  • Beverage container/drinking vessel
    Patent number: 6164473
    Abstract: A container can be configured as either a bottle or a drinking vessel. The bottle has a base which is detachable. A drinking vessel is formed by removing the base from the hollow body of the bottle, inverting the hollow body of the bottle, and reattaching the top of the bottle to the base. In the bottle configuration, a locking band connects the base of the bottle to the hollow body of the bottle. The locking band also acts as a tamper-evident seal.
