Publication number: 20240140661Abstract: A bottle assembly has a bottle and a removable cap. The cap includes a nozzle and a vent arrangement. The vent arrangement can include a vent conduit that extends into an air cavity present at the bottom of the bottle assembly when the bottle assembly is inverted. The vent arrangement allows for pressure equalization within the bottom assembly in response to liquid being dispensed from the bottle assembly to permit high flow rates of the dispensed liquid without squeezing of the bottle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Carina Mary Hamel, Robert Hart Ringer, Peter William Hazelett, Casey J. Davis, Christopher Ian Jones, Daniel William Peter, Mark Callen Beard
