Protective bottle enclosure

1. A protective bottle enclosure for enclosing and sealing an open bottle inside the enclosure, the bottle having a bottleneck and an open mouth, the enclosure comprising:

a container including an upper portion having a shoulder, a neck, and an opposed bottom, and a base having a bottom and a sidewall configured to removably couple with the upper portion;

a continuous elastomeric form wrapped within the upper portion and bound between the shoulder and the bottom, the elastomeric form being generally cylindrical;

an external, removable cap configured to removably engage the container, a bottom portion of the cap comprising a stopper and a cylindrical sleeve that partially extends inside of the neck of the upper portion and surrounding a portion of the bottleneck;

wherein the cap is configured to be fully seated against the upper portion of the container and to form a first seal between the cap and the container, the cap being further configured to seal the open mouth of the bottle and the stopper being configured to form a second seal between the cap and the bottle.

2. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the stopper is a compressible pad.

3. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 1 , wherein a flange is formed around the stopper.

4. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising an elastomeric pad applied to the bottom of the base.

5. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive between the elastomeric form and the upper portion.

6. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the opposed bottom of the upper portion is open.

7. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the base threadably engages an external thread formed in a sidewall of the upper portion near the opposed bottom.

8. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the cap threadably engages an internal thread formed in the neck of the upper portion.

9. A protective bottle enclosure for enclosing and sealing a bottle inside the enclosure, the bottle having a bottleneck and an open mouth, the enclosure comprising:

a container including an upper portion having a shoulder and a bottom, a base having a bottom and a sidewall, the base being configured to removably couple with the bottom of the upper portion;

a continuous elastomeric form wrapped within the upper portion and bound between the shoulder and the bottom, the elastomeric form being generally cylindrical;

wherein the container is configured to allow a bottle to be inserted through the bottom of the upper portion into an interior of the container when the base is not coupled to the upper portion;

a removable cap configured to removably engage the container, a bottom portion of the cap comprising a stopper and a cylindrical sleeve that partially extends inside of a neck of the upper portion and surrounding a portion of the bottleneck; and

wherein the cap is configured to be fully seated against the upper portion of the container and to form a first seal between the cap and the container, the cap being further configured to seal the open mouth of the bottle and the stopper being configured to form a second seal between the cap and the bottle.

10. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 9 , wherein the stopper is a compressible pad.

11. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 9 , wherein an annular flange is formed around the stopper.

12. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 9 , further comprising an elastomeric pad applied to the bottom of the base.

13. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 9 , further comprising an adhesive between the elastomeric form and the upper portion.

14. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 9 , wherein the base threadably engages an external thread formed in a sidewall of the upper portion near the bottom.

15. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 9 , wherein the cap threadably engages an internal thread formed in the neck of the upper portion.

16. A protective bottle enclosure for enclosing and sealing a bottle inside the enclosure, the bottle having a bottleneck and an open mouth, the enclosure comprising:

a container including an upper portion having a shoulder and a bottom, and a base having a bottom and a sidewall, the base being configured to removably couple with the upper portion;

a continuous elastomeric form wrapped within the upper portion and bound between the shoulder and the bottom, the elastomeric form being generally cylindrical;

a cap configured to removably engage the container, a bottom portion of the cap comprising a stopper and a cylindrical sleeve that partially extends inside of a neck of the upper portion and surrounding a portion of the bottleneck, the cap being configured to be positionable in a free condition, an applied condition, and a sealed condition;

in the free condition, the cap is configured to not be engaged with the container;

in the applied condition, the cap is configured to be engaged with the container and to form a first seal with the container; and

in the sealed condition, the cap is configured to be fully seated against the container and to form a second seal with the bottle and to form a first seal with the container.

17. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 16 , further comprising an elastomeric pad applied to the bottom of the base.

18. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 16 , wherein in the free condition, an annular gap spaces the mouth of the bottle apart from an annular lip at a top of the upper portion of the container.

19. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 16 , further comprising an adhesive between the elastomeric form and the upper portion.

20. The protective bottle enclosure of claim 16 , wherein the base threadably engages an external thread formed in a sidewall of the upper portion near the bottom.
