[0018] In still a further aspect, ribs may be incorporated on the conical ceiling, the conical recess, or the sidewalls to make the bottle stronger a

Problems solved by technology

Such stackable bottles are not ideal as the sideways stacking of bottles may increase the likelihood that the contents of the bottles will leak out of the bottles, particularly where the bottle contents are liquid.
These nesting, stackable bottles do not include means for interlocking the sides or tops and bottoms of the bottles to provide stability to a stack of such bottles.
In addition, nesting bottles often do not provide sufficient strength to withstand collapse und

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Referring first to FIGS. 1 to 3, a stackable bottle 2 according to the present invention comprises a storage compartment having an upper surface 4 with a conical ceiling 6, a centrally disposed neck 8 extending from the conical ceiling with an opening 10 therein, and a lower surface 42. The bottle has four side walls 12, 14, 16, 18, vertical interlocking means comprising side wall protrusions 20, 22 corresponding to side wall recesses 24, 26, and horizontal interlocking means comprising at least one upper surface protrusion 28 corresponding to at least one lower surface recess 46.

[0029] The side wall protrusions are of a size, relative to the size of the side wall recesses, which permits a releasable locational transition fit engagement of the protrusions into the recesses. Similarly, the upper surface protrusions are of a size, relative to the size of the lower surface recesses, which permits a releasable locational transition fit engagement of the protrusions into the rece...

Abstract

A bottle having a storage chamber defined by spaced upper and lower surfaces and planar sidewalls; a conical ceiling in said upper surface having an opening at the top thereof; a conical convex recess in said lower surface for receiving the conical ceiling of the next adjacent bottle when stacking said bottles, and means for interlocking the sides and upper and lower surfaces of the bottles when stacked.

Description

RELATIONSHIP OT PENDING US PATENT APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of pending United States non-provisional patent application Ser. No. 10 / 981,719 filed Nov. 5, 2004 by Dean Vincent Lane. [0002] This application claims the benefit of domestic priority from U.S. provisional patent application No. 60 / 789,142 filed Apr. 5, 2006 by Dean V. Lane.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention relates generally to containers, and more particularly to a system of stackable bottles. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] It is known to provide a storage bottle which permits stacking of bottles on the bottles' sides. Examples of such bottles include U.S. Pat. No. 4,892,207 to Cullis entitled: “Bottled Water Container”, U.S. Pat. No. 5,002,199 to Frahm entitled: “Stackable Bottle”, U.S. Pat. No. 4,308,955 to Schieser et al. entitled: “Interfitting, Stackable Bottles”; and U.S. Pat. No. 3, 889, 834 to Harris entitled: “Container Construction”. Such stackable bottl...
