Abstract
A bottle includes a base, neck that defines an aperture, and a body. The bottle has at least one indent in the body that projects into an interior of the bottle and extends around at least part of a circumference of the body. This at least one indent is configured to agitate a substance contained in the bottle. For example, the bottle may contain a powder, such as protein powder, and the at least one indent helps mix the powder with a liquid. In an example, two indents are used in the bottle.
Claims18
A bottle comprising:
- a base;
- a neck defining an aperture;
- a body having a circumference and extending between the base and the neck, the body further defined by a wall having an outer surface and an inner surface having a radius measured from a center of the bottle, the circumference of the body including a first portion that is unobstructed between the neck and the base and a second portion with a changing inner radius to the center of the bottle;
- a first indent into the second portion of the circumference and projecting a first distance into the interior to define a first inner diameter, the first indent defined by a first upper planar region, a first lower planar region, and a first tip defining a furthest depth into the interior that the first indent projects, the first upper planar region and the first lower planar region extending between the circumference of the body and the first tip;
- and
- a second indent into the second portion of the circumference and projecting a second distance into the interior to define a second inner diameter, the second indent defined by a second upper planar region, a second lower planar region, and a second tip defining a furthest depth into the interior that the second indent projects, the second upper planar region and the second lower planar region extending between the circumference of the body and the second tip,
- wherein the first distance and the second distance are each at least 50% of a radius extending from the center of the bottle to the inner surface of the bottle, as measured in a plane at the first indent.
