Abstract

ABSTRACT
There is a problem when one tries to transfer sauces or lotions or liquids or solids from one bottle to another. If it's not a quick immediate transfer (like water-which travels quickly and easily and within seconds), then usually a person places one bottle upside down on top of another bottle-the one into which the contents will pass.
If you think about a product like ketchup for example, you will understand that to transfer ketchup from an almost empty bottle, into another bottle which may have quite a bit of ketchup in it/
or a smaller bottle (for practical reasons), it is quite a messy procedure.
When one attempts this procedure by trying to balance a ketchup bottle upside down onto another ketchup bottle, hoping to empty the left-over contents of the top one into the bottle below, often the bottle on top falls down due to many causes-including slippage, vibrations, accidents, and loss of balance.
In this invention, we find a device which fits between the two bottles, and holds the top bottle in place while its contents pour out into the bottle below. This device can screw onto the bottle on the bottom, and then the other bottle can be screwed into the other side (the top). Then, the top bottle will balance, as its contents are transfered in their own sweet time- without messes, spills, frustration......
