Claims27
A holding arrangement, comprising:
- a. a cap-and-nozzle assembly for a dropper bottle having a container body and a mouth configured to receive the cap-and-nozzle assembly, the cap-and-nozzle assembly comprising a cap configured to be releasably attachable to the container body and a nozzle configured to allow a composition in the container body to be dispensed through the nozzle;
- and
- b. a supporting structure including a cap-supporting recess configured to receive the cap-and-nozzle assembly, the cap-and-nozzle assembly being oriented when received in the cap supporting recess such that the cap resides above the nozzle, wherein:
- i the cap-and-nozzle assembly is releasably engaged in the cap-supporting recess,
- ii the nozzle is separable from the cap and it is nested inside the cap while the cap is engaged in the cap-supporting recess, and
- iii the cap-and-nozzle assembly is configured to be removable from the cap-supporting recess with the nozzle retained within the cap, and placed onto the container body of the dropper bottle such that tightening of the cap on the container body causes the nozzle to attach to the mouth of the container body.
