Embodiment Construction
[0016]The following description is of the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of describing a preferred embodiment of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined with reference to the claims.
[0017]FIG. 1(a) illustrates, the product made by the method of the present invention. The decorative overcap 102 is coupled with a bottle closure 103, transforming the ordinary bottle 104 into a decorative bottle 100.
[0018]FIG. 1(b) illustrates the separate pieces of the bottle closure assembly 101, which consists of a decorative overcap 102 coupled with a standard bottle cap 103. The overcap 102 is coupled in such a way as to prevent any type of slipping or disengagement from the cap 103, the coupling can encompass multiple variations, including the overcap 102 being connected with the bottle closure 103 or the overcap 102 being attached to the bottle closu...

A bottle closure assembly 101, consisting of a decorative overcap 102 coupled with a bottle top closure 103. A decorative overcap 102 is coupled with a bottle closure 103 which may or may not already be secured on the bottle 104. The decorative overcap 102 can be coupled to the bottle closure 103 with adhesive 105, by interference fit or by interlocking fit. Additionally the method for coupling could be achieved by use of materials such as the overcap 102 being made of a heat shrink material or the bottle closure 103 being made of an expanding material. Additionally the method can be done mechanically or manually. The bottle closure assembly can be fixed or removably affixed. Once the decorative overcap 102 is coupled with the bottle closure 103, creating the assembly 101, an ordinary bottle 104 is transformed into a decorative bottle 100.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a decorative bottle closure assembly, and more particularly to a method for coupling a decorative overcap to a bottle closure. The method for coupling the bottle closure assembly is particularly well suited for use in inexpensively creating distinctive bottles, in particular for the use of bottles containing liquids.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Current bottle closures are relatively form fitting to the opening of the bottle, often also referred to as a cap. Generally they are plastic and made purely for function to inhibit the loss of the contents in the bottle. Economically, the least expensive way to secure a bottle opening is to affix a form fitting cap.[0003]In order to increase the attractiveness of the product to potential buyers and, therefore, increase the price of the product, decorative bottle caps are often used by sellers. These generally are larger than the form fitting cap and have some type of decorative element that attrac...
