Container with internally incorporated hook assembly

Abstract

A container with an internally incorporated hook assembly, having a container assembly with an upper sidewall, and an upper interior face having a hook. A scoop has a handle that is removably secured onto the hook. The scoop extends into a cavity defined within the container assembly. The scoop is secured to the upper interior face by the hook to prevent the scoop from falling within or sinking into a granulated or powdered product in the container assembly.

3. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 2, further characterized in that said hook is positioned onto said upper interior face, whereby said first end is fixed to said upper interior face relatively close to said neck.

4. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said handle hole defines an inverted drop shape.

5. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said handle hole is positioned closer to said first handle end than said second handle end.

6. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said scoop further comprises a scoop edge, a scoop bottom wall, and a scoop sidewall.

7. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 6, further characterized in that said first handle end is fixed to said scoop sidewall.

8. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 6, further characterized in that said scoop bottom wall is separated a second predetermined distance from a body interior face of said body sidewall.

9. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said container assembly houses a granulated or powdered product.

10. The container with an internally incorporated hook assembly set forth in claim 9, further characterized in that said scoop is secured to said upper interior face by said hook to prevent said scoop from falling within or sinking into said granulated or powdered product in said container assembly.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) With the above and other related objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

(2) FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the present invention with a cutout at an upper sidewall and a body sidewall.

(3) FIG. 2 is a cut view taken along the lines 2-2 as seen in FIG. 1.

(4) FIG. 3 is the cut view seen in FIG. 1 but with a cap secured onto the container assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(5) Referring now to the drawings, the present invention is a container with an internally incorporated hook assembly, and is generally referred to with numeral 10. It can be observed that it basically includes container assembly 20 and scoop 50.

(6) As seen in FIG. 1, container assembly 20 comprises top edge 22, body sidewall 24, bottom wall 26, and upper sidewall 28. Upper sidewall 28 has upper interior face 30. Upper interior face 30 has hook 38 fixed thereto. Container assembly 20 further comprises neck 36. Upper interior face 30 extends from top edge 22 to neck 36. Upper sidewall 28 comprises a first predetermined diameter, and body sidewall 24 comprises a second predetermined diameter, wherein the first predetermined diameter is smaller than the second predetermined diameter.

(7) Scoop 50 comprises handle 52 that is removably secured onto hook 38. Handle 52 comprises handle hole 54 to secure scoop 50 onto hook 38. In a preferred embodiment, handle hole 54 has an inverted drop shape.

(8) As seen in FIG. 2, hook 38 comprises first end 40 and second end 42, and defines an angle of approximately 90. Hook 38 is fixed onto upper interior face 30, whereby first end 40 is fixed to upper interior face 30 closer to neck 36 than top edge 22.

(9) Scoop 50 secured onto hook 38 extends into cavity 44 defined within container assembly 20. Handle 52 further comprises first handle end 64 and second handle end 56. Scoop 50 further comprises scoop edge 58, scoop bottom wall 60, and scoop sidewall 62. Second handle end 56 is fixed to scoop sidewall 62. Scoop bottom wall 60 is separated a predetermined distance from body interior face 46. In a preferred embodiment, scoop 50 has a predetermined length that is shorter than the first predetermined diameter of upper sidewall 28.

(10) As seen in FIG. 3, container assembly 20 further comprises cap 48 having cap interior face 49 that secures onto upper sidewall 28, whereby in a preferred embodiment, cap interior face 49 contacts top edge 22. In a preferred embodiment, upper sidewall 28 comprises external threads 34 and cap 48 comprises internal threads, whereby the internal threads screw onto external threads 34 when cap 48 is tightened onto upper sidewall 28.

(11) Handle hole 54 is positioned closer to first handle end 64 than second handle end 56. Second end 42 is aligned or separated a first predetermined distance from top edge 22, and handle hole 54 is positioned separated a second predetermined distance from first handle end 64, whereby the first predetermined distance is smaller than the second predetermined distance, to trap scoop 50 onto hook 38 when cap 48 is tightened onto upper sidewall 28. In addition, handle 52 has a predetermined width and thickness, whereby the predetermined width and thickness are relatively larger than the first predetermined distance to trap scoop 50 onto hook 38 when cap 48 is tightened onto upper sidewall 28.

(12) Container assembly 20 houses a solid, granulated, and/or powdered product P. As an example, solid, granulated, and/or powdered product P is any powder such as a protein or whey protein power, food, vitamin, supplement, and/or medicine. Scoop 50 is secured onto upper interior face 30 by hook 38 to prevent scoop 50 from falling within or sinking into the solid, granulated, and/or powdered product P in container assembly 20.

(13) The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
