Abstract
A bottle cover arranged for securement about an upper portion of a bottle member in a complementary relationship, wherein the bottle cover includes a body cavity and is formed of a fluid absorbing sponge material having a head portion to receive the bottle cap therewithin, with the head portion having a cylindrical cavity, including a cylindrical resilient insert arranged coextensively about an interior wall of the head portion for enhanced engagement of the bottle cap to permit rotation of the bottle cap relative to the associated bottle, with the sponge body arranged to absorb fluid in an overflow from the associated bottle member.
Claims3
A fluid absorbing bottle cover arranged for receiving a bottle member therewithin, with the bottle member having a bottle body and a bottle spout, with the bottle spout including a bottle cap removably mounted relative to the bottle spout, and the bottle cover comprising,
- a sponge body, the sponge body including a continuous side wall and a cylindrical head portion extending from the continuous side wall, with the sponge body symmetrically oriented about a predetermined axis, and the sponge body having a body lower distal end, with a first cylindrical cavity portion directed into the sponge body from the lower distal end, and
- a second conical cavity portion directed from the first cylindrical cavity portion towards the cylindrical head portion, and
- a third conical cavity portion directed from the second conical cavity portion towards the cylindrical head portion, and
- the cylindrical head portion having a fourth cylindrical cavity receiving portion, and
- a cylindrical resilient insert fixedly mounted within the fourth cylindrical cavity receiving portion, and the resilient insert including a beveled lower end, and the resilient insert coextensive with the head portion within the fourth cylindrical cap cavity receiving portion, and
- the continuous side wall includes a side wall exterior surface, and the exterior surface having a cylindrical body recess continuously into the side wall, and concentrically relative to the axis, and the recess including a cylindrical resilient band complementarily and fixedly received within the body recess, and a plurality of stiffening ring members fixedly mounted to the resilient band, with the ring members concentrical relative to the axis.
