Abstract

A bottle housing, bottle housing structure and system for use is disclosed. The bottle housing includes a first member having a top, a first end, and a second end. The bottle housing also includes a second member having a top, a first end, and a second end. The second member is coupled to the first member along respective first ends. The first member and the second member are transitionable between an open position and a closed position. The first member and the second member define a housing cavity when in the closed position. The first member and the second member are configured to house a bottle body in the housing cavity. Respective tops of the first member and the second member are configured to surround a portion of a bottle neck when in the closed position. The bottle housing is configured to receive at least one component therein.

Claims (28)

1. A bottle housing comprising:

a first member having a top, a first end, and a second end, wherein the first member defines an opening; and

a second member having a top, a first end, and a second end, wherein the second member defines an opening, wherein the second member is coupled to the first member along respective first ends, the first member and the second member are transitionable between an open position and a closed position, the first member and the second member defining a housing cavity when in the closed position, the first member and the second member configured to house a bottle body in the housing cavity, wherein the housing cavity is accessible through the openings of the first and second members, wherein respective tops of the first member and the second member define a top opening when in the closed position to receive a portion of a bottle neck and are configured to surround the portion of the bottle neck when in the closed position, and wherein the bottle housing is configured to receive at least one component therein.

2. The bottle housing of claim 1 , wherein the first member and the second member are coupled by a hinge along the respective first ends.

3. The bottle housing of claim 2 , wherein the hinge comprises at least one of a living hinge and a monolithic hinge.

4. The bottle housing of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the top of the first member is disposed above a portion of the bottle body when in the closed position.

5. The bottle housing of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the first member is disposed below a portion of the bottle body when in the closed position.

6. The bottle housing of claim 1 , wherein the first member has a locking element disposed along the second end of the first member, the second member has a receiving element disposed along the second end of the second member, wherein the locking element cooperates with the receiving element to lock and unlock the first member with the second member between the open position and the closed position.

7. The bottle housing of claim 6 , wherein the locking element comprises at least one flange, wherein the at least one flange is disposed along a ledge of the receiving element holding the first member and the second member in the closed position.

8. The bottle housing of claim 1 , wherein the first member includes at least a portion of a base configured to receive the at least one component.

9. The bottle housing of claim 8 , wherein the base has a top surface configured to support the bottle body when in the closed position.

10. The bottle housing of claim 8 , wherein the first member, the second member and the base comprise a monolithic structure.

11. The bottle housing of claim 8 , wherein the base is configured to receive a removable compartment, the removable compartment is configured to receive the at least one component.

12. The bottle housing of claim 11 , wherein the removable compartment is configured to be at least one of slidably inserted into the base and coupled to a sidewall of the base.

13. The bottle housing of claim 12 , wherein the base includes a base edge stop configured to restrict movement of the removable compartment in at least one direction.

14. The bottle housing of claim 11 , wherein the removable compartment is coupled to the base using a biasing finger.

15. The bottle housing of claim 14 , wherein the removable compartment comprises a hook attachment that is configured to receive the at least one component.

16. The bottle housing of claim 14 , wherein the removable compartment comprises a holder attachment that is configured to receive the at least one components.

17. The bottle housing of claim 14 , wherein the removable compartment includes a bottle opener attachment.

18. The bottle housing of claim 1 , wherein the at least one component comprises at least one of a nonwoven fabric, a container, and a woven fabric.

19. A bottle housing system comprising:

a bottle having a bottle body and a bottle neck; and

a bottle housing having a first member and a second member, the first member having a top, a first end, and a second end, wherein the first member defines an opening, the second member having a top, a first end, and a second end, wherein the second member defines an opening, wherein the second member is coupled to the first member along respective first ends, the first member and the second member are transitionable between an open position and a closed position, the first member and the second member defining a housing cavity when in the closed position, the first member and the second member configured to house the bottle body in the housing cavity, wherein the housing cavity is accessible through the openings of the first and second members, wherein respective tops of the first member and the second member define a top opening when in the closed position to receive a portion of the bottle neck and are configured to surround the portion of the bottle neck when in the closed position, and wherein the bottle housing is configured to receive at least one component therein.

20. A method of using a bottle housing comprising:

providing a bottle having a bottle body and a bottle neck;

providing a bottle housing having a first member and a second member, the first member having a top, a first end, and a second end, wherein the first member defines an opening, the second member having a top, a first end, and a second end, wherein the second member defines an opening, wherein the second member is coupled to the first member along respective first ends, the first member and the second member are transitionable between an open position and a closed position, the first member and the second member defining a housing cavity when in the closed position, the first member and the second member configured to house the bottle body in the housing cavity, wherein the housing cavity is accessible through the openings of the first and second members, wherein respective tops of the first member and the second member define a top opening when in the closed position to receive a portion of the bottle neck and are configured to surround the portion of the bottle neck when in the closed position, and wherein the bottle housing is configured to receive at least one component therein;

inserting the bottle body into the housing cavity; and
