The embodiments herein generally relate a container, and, more particularly to a spill proof denture container.
The old age people mostly rely on dental appliances like dentures, retainer, and mouth guards. The dental appliances are required to be kept free of microorganisms/environmental pollutions. The dental appliances are required to be cleaned on regular basis is a good practice. When the dental appliances are not in use, the dental appliances are required to be kept in a liquid inside a container to keep it germ free.
There are many containers in the market sold at high prices. The containers are made of low grade plastic, this leads to the breaking of the container. The other major problem in most of the present containers is the leakage and spillage. The containers open up when kept in the purse, bag or alike. This leads to the hygiene problems and sometimes damage to the dental appliances.
The present invention provides a better solution to the above mentioned problems, by providing a cheap and easy to carry, compact, spill and leak proof container.
In view of the foregoing, an embodiment herein provides a spill proof dental appliance container for protecting a dental appliance such as dentures from dust, environment pollution and microorganisms. The spill proof dental appliance container includes a lid, a lower portion, and a retractable strainer with holes. The lid includes one or more internal threads in the inner side of the lid. The lower portion with one or more external threads on a top of the lower portion. The lid is adapted to open and close the spill proof denture container. The one or more internal threads of the lid screws over the one or more external threads of the lower portion to close the spill proof denture container. The lid is adapted to lock with the lower portion of the spill proof denture container. The retractable strainer includes a handle to withdraw from or place back the retractable strainer to the lower portion of the spill proof denture container.
When the retractable strainer is removed out from the lower portion of the spill proof denture container, the tiny holes allow proper drainage of liquid from the retractable strainer to the lower portion of the spill proof denture container. In another embodiment, the lid is in dome shape for easy opening and closing of the spill proof denture container. In yet another embodiment, the color of the spill proof denture container is fluorescent for easy visibility to one or more users.
These and other aspects of the embodiments herein will be better appreciated and understood when considered in conjunction with the following description and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the following descriptions, while indicating preferred embodiments and numerous specific details thereof, are given by way of illustration and not of limitation.

Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
As mentioned, there remains a need of a spill proof container for carrying dentures. The embodiments herein achieve this by providing a spill proof denture container. Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to
The lower portion 106 includes liquid for protecting the denture (i.e., false teeth) from dusts and environmental pollutions. The retractable strainer 104 is adapted to hold the denture. A handle 110 is attached to the retractable strainer 104 to withdraw from or place back the retractable strainer 104 to the lower portion 106 of the spill proof dental appliance container 100. The retractable strainer 104 includes holes 116 that allow proper drainage of the liquid from the retractable strainer 104 to the lower portion 106 of the spill proof dental appliance container 100. The lid 102 includes ridges 114 that are adapted for easy opening and closing of the spill proof dental appliance container 100. In one embodiment, the spill proof dental appliance container 100 is used to keep other dry articles like hearing aids or alike. In one embodiment, the color of the spill proof dental appliance container 100 is fluorescent color. In one embodiment, the lid 102 is dome-shaped for easy opening and closing of the spill proof dental appliance container 100, wherein the spill proof dental appliance container 100 is made from a durable plastic material. In other embodiment, the ridges 114 are made from material selected from the group of durable rubber, plastic or mixture thereof.
The spill proof dental appliance container 100 helps in keeping dentures or alike, when the denture is not in use. The spill proof dental appliance container 100 protects the denture from microorganisms, dust and environmental pollution. The spill proof dental appliance container 100 is a water tight, leak proof and spill proof denture container. The compact size of the spill proof dental appliance container 100 helps in carrying the denture in purse, bag or in small spaces. The dome shaped lid 102 helps in easy opening and closing of the spill proof dental appliance container 100. The fluorescent colors help in easy visibility of the spill proof dental appliance container 100 by the user, if the box is lost.
The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments. It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
