Portable container for storing viscous substance

Abstract

A portable container for storing a substance capable of having varying degrees of viscosity is described. The container holds the substance, such as marijuana concentrate, without leakage or spilling and at a nearly constant upright or level position. The container includes several components including an outer shell, an inner ball having a low center of gravity, and liners that are inserted into the inner ball to hold the substance. A heavy base in the inner ball provides a low center of gravity for the ball which helps keep it upright regardless of the orientation or movement of the container. The outer shell includes two components that are coupled tightly using a pin, track, and magnet mechanism requiring little effort by the user to open and close.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container for storing a viscous substance comprising:
 a first outer component having a plurality of pins and a first plurality of magnets;   a second outer component having a plurality of indentations and a second plurality of magnets;   an inner ball having a base and a storage component, wherein the base provides a low center of gravity for the inner ball and wherein the substance remains upright and level regardless of orientation or movement of the container, thereby preventing leakage and loss of substance when opening the container.   
     
     
         2 . A container as recited in  claim 1  wherein the first outer component is coupled to the second outer component by having the plurality of pins inserted into the plurality of indentations. 
     
     
         3 . A container as recited in  claim 2  wherein the first plurality of magnets is attracted to the second plurality of magnets thereby creating a tightly sealed container when the first outer component and the second outer component are coupled. 
     
     
         4 . A container as recited in  claim 3  wherein the plurality of pins is aligned with the plurality of indentations through attraction of the magnets thereby requiring minimal effort by the user to have to performed said alignment. 
     
     
         5 . A container as recited in  claim 2  wherein separating the first outer component and the second outer component requires twisting such that the plurality of pins move within the plurality of indentations and the attraction between the first plurality of magnets and the second plurality of magnets decreases enabling a user to separate the first outer component and the second outer component. 
     
     
         6 . A container as recited in  claim 1  wherein the base of the inner ball has a higher density than a material forming the storage component and wherein the inner ball has a low center of gravity. 
     
     
         7 . A container as recited in  claim 1  wherein the first outer component and the second outer component is comprised of one of plastic, aluminum, carbon fiber, and wood.
