Shaker bottle with magnetic elements for temporary securement to exercise equipment
A protein shaker bottle or similar beverage container that has one or more magnets on its outer surface. The magnets allow for the shaker bottle to magnetically adhere to a metallic or ferrous surface. The inventive bottle allows a user to quickly and temporarily adhere the bottle to a piece of gym equipment on a gym floor.

a container portion comprising:
an upper lip;
a floor surface;
a sidewall that longitudinally connects the upper lip to the floor surface, the sidewall sloping inwardly from the upper lip to the floor surface;
a projection portion extending from the sidewall, the projection portion comprising:
a top wall extending laterally from the sidewall at a first distance from the upper lip, and a bottom wall extending laterally from the sidewall at a second distance from the floor surface, wherein the bottom wall extends farther in a lateral direction than the top wall, the top and bottom walls of the projection portion terminate in a substantially flat platform;
the flat platform being at an angle to the sidewall and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bottle; and
one or more magnets disposed on the platform, wherein the one or more magnets include a front face which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bottle.
2. The bottle of claim 1 , further comprising one or more slots in the platform that receives the one or more magnets.
3. The bottle of claim 2 , wherein the one or more slots is one or more recessed areas.
4. The bottle of claim 2 , further comprising two slots and a magnet seated in each slot.
5. The bottle of claim 1 , wherein the one or more magnets are disc-shaped.
6. The bottle of claim 1 , comprising at least a first upper magnet and a second lower magnet.
7. The bottle of claim 6 , wherein the first upper magnet is disposed substantially directly above the second lower magnet when the bottle is in an upright position.
8. The bottle of claim 1 , wherein the one or more magnets and the flat platform are substantially coplanar.
9. The bottle of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall that connect the upper lip to the floor surface slopes as it descend from the upper lip to the floor surface.
10. The bottle of claim 1 , wherein the flat platform of the projection portion is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bottle.
11. The bottle of claim 1 , further comprising a series of grooves provided on the sidewall.
12. The bottle of claim 11 , wherein the series of grooves is oriented substantially parallel to the floor surface of the container portion.
13. The bottle of claim 11 , further comprising a cover that has a spout, and wherein the spout is substantially aligned with a portion of the sidewall.
14. The bottle of claim 1 , wherein the projection portion is positioned substantially halfway between the upper lip and the floor surface.
