Combination Bottle Handle, Opener and Hanger

Abstract

A bottle holder snaps onto the neck of a bottle in order to function as a holder for the bottle. The bottle is inserted into a bottle insertion hole on a bottle attachment portion and pressed into a smaller bottle locking hole in order to position a bottle neck flange of the bottle within a bottle neck flange groove of the bottle attachment portion. A first tapered edge and a second tapered edge traversing from the bottle insertion hole to the bottle locking hole are separated by a distance smaller than the bottle locking hole, providing additional support for the bottle within the bottle locking hole. A bottle opening portion adjacent to the bottle attachment portion allows the user to open a capped glass bottle, and a handle portion provides an area for the user to easily hold, handle and manipulate the bottle while in the locked position.

Description

[0001]The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 61 / 863,108 filed on Aug. 7, 2013.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to the field of bottle accessories.

Problems solved by technology

However, utilizing a bottle requires finger dexterity and grip, and the generally cylindrical or otherwise radial geometry of bottles sometimes poses challenges for the user.

For example, a large bottle such as a two-liter soda bottle is difficult to manipulate with one hand since the gripping force required to hold the bottle may cause the bottle to slip from the user's hand or to collapse into itself.

Bottles being carried in backpacks are sometimes prone to leakage, damaging other items or causing irritation.

Additionally, to take a drink, the user must open the backpack, locate the bottle inside the backpack, take a drink from the bottle, and return the bottle to the backpack, which can sometimes be a cumbersome process.

Existing detachable bottle handles are either expensive, are not user friendly, do not maintain a good grip on the bottle, are bulky, heavy, difficult to attach and remove, are unsanitary or difficult to clean.
