Claim Text:
1. A container apparatus, comprising: a base section defining a base periphery and including: a cover section defining a cover periphery and hingedly connected to a first edge of the base periphery for rotating between an open position and a closed position; and an intermediate section defining an intermediate periphery and hingedly connected to a second edge of the base periphery for rotating between an open position and a closed position, and including: wherein: respective portions of the base periphery, intermediate periphery and cover periphery align when the intermediate section and the cover section are in the closed position to form one or more exterior vents that fluidly couple the container receiving cavities to an atmosphere exterior to the container apparatus; when the cover section is pivoted in the closed position a cover enclosure is formed between the intermediate section and the cover section and the respective base periphery, intermediate periphery and cover periphery, and the one or more interior vents fluidly couple the container receiving cavities with the cover enclosure so that a venting of a gas agent emanating from within the cover enclosure to the atmosphere exterior to the container apparatus vents from the cover enclosure to the container receiving cavities through the one or more interior vents, and vents from the container receiving cavities to the atmosphere through the one or more exterior vents; and wherein the one or more exterior vents are sized so that passive venting to the atmosphere of the gas agent entering the container receiving cavities from the cover enclosure through the one or more interior vents is constrained so that at least a minimum concentration of the gas agent is maintained in the container receiving cavities for an amount of time that ensure efficacy of a gas agent reaction occurring within the container receiving cavities.
