ABSTRACT:
A combination of bottle and cap for dispensing a liquid. The bottle includes a narrow neck and a hollow handle. The hollow interior of the handle communicates at its upper and lower end with the interior of the body, to permit a flow of air through the neck opening, via the interior of the handle, to a lower region within the interior of the container so as to minimize glugging during pouring. The cap comprises a cap body attachable to the neck of the bottle. The cap includes on its crown first and second openings, for dispensing liquid and intake of air, respectively. The cap is configured to attach to the container body so as to position the second opening generally facing the handle, while the first opening is opposed to the handle. During pouring, air flows into the second opening within the cap as liquid exits the first opening, with the inflowing air being channeled into the hollow handle interior with minimal interference with the outflowing liquid so as to introduce air into the interior of the body to displace the liquid being poured from the bottle.
