  • Publication number: 20140238999
    Abstract: A series of vessels includes first, second, and third vessels. The first vessel includes a first bottom wall and a first coupling feature formed on a bottom surface of the first bottom wall. The second vessel includes a second bottom wall, a second coupling feature, and a third coupling feature. The second coupling feature is formed on a top surface of the second bottom wall and is configured to engage with the first coupling feature to form a first mated pair. The third coupling feature is formed on a bottom surface of the second bottom wall. The third vessel is sized larger than the second vessel and includes a third bottom wall, a fourth coupling feature, and a fifth coupling feature. The fourth coupling feature is formed on a top surface of the third bottom wall and is configured to engage with the third coupling feature of the second vessel to form a second mated pair.

  • Patent number: 8752720
    Abstract: A molded tether for coupling a cover to a bottle includes a primary ring, a flexible strap, and a bent portion. The primary ring is configured to be attached to a neck of the bottle. The flexible strap is configured to be coupled to the cover. The bent portion extends from the primary ring and couples the primary ring to the flexible strap. The bent portion has a higher level of rigidity than the flexible strap. The bent portion includes a flange and a depending tab. The flange extends radially outwardly from the primary ring. The depending tab extends from an end of the flange opposite the primary ring at a downwardly extending angle away from a plane containing the primary ring and toward the flexible strap. When the molded tether is coupled to the bottle and the cover is removed from the bottle, the strap hangs from the primary ring with an initially non-vertical orientation due to the bent portion.
