Containers Having Magnets

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to containers comprising one or more magnets such that the containers, when placed adjacent to one another, may be magnetically coupled together.

1 . A kit comprising: (i) a first circular container having a bottom wall with a first magnet embedded therein, wherein the second magnet is substantially centered in the bottom wall of the first circular container; and (ii) a first lid configured to releasably engage a circular wall of the first container, wherein the first lid comprises a second magnet embedded therein, and wherein the first magnet is substantially centered within the first lid. 
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first magnet and the second magnet have opposite polarities. 
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first container has a diameter ranging from between about 2 inches to about 10 inches, and wherein the lid has substantially the same diameter. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first container has a diameter ranging from between about 3 inches to about 8 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first container has a diameter ranging from between about 4 inches to about 8 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first magnet is sized such that it comprises between about 5% and about 20% of an area defined by the bottom wall of the container. 
     
     
         7 . The kit of  claim 1 , further comprising a second circular container having a bottom wall with a third magnet embedded therein, wherein the third magnet is substantially centered in the bottom wall of the second container; and (ii) a second lid configured to releasably engage a circular wall of the second circular container, wherein the second lid comprises a fourth magnet embedded therein, and wherein the fourth magnet is substantially centered within the second lid. 
     
     
         8 . A kit comprising: (i) a first rectangular container having a bottom wall with a first magnet embedded therein, wherein the second magnet is substantially centered in the bottom wall of the first rectangular container; and (ii) a first lid configured to releasably engage the first rectangular container, wherein the first lid comprises a second magnet embedded therein, and wherein the first magnet is substantially centered within the first lid. 
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the first magnet and the second magnet have opposite polarities. 
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the first magnet is sized such that it comprises between about 5% and about 20% of an area defined by the bottom wall of the container.
