Storage bottle

Abstract

Storage bottles are generally discussed herein with specific discussions extended to storage bottles having a round body section and a base with at least one straight edge. In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, the base comprises four straight edges and four generally right comers. A transition section is disposed between the round body section and the base, which has a configuration that is neither generally circular or generally square.

1 . A storage bottle assembly comprising a cap and a storage bottle, said storage bottle comprising a bottle neck, a body section defining a longitudinal axis, and a base, wherein the body section comprises a wall surface having a generally circular cross section as measured from the longitudinal axis; and wherein the base comprises four edges defining a generally square configuration.  
   
   
       2 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the storage bottle is made from glass.  
   
   
       3 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cap is made from a plastic material.  
   
   
       4 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the plastic is an ABS material.  
   
   
       5 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the storage bottle further comprises a transition section disposed between the body section and the base.  
   
   
       6 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the transition section comprises a configuration that is neither circular or square.  
   
   
       7 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the storage bottle is made from a plastic material.  
   
   
       8 . A storage bottle assembly comprising a cap and a storage bottle, said storage bottle comprising a bottle neck, a body section defining a longitudinal axis, a base, and a transition section disposed therebetween; wherein the body section comprises a wall surface having a generally circular cross section as measured from the longitudinal axis; and wherein the base comprises four edges comprising four right comers.  
   
   
       9 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the storage bottle is made from glass.  
   
   
       10 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the cap is made from a plastic material.  
   
   
       11 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the plastic is an ABS material.  
   
   
       12 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the transition section comprises a configuration that is neither circular or square.  
   
   
       13 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the storage bottle is made from a plastic material.  
   
   
       14 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the cap comprises an upper taper section and a lower taper section.  
   
   
       15 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the upper taper section tapers radially inwardly as it extends distally towards a cap opening and wherein the lower taper section tapers radially inwardly as it extends proximally towards a cap top surface.  
   
   
       16 . The storage bottle assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the four edges define a generally square configuration.  
   
   
       17 . A method for forming a bottle assembly, said method comprising: 
 forming a cap comprising internal threads;    forming a storage bottle, said storage bottle comprising a bottle neck, a body section defining a longitudinal axis, and a base, wherein the body section comprises a wall surface having a generally circular cross section as measured from the longitudinal axis; and wherein the base comprises four edges defining a generally square configuration; and    placing the cap over the bottle neck.    
   
   
       18 . The method as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the storage bottle is formed from a glass material.  
   
   
       19 . The method as recited in  claim 17 , further comprising a transaction section disposed between the body section and the base.  
   
   
       20 . The method as recited in  claim 18 , wherein the transition section comprises a configuration that is neither circular or square.
