  • Publication number: 20220250796
    Abstract: A stackable bottle system is a modular apparatus used to present a tasting set of wines, or other separate beverages and liquids, in a user-configurable unit assembled from multiple independent containers. The stackable bottle system utilizes a plurality of interlocking bottles, each individually formed from a core container, a convex neck, a concave base, and an intermediary connector. The core container provides a hollow body to retain any liquid beverage into each separable, modular bottle of the stackable bottle system. The convex neck and the concave base are connected to the core container to provide equal and opposed compatible mounting contours for each modular bottle. The intermediary connector is fixably mounted into the concave base to facilitate a mechanical connection between any two modular bottles. More specifically, the intermediary connector mounts into the concave base of any first bottle to releasably capture the convex neck of any second bottle.

  • Patent number: 11401074
    Abstract: A stackable bottle system is a modular apparatus used to present a tasting set of wines, or other separate beverages and liquids, in a user-configurable unit assembled from multiple independent containers. The stackable bottle system utilizes a plurality of interlocking bottles, each individually formed from a core container, a protruding engagement structure, a recessed engagement structure, and a separable seal. The separable seal is mounted over an opening in the core container, enclosing a reservoir. The core container provides a hollow body to retain any liquid therein. The protruding engagement structure and the recessed engagement structure are integrated into the core container at a neck end and a base end, respectively. The protruding engagement structure of an arbitrary bottle is engaged into the recessed engagement structure of an adjacent bottle to form the basis for the modular assembly of the present invention.
