Multi-compartment container

Abstract

A multi-compartment container system is disclosed herein. The container system may include a body, a top cap, and a bottom cap. The body may include openings on a top end and bottom end. The body may also include two interior chambers separated by a divider. The top cap may be removably attached to the body and can cover the top opening. The bottom cap may be removably attached the bottom end of the body and can cover the bottom opening. The container system may also include locking mechanisms that can lock the top and bottom caps to the body.

   a top cap removably attached to the top end of the body;   a bottom cap removably attached to the bottom end of the body;   a top cap locking mechanism configured to secure the top cap to the body; and   a bottom cap locking mechanism configured to secure the bottom cap to the body.   
     
     
         2 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the top cap locking mechanism comprises a ridge of the body that is configured to align with corresponding protrusions of the top cap. 
     
     
         3 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom cap locking mechanism comprises a ridge of the bottom cap that is configured to align with corresponding protrusions of the body. 
     
     
         4 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the top cap comprises a circular sidewall and the top cap locking mechanism comprises a plurality of protrusions disposed on an inner face of the circular sidewall and a ridge with gaps disposed on an outer surface of the top end of the body, and wherein the gaps in the ridge are sized and shaped to receive the plurality of protrusions and allow the plurality of protrusions to pass through the ridge. 
     
     
         5 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom cap comprises a circular sidewall and the bottom cap locking mechanism comprises a ridge with gaps disposed on an outer surface of the circular sidewall and a plurality of protrusions disposed on an inner surface of the body, and wherein the gaps in the ridge are sized and shaped to receive the plurality of protrusions and allow the plurality of protrusions to pass through the ridge. 
     
     
         6 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the body has a cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         7 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the body, the top cap, and the bottom cap each comprise an alignment indicator. 
     
     
         8 . The container system of  claim 7 , wherein the alignment indicators comprise an arrow disposed on an outer surface of the top cap, an arrow disposed on an outer surface of the bottom cap, and a linear indicator disposed on an outer surface of the body. 
     
     
         9 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the body, top cap, and bottom cap each comprise a knurled portion or one or more grip enhancing textures to facilitate grasping. 
     
     
         10 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein the body, the top cap, and the bottom cap are formed of a rigid plastic material. 
     
     
         11 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein a height of the divider wall is such that a volume of the first interior chamber is more than twice a volume of the second interior chamber. 
     
     
         12 . The container system of  claim 1 , wherein a height of the divider wall is such that a volume of the first interior chamber is more than four times a volume of the second interior chamber. 
     
     
         13 . A container system comprising:
 a hollow body comprising:
 a first end; 
 a second end; and 
 an internal divider separating an interior of the body into two compartments; 
   wherein the first end comprises a ridge and the second end comprises a plurality of protrusions;   a top cap configured to attach to the first end of the hollow body, the top cap comprising a plurality of protrusions configured to align with the ridge of the hollow body when rotated; and   a bottom cap configured to attach to the second end of the hollow body, the bottom cap comprising a ridge configured to align with the plurality of protrusions of the hollow body when rotated.   
     
     
         14 . The container system of  claim 13 , wherein the hollow body has a cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         15 . The container system of  claim 13 , wherein the hollow body, the top cap, and the bottom cap each comprise an alignment indicator. 
     
     
         16 . The container system of  claim 15 , wherein the alignment indicators comprise an arrow disposed on an outer surface of the top cap, an arrow disposed on an outer surface of the bottom cap, and a linear indicator disposed on an outer surface of the hollow body. 
     
     
         17 . The container system of  claim 13 , wherein the body, top cap, and bottom cap each comprise a knurled portion or one or more grip enhancing textures to facilitate grasping. 
     
     
         18 . The container system of  claim 13 , wherein the body, the top cap, and the bottom cap are formed of a rigid plastic material. 
     
     
         19 . The container system of  claim 13 , wherein a height of the internal divider is such that a volume of one of the two compartments is more than twice a volume of the other compartment.
