DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) The present disclosure concerns a containment or container formed from two essentially semi-cylindrical halves joined together at a seam. In some aspects, both essentially semi-cylindrical halves may be constructed from a pulp material (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,090,372 and 10,035,621, incorporated by reference herein in their entireties). Such materials may include agricultural processing materials, such as forms of bamboo, banana leaves, palm leaf, paper, lignins, hay, grasses, cornstalks, hemp, sugarcane (bagasse), wheat straw, hay, pulp including recycled pulp, fiber materials, and/or the like. In some aspects the materials may include post-consumer waste, such as newsprint, packaging, other forms of paper products, etc. In some aspects, the materials may include composite materials, such as from landfill and/or municipal reclaim centers, including architectural wood, building materials, manufacturing byproducts, etc. One or more other pulp materials may be used, depending on the particular desired properties from the finished containment or container.

(7) In some aspects, the containment or container may further include one or more internal liners. Such may be introduced to increase water tightness or to establish a sealed internal space within the containment or container. Exemplary materials for such include biopolymers, lignin, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and its copolyesters, polyether block amides (e.g., PEBAX), nylons, polyurethanes, polyethylenes (e.g., high density polyethylenes (HDPE), ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylenes (UHWPE), low density polyethylenes (LDPE), or any combination thereof), biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalates (e.g., mylar), and other polymers and thermoplastic polymers, fabrics, silicones such as silicone rubber, latex, glass, or other materials now known or later developed. The internal liner may further include a thin deposit of hydrophobic, silicon dioxide and/or zinc oxide nanoparticles. In some aspects, a biopolymer may be applied directly to the interior surface of the assembled containment. In further aspects a deposit of nanoparticles may then be applied directly to the biopolymer. In some aspects, the biopolymer and nanoparticles are included in a combined layer that can be applied directly to an interior surface of the assembled containment. Similarly, some aspects may be configured with the biopolymer being dispersed in a solvent, the solvent including dichloromethane (DCM), dichlorodimethylsilane (DCMS), hydrofluoroether, or a mixture of two or more thereof. The biopolymer and the nanoparticles may be included a combined layer, such as a pre-layered film or a liquid mixture, and applied to assembled containment in a single application. A pre-layered film including the biopolymer and the nanoparticles may be applied to an interior surface of the assembled containment. A liquid mixture may include the nanomaterial mixed in liquid form with the biopolymer and applied to the interior of the assembled two essentially identical semi-cylindrical halves. The pre-layered film or liquid mixture may include a biopolymer, a solvent, and a nanomaterial as described herein. The biopolymer, solvent, and nanomaterials may be present in the pre-layered film or liquid mixture in varying concentrations to achieve the desired properties.

(8) In some aspects, the present disclosure concerns a containment or container formed by the union or piecing together of the essentially identical two semi-cylindrical halves. In some aspects, the semi-cylindrical halves or parts are of a curved body with two defined length edges that extend along the each exposed length of the semi-cylindrical body. As further set for therein, along the length edges of each essentially semi-cylindrical half are parts to connect the two halves and provide a seam. In some aspects the length edges include troughs and raised ridges, wherein a trough at one position along a length edge requires a proportional raised ridge at the same point on the opposing length edge. Along one edge length of each essentially identical semi-cylindrical half is a raised ridge portion or series of raised ridge portions and along the other edge length is a trough or series of troughs, wherein the length of each raised portion corresponds to the length of each trough on the opposing edge length and the height of each raised portion corresponds to the depth of each trough on the opposing length edge. Accordingly, by providing each essentially identical semi-cylindrical half with a length edge of raised ridge(s) and length edge of trough(s), the raised ridges can insert into the troughs on the opposing identical semi-cylindrical half to form the containment. In some aspects, each trough along the length edge is a relief or essentially a relief of each raised ridge at the same location along the opposing length edge.

(9) In some aspects, the raised ridges and troughs need not each be confined to separate length edges, but instead can alternate or adopt any preferred pattern, so long as the opposing piece is present at the corresponding point or position on the opposing length edge. In some aspects, the thickness of each essentially identical semi-cylindrical half is increased along the length edges to provide more material for where the two essentially identical semi-cylindrical halves join. In further aspects, as the trough-ridge junction becomes internal to the walls of the formed cylindrical containment, an adhesive or sealant may be included to strengthen the points of junction.

(10) In some aspects, the raised ridge portions need to provide a fit with the trough portions. In further aspects, the trough is a relief or essentially a relief of the shape of the raised ridge. In some aspects, the raised portions may be of the same or essentially the same height and length as that of the opposing depth and length in the trough portion. In other aspects, the raised ridge portion may be of the same or essentially the same width as the opposing trough. In other aspects, the width of the raised ridge portion may be slightly wider to provide for an outward force when placed in the trough. In other aspects, the raised ridge may be of a slightly less width and/or height and/or length than that of the width and/or depth and/or length of the opposing trough. In some aspects, the trough may provide a larger volume in relief of the raised ridge to be received such that when inserted in the trough to provide space for the inclusion of an adhesive or sealant.

(11) In some aspects of the present disclosure, each of the two essentially identical semi-cylindrical halves include at least one end piece at a proximal and/or distal end of each shape. For example, including a semi-circular end piece at an end distal from the top of the containment that is essentially perpendicular to the semi-cylinder walls and matching or essentially matching the radius of the assembled cylinders allows for the formation of a flat solid bottom or base to the containment when essentially identical the semi-cylindrical halves are joined. Similarly, including a half of a desired top shape, such as a taper or semi-conical part, at the end of each semi-cylindrical half cylinder desired to be the top of the containment allows for the formation of a desired lid or opening to the containment when the two essentially identical semi-cylindrical halves are joined.

(12) The two semi-cylindrical halves of the containment may be manufactured by methods known in the art, such as blow molding or injection molding. The two halves are essentially identical and can be pieced together to form an enclosed containment. In some aspects, the containment can be formed by aligning the first length edge of the first semi-cylindrical part with the second length edge of the second semi-cylindrical part and the second length edge of the first semi-cylindrical part with the first length edge of the second semi-cylindrical part and inserting the raised ridge on the first length edge into the trough on the second length edge to form the containment. It will be also appreciated that while the two halves are described herein as being essentially identical and being semi-cylindrical, the pieces need not be limited in shape or uniformity. It will be appreciated that the containment can be formed in any desired shape as long the two hales or parts to be joined have aligning length edges that allow for raised ridges to pair up with respective troughs on the opposing half or part to form the containment.

(13) With respect to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a side view of an assembled containment 1, with a seam 10, the exterior of which is visible thereby illustrating the union of two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B. Further depicted is a cap 30 for the assembled containment 1. The two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B may be constructed of an environmentally friendly, recyclable, degradable (such as biodegradable, compostable, solar degradable, polymer or non-polymer material, and/or other eco-friendly material) material. The two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B may be constructed of an organic or organic-based material. The two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B may be constructed of a pulp material. The two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B may be constructed of wood by-products (including paper), bamboo, hemp, bagasse, or a mixture of two or more thereof. The two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B may be formed to define the desired size and/or shape for the containment 1. The two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B may have a thickness to achieve the desired structural integrity, rigidity, thermal properties, and insulating properties for the particular application. Each of the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B further feature a flat bottom 60 and optional taper to receive a neck 50 inserted at the top of the assembled containment 1. As depicted in FIG. 1, the presence of a semi-circular shape at the distal ends of the semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B allows the flat bottom 60 to form.

(14) FIG. 2 shows a side view of one-half of the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A or 20B with the other detached and rotated about ninety degrees From FIG. 1, such that the interior of the seam 10 is visible. As depicted, the seam 10 comprises three raised ridge lengths 21A, 21B and 21C that mirror in length three trough lengths 22A, 22B, 22C on the opposing half. In some aspects, the shape of the trough lengths 22A, 22B, 22C are a relief or essentially a relief of the shape of the raised ridge lengths 21A, 21B, 21C. When combined with an opposing essentially identical semi-cylindrical half 20B or 20A, 21A and 22A along with 21B and 22B along with 21C and 22C fit together to form the seal of the seam 10 of the assembled containment 1. It will be understood in the art that the number of raised ridge and respective trough lengths can vary as long as each is similar in length. In some aspects, an adhesive or sealant may further be applied between the raised ridge and trough segments. As further depicted in FIG. 2, the raised ridge lengths 21C can extend of be incorporated into those parts of the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A or 20B that form the flat bottom 60. In some aspects, a raised ridge length 21C or a trough length 22C may extend along a portion of the diameter of the semi-circular shapes at the distal end or flat bottom 60 of the containment to provide for further points of connection and linkage between the two essentially identical semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B.

(15) At the top of the assembled containment 1 is an opening 40 to receive a neck 50 that is preformed to allow for a cap 30 to be placed on the assembled containment 1. Each of the two essentially identical semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B has a vertical rim 41 preformed thereon near the opening 40. The vertical rim 41 can engage with a corresponding indenture 34 around the circumference of the neck 50 in order to hold the neck in place once the two essentially identical semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B are brought together by the union of 21A and 22A along with 21B and 22B along with 21C and 22C to form the seam 10.

(16) Further depicted in FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of a cap 32 for the assembled containment 1. The cap 32 can be of a polymer material 31 and affixed by twisting the cap 32 down an angled thread on exterior of the neck 50 (thread not explicitly depicted in FIG. 2). In some embodiments, the cap 32 may be a cap 32 that pops off of a similar or identical pulp material with a lid liner 33 placed therein for an improved seal when closed. The lid liner 33 may comprise a flexible polymer film, such as a vacuum induced film.

(17) Those skilled in the art will appreciate that although not explicitly depicted in FIG. 2, other cap mechanisms can be included with the assembled containment 1, such as including a push and turn mechanism with the cap 32 to child-proof the contents of the assembled containment 1.

(18) Turning to FIG. 3, a cross section of both the raised ridge 25 and the trough 26 are depicted. The raised ridge 25 is slightly narrower in width and lower in height than the respective width and depth of the trough 26. Further, the width of the raised ridge 25 and the width of the trough 26 as they relate to the width of the wall of each of the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B are narrower, leaving planar sections length edges 27A, 27B, such that when the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B are united to form the seam 10, the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A 20B appear to be in planar contact and the union of the raised ridge 25 and the trough 26 are not observed externally.

(19) Turning to FIG. 4, seen is an aerial cross section of the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B in contact to form the seam 10 through the fitting of the raised ridge 25 from one of the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A into the trough 26 on the opposing essentially identical semi-cylindrical half 20B. FIG. 4 further illustrates that the wall thickness 28A of each of the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B is optionally wider at the seam 10 than the thickness 28B otherwise throughout. The optional increased thickness allows for the containment to be formed with excess materials but still retain sufficient contact area for the seam 10 to effectively hold the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B together.

(20) With respect to a cap 32 that pops off, this can be preformed or molded of a pulp material. As seen in FIG. 5, the cap 32 features an opening 37 to receive the neck 50 (not shown) and a closed end 35 to seal the containment. The wall 36 of the cap 32 may further feature variations in thickness as illustrated in FIG. 5. For example, toward the closed end 35, the wall 36 is narrowed to allow for a larger recess to receive the lid liner 33. The lid liner 33 can pass through the opening 37 which is narrower in diameter due to the lid liner 33 featuring notches 33A along a length to form a side wall 33B and a roof 33C. The side wall 33B can fold inward as the lid liner 33 moves from the opening 37, along the wall 36 and to the recess 35A at the closed end 35 of the cap 32. The side wall 33B can further expand in the recess 35A when the length of the notches 33A are equal to or shorter than the depth of the recess 35A at the closed end 35. The roof 33C is flush against the inside of the closed end 35. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that expansion of the side wall 33B in the recess 35A at the closed end 35 allows for retention of the lid liner 33 within the cap 32.

(21) As also depicted in FIG. 5, the wall 36 of the cap 32 can varying in thickness at the opening 37 to provide curves 36A as the wall 36 approaches the recess 35A toward the closed end 35. The curves are intended to allow the cap 32 to grip an exterior thread (not explicitly depicted in FIG. 5) of the neck 50.

(22) Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the lid liner 33 can be preinserted into the cap 32 or can be later forced into the recess 35A through the act of closing the containment.

(23) The containment may be assembled in the following manner: the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A, 20B can be preformed or molded and then positioned to receive an adhesive or sealant along the trough lengths 22A, 22B, 22C and/or along the apex of the raised ridge lengths 21A, 21B, 21C. Adhesive or sealant may be applied to the vertical rim 41 or within the indenture 34 of the neck 50. The neck can then be placed onto one half the two essentially semi-cylindrical halves 20A by engaging the vertical rim 41 with the indenture 34. The second essentially identical semi-cylindrical half 20B can then be attached by aligning the trough lengths 22A, 22B, 22C from 20A with the raised ridge lengths 21A, 21B, 21C on 20B and vice versa. The vertical rim 41 of 20B is also engaged with the indenture 34 of the neck 50 to complete the assembly.
