Travel container

Abstract

A travel container for storing liquids and ideally sized for convenient transport and storage is provided and comprises a first end having an opening that is configured to receive a cap that is releasably secured to the first end of the container to hold the liquid inside the container when the cap is in a closed position and to allow for liquid to be dispensed from the container when the cap is deployed in an open position; a body that is constructed of a flexible material that allows the container to be reshaped into a folded or rolled up state; a second end featuring a heavy duty zip lock that allows for opening and closing the container for ease of refilling the container with liquid to be dispensed; and a small tab attached to the container at its second end that allows the container to be hung in place. Optionally, a waterproof pocket is provided on the side of the container in which a label may be inserted to identify the contents of the container.

Problems solved by technology

Transporting liquids, such as shampoo, lotion, mouthwash and the like presents challenges for travelers because it is not easy to pack and store travel containers for these personal necessities.

Transporting liquids is particularly problematic for airplane travelers due to Transport Security Administration (“TSA”) rules which limit the volume of liquids allowed in travel containers.

The conventional travel bottles that comply with the applicable TSA rules are limited in that they are typically very difficult to refill.

Many travel containers do not allow users ease of identifying the liquid stored in each container.

Moreover, most travel containers are not optimally suited to dispense different liquids of varying degrees of viscosity.

Travel containers are also often difficult to store compactly during travel due to their shape and size.

Once the traveler arrives at their travel destination, it is often difficult to find space to set up the various containers for convenient access when the traveler needs to use them.
