Description
- To the full extent permitted by law, the present United States Non-Provisional patent application is a Continuation-in-Part of, and hereby claims priority to and the full benefit of United States Non-Provisional application entitled “Beverage Container with an Integral Textured Sidewall And Methods of Use”, filed on Jul. 28, 2014, having assigned Ser. No. 14/341,954, incorporated entirely herein by reference.

- Various containers such as aluminum cans and plastic bottles are known in the prior art, for example, there are aluminum beer and soda cans, aerosol cans, and plastic or glass water, tea, beer and soda bottles available on the market. It is known to configure such deformable containers with indents, ridges, rings and other large deformations in the ends, junctions or sidewalls of such containers to reinforce the containers form and prevent deformation of the container when the container is squeezed or pressurized. It is still further known to configure such containers with recessed finger grooves in the sidewalls of such containers to enable a user to insert their fingers therein to ergonomically grip the container. However, in such chilled containers the sidewall surface area is primarily occupied by a flat smooth surface which is slick or slippery when gripped.
- Moreover, many such containers are utilized to provide a beverage such as soda, beer, tea, water and the like and such beverages are preferably served cold or chilled. When cold beverages are served or a pressurized can is discharged the ambient air is often humid and warmer than the container and beverage temperature or pressurized content resulting in condensation forming on the container adding to the slickness or slippery surface when a user attempts to grip the container.
- One previous approach is to add a silicone sleeve to the exterior of the container to prevent a glass container from shattering. Another approach is to add a braided metal mesh sleeve to the exterior of the container for more secure gripping.
- Therefore, it is readily apparent that there is a recognizable unmet need for a beverage or pressurized container with an integral textured sidewall and methods of use, wherein a small pattern textured exterior sidewall provides secure gripping of a wet or condensation covered container.

- In a further exemplary embodiment of a method of forming a pressurized container including steps of providing a container, the container having a bottom base, a sidewall, a top, and a nozzle, pressing a texture therein the sidewall, wherein the texture is configured from a small repeated pattern.
- In a further exemplary embodiment of a method of forming a pressurized container including the steps of providing a container, the container having a bottom base, a sidewall, a top, and a nozzle, rolling a texture therein the sidewall, wherein the texture is configured from a small repeated pattern.
