ABSTRACT:
An inverted bottle support and dispenser apparatus 20, 21, 22, or 23 for allowing a bottle or container 30 to stand in a normally inverted resting position. The dispenser apparatus comprises at least two tier components wherein the at least two tier component slidingly move relative to each other. The first tier component has at least an opening, channel, or hole, and the second tier component has at least a rib or engaging component to correspondingly and insertingly engage with the opening, channel, or hole in the first tier component to provide at least an open dispensing position that allows the contents of the bottle or container 30 to be dispensed and a closed position to allow the contents of the bottle or container 30 to remain in the bottle or container 30. Furthermore, the at least two tier components can be positioned to provide an unlocked position and a locked position for the dispenser apparatus. One preferred embodiment is a three tier embodiment having a first tier component 40, a second tier component 50, and a third tier component 60. Another preferred embodiment is a two tier embodiment having a first tier component 40C or 40D and a second tier component 50C and 50D. A spring component 70 is used within the tier components to provide automatic retraction of the first tier component 40, 40C, or 40D to the second tier component 50, 50C, or 50D. Furthermore, a ventilation mechanism, such as a slide tab 81 on the bottle or a hollow tube 91 attached through the dispenser apparatus 20, 21, 22, or 23 and inserted inside the bottle, is used with the dispenser apparatus.
