Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a plastic container/bottle for storage of liquids, which we may refer herein as object. More particularly, this present invention relates to a plastic liquid container/bottle or object with a provision of gripping the object and because of this provision it has become very human friendly and therefore will be of great benefit to the ultimate user/consumer.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Plastic Liquid Bottles are used for storing and delivery or storage of 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 molding techniques. These plastic liquid jars are typically blow molded or stretch blow molded.

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.

Since the contents of a bottle is typically cold, condensation results in the formation of dew on the outside of the bottle. One of the drawbacks associated with drinking the contents directly from such a bottle is this dew which causes the bottle to become slippery. Therefore, in an attempt to solve the aforesaid problem, bottles with rough outer surfaces were provided. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,403,804 and Design U.S. Pat. No. 308,335 describe beverage bottles whose outer surface is etched with a multiplicity of closely spaced ridges.

Although the presence of such ridges improves the grip which one can apply on the bottle, slipperiness of the outer surface remains a problem.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of slipperiness, a beverage bottle with finger grip indentations were disclosed. US patent with publication number U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,054A discloses a beverage bottle having fingergrip indentations which facilitate grasping and holding of the bottle without slipping. The location of the fingergrips in relation to a label bearing a brand name affords a high degree of brand name visibility in environments where consumption of the contents is directly from the bottle. Special geometry of the fingergrip indentations permits high speed filling of the bottles with beer without excessive turbulence and foaming.

However, the bottle as claimed in the aforesaid patent appears to be covering only a beer bottle made of a glass. As of now, there is no such gripping mechanism in the plastic liquid containing containers/bottles to support the fingers.

OBJECTIVE OF INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to disclose a plastic container/bottle.

Another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic container/bottle with a liquid storage chamber comprising of a lower end and an upper end.

Yet another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic container/bottle with an upper dispensing end at one end of the chamber for introducing liquid to the chamber and removing liquid from the chamber.

Yet another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic container/bottle wherein the said liquid storage chamber is structurally created or molded with a gripping mechanism above the lower end of the said liquid storage chamber.

Yet another objective of the present invention is to disclose the plastic container/bottle wherein the said gripping mechanism comprises of a finger support surface which allows a user to carry the said plastic 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.
