Stash Flask

Abstract

Stash flasks having one or more watertight storage chambers in addition to a liquid container. The chamber(s) may be accessible from a discreet location at the bottom of the flask opposite the liquid container spout at the top. The chamber(s) may securely store one or more smoking items.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A multi-compartment flask, comprising:
 a housing defining an internal hollow region, the housing having an opening at a top of the multi-compartment flask; and   a first watertight chamber extending into the hollow region with a port at a bottom of the multi-compartment flask.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 1  further comprising a second watertight chamber, wherein the first and second watertight chambers are disposed on opposing ends of the bottom of the flask. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 1 , further comprising a liquid container disposed adjacent to the at least one watertight chamber, the at least one watertight chamber disposed at a side of the flask. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 3 , wherein the liquid container comprises a threaded spout extending outwardly from the opening at the top of the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 4 , wherein the housing further comprises a hingedly or flexibly attached threaded cap for releasably sealing the threaded spout of the liquid container. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 1 , further comprising a plug for releasably sealing the port of the first watertight chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 6 , wherein the port comprises threads and wherein the plug comprises complementary threads for engaging the port threads. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 7 , wherein the plug further comprises an o-ring seal. 
     
     
         9 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 7 , wherein the plug further comprises a U-shaped extension, wherein the U-shaped extension fits into a recessed feature in the plug in a first position and is pivotably deployable to a second position for threading the plug with the port. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 6 , wherein the plug comprises a seal for press-fitting into the port. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 10 , wherein the plug is attached to a tether complementary to the bottom of the flask. 
     
     
         12 . A multi-compartment flask, comprising:
 a housing defining an internal hollow region, the housing having an opening at a top of the multi-compartment flask;   a first watertight chamber extending into the hollow region with a port at a bottom of the multi-compartment flask;   a second watertight chamber extending into the hollow region with a port at a bottom of the multi-compartment flask,   wherein the ports of the first and second watertight chambers are disposed at opposing ends of the bottom of the multi-compartment flask; and   a liquid container disposed within the housing in-between the first and second watertight chambers,   wherein the liquid container has a spout extending outwardly from the opening at the top of the housing.   
     
     
         13 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 12 , further comprising corresponding threaded plugs for releasably sealing the respective ports of the first and second watertight chambers, wherein each plug comprises an o-ring seal and a U-shaped extension, and wherein the U-shaped extension fits into a recessed feature in the respective plug in a first position and is pivotably deployable to a second position for threading the plug with the port. 
     
     
         14 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 13 , further comprising press-fit plugs for releasably sealing the ports of the first and second watertight chambers, wherein the plugs are fixed to a flexible tether complementary to the bottom of the flask. 
     
     
         15 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 12 , wherein the length of the first watertight chamber spans substantially the entire height of the flask defined by the top of the flask and the bottom of the flask. 
     
     
         16 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 15 , wherein the length of the second watertight chamber is the same as the length of the first watertight chamber. 
     
     
         17 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 16 , wherein the length of the second watertight chamber is less than the length of the first watertight chamber. 
     
     
         18 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 12 , wherein the liquid container has a volume of at least about 8 ounces. 
     
     
         19 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 12 , further comprising a textured strike pad for striking a match. 
     
     
         20 . The multi-compartment flask of  claim 12 , wherein the flask has an overall height of about 5-8 inches, a width of about 3-5 inches, and a thickness of about 1-2 inches.
