ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to beverage bottles with twist off bottle caps and more particularly to a bottle with integrally formed opener that includes a twist off bottle cap, a molded glass bottle, and a peel off sanitary cover member; the twist off bottle cap having a number of evenly spaced grippable teeth extending outwardly from an internally threaded center cover portion; the molded glass bottle having a neck portion and a bottom portion; the neck portion terminating in a externally threaded neck member defining a dispensing opening and companionately threaded to engage and hold the twist off bottle cap in sealing relation to the dispensing opening of the externally threaded neck member; the bottom portion having a cap teeth engaging bottle cavity formed into a bottom surface thereof sized to receiving a twist off bottle cap therein and having a number of grippable teeth engaging protrusions that are sized and shaped to fit between evenly spaced grippable teeth of the twist off bottle cap; the peel off sanitary cover member being adhesively secured to the bottom surface of the bottom portion such that the cap teeth engaging bottle cavity is sealingly covered; the peel off sanitary cover member having a grip tab extending from a side edge thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
Many individuals find it difficult to twist off the twist off cap of many beverage bottles. It would be a benefit, therefore, to have a beverage bottle with a twist of cap that included a cap twisting structure molded into a bottom bottle surface thereof sized and shaped to gripping hold the twist off cap of another identical bottle. Because the cap twisting structure is molded into the bottom surface of the bottle where it can become contaminated while sitting on a table, in an ice chest or the like, it would also be a benefit to have a peel off cover member positioned over the cap twisting structure to protect it from contamination until it is used.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a bottle with integrally formed opener that includes a twist off bottle cap, a molded glass bottle, and a peel off sanitary cover member; the twist off bottle cap having a number of evenly spaced grippable teeth extending outwardly from an internally threaded center cover portion; the molded glass bottle having a neck portion and a bottom portion; the neck portion terminating in a externally threaded neck member defining a dispensing opening and companionately threaded to engage and hold the twist off bottle cap in sealing relation to the dispensing opening of the externally threaded neck member; the bottom portion having a cap teeth engaging bottle cavity formed into a bottom surface thereof sized to receiving a twist off bottle cap therein and having a number of grippable teeth engaging protrusions that are sized and shaped to fit between evenly spaced grippable teeth of the twist off bottle cap; the peel off sanitary cover member being adhesively secured to the bottom surface of the bottom portion such that the cap teeth engaging bottle cavity is sealingly covered; the peel off sanitary cover member having a grip tab extending from a side edge thereof.
Accordingly, a bottle with integrally formed opener is provided. The bottle with integrally formed opener includes a twist off bottle cap, a molded glass bottle, and a peel off sanitary cover member; the twist off bottle cap having a number of evenly spaced grippable teeth extending outwardly from an internally threaded center cover portion; the molded glass bottle having a neck portion and a bottom portion; the neck portion terminating in a externally threaded neck member defining a dispensing opening and companionately threaded to engage and hold the twist off bottle cap in sealing relation to the dispensing opening of the externally threaded neck member; the bottom portion having a cap teeth engaging bottle cavity formed into a bottom surface thereof sized to receiving a twist off bottle cap therein and having a number of grippable teeth engaging protrusions that are sized and shaped to fit between evenly spaced grippable teeth of the twist off bottle cap; the peel off sanitary cover member being adhesively secured to the bottom surface of the bottom portion such that the cap teeth engaging bottle cavity is sealingly covered; the peel off sanitary cover member having a grip tab extending from a side edge thereof.
