Abstract

A personal care bottle with a fluid reservoir defining a chamber for holding a fluid. A fluid port is at a proximal end of the fluid reservoir. A gripping sleeve mounted to the fluid reservoir. The gripping sleeve has a locking tab configured to engage a handle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A personal care bottle comprising:
 a fluid reservoir defining a chamber for holding a fluid;   a fluid port at a proximal end of the fluid reservoir; and   a gripping sleeve mounted to the fluid reservoir, the gripping sleeve having a locking tab configured to engage a handle.   
     
     
         2 . The personal care bottle of  claim 1  wherein the locking tab has an unsupported end spaced apart from an outer surface of the body. 
     
     
         3 . The personal care bottle of  claim 1  the locking tab is positioned along a center line of the sleeve. 
     
     
         4 . The personal care bottle of  claim 1  wherein the locking tab has a stepped region. 
     
     
         5 . The personal care bottle of  claim 1  wherein the locking tab is spaced apart from the fluid port. 
     
     
         6 . A personal care bottle of  claim 1  wherein the fluid reservoir comprises a delaminating bottle containing a liquid composition and a hole extending into the fluid reservoir on an opposite end as the port. 
     
     
         7 . The personal care bottle of  claim 6  wherein the gripping sleeve is joined to the fluid reservoir providing an air gap between the gripping sleeve and the fluid reservoir facilitating evacuation of the delaminating bottle during use. 
     
     
         8 . The personal care bottle of  claim 7  wherein the air gap comprises an opening extending through an outer surface of the gripping sleeve. 
     
     
         9 . A personal care bottle comprising:
 a fluid reservoir defining a chamber, the body having an air hole towards a distal end and a fluid port towards a proximal end;   a delaminating bag positioned within the chamber for holding a liquid composition;   a gripping sleeve positioned over the distal end of the fluid reservoir, wherein the gripping sleeve is joined to the fluid reservoir providing an air gap that is in communication with the air hole of the chamber facilitating evacuation of the delaminating bag.   
     
     
         10 . The personal care bottle of  claim 9  wherein the air gap comprises a hole in the gripping sleeve that is in communication with the air hole of the fluid reservoir. 
     
     
         11 . The personal care bottle of  claim 10  wherein the gripping sleeve has an inner distal end surface that is spaced apart from a distal end of the fluid reservoir providing the air gap allowing evacuation of the delaminating bag during use.
