Novel containers and uses thereof

Abstract

Provided herein novel assembly comprising a vessel component and a support component that can become reversible attached or detached from each other.

1 . An assembly comprising:
 a) a vessel component comprising a side wall, a top rim and a bottom; and   b) a support component comprising a base and a stem, wherein said stem extends vertically from the base;   wherein the bottom of said vessel component comprises a threaded element; and wherein the stem of the support component comprises a threaded hole; and wherein the vessel component is designed to become reversibly engaged with the support component by screwing the threaded element of the vessel component into the threaded hole of the support component.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the threaded element of the vessel component is attached to the bottom of the vessel component. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the threaded element of the vessel component and the bottom of the vessel component form a single member. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the vessel component and the threaded element are made of the same material. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the support component further comprises a securing element, wherein said securing element is operatively engaged with the threaded hole of the support component. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the securing element comprises a spring-like mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the securing element is positioned inside the threaded hole of the support component. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 5 , wherein when the threaded element is screwed into the threaded hole, the threaded element is designed to physically interact with the securing element. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the vessel component further comprises a release element, wherein said release element surrounds the threaded element and is designed to become operatively engaged with the threaded hole of the support element. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 9 , wherein when the threaded element or a portion thereof, becomes accidentally detached from the bottom of the vessel component, the release element is configured to extricate the threaded element or a portion thereof from the threaded hole. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the support component further comprises a removable release element, wherein said release element is a part of the stem of the support component. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein when the threaded element or a portion thereof, becomes accidentally detached from the bottom of the vessel component, the release element is removed to thereby extricate the threaded element or a portion thereof from the threaded hole. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the vessel component is selected from the group consisting of a drinking glass, a wineglass, a flute, a goblet, a bowl, and a cup. 
     
     
         14 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the vessel component is made of a glass, a crystal glass, a lead crystal, or a lead-free crystal. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the base and the stem of the support component form a single member. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the base can be detached from the stem of the support component. 
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the support component is made of metal or an alloy. 
     
     
         18 . The assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and tin.
