  • FIG. 2 is side perspective view of the compartmented smokeless tobacco can.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the compartment smokeless tobacco can.
  • Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • FIG. 1 depicts a compartment smokeless tobacco can 10 according to certain preferred embodiments of the present invention. The compartmented smokeless tobacco can 10 is a device for separately containing a plurality of types of smokeless tobacco in a single container. The tobacco can 10 comprises a main container portion 12 having closed bottom portion 14 and an open top portion 16. The open top portion 16 provides access to the hollow interior of the main container portion 12. According to certain preferred embodiments of the present invention the top portion 16 and the bottom portion 14 are generally cylindrical in shape having a center axis. The entire tobacco can 10 comprises typical dimensions for smokeless tobacco cans, which allow a person to carry the tobacco can 10 in that person's pocket.
  • The tobacco can 10 further comprises a cover 18 disposed on top of the top portion 16 of the main container portion 12 to close the open top portion 16. The cover 18 comprises a first lid 20 and a second lid 22. A center hinge member 24 is disposed along the center of the cover 18, separating the first lid 20 and the second lid 22. The center hinge member 24 is aligned along the center axis of the top portion 16.
  • FIG. 2 is a side perspective view of the tobacco can 10 depicting the interior of the main container portion 12. The main container portion 12 is divided into two separate portions by a center divider 30, defined by the hidden lines shown in FIG. 2. The center divider 30 is a generally rectangular wall disposed inside of the main container portion 12. The center divider 30 is disposed along the center axis of the top portion 16 and the bottom portion 14 of the main container portion and is aligned along the center hinge portion 24 of the cover 18. The center divider 30 divides the interior of the main container portion 12 in a first interior portion 26 and a second interior portion 28. The first container portion 26 contains a first type of tobacco 32 a. The second container portion 28 contains a second type of tobacco 32 b.
  • The center hinge portion 24 allows the first lid 20 and the second lid 22 to move from a closed position to an open position, as shown in FIG. 3. The first lid 20 and the second lid 22 may be opened simultaneously or they may each be opened individually. The first lid 20 may be lifted upward and pivoted about the hinge portion 24 to provide a first opening 34. The first opening 34 provides access to the contents of the first interior container portion 26. The second lid 22 may be lifted upward and pivoted about the hinge portion 24 to provide a second opening 36. The second opening 36 provides access to the contents of the second interior container portion 28.
  • The entire smokeless tobacco can 10 comprises a single unitary piece. The cover 18 is integrally formed to the main container body 12. The entire smokeless tobacco can 10 is preferably made from a durable plastic material. The center hinge portion 24 is preferably made from a plastic material that is more pliable, in comparison to the plastic material of the main container portion 12 and the cover 18, to allow the first lid 20 and the second lid 24 to pivot from the closed position to the open position.
  • According to certain preferred embodiments of the present invention the main container portion 12 is divided into more than two separate interior portions to hold more than two types of tobacco.
  • It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
