Abstract
A protective bottle enclosure for removably enclosing a bottle having a bottleneck ending in an open mouth. The enclosure includes a base section, a body, and a removable cap. The base section includes a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top. The body can removably engage the base section to cover the open top thereof. The removable cap includes a cap sidewall and a stopper that can removably engage the open mouth of the bottle. The stopper includes a stopper body and an annular ring extending radially outward from the stopper body. In use, the protective bottle enclosure can surround the bottle and seal the open mouth of the bottle when the base section is engaged with the body and the removable cap is engaged with the neck section.

A protective bottle enclosure for removably enclosing a bottle having a bottleneck ending in an open mouth, the enclosure comprising:
- a base section including a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top, the base bottom wall disposed below the open top;
- a body including a neck section, a shoulder section, and a waist section, the neck section including a neck sidewall and an annular lip disposed around a neck opening, the shoulder section including a shoulder sidewall having a taper, the waist section including a waist sidewall having a generally constant diameter, the neck opening being narrower than the diameter of the waist sidewall, the body further including a bottom opening and a first internal volume positioned within the body between the neck opening and the bottom opening,
- wherein the body is configured to be removably engaged to the base section to cover the open top thereof;
- and
- a removable cap comprising a cap sidewall and a stopper, the stopper being configured to removably engage the open mouth of the bottle, the cap sidewall being configured to removably engage the annular lip of the neck section,
- wherein the stopper includes a stopper body and an annular ring extending radially outward from the stopper body,
- wherein, in an in-use configuration, the protective bottle enclosure is configured to surround the bottle and seal the open mouth of the bottle when the base section is engaged with the body and the removable cap is engaged with the neck section.
A protective bottle enclosure for removably enclosing a bottle having a bottleneck ending in an open mouth, the enclosure comprising:
- a base section including a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top, the base bottom wall disposed below the open top;
- a body section including a neck section, a shoulder section, and a waist section, the neck section including a neck sidewall and threads disposed internally adjacent a neck opening, wherein the neck section extends upward from an uppermost point of the shoulder section, the shoulder section including a shoulder sidewall having a taper, the waist section including a waist sidewall having a generally constant diameter, the neck opening being narrower than the diameter of the waist sidewall, the body section further including a bottom opening and a first internal volume positioned within the body section between the neck opening and the bottom opening;
- a fastening assembly that is carried by at least one of the body section or the base section, wherein the fastening assembly is configured to removably engage the body section and the base section to cover the open top thereof, such that a top of the base sidewall is positioned above the fastening assembly and the bottom opening of the body section;
- and
- a removable cap comprising a cap sidewall that is configured to removably engage the threads of the neck section,
- wherein, in an in-use configuration, the base section is engaged with the body section and the removable cap is engaged with the neck section, a portion of the bottleneck extends through the neck opening so that the open mouth of the bottle is positioned above the neck opening.
A protective bottle enclosure for removably enclosing a bottle, the enclosure comprising:
- a base including a cylindrical base sidewall that extends from a base bottom wall to an open top and defines a base cavity, wherein a portion of the base bottom wall comprises a planar bottom surface;
