Abstract

Disclosed embodiments include apparatus configured to safely transport edible and non-edible products and to conveniently dispense the products as desired. A disclosed embodiment may include a body comprising a central portion defining comprising an upper portion defining a first opening configured to receive a liquid or solid material and a lower portion defining a second opening configured to discharge the liquid or solid material. The body may also include a top portion comprising a sealing mechanism configured to releasably seal the first opening and a bottom portion detachably connected to the central portion at the second opening. The apparatus may also include a strap connected to the body wherein the lower portion of the central portion is configured to be folded between the strap and the body after the bottom portion has been detached.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a body comprising:
 a central portion defining a cavity therein and comprising:
 an upper portion defining a first opening configured to receive a liquid or solid material; and 
 a lower portion defining a second opening configured to discharge the liquid or solid material; and 
 
 a top portion connected to the central portion at the first opening and comprising a sealing mechanism configured to releasably seal the first opening; 
 a bottom portion detachably connected to the central portion at the second opening, wherein the second opening is sealed by the bottom portion when the bottom portion is attached to the central portion and unsealed when the bottom portion is detached from the central portion; 
 a detachment mechanism configured to allow the bottom portion to be detached from the central portion; and 
   a strap connected to the body wherein the lower portion of the central portion is configured to be folded between the strap and the body after the bottom portion has been detached.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the central portion is disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the width of the cavity is tapered from the top portion to the bottom portion. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body is formed of a polymeric material. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the detachment mechanism further comprises a distorted section. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the distorted section comprises a perforated strip. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the distorted section comprises a laser-scored strip. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the detachment mechanism comprises a notch. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the notch is laser scored. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where the body further comprises a skirt disposed at the edge of the body. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body is formed of a medical grade low density poly ethylene. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body is formed of metallocene. 
     
     
         13 . An apparatus comprising:
 a body comprising:
 a central portion disposed between a top portion and a central portion, defining a cavity therein and comprising:
 an upper portion defining a first opening configured to receive a liquid or solid material; and 
 a lower portion defining a second opening configured to discharge the liquid or solid material; and 
 
 a top portion connected to the central portion at the first opening and comprising;
 a sealing mechanism comprising a male track disposed on a first flap and a female track disposed on a second flap wherein the sealing mechanism is configured to releasably seal the first opening when the male and female tracks are fastened together; 
 
 a bottom portion detachably connected to the second opening wherein the second opening is sealed when the bottom portion is attached and unsealed when the bottom portion is detached; 
 a skirt disposed at the edge of the body; 
 a detachment mechanism configured to allow the bottom portion to be detached from the central portion and comprising:
 a notch disposed on the skirt; and 
 
   a strap connected to the body wherein the lower portion of the central portion is configured to be folded between the strap and the body after the bottom portion has been detached; and   wherein the width of the cavity is tapered from the top section to the bottom section.   
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the body is formed of a polymeric material. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein the body is formed of a medical grade low density poly ethylene. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein the body is formed of metallocene. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the detachment mechanism further comprises a distorted section. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the distorted section comprises a perforated strip. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the distorted section comprises a laser-scored strip. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the notch is laser scored.
