Benefits of technology

[0010]This invention generally relates to a shaped container, usually of a spiral design, that may be wrapped around part of the body, whether it be the arm, wrist, leg, or even spiraled about the head of the wearer, or even around the neck, and which may include a consumable item, whether it be a snack, liquid, or any other type of edible item. Or, as previously reviewed, it may include heating chemicals, that may be applied during cold, inclement weather, to aid in the warmth of the user, or it may include a coolant, or even a consumable slush ice, that may aid in maintaining the cooling of the wearer, as during hot weather conditions.

Problems solved by technology

Obviously, it can also be consumed.
Unfortunately, all widely popular containers in the form of common plastic snack containers, beverage bottles, lidded cups, canteens, etc., require either hand held conveyance or storage, or the use of other storage means, including items such as, container slings, straps, backpacks as noted, that may be worn on the body when the container is not in use.
These items singularly resolve the requirement for storing the container, when not in use, but does not provide for the application of said containers for non-manual application to the body, that can be used for carrying snacks, liquids, or the like, or even have environmental changing conditions, such as conveying a cooling liquid, or warming item, that may be worn by the user without manual participation, until such time as consumption is desired.

Embodiment Construction

[0047]In referring to the drawings, and in particular FIG. 1A, therein as shown a top plan view of the container of this invention, disclosing a central annular shaped reservoir segment 1, closed by a closure cap, that is molded seamlessly and integrally enlarging in diameter into the shape of a spiraling tube 2, that enlarges in its diametric extension, and further into a concentrically ramping, spiral continuation of the tube shape section 2, as noted, that results in the formation of an entire generally tubular hollow container. The entire container is made of a semi-rigid plastic material, generally tube shaped, to allow for its recurring usage, and with necessary inherent flexible property so as to allow for its reduction for packaging purposes, as when collapsed and restricted in its “un-sprung” state, but can be immediately returned to its use-ready expanded state, as can be noted in FIG. 1C, when removed from its packaging and ready for usage. The inherent shape-memory chara...

Abstract

A wearable snack and beverage storing and dispensing and body cooling and heating container, generally configured, in its preferred embodiment in a spiral design, formed tubing, having a central reservoir with spiral tubing integrally extending therefrom, having a filling area at one end, with a dispensing valve at its opposite end. The device is shaped and contains inherent memory to fit directly upon the head of the user. Alternative embodiments include a flapped and fingered wrap that fits upon the head, and other embodiments include spiral tubing that may fit upon the wrist, arm, leg, or other body parts. Various other novelty items and accessories may be applied to the reservoir and its tube shaped member.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This non-provisional patent application claims priority to the provisional patent application having Ser. No. 61 / 638,484, filed on Apr. 25, 2012.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a wearable item, generally of a spiral design, that may be applied to a body part, whether it be the head, arm, wrist, leg, and other parts, and contain either a snack, beverage, or even a warming agent or coolant that may be applied by the user for either dispensing of a consumable item, or to have an effect upon the temperature of the body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]This invention does relate generally to any effort that involves the use of a pliable plastic container that can be filled with small snack items or even a consumable beverage, and in which the container itself is so designed to be effectively worn either directly upon the head or wrist, or other body part, thereby allowing for hands-free storage of the container when not di...
