Configurable container and message device

Abstract

A configurable container and message device is provided which is easily disassembled and reassembled. The device may include one or more sets of sections, such as an alpha section and a beta section and/or a delta section and a gamma section which may be assembled to form a beverage container that is vertically divisible into the respective sections. An alpha section may have a generally semicylinder shaped alpha sidewall optionally coupled to an alpha base. The beta section may have a generally semicylinder shaped beta sidewall optionally coupled to a beta base. A first fastener may be disposed in the alpha section, and a second fastener may be disposed in the beta section. The alpha sidewall may be removably coupled to the beta sidewall and the alpha base may be removably coupled to the beta base by engaging the first fastener to the second fastener.

         8 . The device of  claim 6 , further comprising an insulating material. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 6 , further comprising a handle. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a. a delta section having a generally semicylinder shaped delta sidewall, the delta sidewall coupled to a delta base;   b. a gamma section having a generally semicylinder shaped gamma sidewall, the gamma sidewall coupled to a gamma base;   c. a first fastener disposed in the delta section; and   d. a second fastener disposed in the gamma section; wherein the delta sidewall is removably coupled to the gamma sidewall and the delta base is removably coupled to the gamma base by engaging the first fastener of the delta section to the second fastener of the gamma section.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 9 , further comprising a beverage container having a container cavity shaped to receive the alpha section and beta section when the first fastener of the alpha section is engaged to the second fastener of the beta section, and wherein the alpha section, beta section, and beverage container are receivable in the delta section and gamma section when the first fastener of the delta section is engaged to the second fastener of the gamma section. 
     
     
         12 . A configurable container and message device, the device comprising:
 a. an alpha section having a generally semicylinder shaped alpha sidewall, the alpha sidewall having lower threading;   b. a beta section having a generally semicylinder shaped beta sidewall, the beta sidewall having lower threading;   c. a first fastener disposed in the alpha section;   d. a second fastener disposed in the beta section; wherein the alpha sidewall is removably coupled to the beta sidewall by removably engaging the first fastener to the second fastener; and   e. a lower lid having threading for removably coupling the lower lid to the lower threading of the alpha section and to the lower threading of the beta section.   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the first fastener and second fastener are configured as slot and groove fasteners. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the first fastener and second fastener are configured as magnetic fasteners.
