The disclosure and prior art relates to containers and more particularly pertains to a new container for storing marinade for clean, easy application.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a container body defining a container inside and having an open top side. The container body has a lip extending from an outer perimeter of the open top side. A lid is coupled to the container body and has a rim extending down from an outer perimeter of a lid underside. The rim is selectively engageable with the lip of the container body to seal and alternatively unseal the container inside. The lid comprises a front flap and a back flap coupled to a hinge extending along a diameter of a lid top side. The front flap is independently disengageable from the lip while maintaining the back flap engaged with the lip. The front flap has a brush aperture extending from the lid top side through the lid underside. A sleeve is coupled to the lid within the brush aperture. A brush comprising a handle and a plurality of bristles is slidably engageable within the sleeve.
In another embodiment, the invention comprises a container body defining a container inside and having an open top side. The container body has a lip extending from an outer perimeter of the open top side. At least one divider wall is coupled to the container body to divide the container inside into at least two even compartments. A lid is coupled to the container body and has a rim extending down from an outer perimeter of a lid underside. The rim is selectively engageable with the lip of the container body to seal and alternatively unseal the container inside. The lid comprises at least two flaps coupled to a hinge extending along a lid top side and corresponding to the divider walls. Each flap is independently disengageable from the lip while maintaining the other flaps engaged with the lip to expose each compartment. Each flap has a brush aperture extending from the lid top side through the lid underside. A plurality of sleeves is coupled to the lid within the brush aperture of each flap. A plurality of brushes each comprises a handle and a plurality of bristles. The brushes are slidably engageable within the sleeves.
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
In use, the flaps 28 can be individually opened to add marinades that are sealed off from other marinades by the divider walls 22. The plurality of sleeves 36 create a tight seal around the plurality of brushes 40. The plurality of brushes 40 allows the user to independently apply the marinades without exposing the compartments 23.
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.
