Abstract

A core provides a form for rolling an accessory around it. The accessory wrapped around the core may include a mat. The core includes a bottle and a container, utilizing what would otherwise be a void at the center of a rolled up mat for storage. The bottle and container may have twist-off lids which form resealable closures. The bottle and container may also couple with one another via opposing reverse threads at the bottom of each of the bottle and container. The twist-off lids may also include connection points for a carry-strap, the carry-strap including a buckle for adjusting the length of the carry-strap to make it a yoga stretching-strap. The mat includes elastic bands through grommets at an end of the mat. The bands are tensioned to secure the core when it is rolled inside the mat via the bands being wrapped around the rolled-up mat and core.

Claims (73)

1 . A device, comprising:

a bottle, the bottle including at least a threaded neck;

a bottle lid, the bottle lid configured for threadably coupling with the threaded neck of the bottle, the bottle lid including at least a bottle connection point; and

a container section, the container section including at least a reverse-threaded portion of the container section configured for cylindrically coupling with at least another portion of the device.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the container section comprises:

a container lid;

a container, the container including at least a portion of the container configured for threadably receiving the container lid; and

a coupling end, the coupling end disposed opposite the at least a portion of the container configured for threadably receiving the container lid, the coupling end including at least the reverse-threaded portion of the container section.

3 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the container lid comprises:

a container connection point; and

a flat face, the flat face enabling the device to rest on a level surface.

4 . The device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a connector.

5 . The device of claim 4 , wherein the bottle comprises:

the bottle configured for coupling with the connector, the connector including at least a reverse-threaded portion configured for cylindrically coupling with the container.

6 . The device of claim 4 , wherein the bottle comprises:

a connector end, the connector end disposed opposite the threaded neck, the connector end including at least an interior reverse-threaded portion configured for cylindrically coupling with the container.

7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the bottle, the bottle lid, and the container section comprise:

the bottle and the bottle lid threaded for opening the bottle by turning the bottle lid to the right and closing the bottle by turning the bottle lid to the left; and

the bottle and the container section reverse threaded for coupling the bottle and the container section by turning the bottle to the left relative to the container and separating the bottle and the container section by turning the bottle to the right relative to the container.

8 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the bottle connection point comprises:

a bottle post, the bottle post mounted within an interior section of the bottle lid.

9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the container connection point comprises:

a container post, the container post mounted within an interior section of the container lid.

10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the bottle lid and the container lid comprise:

the bottle lid and the container lid wherein threaded portions of the bottle lid and container lid are configured to dispose the bottle post and the container post in a substantially parallel orientation when the bottle lid and the container lid are threaded onto the bottle and container.

11 . The device of claim 9 , further comprising:

a strap, the strap including at least a first end configured for coupling with the bottle post, the strap including at least a second end configured for coupling with the container post.

12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the strap comprises:

the strap which, when coupled with the container post, enables the flat face to rest on a flat surface at least partially via the container post mounted within the interior section of the container lid to accommodate a profile of the coupling of the strap within the interior section.

13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the strap comprises:

one or more carabiners, snap-rings, or clips configured for coupling with at least one of the bottle post or the container post.

14 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the device comprises:

the bottle, the bottle lid, and the container section including at least a substantially cylindrical profile when coupled, the substantially cylindrical profile enabling one or more items to be wrapped cylindrically around the device.

15 . The device of claim 14 , further comprising:

the bottle connection point and the container connection point remaining exposed upon one or more items being wrapped cylindrically around the device, and

a strap, the strap including at least a first end configured for coupling with the bottle connection point, the strap including at least a second end configured for coupling with the container connection point.

16 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the container comprises:

the container including at least an interior portion of the container configured for threadably receiving an exterior threaded portion of the container lid.

17 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the bottle comprises:

a sleeve, the sleeve enclosing at least a portion of a length of the bottle between the threaded neck and a portion of the bottle configured for coupling with the container section.

18 . The device of claim 7 , wherein the sleeve comprises:

the sleeve including at least a plurality of sights along the at least a portion of the length of the bottle.

19 . A cylindrical storage system, comprising:

a bottle lid, the bottle lid having a first diameter, the bottle lid including at least:

an interior threaded portion;

a top face, the top face being substantially flat;

a bottle lid cutout of at least a portion of the top face and a side portion of the bottle lid; and

a bottle post, the bottle post being externally-accessible and transversely mounted entirely within a perimeter of the bottle lid via the bottle lid cutout;

a bottle, the bottle having the first diameter, the bottle including at least:

a mouth at one end of the bottle;

a threaded neck disposed adjacent to the mouth, the threaded neck threaded for threadably receiving the interior threaded portion of the bottle lid;

a distal end disposed opposite to the mouth; and

a sleeve portion disposed adjacent to the distal end, the sleeve portion having a second diameter, the second diameter smaller than the first diameter, wherein the sleeve portion has a length from a top of the distal end to a ridge below the threaded neck;

a sleeve, the sleeve having a substantially equal length as the sleeve portion of the bottle, the sleeve including an outer diameter substantially equal to the first diameter and an inner diameter substantially equal to the second diameter, the sleeve including at least a plurality of sights along at least a portion of the length of the sleeve portion, wherein the bottle is inserted into the sleeve exposing at least a portion of the distal end of the bottle;

a connector, the connector including at least a portion for removably coupling with the distal end, the connector including at least a reverse-threaded cavity disposed opposite the portion for removably coupling with the distal end of the bottle;

a container, the container having the first diameter, the container including at least:

a reverse-threaded neck;

a container opening disposed opposite to the reverse-threaded neck; and

an interior threaded portion disposed adjacent to the container opening,

wherein the reverse-threaded neck of the container is reverse-threadably receivable by the reverse-threaded cavity of the connector; and

a container lid, the container lid having the first diameter, the container lid including at least:

an exterior threaded portion threaded to be threadably received by the interior threaded portion of the container;

a bottom face, the bottom face being substantially flat;

a container lid cutout of at least a portion of the bottom face and a side portion of the container lid; and

a container post, the container post being externally-accessible and transversely mounted entirely within a perimeter of the container lid via the container lid cutout,

wherein the cylindrical storage system has a substantially cylindrical profile upon the bottle lid being threadably coupled with the bottle, the bottle being coupled with the connector, the connector being reverse-threadably coupled with the container, and the container lid being threadably coupled with the container.
