Device for attaching a bottle to prevent accidental release
11345424 · 2022-05-31 ·

A device for attaching a bottle to prevent accidental release during use. A base of the device includes a spine support connecting a lower collar and an upper collar. A plurality of pins protrude from an inner surface of the lower collar. The pins can be positioned equidistant from one another. A bottle includes a plurality of channels extending from a bottom portion of the bottle. The channels can have a greater angled lower portion extending into a lesser angled end portion. During use, the bottle is rotated, if needed, up to a quarter of a turn to receive the pins extending from the lower collar into the lower portion of respective channels of the bottle. Once pins meet channels, a slight clockwise turn pulls the bottle to a bottom of the base and secures the bottle to the base as the pins meet the ends of the respective channels. The bottle can be released from the pins with a slight counter-clockwise turn. Alternatively, the base includes a lower support which is received in a corresponding shape of a female receptacle formed in the bottle. The lower support can have a mushroom screw shape. The bottle can be twisted for locking the lower support to the bottle.
