Container Assembly

Abstract

A container having the ability to preserve contents is disclosed. The container can have a seal with a viewer, which can bend light, which will enable a user to better view the contents of the container while it is sealed. The container can also have a receptacle that can be filled with different items for better storage of the contents. The container having a viewer can also have a receptacle that allows the user to still see through the viewer to the contents.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a lid comprising a lid surface;   a sealing element comprising a viewer; and   a container;   wherein the viewer is configured to allow light to pass from the container through the viewer;   the sealing element is removably coupled to the container; and the lid is removably coupled to the container, and the sealing element is located between the lid and the container.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the lid further comprises a lid window, the lid surface defines a lid opening; and light is able to pass through the viewer, the lid opening, and the lid window. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the lid window is at least partially located in the lid opening. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the viewer is configured to bend light traveling from inside the container through the viewer. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the viewer is configured to provide magnification or demagnification. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the viewer resides at least partially in the lid opening. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the lid further comprises a lid window, wherein the lid window is configured to bend light traveling from inside the container through the lid window. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing element and the container form a seal. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the lid further comprises a tamper-evident ring; a tamper-resistant top and a tamper-resistant bottom; or the tamper-evident ring, the tamper-resistant top, and the tamper-resistant bottom. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the viewer is configured to provide magnification, and a focal point is predetermined. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a flap coupled to the sealing element; wherein the flap defines a flap window, the flap is able to move to and from being perpendicular to the sealing element and parallel to the sealing element; and when the flap is parallel to the sealing element, the flap window allows light to pass through the viewer and thought the flap window. 
     
     
         12 - 23 . (canceled) 
     
     
         24 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing element is removably coupled to the container by an adhesive. 
     
     
         25 . The apparatus of  claim 24 , wherein the adhesive is heat activated. 
     
     
         26 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the viewer defines a focal point and the focal point is located inside the container.
