Abstract

A bottle coupling device for connecting a first bottle to a second bottle is provided. The first bottle has a first threaded opening and the second bottle has a second threaded opening. The first bottle holds a first substance and the second bottle holds a second substance. The bottle coupling device comprises a hollow female coupling having an outer surface and an inner surface with a first end and a second end. The inner surface of the first end and the second end are threaded. The first opening of the first bottle is threadably connectable to the first end of the female coupling and the second opening of the second bottle is threadably connectable to the second end of the female coupling. Wherein the second substance is transferrable to the first bottle through the female coupling.

Claims (30)

1. A bottle coupling device for connecting a first bottle to a second bottle, the first bottle having a first threaded opening, the second bottle having a second threaded opening, the first bottle holding a first substance, the second bottle holding a second substance, the bottle coupling device comprising:

a hollow female coupling having an outer surface and an inner surface, the female coupling having a first end and a second end, the inner surface of the first end being threaded, the inner surface of the second end being threaded;

wherein the first opening of the first bottle is threadably connectable to the first end of the female coupling;

wherein the second opening of the second bottle is threadably connectable to the second end of the female coupling; and

wherein upon threadably connecting the first threaded opening of the first bottle to the first end of the female coupling and the second threaded opening of the second bottle to the second end of the female coupling, the second substance is transferrable to the first bottle through the female coupling

further comprising:

a hollow male coupling having an outer surface and an inner surface, the male coupling having a first end and a second end, the inner surface and the outer surface of the first end of the male coupling being threaded, the inner surface and the outer surface of the second end of the male coupling being threaded;
