Abstract
A bottle or container having a shape, design or configuration that allows the bottle or container to be efficiently stacked or nestled with an identically shaped bottle rotated 180 degrees. Bundles and packages containing one or more nestled pairs of bottles according to the invention. Methods of making and using the same.
Claims20
A bottle comprising:
- (a) a top,
- (b) a flat bottom,
- (c) three flat sides;
- and
- (d) a curved side,
- wherein said curved side has a shape forming a widest bottle dimension at the flat bottom in a first direction perpendicular to said curved side and a narrowest bottle dimension at said top in said first direction,
- and further provided that said shape is configured such that when such bottle is (i) nestled with an identically shaped bottle which is rotated 180 degrees about said first direction of said bottle and (ii) said flat bottom of said bottle aligned with the top of said rotated identically shaped bottle, the resulting nestled bottles comprise less than one volume percent void space between said bottle and said identically shaped bottle.
A bottle comprising a flat bottom, a top, one curved side and three flat sides, wherein said curved side has a shape forming a widest bottle dimension in a first direction perpendicular to said curved side at the flat bottom and a narrowest bottle dimension in said first direction at said top and wherein said bottle is configured to be packed with another identical inverted bottle resulting in a cuboid comprised of both bottles and having less than 2% void space between the nestled bottles.
A bottle comprising a flat bottom, a top, one curved side and three flat sides, wherein said curved side has a shape forming a widest bottle dimension in a first direction perpendicular to said curved side at the flat bottom and a narrowest bottle dimension in said first direction at said top and further provided that when such bottle is (i) nestled with an identically shaped bottle which is rotated 180 degrees about said first direction of said bottle and (ii) said flat bottom of said bottle aligned with the top of said rotated identically shaped bottle, the resulting nestled bottles comprise less than one volume percent void space between said bottle and said identically shaped bottle.
A bottle having a shape characterized by dividing a rectangular cuboid into two equal halves with a curved cut resulting in two of said bottles each having a flat top, a flat bottom, three flat sides and an identically shaped curved side and said rectangular cuboid having less than 1% void space between the nestled bottles.
