Stackable container system

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a stackable container system. The stackable container system can comprise a beverage container, a beverage container lid, a plurality of smaller containers, and a plurality of smaller container lids. The smaller containers and smaller container lids are configured to allow any of the smaller container lids to be used on any of the smaller containers. The bottom of the beverage container and the bottom of each smaller container is also configured to allow the beverage container or smaller container to be interlocked with the top of any of the smaller container lids. In addition to storing beverage ingredients, the stackable container system can also be used to store other edible and inedible ingredients.

         2 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom of the beverage container and the smaller containers and the top of the smaller container lids are configured with a bayonet mount for interlocking the smaller container lids with the beverage container and the smaller containers. 
     
     
         3 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 1 , wherein the top of the smaller container lids are configured to thread, snap, twist, or slide into a corresponding structure formed within the bottom of the beverage container and the smaller containers. 
     
     
         4 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 1 , wherein the smaller containers are sealable with the smaller container lids independently from the beverage container. 
     
     
         5 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the smaller containers is configured to receive a divider to form multiple compartments within the smaller container. 
     
     
         6 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 5 , wherein each of the smaller containers is configured to receive the divider. 
     
     
         7 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 5 , wherein each of the at least one of the smaller containers is configured with a lip along an interior wall on top of which the divider rests when inserted into the smaller container. 
     
     
         8 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 7 , wherein the lip is positioned above an interior bottom surface of the smaller container such that when the divider is inserted into the smaller container, a compartment is formed between the bottom of the divider and the interior bottom surface. 
     
     
         9 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage container is a baby bottle. 
     
     
         10 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage container lid includes a flip top for sealing an opening in the beverage container lid and a handle for carrying the stackable beverage container system. 
     
     
         11 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of smaller containers comprises two smaller containers, and the plurality of smaller container lids comprises two smaller container lids. 
     
     
         12 . A stackable beverage container system comprising:
 a beverage container;   a beverage container lid;   a plurality of smaller containers;   a plurality of smaller container lids; and   a divider sized to be inserted into at least one of the plurality of smaller containers when a smaller container lid is attached to the smaller container;   wherein the smaller containers and smaller container lids are configured to allow any of the smaller container lids to be used on any of the smaller containers, and wherein the bottom of the beverage container and the bottom of each smaller container is also configured to allow the beverage container or smaller container to be interlocked with the top of any of the smaller container lids.   
     
     
         13 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 12 , wherein the bottom of the beverage container and the smaller containers and the top of the smaller container lids are configured with a bayonet mount for interlocking the smaller container lids with the beverage container and the smaller containers. 
     
     
         14 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 13 , wherein a male portion of the bayonet mount is configured on the beverage container and the smaller containers, and a female portion of the bayonet mount is configured on the smaller container lids. 
     
     
         15 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 13 , wherein the smaller containers are sealable with the smaller container lids independently from the beverage container. 
     
     
         16 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 12 , wherein each of the smaller containers is configured to receive the divider. 
     
     
         17 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 12 , wherein each of the at least one of the smaller containers is configured with a lip along an interior wall on top of which the divider rests when inserted into the smaller container. 
     
     
         18 . The stackable beverage container system of  claim 17 , wherein the lip is positioned above an interior bottom surface of the smaller container such that when the divider is inserted into the smaller container, a compartment is formed between the bottom of the divider and the interior bottom surface. 
     
     
         19 . A stackable container system comprising:
 a container;   a container lid;   at least one smaller container; and   at least one smaller container lid;   wherein the bottom of the container is configured to allow the container to be interlocked with the top of any of the at least one smaller container lid when the smaller container lid is secured to one of the at least one smaller container.   
     
     
         20 . The stackable container system of  claim 19 , wherein the at least one smaller container comprises one smaller container, and the at least one smaller container lid comprises one smaller container lid, the smaller container being sealable by the smaller container lid when the smaller container lid is not interlocked with the container, the stackable container system further comprising:
 a divider that is configured to be inserted into the smaller container when the smaller container lid is secured to the smaller container.
