Problems solved by technology

When washing such a device, the deep mug-like container is difficult to wash.
Other two or multiple-part containers have similar drawbacks, even with those having a deep container (that is, a container substantially longer than the openings at the ends thereof) with two open ends.
Scrubbing each illustrated component clean with such devices is difficult due to the depth of the main container portion and the relatively small diameter of the open ends thereof.
Such a device also includes a relatively deep mug portion that is somewhat difficult to clean, even with both ends open.
Further, such a device has many parts that make it difficult to adapt from one configuration to another since the pieces required to make such a configuration change may not be readily at hand or even lost.

Abstract

A container is disclosed comprising a lower container that is open at a top end thereof, the top end terminating with a first attachment means. An upper container is open at a bottom end thereof and at a top end thereof. The bottom end of the upper container terminates with a second attachment means that is adapted to cooperate with the first attachment means of the lower container. The top end of the upper container terminates with a third attachment means. A closure is adapted to selectively seal the open top end of the upper container, the closure means further including a fourth attachment means adapted to cooperate with the third attachment means of the top end of the upper container. In use, the upper and lower containers may be selectively mutually attached to form the container. The upper and lower containers may be mutually detached at the first and second attachment means to facilitate washing thereof.
