Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising; an inner container whose walls contain openings suitable for draining liquids and a protrusion for mating with an outer container; a portable outer container with solid walls and a drain opening suitable to mate with said inner container protrusion and that is sealed by the interaction of the containers; said inner container and outer container being sized and configured so that the inner container can nestle substantially inside the outer container; said protrusion extending from said inner container being equipped with a thread that mates with the respective thread in the outer container drain opening so that when fully rotated onto one another, the threads on said protrusion having slots cut out to provide axial drain passage, the co-action with said drain opening seals the drain and provides for a leak-proof combination container in one position, and when not fully rotated there exist a variable spacing between the inner container and the outer container and a variable drain passage between said protrusion and the opening of the outer container.
