Bottle supporting structure

Abstract

A bottle supporting structure for pivotally supporting a bottle relative to a reference surface, the bottle including a bottle base and a substantially cylindrical liquid containing section extending from the bottle base; the bottle also includes a tapering section leading to a substantially cylindrical neck section. The neck section terminates into a pouring spout. The bottle supporting structure also includes a neck supporting component for supporting the neck section so that the bottle lies substantially on its side in a substantially horizontal orientation. A mounting assembly is provided for mounting the neck supporting component in a spaced relationship relative to the reference surface. The neck supporting component is pivotally attached to the mounting assembly so as to allow the bottle to pivot relative to the reference surface about a substantially vertical pivoting axis in a substantially horizontal pivoting plane.
