Portable magnetic storage device and a method of storing material
View Patent ↗A method of storing material includes placing material in a storage container and removably positioning a magnetic device in a cap. The magnetic device includes a gasket including a magnet. Moreover, the method includes removably fastening the cap to the storage container to form a storage device and magnetically attaching the cap to a metal surface.
1. A portable magnetic storage device comprising:
a cap having a top and an opening positioned in the top;
a gasket removably positioned in the cap to fit snugly in the opening, said gasket including a magnet encapsulated in a circular housing and a flange extending radially from the housing, the flange comprising a terminus, and a lip extending perpendicularly from the terminus; and
a container, said cap being removably fastened to said container to form said portable magnetic storage device.
2. A portable magnetic storage device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising an object or liquid placed in said magnetic storage device.
3. A portable magnetic storage device in accordance with claim 1 , said gasket being made of a flexible inert material.
4. A portable magnetic storage device in accordance with claim 3 , the flexible inert material being one of rubber and plastic.
5. A portable magnetic storage device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said cap includes a top inner surface and an inner threaded surface, the flange includes a first surface positioned against the top inner surface, and the lip is positioned against the inner threaded surface.
6. A portable magnetic storage device comprising:
a cap having a least one surface;
a gasket removably positioned in the cap, said gasket including a magnet encapsulated in a circular housing and a flange extending radially from the housing, the flange comprising a terminus, and a lip extending perpendicularly from the terminus; and
a container, said cap being removably fastened to said container to form said portable magnetic storage device.
7. A portable magnetic storage device in accordance with claim 6 , said gasket being readily interchangeable in said cap according to the contents of said container.
8. A portable magnetic storage device in accordance with claim 6 , said cap further comprising an opening in one of the at least one surfaces.
9. A portable magnetic storage device in accordance with claim 6 , wherein said cap includes a top inner surface and an inner threaded surface, the flange includes a first surface positioned against the top inner surface, and the lip is positioned against the inner threaded surface.
