Modeling Clay Container

Abstract

The container of the present invention is designed to allow for easy extraction of contents that would normally adhere to the interior walls of current containers by providing a semi rigid cylindrical container having a single continuous side defining frustoconical shape, a top portion wherein at least one flexible liner is attached to the top portion of the container. The container further possesses a bottom portion wherein such bottom portion has at least one aperture.

We hereby claim: 
     
         1 . A container allowing for the ease of removal of its contents comprised of a container having a single continuous side defining a frustoconical shape, a bottom portion at one end of the container having at least one aperture, a top portion at the opposite end, a non rigid flexible liner wherein the at least one flexible liner is permanently attached to the exterior of the top portion of the container. 
     
     
         2 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one flexible liner is attached to the interior of the top portion of the container. 
     
     
         3 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the top portion possesses a channel. 
     
     
         4 . A container according to  claim 3  wherein the at least one flexible liner is secured to the channel of the top portion of the container. 
     
     
         5 . A container according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one flexible liner is removably attached to the top portion of the container. 
     
     
         6 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one flexible liner is sized and shaped to fit and nest within the container. 
     
     
         7 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one aperture is located in the center of the bottom portion of the container. 
     
     
         8 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the container possesses a lid. 
     
     
         9 . A container according to  claim 8  wherein the lid possesses a tab or pull to easily open the lid. 
     
     
         10 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the container is constructed of a semi rigid material. 
     
     
         11 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the container is constructed of plant-based bio-polyethylene terephthalate. 
     
     
         12 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the container contains at least one aperture in the continuous side wall. 
     
     
         13 . A container allowing for the ease of removal of its contents comprised of a container having a single continuous side defining a frustoconical shape, a bottom portion at one end of the container having at least one aperture, a top portion at the opposite end, a non rigid flexible liner wherein the at least one flexible liner is permanently attached to the exterior of the top portion of the container wherein such container fits concentrically within a larger frustoconical shaped container.
