Abstract
A bottle assembly comprises a bottle having an end wall having a substantially U-shaped compartment for receiving a lip balm container and a coupling assembly for removably grasping the lip balm container as the lip balm container rests within the substantially U-shaped compartment, the coupling assembly removably coupling the lip balm container to the bottle. The coupling assembly can be configured to be mounted onto a top surface of the bottle and can have a connecting ring thereon for coupling to a carabiner.
Claims19
A bottle assembly for storing a liquid material and a balm material in separate portions of the assembly for convenient storage of the materials without co-mingling the materials, the bottle assembly comprising:
- a bottle having a lower ledge extending from a wall thereof;
- and
- a coupling assembly mounted to the bottle for removably coupling a container to the bottle, the coupling assembly having an upper ledge and a substantially planar body having opposing side panels extending downwardly therefrom, the side panels having ridges thereon for mounting into a body of the bottle, such that a container is selectively mounted between the lower ledge of the bottle and the upper ledge of the coupling assembly.
A bottle assembly configured to maintain two different materials within different portions of the bottle assembly for selective use by a user, the bottle assembly comprising:
- a bottle;
- a coupling assembly mounted to the bottle for removably grasping a container as the container rests within a substantially U-shaped compartment formed by the coupling assembly and the bottle, wherein the coupling assembly comprises a substantially planar body having opposing side panels extending downwardly therefrom, the side panels having ridges thereon for mounting into a body of the bottle.
A method for providing an assembly for storing two different materials, the method comprising:
- providing a bottle having an end wall and a ledge extending from the end wall;
- providing a coupling assembly for removably grasping a container as the container rests on the ledge, the coupling assembly configured with a ledge and a substantially planar body having opposing side panels extending downwardly therefrom, the side panels having ridges thereon for mounting into a body of the bottle, the bottle end wall, bottle ledge, and coupling assembly ledge forming a subtantially U-shaped compartment, the compartment enabling a user to selectively insert container into the compartment and to selectively remove container from the compartment;
- providing a separate container configured to fit within the substantially U-shaped compartment;
- and
- placing the container within the substantially U-shaped compartment such that the container is conveniently coupled to the bottle within the compartment and can be selectively removed therefrom.
