Description
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bottle which is formed of three independent pieces allowing easy access to the interior bottle and later reuse of the 5. bottle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With some foods, such as ketchup and the like, it is necessary due to the chemical properties of the food to construct the food containers or bottles with 10. a narrowed neck region; however, due to this bottle shaping it is often awkward, if not impossible to completely empty the contents of the bottle, particularly since the reduced neck prevents access to a large spoon or the like to the base of the bottle.
15. In addition these bottles having a narrowed neck are generally not suited for reuse due to the small diameter mouth on the bottle as well as the difficult access to the interior of the bot-tle.
SUMMARY OF TOE PRESENT INVENTION
20. The present invention provides a multi-piece bottle which overcomes -the drawbacks mentioned above.
The multi-piece bottle of the present invention comprises a lower broad-mouthed jar portion an upper funnel portion for removably securing with the jar 25. portion and a capping member for removably capping the funnel portion The multi~piece bottle of the present invention when assembled and capped provides a closed container with a narrowed neck particularly suitable for storing foods such as ketchup and the like and 3D. with the funnel portion removed from the jar portion provides easy access to enable substantially complete emptying and reuse of the bottle.
it 1. BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE DRA~JINGS
. . . _ The above, as well as other advantages and features of the present invention will be described in greater detail according to the preferred embodiments 5. of the present invention in which:
Figure 1 is an assembled perspective view of a multi-piece bottle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the 10. bottle shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing separate use of the lower jar portion of the bottle of Figures 1 and 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION ACCORDING TO THE PREFERRED
15. EMBODIMENTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The multi-piece bottle of the present invention comprises a lower jar portion 1, an upper funnel portion 5 and a capping member 13. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the funnel portion threads onto 20. the jar portion with the capping member in turn threading onto the funnel portion. The jar portion is ; provided with a seal or gasket 17 which seals against the funnel portion and the cap will be provided with its own interior gasket material as is well known in 25. the art to provide a complete sealing of the bottle when the pieces are assembled as shown in Figure 2.
In this assembled condition the bottle can easily be used at the manufacturing level for containing certain food products such as ketchup or the like which, due 30. to their chemical make-up require storage in a container having a reduced diameter neck as indicated at 9 on funnel portion 5. However, as can well be appreciated, as the bottle begins to empty it is difficult to clean the contents from the bottom of the I, 35. bottle and according to the present invention, the funnel portion 5 is easily unthreaded from jar portion 1 making it easy to get access through the large threaded mouth 3 of the jar to the bottom of the bottle.
. 3 .
1. When the bottle has been emptied it is particularly suited for reuse, which is again a feature of the multi-piece construction ox the bottle. In one embodiment the lower wide-mouth jar 5. is, as shown in Figure 2, sealed by means of the funnel portion with its threaded cap. The funnel portion can of course be easily removed, again permitting access through the wide mouth of the jar to the bottom of the bottle.
10. In another embodiment a separate lid may be provided for sealing the jar as shown in Figure 3.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention the jar portion is constructed with a relatively standard size mouth for receiving a 15. standard size threaded lid which could, for example, be found on a regular coffee jar, or the like and fitted to the jar of the present invention.
Different constructions for the multi-piece bottle of the present invention can be provided. According 20. to one of these constructions the lower jar portion and the upper funnel portion are constructed from glass with the sealing gasket between the two portions and the cap formed from either a plastic or a metal material. According to a further construction, the 25. entire bottle may be made from a light weight plastic material or the like.
Although various Preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described herein in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the 30. art, that variations may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
The present invention relates to a bottle which is formed of three independent pieces allowing easy access to the interior bottle and later reuse of the 5. bottle.
