     BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
       [0002]    1. Field of the Present Invention 
         [0003]    This invention generally relates to leak proof plastic containers or bottles; which are used to dispense healthcare lotions and creams. In particular, containers or bottles, which are capable of being separated into two individual sections. 
         [0004]    2. Background 
         [0005]    Plastic containers come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Containers of this type are usually made of such plastics as PET (Polyethylene Terphthalate), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), or HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) and manufactured using blow or injection molding techniques. Lotions, creams, and body soap dispenser containers are generally molded with a neck at the top of a container; which receives a finger actuated pump assembly, to dispense liquid contents. Most lotion containers have a single unit for storing liquids and are disposable once pump assembly is no longer capable of dispensing its contents. 
         [0006]    One problem with the existing containers is that they allow a portion of the liquids to remain in the containers after their primary means of dispensing is exhausted; therefore, a large amount of the product is eventually thrown away. Manufacturers have designed other containers, (i.e. squeeze tubes and inverted tubes) in an effort to make consumers think that these products allow them to use all the liquids within its container. However, in most cases, liquids remain within these containers regardless of consumer efforts at retrieving them. 
         [0007]    The present container has an upper section and a lower section (base) assembled together by means of a tamper evident closure assembly which; as assembled, constitute the sectional container. Upon separation into its individual sections, said container provides consumers access to the remaining liquids. Additionally, attached to the bottom of lower section (base) is a lid cover that is used to protect those liquids that remain in the lower section (base). Said lid cover is initially attached to the base by compression fitting said tamper evident closure lid onto beads molded onto the periphery of the lower section (base). 
         [0008]    The separation of the upper section is made possible by removing the frangible band that locks it onto the lower section (base). Similar, prior tamper evident closure caps have performed the basic function of providing only secure capping of container contents. The present container provides a sectional container that provides access to the container liquids that in most cases would be lost to individual consumers; especially with those containers having more heavier bodied liquids. The present container provides for an additional feature, a lid cover for said base container. Said cover is attached underneath the base containers bottom by a compression fitted (push on) assembly operation. 
         [0009]    Previously, tamper evident closures as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,553,727 which issued to Consumer Cap Corporation, as well as many others provide for simple secure capping of a container at its opening. Thus these closure designs provide only secure tamper evident closure and the ability for temporary re-capping of the opening. The present container provides tamper evident closure and expands the realm of its design usage, by expanding the vessel to which it is applied. The present container takes the tamper evident closure feature and creates a new type of application, a connector for components; thus giving the realized container additional usage. The additional usage includes; not only the accessing of liquids, that would have otherwise been lost, but now the consumer has gained the use of a base and lid cover. A base and cover that can be re-filled (as consumers re-purchase new product) with additional liquids, which can be used in other rooms or for travel purposes. The resulting base and lid cover can be compared to the individual cream and lotion jars currently in the marketplace. While the presently preferred embodiment of the container or bottle is made with the use of plastics, other suitable materials maybe used. Such materials include, but are not limited to rubber, waterproof fabrics, collapsible metals, etc. 
         [0010]    There are other groups of tamper evident closure assemblies that rely on different interlocking designs. They include threads, teeth and serrations in order to achieve closure assembly. Said closure designs; having these extending thread designs, with respect to cylindrical containers are adaptable and can be used with present container. The application with cylindrical containers and the present containers provide for an alternate attachment application design. These closures, such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,553,727 to the Consumer Cap Corporation and many others illustrate possible thread designs. Thus by incorporation of such thread designs within the design and scope of present containers supplements its utility. Hence, the present container provides for a liquid tight seal as a result of the accurate sealing surfaces of its molding process and design, and thus expands its usage beyond simple round containers to the unlimited container shapes and sizes. 
       SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
       [0011]    In accordance with one embodiment, a sectional container with a detachable base and lid cover designed to receive a disclosed thumb actuated pump assembly. Sectional members are joined together by compression fitting sections using a mold integrated tamper evident closure member. The base is detachable by removing the frangible band and pulling the two sections apart. The inclusion of a detachable lid cover allows for the covering and protecting of liquids that remains in container when the primary dispensing function fails. 
         [0012]    The invention provides a tightly sealed container capable of being separated into individual sections. In its assembled design, an upper section and a lower section, provides the function of a one piece container. When present container is sectionalized, the lower section provides consumers access to liquids that remain at the bottom of said containers. Thus, the present container gives those consumers who purchase body lotions and creams, the usage of liquids often discarded with the usage of prior designs. Consumers can realize some monetary savings within their healthcare budget with the usage of present invention. 
         [0013]    In another embodiment of the container; a dual dispensing container is made possible by converting the upper section of the container into a separately enclosed unit. A second finger actuated pump assembly is attached to an additional mold incorporated neck, along with a channel that allows for extending the dip tube to the bottom of the lower section. This container design allows for dispensing liquids that consumers would use in a combination (i.e. hair conditioners &amp; shampoo, facial scrubs &amp; facial lotions, hand sanitizer &amp; hand lotions, etc.). This novel container gives consumers the additional benefit of having two key healthcare products in one package and the ability to use either product without the need to physically handle products for usage, thus eliminating the possibility of one of the products slipping from your hands during usage. 
         [0014]    Thus, the present invention uses the tamper evident closure attachment in an innovative manner; a connector, that opens up new opportunities of function. The closure assembly makes it virtually impossible to tamper with product contents without showing signs of tampering. A sectional container manufactured into three individual components and assembled together by compression fitting each together. 
         [0015]    While I have shown and described several embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but is susceptible to numerous changes and modifications as known to a person skilled in the art, and I therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0039]    As shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 1A , a disclosed finger actuated pump dispenser PD is attached to the top of a sectional container  10  by attachment to the upwardly extending neck  12  of the upper portion container  10 . The said pump dispenser PD may be of any commercially available type such as finger-operated pumps used for dispensing healthcare lotions, creams, and soaps. The lower portion container (base)  18 , in its assembled position is locked into the bottom edge of said upper portion  10  by means of the tamper evident tear band  60 . Attached underneath the said base  18  and locked into its assembled position by means of a tamper evident tear band  116 , is the lid cover  20  for said base  18 . Considering the said container  10  in its assembled position; located and adhered to the front and rear surface of container  10  are two adhesive product information labels  14  and  16 . The term container used herein is deemed to include a bottle. 
         [0040]    Referring to  FIG. 1A ,  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 4 , and  FIG. 5  The assembly of the upper section  10  and the lower section (base)  18  is performed by means of a downward movement of upper section  10  from the position of  FIG. 2  to the seated position of  FIG. 1 . The lower skirt of the tamper evident tear band  60  stretches to permit the slanted neck surfaces of the said base  18  to slide over the ridged surfaces of said tear band  60 . The continued downward compression of said upper portion  10 , until the neck  74  of said base  18  snaps into its position against the bottom surface of angled wall  24 . In this position, which locks the two sections together, provides for a tightly sealed container. 
         [0041]    As shown in  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4  the lower base  18 , which has molded onto the bottom periphery, are ridges that allow the lid cover assembly  20  to attach. Said lid cover  20  has molded into its uppermost edge a tamper evident closure  116  that stretches upon alignment and compression to permit the slanted interior surfaces to slide over the said ridges of base  18  periphery. 
         [0042]    As can be seen in  FIG. 5 ; a front adhesive label  14  and a rear adhesive label  16 , which are positioned and placed in their desired locations. Said labels  14 ,  16  are manufactured to contain perforated lines that are aligned with the tear lines of the frangible band of said closure outer skirt  36 . In the assembled position, said labels  14 ,  16  also provide additional closure and seal protection for container contents. 
         [0043]    Considering the separation of the container, as can be seen in  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 3 , and  FIG. 4  the sectional container is divided into its individual components by tearing and lifting off frangible tear bands  60  and  116 . Said upper section  10  can then been snapped-off the lower section  18  and the said lid cover  20  can be snapped-off the underside of said base  18 . 
         [0044]      FIG. 6  Shows an exploded view of the container, The upper section of container  10  comprises along the bottom edge an angular internal wall  24  having a planar under surface  26 . As is best shown in  FIG. 6 ; an exploded sectional view  6 - 6 , suspended from the underside of said wall  24  is an interior skirt  28  which is relatively short and has an outwardly-downwardly slanted inner sealing surface  32 , a substantially vertical outer wall  30  and an inwardly downwardly tapered edge  34  which merges with the lower edge of inner sealing surface  32 . 
         [0045]    Outwardly spaced from the interior skirt  28  is the closure assembly outer skirt  36  which has a substantially vertical outer wall. Considering the inner wall of the closure assembly outer skirt  36 , extending down from internal wall  26  is a substantially vertical top wall  38  of the length about equal to that of interior skirt  28 , which terminates in an internal first bead  40 . The outwardly slanted surface  42  of said bead  40  terminates at the horizontal tear groove  54 . Horizontal tear line  54  merges with the slanted top surface  46  which intersects with the inclined lower surface  48  to form internal lower bead  44 . As is best shown in  FIG. 8 , said beads  40  and  44  are not continuous (not circumferential) but are interrupted with short upper gap  50  and lower gap  52 , respectively. Hence, the wall thickness of the outer skirt  36  at the said gaps  50  and  52  is considerably thinner than at the said beads  40  and lower bead  44 . This permits stretching of the outer skirt  36  during assembly. The upper beads  40  between upper gaps  50  are considerably longer than upper gaps  50 , quantity and size may vary. The lower bead sections  44  are considerably longer than sections  52 . The long beads  40  prevent upper container section  10  from being removed when the outer skirt  36  is intact. Spaced immediately above the top surface of lower bead  44  is a horizontal teat line  54  formed on the interior of outer skirt  36  to permit tearing. As shown in  FIG. 8 , extending upwardly in a slightly spiral configuration is spiral groove  56  which extends from the bottom skirt edge  58  of said outer skirt  36  to merge with the horizontal tear line  54 . A frangible tear band  60  which may be easily gripped with the fingers extends from the bottom skirt edge  58  immediately to one side of spiral groove  56 . To facilitate gripping frangible tear band  60 , raised traverse ridges  62  may be formed thereon. It will be noted that the slanted top surface  46  of internal lower bead  44  are spaced downwardly within the horizontal groove  54 . 
         [0046]      FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 7  Show an exploded sectional of the container base, the vertical neck  74  of lower section (base)  18  at the top; and best shown in  FIG. 7 , there is a horizontal inwardly turned top flange  64  having substantially flat horizontal sealing surface  66  dimensioned to fit against the underside of the interior angled wall  24  between the interior skirt  28  and outer skirt  36 . Describing, first, the interior surface of upper neck  74 , proceeding downwardly from horizontal sealing surface  66  at a substantially right angle is a short first vertical sealing surface  68 . Said surface  68  seats against interior skirt  28  causing it to bend slightly outward, forming a liquid tight seal. The vertical sealing surface  68  is extremely smooth and continuous; and extends to the bottom interior surface of the lower section (base)  18 . 
         [0047]    The exterior of upper neck  74 ; shown in  FIG. 7 , extending vertically downward from surface  66  is an external neck bead  80  which terminates at a sharp angle with horizontal shoulder  82 . The length of neck bead  80  is such that the first bead  40  of the outer skirt  36  in assembled condition seats immediately under horizontal shoulder  82  and holds the upper container section  10  in position, even when the horizontal tear line  54  has been torn. Below the horizontal shoulder  82  is a second vertical exterior surface  84  which is substantially lesser diameter than neck bead  80 . Said surface  84  terminates in external neck bead  86 . Said bead  86  has an outwardly-downwardly upper slant surface  88  which is rounded and merges with lower horizontal surface  90 . Below said bead  86  there is a third lower vertical surface  92  which then merges with the external surface of the thicken base wall  78 , formed by the intersection of angled exterior surface  76  and vertical neck  74 . 
         [0048]      FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 7  and  FIG. 8  show that the assembly of the upper container section  10  and lower section (base)  18 , a downward movement of upper section  10  from the position of  FIG. 2  to the seated position of  FIG. 1 . The outer skirt  36  stretches to permit the inclined lower surface  48  of lower bead  44  to slide over the first corner where the horizontal surface  66  and neck bead  80  intersect and then slide over neck bead  86 . Similarly, the rounded first bead  40  slides over said shoulder  82  and neck bead  80 . In the seated position of  FIG. 1 , the first bead  40  is seated under the shoulder  82  and the lower bead  44  is seated under the horizontal surface  90 . There is a tight liquid seal between the vertical outer wall  30  of the interior skirt  28  and the vertical seal surface  68 , which has been stated to be extremely smooth. Horizontal surface  66  seats against the underside of angled wall  24  and neck bead  80  and vertical top wall  38  accurately seat together. Hence, an extremely tight seal is made possible. 
         [0049]    To separate the container of  FIG. 1 , said consumer should first grip the frangible tear band  60  and pull upwardly and to the left, causing the outer skirt  36  to tear along the horizontal tear line  54 . Said consumer then pulls the frangible tear band  60  outwardly away from the said neck  74  causing the outer skirt  36  to tear along the horizontal tear line  54  so that the entire tear strip below the said tear line  54  is removed. To remove the upper section, said consumer then applies an upward prying force against said upper section  10  thus breaking the seal at first bead  40  and horizontal shoulder  82 . 
         [0050]      FIG. 4 ,  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 9 : Show another alternate embodiment of the container; directing attention to the lid as illustrated in  FIG. 4  and shown best in detailed in  FIG. 6 , the lower portion of the sectional view of  FIG. 6 . The lid comprises a bottom disc  94  having a planer under surface similar in design of said upper container section  10  tamper evident outer skirt  36  assembly. It is noted that said lid cover  20  does not include within its design the internal sealing skirt  28  as detailed in the upper section  10 . Extending from the top of said disc  94  is a substantially vertical outer skirt  96 . Considering the inner surface of vertical outer skirt  96 , extending up from said disc  94  is a short vertical wall  98  that terminates in an internal lower bead  100 . Above internal lower bead  100  is an outwardly slanted surface  102  which terminates at the lower horizontal tear line  110 . Above said tear line  110 , is an internal upper bead  104  which merges with a substantially upwardly-outwardly inclined upper surface  108 . 
         [0051]    Directing attention to the angled external surface  120  of said base  18 , said angled external surface  120  slants inwardly and down to terminate at intersecting vertical wall  134 . Horizontal shoulder  132  intersects with said wall  134  which extends to form a second external upper bead  130 . Below said upper bead  130 ; extending down and inwardly, an outwardly slanted surface  128  intersects with a lower periphery vertical wall  126 . Said lower wall  126  ends at the outwardly horizontal shoulder  124  which connects with the first vertical surface  122 ; creating lower first external bead  123 . Vertical surface  122  extends to bottom disk  94 . Said bottom disk  94  has a relative flat interior surface with no interior sealing walls. 
         [0052]    As is best shown in  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 9 , beads  100  and upper bead  104  are not continuous (not circumferential) but are interrupted with short gaps  105  and upper short gaps  106 , respectively. Hence, the wall thickness of the vertical outer skirt  96  at the said gaps  105  and said gaps  106  is considerably thinner than at the lower bead  100  and upper bead  104 . This permits stretching of the vertical outer skirt  96  during assembly. The upper bead sections  104  between said gaps  106  are considerably longer than gaps  106  and allow for stretching during assembly. The lower beads  100  are considerably longer than gaps  105  which allow for stretching during assembly. Said long beads  100  prevent lid cover  20  from being removed when the vertical outer skirt  96  is intact. Spaced immediately above the top surface of bead  100  is a horizontal tear line  110  formed on the interior of vertical outer skirt  96  to permit tearing. Extending upwardly in a slightly spiral configuration is spiral tear groove  112  which extends from the top skirt edge  114  of vertical outer skirt  96  to merge with the horizontal tear line  110 . A frangible tear band  116  which may be easily gripped with a finger; depends from the lower edge of top skirt  114  immediately to one side of spiral tear groove  112 . To facilitate gripping frangible tear band  116 , raised traverse ridges  118  may be formed thereon. It will be noted that the upper short gap  106  of upper bead  104  are spaced downwardly from the horizontal tear line  110 . 
         [0053]      FIG. 4  and  FIG. 9  show that when the consumer wishes to separate the lid cover from the container&#39;s bottom, he should first grip the frangible tear band  116  and pull upwardly and to the left, causing the vertical outer skirt  96  to tear along the spiral tear groove  112 . The consumer then pulls the said tear band  116  outwardly, along horizontal tear line  110  so that entire tear strip is removed. To remove the lid cover  20 , the consumer then applies a downward prying force against the top disk  94  thus breaking the seal at the internal lower bead  100 . 
       DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ANOTHER PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0054]      FIG. 10 ,  FIG. 11  As shown in  FIG. 10 , the alternate lower base  158  has molded at its bottom edge and detailed in  FIG. 6  an external bead  123  along the periphery of said base  158 . Said external bead  123  connects with horizontal shoulder  124  which connects with vertical surface wall  126 . Said wall  126  extends upwards to intersect with angled external surface  120 . It should be noted that only one external bead is mold incorporated in this embodiment. 
         [0055]    As shown in  FIG. 11 , and detailed in  FIG. 6 , an alternate lid cover which comprises a bottom disc  94  and having a planar under surface similar in design to said lid cover  20  without the frangible tear band  116  attached. Considering the inner surface of vertical outer skirt  96  extending up from said disc  94  is the short vertical wall  98  that terminates at the internal lower bead  100 . Above internal lower bead  100  is an external vertical wall  126  that ends to the top edge of said lid cover  160 . 
       FIG.  12 , FIG.  13 , FIG.  14  Another Preferred Embodiment 
       [0056]    Referring to  FIG. 12 , two disclosed finger operated pump dispensers PD  136  and PD  156  are attached to the top of the sectional dual dispensing container  135  by attaching to the upwardly extending necks  138  and  139  of the dual dispensing container  135 . The said pump dispensers PD  136  and PD  156  may be of any commercially available type such as finger-operated pumps used for dispensing healthcare lotions, creams, and soaps. The lower portion container (base)  142 , in its assembled position is locked into the bottom edge of dual dispensing upper container  140  by means of the upper tamper evident closure  150 . Attached underneath the said base  142  and locked into its assembled position by means of a tamper evident closure  152 , is the lid cover  144  for said base  142 . Considering the said container  135  in its assembled position; located and adhered to the front and rear surface of container  135  are two adhesive product information labels  146  and  148 . 
         [0057]    The present invention; used in this alternate embodiment makes possible dual dispensing of two different liquids used in combination by consumers (hair conditioners &amp; shampoo, facial scrubs &amp; cream, or foaming cleansers &amp; lotions, etc.). The said upper section  140  of present container design is molded to an increased width to accommodate an additional finger actuated pump assembly; there is a widening of the lower section (base)  142  which provides for additional liquid storage. A preferred placement of containers liquids would have the lower section (base)  142  contain the heavier bodied lotions while the upper section  140  would have the more fluid liquids (facial cleansers, sanitizing soaps, etc.). 
         [0058]    Referring to  FIG. 12 ,  FIG. 13 ,  FIG. 14 ,  FIG. 15 ,  FIG. 16  the assembly of the upper section  140  and lower section (base)  142  is performed by means of a downward movement of upper section  140  to the seated position of  FIG. 12 . The lower skirt of the tamper evident closure  150  stretches to permit the slanted neck surfaces of the said base  142  to slide over the beaded surfaces of said closure  150 . Simple downward compression of said upper portion  140  into the closure  152  of said base  142  snaps into its position against the bottom surface of upper section  140 . In this position, which locks the two sections together, provides for a tightly sealed container  135 . As shown  FIG. 16 , front label  146  and rear label  148  are installed after assembly of said container. 
         [0059]    Referring to  FIG. 17 ,  FIG. 18 , and  FIG. 19  The upper section  140  comprises along the bottom edge an external neck  72 . Directing attention to  FIG. 17  and  FIG. 18 ; an angled exterior surface  76  of said upper section  140  slants inwardly to terminate at vertical surface  92 . Horizontal shoulder  90  intersects with slanted surface  88  to form the upper exterior bead  86 . Below said upper bead  86  and extending vertically is surface  84  which intersects with the horizontal shoulder  82 . Said shoulder  82  extends to form the second external neck bead  08 . Directly beneath the said bead  80  is the horizontal sealing surface  66  which rests on the smooth planar surface  26  when assembled. As shown in  FIG. 17 , the tamper evident outer skirt  36  has been mold incorporated into the top edge of lower section (base)  142  having identical internal and external bead designs. 
         [0060]    Directing attention to  FIG. 17  and  FIG. 19 ; the bottom edge of said base  142  shows the horizontal surface  164  which intersects with the circumferential vertical bottom wall  166 . Said bottom wall  166  intersects with the horizontal bottom lip  168  which extends downwardly to form the vertical external bead  170 , which is mold to create the base bottom surface  172 . As shown in  FIG. 19 , lid cover  144  comprises a horizontal top surface  180  that intersects with the vertical short wall  174  an extends down to connect with the horizontal short lip  176 . A vertical catch wall  178  is formed with the intersecting of top surface  184 . 
         [0061]    The exterior surface of the said lid cover  144  contains a vertical outside wall  182  that extends and intersects with slant surface  88 , and intersects with vertical exterior surface  84 . The said vertical surface  84  intersects with horizontal shoulder  82 . The external neck bead  80  is formed just below horizontal shoulder  82  and above the horizontal sealing surface  66 . The sealing surface  66  intersects with the vertical sealing surface  68  then intersects to form the bottom of lid cover  144 . 
         [0062]    Referring to  FIG. 20 ,  FIG. 21 ,  FIG. 22  As shown in a sectional view in  FIG. 20 , the assembled components of the dual dispensing upper section  140  contains two finger actuated pump assemblies  136  and  156 . Also shown in assembly is the screw-in channel tube  162  that attaches to the downward extending neck  186 . In  FIG. 21  and  FIG. 22 , said screw-in channel tube  162  extends up and through the interior of upward extending neck  190 . In  FIG. 22 , the screw-in channel tube  162  is detailed to show the mold incorporated screw threads at is edge. The said channel tube  162  is injection molded to various lengths to accommodate various container sizes.
