ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for compressing a collapsible container to adjust an internal volume thereof in order to, for example, preserve carbonation of a liquid in the container. In one embodiment, a base section having a bottom surface and a skirt is adapted to receive and support a lower portion of the container. An upper section having a top surface and an upper skirt engages the base section and surrounds at least part of an upper portion of the container. Interlocking means are operative to interlock the base and upper sections in response to an applied compressive force, and to retain the container in a compressed state after the removal of the force. Other exemplary embodiments may utilize a threaded interlocking means, or a telescoping arrangement with a middle section between the base section and upper section, or may eliminate either the base section or the upper section and utilize interlocking means formed on the container itself.
