Two-tier screw together container with lid

Abstract

A tiered container for containing a product. A generally cylindrical first section has a closed bottom end and an open, threaded top end. A generally cylindrical second section has an open threaded bottom end and an open, threaded top end. The bottom end of the generally cylindrical second section is configured to be screwed onto the top end of the generally cylindrical first section and wherein the threaded lid is configured to be screwed onto the top end of the second section to form an assembled container. As product is used from the container, the generally cylindrical second section can be removed, and the threaded lid can be screwed onto the top end of the generally cylindrical first section.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A tiered container for containing a product comprising:
 a generally cylindrical first section having a closed bottom end and an open, threaded top end;   a generally cylindrical second section having an open threaded bottom end and an open, threaded top end; and   a threaded lid;   wherein the bottom end of the generally cylindrical second section is configured to be screwed onto the top end of the generally cylindrical first section and wherein the threaded lid is configured to be screwed onto the top end of the second section to form an assembled container.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the second section is configured to be removed and the threaded lid is configured to be screwed onto the top end of the first section. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the top end of the first section and the top end of the second section narrow in circumference such that the assembled container has a generally uniform circumference along a height that extends from the bottom end of the first section to the lid. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1  further comprising additional generally cylindrical sections, each additional generally cylindrical section having an open threaded bottom end and an open, threaded top end, and wherein the bottom end of each additional generally cylindrical section can be screwed onto the top end of another generally cylindrical section.
