Magnifying Container Apparatus

Abstract

A magnifying container apparatus including a generally cylindrical member and one or more magnifying lenses is provided for magnifying, viewing, and carrying items. A magnifying lens is detachably connected to the lower end of the cylindrical member to close the lower end. The magnifying lens magnifies the items present below the magnifying lens. The cylindrical member accommodates and carries the items within a space defined by a generally cylindrical wall and between an open upper end and the closed lower end of the cylindrical member. The magnifying container apparatus further includes a threaded rod, a threaded wheel, and a generally cylindrical sieve member. The sieve member drains a predetermined amount of an extraneous element from the magnifying container apparatus, when the threaded rod, in communication with the threaded wheel, traverses the magnifying lens from the lower end of the cylindrical member toward a lower end of the sieve member.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method for magnifying and viewing items using a magnifying container apparatus, said method comprising:
 providing said magnifying container apparatus comprising:
 a generally cylindrical member comprising an open upper end and a lower end separated by a generally cylindrical wall extending therebetween; 
 one or more magnifying lenses detachably connected to said lower end of said generally cylindrical member to close said lower end of said generally cylindrical member; and 
 a trap assembly detachably attached to said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member, wherein said trap assembly comprises:
 a rod member hingedly connected to said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member, wherein said rod member is adapted to accommodate particles; and 
 a net member detachably attached to said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member; 
 
   magnifying and viewing said items present below said magnifying lens via said magnifying lens of said magnifying container apparatus.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising, accommodating said items in a space defined by said generally cylindrical wall between said open upper end and said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member of said magnifying container apparatus. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said trap member traps said items below said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member. 
     
     
         4 . A method for magnifying and viewing items using a magnifying container apparatus, said method comprising:
 providing said magnifying container apparatus comprising:
 a generally cylindrical member comprising an open upper end and a lower end separated by a generally cylindrical wall extending therebetween; 
 one or more magnifying lenses detachably connected to said lower end of said generally cylindrical member to close said lower end of said generally cylindrical member; and 
 one or more supplementary magnifying lenses of predetermined sizes positioned within said space defined by said generally cylindrical wall and between said open upper end and said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member, and connected along an inner surface of said generally cylindrical wall of said generally cylindrical member; 
   magnifying and viewing said items present below said one or more magnifying lenses via said magnifying lens of said magnifying container apparatus;   adjusting magnification by altering position of said one or more supplementary magnifying lenses, wherein said one or more supplementary magnifying lenses traverse along a track located along said inner surface of said generally cylindrical wall from said open upper end to said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member.   
     
     
         5 . A method for magnifying and viewing items, and carrying said items in a selectable amount of an extraneous element, said method comprising:
 providing a magnifying container apparatus comprising:
 a generally cylindrical member comprising an open upper end and a lower end separated by a generally cylindrical wall extending therebetween; 
 a magnifying lens detachably connected to said lower end of said generally cylindrical member to close said lower end of said generally cylindrical member; 
 at least one guide ring member fixedly attached to an outer said generally cylindrical wall of said generally cylindrical member; 
 a threaded rod slidably inserted into said at least one guide ring member, said threaded rod adapted to change a position of said magnifying lens operably connected to a lower end of said threaded rod proximal to said lower end of said generally cylindrical member, by a linear movement of said threaded rod in an upward direction and a downward direction; 
 a threaded wheel positioned on said outer said generally cylindrical wall of said generally cylindrical member, said threaded wheel adapted to operably engage with said threaded rod to transfer a rotary motion of said threaded wheel to said threaded rod for said linear movement of said threaded rod in said upward direction and said downward direction; and 
 a generally cylindrical sieve member extending from said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member; 
   magnifying and viewing said items present below said magnifying lens in said extraneous element via said magnifying lens of said magnifying container apparatus;   accommodating said items along with said extraneous element in a space defined by said generally cylindrical wall and between said open upper end and said closed lower end of said generally cylindrical member of said magnifying container apparatus;   draining a predetermined amount of said extraneous element accommodated in said space of said generally cylindrical member of said magnifying container apparatus via said generally cylindrical sieve member of said magnifying container apparatus to said selectable amount, by lowering said magnifying lens towards a lower end of said generally cylindrical sieve member by said linear movement of said threaded rod, in communication with said threaded wheel, from a first position to a second position in said downward direction; and   raising said magnifying lens towards said lower end of said generally cylindrical member of said magnifying container apparatus by said linear movement of said threaded rod, in communication with said threaded wheel, from said second position to said first position in said upward direction, to close said lower end of said generally cylindrical member and carry said items in said selectable amount of said extraneous element in said magnifying container apparatus.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said first position is proximal to said lower end of said generally cylindrical member and said second position is proximal to said lower end of said generally cylindrical sieve member.
