Title: Neck Ring-Based Scoop on Top Mechanism for Containers** Field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to an innovative mechanism for containers, such as jars, bottles, or other similar vessels, where a scoop is always accessible on top. This mechanism eliminates the need for additional attachments, holders, fixtures, or accessories and can be sealed with a wad without compromising the scoop's accessibility.
Background of the Invention:
In conventional containers used for holding powders, granules, or other particulate materials, scoops are often buried within the product. This makes them difficult to find and retrieve, leading to inconvenience and potential contamination as users search through the product. The present invention addresses these issues by providing a mechanism that keeps the scoop on top of the container, ensuring it is always easily accessible and hygienically stored.
Summary of the Invention:
The present invention provides a container mechanism featuring a ring or ledge formed integrally with the main body of the container. A scoop with a notch on its front part and a handle on its back part is designed to engage with this ring or ledge, retaining the scoop in an accessible position on top of the container. This design enhances user convenience and maintains the hygiene of the product.

Detailed Description of the Invention: -
Introduction:
The present invention pertains to an enhanced container design that incorporates an innovative scoop-on-top mechanism. This mechanism ensures the scoop remains readily accessible at all times, eliminating the common inconvenience and hygiene concerns associated with lost or buried scoops in traditional containers. The invention comprises a container body, a closure, a reinforcing ring or ledge, and a uniquely designed scoop that securely rests on the ring.
Container Structure:
1. Container Body: -
The container body is constructed from a suitable material such as glass, plastic, or metal, depending on the intended product and packaging requirements. The body is designed to hold the product securely and withstand typical handling conditions.
2. Closure: -
The closure is a lid or cap that seals the container to preserve product freshness and prevent spillage. It is designed to fit securely onto the container body and can be made from various materials compatible with the container body and product.
3.Ring or Ledge: -
An integral part of the container body, the ring or ledge is positioned below the closure. It serves as a reinforcement for the container neck, enhancing its structural integrity and facilitating a secure seal. Additionally, this ring provides a stable platform for the scoop to rest upon.
4. Scoop: -
The scoop is crafted from a food-safe material and features a unique notch on its front part and a handle on its back part. The notch engages with the ring or ledge of the container, retaining the scoop in an accessible position. The scoop can be of any size in milliliters (ml) and any shape, designed to effectively remove the product from the container. It can be made of any material, including wood, plastic, compostable material, metal, paper, or any other suitable substance.
Operation:
To use the container, the user simply removes the closure. The scoop, securely positioned on the ring, is immediately accessible. The user can then fill the scoop with the product and dispense it as needed. When finished, the scoop is placed back on the ring, and the closure is reapplied.
The ring or ledge offers several advantages. It strengthens the container neck, reducing the risk of breakage or deformation. It also provides a precise alignment point for the closure, minimizing the chances of leaks or spills. By keeping the scoop consistently on top, the invention maintains product hygiene and prevents contamination.

Features and Benefits:
1. Secure Resting Mechanism:
The notch in the scoop allows it to rest securely on the ring or ledge without requiring additional attachments, holders, fixtures, or accessories. This design prevents the scoop from falling into the container or getting lost in the product.
2. Enhanced Neck Strength: -
The ring or ledge provides additional strength to the neck of the container, facilitating easy alignment for closing and preventing leaks and spills. This ensures a secure seal and enhances the overall durability of the container.
3. Hygienic Storage: -
The mechanism ensures that the scoop remains hygienically stored on top of the container. By preventing the scoop from being buried within the product, the design reduces the risk of contamination and maintain the hygiene of the product.
4. Ease of Use: -
The scoop is always accessible and conveniently positioned on top of the container, eliminating the need t search for it within the product. This enhances user convenience and functionality.
5. Versatility: -
