liquid, for easy mixing without spilling; or the snack food can be dispensed in small servings. 
     
     
         8 . The container in  claim 5 , wherein the bottom opening can be attached and the top opening detached so that snack food may be removed in larger portions. 
     
     
         9 . The container in  claim 5 , wherein both the bottom and top lids are attached the stored substance is kept dry if the container is exposed to water and free of contaminants. 
     
     
         10 . The container in  claim 1 , wherein both the top and bottom lids can be detached and the bottom opening is placed over or on top of another bottle's opening while a substance is channeled into the bottle by being poured into the top opening. 
     
     
         11 . The container in  claim 1 , wherein the size and weight of the design of the storage container allow for easy portability. 
     
     
         12 . The container in  claim 1 , wherein the bottle-shaped design is an improvement in that it allows for increased capacity over similar containers with standard angle cone-shaped designs and allows for the container to set upon a bottle or other container's opening without being held by the user.
