Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a content extractor that solves problems with previous designs. The content extractor has a retention member that fits into the inner surface of a container and a pull member that securely extends from the retention member. The pull member engages the retention member in slidable communication with the inner surface of the container. This design allows for easier and more secure extraction of content from containers."

Problems solved by technology

However, using such a tying mechanism can crease or kink the rolled item damaging it within the container.
When this occurs, extracting the rolled item from the container is difficult and damage to it often occurs in the process of extraction.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the various embodiments may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description and drawings provide examples for illustration, but are not intended in a limiting sense and are not intended to provide an exhaustive treatment of all possible implementations.

[0038]It should be noted that references to “an”, “one”, or “various” embodiments in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references contemplate more than one embodiment. Additionally, reference to “at least one” includes one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Such reference contemplates one, and only one. Such reference also contemplates more than one. When such reference is made, reference to “independently” contemplates any one or more ...

Abstract

The present structure provides a content extractor including a retention member sized to fit into an inner surface of a container and a pull member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the pull member having a pull tab, the distal end of the pull member configured to securely extend from the retention member in slidable communication with the inner surface of the container.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation-In-Part (CIP) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 077,538 filed on Mar. 11, 2005, which is incorporated by reference herein it its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This application relates generally to a content extractor, and more particularly to a content extractor for containers.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Conventional containers come in a variety of configurations (e.g., tubular) to protect the content housed inside the container. For example, flat paper products (e.g., posters, drawings, photographs, blueprints and the like) are typically rolled up and inserted into a tubular container which protects it from damage during shipping and handling.[0004]Rolling up flat paper products to a diameter smaller than the shipping container and then tying the rolled item (e.g. by a rubber band) can make it easier to extract the content from the container. However, using such a tying mechanism can crease or kink the rolle...
