Travel container

Abstract

A travel container for storing liquids and ideally sized for convenient transport and storage is provided and comprises a first end having an opening that is configured to receive a cap that is releasably secured to the first end of the container to hold the liquid inside the container when the cap is in a closed position and to allow for liquid to be dispensed from the container when the cap is deployed in an open position; a body that is constructed of a flexible material that allows the container to be reshaped into a folded or rolled up state; a second end featuring a heavy duty zip lock that allows for opening and closing the container for ease of refilling the container with liquid to be dispensed; and a small tab attached to the container at its second end that allows the container to be hung in place. Optionally, a waterproof pocket is provided on the side of the container in which a label may be inserted to identify the contents of the container.

1 . A travel container for housing a liquid to be dispensed, comprising:
 A body formed into a generally tubular shape having a first end terminating in an orifice through which the contents of said container may be dispensed and a second end through which a liquid to be dispensed may be inserted into said container;
 said body being made of a flexible material, the flexibility of the body enabling said container to be deformable under squeezing pressure to facilitate dispensing of the liquid contents of said container; 
 wherein said first end has a neck that is adapted to receive a cap and 
 wherein said second end has a sealing portion for opening and closing said container; 
   and a key-shaped element that engages the second end of said body and when rotated in a direction from the second end of said body to the first end of said body, causes liquid to be dispensed from said container.   
     
     
         2 . The travel container of  claim 1  wherein said body is made out of a flexible plastic material. 
     
     
         3 . The travel container of  claim 1  wherein said body is made out of a flexible plastic-aluminum composite. 
     
     
         4 . The travel container of  claim 1  wherein said body is made out of flexible aluminum. 
     
     
         5 . The travel container of  claim 1  wherein said screw cap has a flip top allowing for liquid to be dispensed from said container when said screw cap is in an open position. 
     
     
         6 . The travel container of  claim 1 , wherein said sealing portion is a zipper sealing portion. 
     
     
         7 . The travel container of  claim 1 , wherein said sealing portion is a zipper sealing portion. 
     
     
         8 . The travel container of  claim 7 , wherein said zipper sealing portion is comprised of a recessed line portion that traverses along a first inner surface of the second end of said body and a corresponding protruding line portion that traverses along an opposing second inner surface of the second end of said body and is sized to fit securely within the recessed line portion thereby securing the second end of said body in a closed position.

         10 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a flexible label pocket comprised of a flexible plastic molded to the side of said body. 
     
     
         11 . A travel container unit comprising:
 At least one travel container comprising a body formed into a generally tubular shape having a first end terminating in an orifice through which the contents of said container may be dispensed and a second end through which a liquid to be dispensed may be inserted into said container;
 said body being made of a flexible material, the flexibility of the body enabling said container to be deformable under squeezing pressure to facilitate dispensing of the liquid contents of said container; 
 wherein said first end has a threaded neck that is adapted to receive a cap and 
 wherein said second end has a sealing portion for opening and closing said container; and 
   a hanging element comprised of a hook member, frame body and a plurality of hanging members from which said travel containers may be hung;   and wherein said body has a tab attached to said second end that engages said hanging member of said hanging element to facilitate hanging said travel containers from said hanging element.
