Abstract

The present invention provides a hollow hand-held storage device for storing items, comprising a hollow body formed by wrapping a sheet to form a cylindrical body having a chamber, a first end being an opening located at one end of the hollow body and communicating with the chamber, and a second end being a closed end located at the other end of the hollow body. The sheet has different thicknesses which cause different degrees of concavity or deformation on the two side surfaces of the hollow body when subjected to a gripping force. When a user grips the hollow body with one hand, the user can naturally squeeze the hollow body from its bottom to its top by feeling the different degrees of concavity or deformation through a thumb and index finger, thereby squeezing out the item and exposing the item at the first end.

Claims (14)

1 . A hollow hand-held storage device for storing items, comprising at least:

a hollow body formed by fusion bonding of plastic pellets to form a cylindrical body having a chamber, wherein a cross-section of a central portion of the hollow body is defined as a central plane;

a first end being an opening located at one end of the hollow body and communicating with the chamber; and

a second end being a closed end located at the other end of the hollow body;

wherein a portion of the hollow body between the first end and the central plane is defined as an upper body, a portion of the hollow body between the second end and the central plane is defined as a lower body, and the cylindrical body has different thicknesses, being selected from a group consisting of the thickness of the cylindrical body in the upper body being greater than the thickness in the lower body, and the corresponding two side surfaces of the cylindrical body in the lower body having different thicknesses, so that when the central portion or the lower body of the hollow body receives a gripping force, a deformation of the hollow body is selected from a group consisting of the deformation of the lower body being greater than the deformation of the upper body, and the two side surfaces of the lower body having different deformations.

2 . The storage device according to claim 1 , further comprising an outer layer, the outer layer being a sheet body, and being attached to an outer wall surface of the hollow body by a central portion of the outer layer corresponding to the second end of the hollow body.

3 . The storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the first end toward the second end.

4 . The storage device according to claim 2 , wherein a cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the first end toward the second end.

5 . The storage device according to claim 1 , further comprising a lid, the lid being formed by an aluminum foil coated with a PE film layer and heat-sealed to the first end.

6 . The storage device according to claim 2 , further comprising a lid, the lid being formed by an aluminum foil coated with a PE film layer and heat-sealed to the first end.

7 . The storage device according to claim 5 , wherein the first end extends outwardly in transverse direction to form an annular rim with an appropriate width around its periphery.

8 . The storage device according to claim 6 , wherein the first end extends outwardly in transverse direction to form an annular rim with an appropriate width around its periphery.

9 . The storage device according to claim 7 , wherein a central portion of the annular rim has an annular protrusion.

10 . The storage device according to claim 8 , wherein a central portion of the annular rim has an annular protrusion.
