Dental buddy container

Abstract

Various examples are provided for containers. In one embodiment, a container includes an inner void extending along an axial length of the container. The inner void includes a closed end adjacent to a first end of the container and an open end at a second end of the container. The container also includes an outer void extending along the axial length of the container. The outer void encircles at least a portion of the inner void along the axial length of the container. The outer void includes a closed end encircling the inner void adjacent to the open end of the inner void and an open end at the first end of the container. An outer wall of the outer void includes a transition to a diameter of an opening at the open end of the outer void and that is adjacent to the closed end of the inner void.

Therefore, at least the following is claimed: 
     
         1 . A container, comprising:
 an inner void extending along an axial length of the container, the inner void comprising a closed end adjacent to a first end of the container and an open end at a second end of the container;   an outer void extending along the axial length of the container, the outer void encircling at least a portion of the inner void along the axial length of the container, the outer void comprising a closed end encircling the inner void adjacent to the open end of the inner void and an open end at the first end of the container; and   an outer wall defining an outer dimension of the outer void, the outer wall including a transition from the outer dimension of the outer void to a diameter of an opening at the open end of the outer void, the transition adjacent to the closed end of the inner void, and the diameter of the opening at the open end of the outer void is less than the outer dimension of the outer void.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a liquid disposed within the outer void of the container, the liquid covering the closed end of the inner void, where the liquid and the transition adjacent to the closed end of the inner void obscure the presence of the inner void to an observer of the container. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2 , further comprising an item disposed within the inner void, wherein the item appears to an observer to be in the liquid. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the opening at the open end of the outer void is less than an outer dimension of the inner void. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the inner void is a circular void extending along the axial length of the container. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 5 , wherein the outer void is a circular void extending along the axial length of the container, where a diameter of the outer void greater than a diameter of the inner void. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 5 , wherein the outer void is a non-circular geometric void extending along the axial length of the container, a smallest outer dimension of the outer void greater than a diameter of the inner void. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a cover configured to seal an opening at the open end of the inner void. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the cover configured to seal an opening at the open end of the inner void engages at least a portion of an inner wall of the container to seal the opening at the open end of the inner void. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 9 , wherein an outer dimension of the cover configured to seal an opening at the open end of the inner void matches an outer dimension of the outer wall of the container. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the cover configured to seal an opening at the open end of the inner void comprises a cross-bar and recess for connection of a ring. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the inner void includes an axial length and the outer void encircles the inner void along the entire axial length of the inner void. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 12 , further comprising a cover configured to engage at least a portion of the outer wall of the container to seal an opening at the open end of the inner void. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein an outer dimension of the cover matches an outer dimension of the outer wall of the container. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a cover configured to seal the opening at the open end of the outer void. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein the cover configured to seal the opening at the open end of the outer void is a flip-top cap. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 15 , further comprising a splash top configured to secure to the container over the cover configured to seal the opening at the open end of the outer void.
