Spill Resistant Fluid Container Apparatus

Abstract

The present invention is a spill resistant fluid container apparatus that eliminates the need for pouring of liquid such as bubble solution into or out of the spill resistant container apparatus in order to use the spill resistant container apparatus. The apparatus, which is preferably provided with bubble solution sealingly contained within the apparatus, will, when opened, prohibit the pouring of liquid out of the apparatus regardless of the physical orientation of the apparatus. The apparatus is preferably of such low cost construction that the apparatus is readily disposable after the bubble solution contained within the apparatus is substantially consumed.

1 . A container adapted to spill resistantly contain bubble creation solution while providing access to said solution, said container having an inner cavity and at least one opening covered by at least one flexible seal having a slit formed therein, and a wherein said container defines a single non-destructively inseparable structural member. 
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible seal is substantially watertightly sealed within said container by a frangible seal. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein bubble creation solution is substantially watertightly sealed within said container by a frangible seal. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible seal is adapted to allow the passage of a fluid access device into said container through said flexible seal slit. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 4 , wherein said fluid access device defines a bubble creation wand, and wherein said bubble creation wand is at least partially removably positioned within said container. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible seal further defines a substantially self-resealing seal. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible seal further defines an elastomeric seal. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible seal further defines a concave shaped seal adapted such that when said slit is object-free and a fluid exerts a hydrostatic load against said flexible seal, said hydrostatic load causes closure loading of said flexible seal to increase. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said container further defines the non-destructively inseparable assembly of a bottle and a collar, and wherein said collar includes said flexible seal affixed thereto. 
     
     
         10 . A container adapted to hermetically contain bubble creation solution and adapted to provide spill resistant access to said bubble creation solution after hermeticity termination, said container having an inner cavity and at least one opening covered by at least one flexible seal, said flexible seal being substantially watertightly sealed within said container by a frangible seal. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein said flexible seal flexible includes a slit formed therein. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein said container further includes bubble creation solution substantially watertightly sealed within said container by said frangible seal. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein said flexible seal flexible includes a slit formed therein, and wherein said flexible seal is adapted to allow the passage of a fluid access device into said container through said flexible seal slit. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein said fluid access device defines a bubble creation wand, and wherein said bubble creation wand is at least partially removably positioned within said container. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein said flexible seal further defines a substantially self-resealing seal. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein said flexible seal further defines an elastomeric seal. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 11 , wherein said flexible seal further defines a concave shaped seal adapted such that when said slit is object-free and a fluid exerts a hydrostatic load against said flexible seal, said hydrostatic load causes closure loading of said flexible seal to increase. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein said container further defines the non-destructively inseparable assembly of a bottle and a collar, and wherein said collar includes said flexible seal affixed thereto. 
     
     
         19 . A container adapted to hermetically contain bubble creation solution and adapted to provide spill resistant access to said bubble creation solution after hermeticity termination, said container having an inner cavity and at least one opening covered by at least one flexible seal having a slit formed therein, said flexible seal and a quantity of bubble creation solution being substantially watertightly sealed within said container by a frangible seal. 
     
     
         20 . The container of  claim 19 , wherein said flexible seal further defines a substantially self-resealing concave shaped elastomeric seal adapted to allow passage of a bubble creation wand into said container through said flexible seal slit and adapted such that when said slit is object-free and a fluid exerts a hydrostatic load against said flexible seal, said hydrostatic load causes closure loading of said flexible seal to increase, and wherein a bubble creation wand is at least partially removably positioned within said container.
