Abstract

A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure including a base component and a cap component configured to be removably coupled to the base component. The base component includes an outer shell having a base wall and a cylindrical sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, and an interior sleeve configured to be inserted within the outer shell. Further, the cap component includes an opening and a sliding tab configured to transition between a rearward position and a forward position to open and close the opening, respectively.

Claims (38)

1. A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure comprising:

a base component including a support ring disposed within a first cavity and defining a locking feature on an interior surface thereof; and

a cap component defining a second cavity and an open bottom that is defined by a lower annular wall, the lower annular wall being configured to interact with the locking feature to removably secure the cap component to the base component,

wherein the base component includes an outer shell having a base wall and a sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, and an interior sleeve that is disposed within the outer shell; and

wherein the cap component includes a gasket that is disposed within the second cavity, and a closure configured to transition between an open position and a closed position to open and close an opening within the cap.

2. The container enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the first cavity has a larger volume than the second cavity.

3. The container enclosure of claim 2 , wherein the container is configured to be inserted into the first cavity, and spans the first cavity and the second cavity when the cap is secured to the base component.

4. The container enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the support ring further includes a plurality of locking features that comprise a ramped surface, a notch, and an end wall.

5. The container enclosure of claim 4 , wherein the lower annular wall includes a plurality of tabs.

6. The container enclosure of claim 5 , wherein the tabs are configured to interact with the locking features to secure the cap component to the base component.

7. The container enclosure of claim 1 , wherein a top cap is seated on a spring that extends from a lower surface of the interior sleeve to engage a bottom of the container.

8. The container enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the base component includes a first gap between at least a portion of an exterior wall of the interior sleeve and an interior wall of the outer shell.

9. The container enclosure of claim 8 , wherein the base component includes a second gap between a lower surface of the interior sleeve and a lower surface of the outer shell.

10. The container enclosure of claim 9 , wherein the base component further includes a spring assembly connected to the lower surface of the interior sleeve.

11. The container enclosure of claim 10 , wherein the gasket is a disc-shaped gasket having a gasket ring seal, a first gasket mouth seal, and a second gasket mouth seal.

12. A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure comprising:

a base component and a cap component configured to be removably coupled to the base component,

wherein the base component includes an outer shell having a base wall and a sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, a support ring positioned within an interior cavity at an upper end of the base component, and an interior sleeve configured to be inserted within the outer shell;

wherein the base component includes a gap between an exterior wall of the interior sleeve and an interior wall of the outer shell,

wherein the cap component includes an opening and a closure configured to transition between an open position and a closed position to open and close the opening, respectively,

wherein a gasket is disposed within a cap cavity formed by the cap component, a spring assembly is disposed within the interior cavity, and a plurality of locking features are disposed on an interior surface of the support ring,

wherein the plurality of locking features are configured to removably secure the cap component to the base component, and

wherein the spring assembly is configured to press the container against the gasket inside the cap cavity when the cap component is secured to the base component and the container is disposed within the interior cavity.

13. The container enclosure of claim 12 , wherein the support ring further includes a plurality of locking features that comprise a ramped surface, a notch, and an end wall.

14. The container enclosure of claim 13 , wherein the cap component further includes a lower annular wall that comprises a plurality of tabs.

15. The container enclosure of claim 14 , wherein the tabs are configured to interact with the plurality of locking features to secure the cap component to the base component.

16. The container enclosure of claim 12 , wherein the gap is disposed between the exterior wall of the interior sleeve and the interior wall of a base sidewall of the outer shell.

17. The container of claim 12 , wherein the gap is disposed between the exterior wall of a lower surface of the interior sleeve and the interior wall of a lower surface of the outer shell.

18. The container enclosure of claim 17 , wherein the spring assembly is attached to the bottom surface of the interior sleeve.

19. The container enclosure of claim 12 , wherein an upper portion of the interior sleeve is coupled to the outer shell.

20. A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure comprising:

a base component including a support ring including a locking feature on an interior surface thereof; and

a cap component including a lower annular wall configured to interact with the locking feature to removably secure the cap component to the base component,

wherein the base component includes an outer shell having a base wall and a sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, an interior sleeve configured to be inserted within the outer shell;

wherein the base component includes a gap between an exterior wall of the interior sleeve and an interior wall of the outer shell,

wherein the cap component includes an open bottom defined by the lower annular wall, the lower annular wall being configured to fit within the interior sleeve, a cap cavity extending between a top surface and the open bottom, and an opening and a closure configured to transition between an open position and a closed position to open and close the opening, respectively,

wherein a gasket is coupled to the top surface within the cap cavity, the gasket having an aperture that is configured to be aligned with the opening of the cap component, and

wherein the container enclosure is configured to conceal the container.
