It should be understood, however, that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure.

[0022] The terms comprises, comprising, or any other variations thereof used in the disclosure, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a device, system, assembly that comprises a list of components does not include only those components but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such system, or assembly, or device. In other words, one or more elements in a system or device proceeded by comprises . . . a does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the system or device.

[0023] An embodiment of the present invention relates to the container for storing organic beauty products which separate overtime and should be stirred prior to each use.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1 illustrating schematic view of jar or storage container with lid, in accordance with an embodiment of the present subject matter. The container i.e. Stoneware jar or beauty jar, with an integrated manual stirring device 100 comprising a cork lid 101 having an outer surface and an inner surface; a stirring stick 102 and a groove 103 which is adapted in base of the stirring stick 102.

[0025] Accordingly, the cork lid 101 narrows out to the stirring stick 102 inside the jar 105 when the cork lid 101 is clamped on to the jar 105 using clamps 104 without extending outside the cork lid 101 such that the lid 101 can be sit on the jar top rim and be securely fastened using the clamps 104 which will come up from a metal ring 106 around the neck of the jar providing an airtight seal to preserve contents where the contents flow down the stirring stick 102 and settle while the jar 105 is open and the lid 101 is upside down.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2 illustrating schematic view of lid open position in jar or storage container, in accordance with an embodiment of the present subject matter. The cork lid 101 is matched with the jar or storage container 105 shown in FIG. 1. The cork lid 101 consists of the following components: an outer surface and an inner surface, a central stirring stick 102 with a screw pattern etched into the lower half, one or more flexible stirring. The stirring stick 102 and the lid 101 can be made of metal, plastic, or other materials that are known in the art.

[0027] Accordingly, the cork lid 101 has provided with airtight seal which includes metal ring 106 that is placed around the neck of the jar 105; and a clamping collar by clamping the cork lid 101 and the groove 103 is adapted on base of the stirring stick 102 which is detachably attached to the lid 101 of the jar 105.

[0028] In such view of the cork lid 101 is provided with extended stirrer that is 100% cork will rest on top of the jar rim. The base of the lid 101 is flat with the groove 103 where the stirring stick 102 begins to extend from the lid 101 so that after stirring, contents can run down the stirring stick 102 and settle in the groove 103 when the lid 101 is upside down. The flat base of the lid 101 which sits on the jar rim allows the stirring stick 102 to reach to the bottom of the jar 105 so all contents can be reached and stirred. When not in use, the lid 101 stirrer is securely fastened with the clamps 104 which results in an airtight seal closing arrangement. The clamps 104 are constructed with metal or other suitable materials.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3 illustrating schematic view of stirring stick inside the jar or storage container, in accordance with an embodiment of the present subject matter. Top of stirring stick 102 is rigidly attached to the bottom centre of the inside lid 101 for flexible manual stirring the contents in the jar or storage container 105 after unscrewing the lid 101. This jar or storage container 105 with integrated stirring device 100 is not limited to these embodiments but also includes other embodiments where the surface area of the stirring stick 102 is increased in order to create more back-pressure from the fluid or semi-fluid contained in the storage container 105, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0030] Further, these components are limited with height and width as follow: the height of the jar or storage container 105 with the lid 101 is at 4.5 inches, and without the lid 101 is at 4 inches. The width of jar 105 is at 4.5 inches. The width neck portion of jar 105 is at 3.5 inches, and the width of jar 105 top portion is at 4 inches. The length of stirring stick 102 is at 3.75 inches, the width of stirring stick 102 is at 0.50 inches, and width midline of stirring stick 102 is at 3.25 inches.

[0031] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention provides a lid base that closes into the jar which results in a slight gap between an end of the stirring stick and the bottom of the jar when the lid is open and stirring contents. Further, the present invention provides 100% cork lid/stirrer which will push down into the jar resulting in an airtight close.

[0032] In addition, the present invention is not limited to the cork lid as well as bamboo lid/stirrer with silicone ring around the middle of the lid will push down into the jar resulting in an airtight close, also metal clamps will extend from a metal ring (106) around the neck of the jar when clamped and rest on the ring (106) when unclamped, and the bamboo lid/stirrer with and/or without the silicone ring will screw into the jar threads to provide the airtight close.

[0033] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as open terms (e.g., the term including should be interpreted as including but not limited to, the term having should be interpreted as having at least, the term includes should be interpreted as includes but is not limited to, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases at least one and one or more to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles a or an limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases one or more or at least one and indefinite articles such as a or an (e.g., a and/or an should typically be interpreted to mean at least one or one or more); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of two recitations, without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to at least one of A, B, and C, etc. is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., a system having at least one of A, B, and C would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances, where a convention analogous to at least one of A, B, or C, etc. is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., a system having at least one of A, B, or C would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase A or B will be understood to include the possibilities of A or B or A and B.
