Benefits of technology

[0008]The aforementioned drawbacks and disadvantages of the prior art containers have been identified and a solution is set forth herein by an inventive dual sided container and method which comprises a container having two compartments and openings at opposing ends. The dual sided container is useful in holding a wide variety of materials ranging from foods and beverages to medicines and chemicals. The container is useful for holding both consumer and industrial materials. In a preferred embodiment, the container has a support surface on each of the opposing ends such that the contain can sit on either end. One embodiment includes an internal divider for providing a barrier between the two materials in the container. The container may have two compartments of equal volume or of unequal volumes. In some preferred embodiments the container is separable i

Abstract

A container has openings at each end and has two compartments for holding two complementary materials. The container stands on either end and can dispense one of the two materials from each end. In one embodiment the container is separable into two individual containers. The individual containers are attached together using various means such as shrink wrap material, perforated strips, interlocking sections and the like.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates primarily to containers. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus for holding two types of materials in a convenient, portable, cost effective, attractive and space saving manner.[0002]For thousands of years mankind has continually developed better ways to carry and store materials of many types. Technology has advanced from animal skins and clay urns to modern day molded plastic containers. The variety of materials requiring containers is nearly limitless and ranges from materials such as liquids, solids, foods, and drinks to medicines, detergents, makeup, chemicals, adhesives, poisons and the like. More recently, the advance of technology and the rise in the number and variety of consumer and industrial goods has produced an explosion in the need for improved containers that have better functionality and mass appeal to consumers. Consumers place a high priority on packaging that is new, innovati...
