PLASTIC BOTTLE
In accordance with the present invention, a plastic molded bottle is disclosed, comprising: a body portion having an upper end and a lower end, an upper dispensing end having a shoulder extending upwardly and inwardly from the upper end of the body portion with a curvature in an elevational direction, and a cap portion having a mechanism to cover the said upper dispensing end. Further, in accordance with the present invention, the said body portion of the plastic liquid bottle is structurally created with a holding mechanism, and the said holding mechanism comprises of a plurality of finger support curves which allows a user to hold the said plastic liquid bottle with a fine grip.
The present invention relates to a bottle for fluids, and particularly to a plastic bottle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a plastic molded liquid bottle with an improved gripping mechanism.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTIONPlastic bottles used for drinking beverages, such as water, etc., are well known. They are typically molded as a single piece of plastic, e.g., a polyester or polycarbonate, using conventional injection molding techniques. Further, evolution in the plastic/bottle industry took place in the late 90s and early 2000s and bottles with handle or holding mechanism were invented and patented in order to improve the gripping and holding of the bottles.
One of the U.S. Pat. No. 6,695,163B2 discloses a water bottle with an integrally molded handle in which the opening defined by the handle has a contour that corresponds substantially to the contours of the fingers of the hand when the bottle is held during use. The bottle can include a series of ribs and furrows approximately matching the contour of the insides of the fingers that allow the user to securely grip the bottle during use. In a second embodiment the integrally molded handle is attached by a fluted arrangement and can be extended from or collapsed to the sides of the bottle.
Another U.S. Pat. No. 6,237,792B1 discloses a bottle having a handle integral with a back wall and spaced from the plane of the bottom of the bottle, such separation being sufficient to allow a user's fingers to grip the bottle while the bottle is against a flat surface.
It can be seen from the above, that a handle is built either internally or externally on the body of the bottle. Further, it can also be noted from the aforesaid patents that the molding of handles also reduces the water storing capacity of the bottle.
Although the gripping of bottles has been improved drastically by these patented inventions however, bottles of such kind are not so easy to carry—meaning thereby—the end user has to carry such bottles in their hand since the aforesaid bottles cannot be placed perfectly inside the side pocket of the carry bag. In a country like India, where most of the working professionals carry side bags or laptop bags, so it becomes a difficult task for them to place the aforesaid bottles perfectly.
Further, in order to solve the aforesaid problem, many of the researchers and companies have removed the handle and tried to improve the gripping mechanism of the bottle. However, still there is a need to have an improved version of plastic bottles with the improved gripping mechanism.
OBJECTIVE OF INVENTIONThe primary objective of the present invention is to disclose a plastic molded bottle.
Another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic molded bottle with a body portion having an upper end and a lower end.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic molded bottle with an upper dispensing end having a shoulder extending upwardly and inwardly from the upper end of the body portion with a curvature in an elevational direction.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic molded bottle with a cap portion having a mechanism to cover the said upper dispensing end.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic molded bottle wherein the said body portion of the plastic liquid bottle is structurally created with a holding mechanism, and the said holding mechanism comprises of a plurality of finger support curves which allows a user to hold the said plastic liquid bottle with a fine grip.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, the aspects of the present invention are disclosed.
