String light storage container

Abstract

A string light storage container. The string light storage container includes a base. The base defines a cylinder rising upward therefrom. The cylinder is centrally disposed in the base. The cylinder is shaped to receive string lights therearound. A cover is removably securable to the base via a fastener, such that an interior cavity is formed around the cylinder when the cover is engaged with the base.

We claim: 
     
         1 ) A string light storage container, comprising:
 a base defining a planar surface;   a cylinder extending upwardly from the base; and   a cover removably secured to the base via a fastener such that an interior cavity is defined around the cylinder when the cover is engaged with the base.   
     
     
         2 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the base defines a circular planar surface. 
     
     
         3 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the cover and the base are of an identical diameter. 
     
     
         4 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the base defines an outer threading configured to correspond to an inner threading defined by the cover. 
     
     
         5 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein a handle is disposed on an external surface of the cover. 
     
     
         6 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein an indent in the cover extends downward toward the cylinder. 
     
     
         7 ) The string light storage container of  claim 6 , wherein the indent is in contact with the cylinder when the cover is engaged with the lid. 
     
     
         8 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the cover defines a flat surface, such that a second base of a second string light storage container can be stacked upon the cover. 
     
     
         9 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the base defines an interface on a lower surface thereof, wherein the interface is configured to rest upon the top surface of the cover. 
     
     
         10 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein a distal end of the cylinder is beveled. 
     
     
         11 ) The string light storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the cylinder is rounded. 
     
     
         12 ) A string light storage container, comprising:
 a base defining a planar surface;   a cylinder extending upward from the base;   a cover removably secured to the base such that an interior cavity is defined around the cylinder when the cover is engaged with the base;   wherein the cover forms a seal against the base when in a closed configuration.   
     
     
         13 ) A string light storage container, comprising:
 a base having a top surface opposite a bottom surface;   a cylinder extending upward from the top surface of the base;   the cylinder having a proximal end attached at the base and a distal end opposite of the proximal end;   the distal end of the cylinder being rounded;   a cover removably securable around the step of the base;   the step configured to receive the cover therearound, such that a seal is formed between the step and the cover;   the cover comprising an indent;   the indent sized to contact the cylinder when the cover is engaged with the base;   the indent comprising a handle therein.
