The disclosure relates to container devices and more particularly pertains to a new container device for magnifying an object container within a container.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a bottle that may contain an object. A magnifying unit is positionable within the bottle. Thus, the magnifying unit may magnify the object contained within the bottle thereby facilitating the object to be seen.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A lid 24 is provided that has a top wall 26 and a lip 28. The lid 24 has a raised portion 30 and an outer edge 32. The lip 28 is coextensive with the outer edge 32 and the raised portion 30 is centrally positioned on the top wall 26. Each of the base 66 and the lid 24 may be comprised of a resiliently deformable material such as silicone or the like.
A cylinder 34 is provided that has a top end 36, a bottom end 38, an inner surface 40 and an outer surface 42. Each of the top end 36 and the bottom end 38 are open thereby facilitating the cylinder 34 to removably contain the object 14. The inner surface 40 is spaced from the outer surface 42 to define a space 44 within the cylinder. The outer surface 42 curves outwardly between the top end 36 and the bottom end 38.
The cylinder 34 is removably positionable in the base 66 having the bottom end 38 abutting the top surface 22. The peripheral wall 20 frictionally engages the outer surface 42. The lid 24 is removably coupled to the top end 36. The lip 28 frictionally engages the outer surface 42. The cylinder 34 is comprised of a translucent material thereby facilitating the object 14 to be visible through the cylinder 34.
A magnifying unit 46 is positionable within the bottle 12. The magnifying unit 46 may magnify the object 14 contained within the bottle 12 thereby facilitating the object 14 to be seen. The magnifying unit 46 comprises a tube 48 that has a first end 50, a second end 52 and an exterior surface 54 extending between the first end 50 and the second end 52. The tube 48 is insertable into the space 44 such that the exterior surface 54 is positioned between the inner surface 40 and the outer surface 42. The tube 48 is comprised of an image magnifying material. The tube 48 may comprise a Fresnel lens or the like.
In use, the cylinder 34 is positioned within the base 66. The tube 48 is positioned within the space 44. The object 14 is placed within the cylinder 34 and the lid 24 is positioned on the cylinder 34. The tube 48 magnifies the label 16 on the medication bottle thereby facilitating the label 16 to be read. The lid 24 is removed and the object 14 is removed from the cylinder 34.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
