An individual beverage bottle, with added convenience features making the bottle easy to open, and provides features to customize, personalize, and/or share in a very hygienic manner and providing a mechanism to secure a cup to the bottle such that an otherwise ordinary cup adapts and screws onto existing beverage containers that can be used to share the beverage or just be able to drink from a cup rather than directly from the bottle wherein, existing bottles can be utilized with very little, if any, extra footprint and minimal retooling. A proprietary labeling system is adapted to the bottle and cup.

A drinking vessel comprises a bottle, a cup, and a cup lid. The bottle has a bottle base, a bottle mouth, and a bottle wall extending between the bottle base and the bottle mouth, the cup comprises a cup base, a cup mouth, and a cup wall, a first face of the cup base and an inner face of the cup wall define a cup volume, the cup volume is suitable for holding a potable beverage, and the inner face of the cup wall extends from the cup base to a free edge of the cup wall which defines the cup mouth. The cup lid is configured to reversibly engage with one or both of the free edge of the cup wall and the portion of the cup wall adjacent the free edge, and the cup lid is configured to close the cup mouth. The cup base and cup wall are so configured that the bottle base and at least a portion of bottle wall fit into the cup volume with the inner face of the cup wall in close proximity to the portion of a bottle wall. The cup further comprises a lid storage recess in which the lid storage recess is defined by a second face of the cup base and an inner face of a recess wall, the second face of the cup base faces away from the cup volume, and the inner face of the recess wall extends from the second face of the cup base away from the cup volume to a recess wall free edge, the recess wall free edge defines a recess mouth. The cup lid comprises a cup wall engaging means, and drinking aperture, and the cup lid and lid storage recess are so configured that the cup lid reversibly engages with the cup lid storage recess so that the cup lid is reversibly retained in the lid storage recess.

A protective cover that closely overlies an exterior surface of an upstanding container for holding liquid has integrally formed portions that are separately removable from the container. Each of two substantially adjacent removable cover portions preferably snugly wraps substantially adjacent surface areas of the container's exterior, and is releasably coupled by a narrow tear-off strip portion of the cover that also perimetrically wraps the container's exterior. One removable cover portion preferably helps to hold a cap in a closed orientation on the container's neck. Another removable cover portion preferably underlies a bottom part of the container's exterior surface, and thereby helps to hold the protective cover in place on the container. Yet another removable cover portion preferably wraps and grips a major part of the container's upstanding sidewall, and forms a disposable funnel when removed from the container's exterior.

A retaining member for use with a vacuum-insulated vessel is described. The retaining member may include a body and a deformable member. The deformable member may have a first layer and a second layer extending from the first layer to a resilient end of the second layer. The resilient end of the second layer may define an opening of the second layer and the opening of the second layer may be aligned with a first aperture of the body and a second aperture of the body, to receive and securely hold a bottle such as a wine bottle within the opening, the first aperture, and the second aperture. The second layer may be resiliently flexible between a first position and a second position of a peripheral edge of the resilient end, to receive and retain bottles having various sizes.

Embodiments are directed to filtration container assemblies and methods of using the same. A filtration container assembly includes an outer container and a plunging assembly. The plunging assembly includes an inner sleeve, a filtration assembly, and a cap assembly having a pressing surface. When the outer container is at least partially filled with liquid, a user can exert pressure on the pressing surface of the plunging assembly to nest the plunging assembly within the outer container, using positive pressure to displace the liquid in the outer container through the filtration assembly into the inner sleeve. In some embodiments, at least a portion of a handle for the filtration container assembly may be a part of the pressing surface.

An automatic self-adjusting beverage container receptacle has a plurality of handles for the end-user to stabilize the receptacle in operation. The receptacle contains a plurality of parallel polygons of flexible bands inside the receptacle that permit a caregiver to easily and quickly insert a beverage container. The bands also stabilize and grip the container in operation to prevent it from shifting or falling out when the receptacle is lifted and tilted by the end user in consuming the beverage. An accessory mounting system permits the rapid attachment of accessories in a temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent fashion, making each receptacle assembly customizable for individual users.

A protective bottle enclosure for removably enclosing a bottle having a bottleneck ending in an open mouth. The enclosure includes a base section, a body, and a removable cap. The base section includes a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top. The body can removably engage the base section to cover the open top thereof. The removable cap includes a cap sidewall and a stopper that can removably engage the open mouth of the bottle. The stopper includes a stopper body and an annular ring extending radially outward from the stopper body. In use, the protective bottle enclosure can surround the bottle and seal the open mouth of the bottle when the base section is engaged with the body and the removable cap is engaged with the neck section.

A customizable container cover device including a first housing shell, a second housing shell, a retention and a retention grid. The first housing shell may include a first ring carve out along its top surface, a plurality of apertures positioned along the edge of the first housing shell, and a first grid portion integrated into a bottom surface of the first housing shell. The second housing shell may include a second ring carve out along its top surface, a plurality of mating tabs attached to an internal surface of the second housing shell and a second grip portion integrated into a bottom surface of the second housing shell. The retention ring may include a first portion configured for insertion in the first ring carve out and a second portion configured for insertion in the second ring carve out. The retention grid may include a first grid portion integrated in a bottom surface of the first housing shell and a second grid portion integrated in a bottom surface of the second housing shell.

A vial blinding assembly includes a vial having a bottle with a constricted neck and an annular shoulder that inwardly extends; a stopper disposed on an opening of the bottle and having a septum with a top surface; and a retainer securing the stopper to the bottle. A tubular blinding shell encircles a compartment that extends between a first end with an inlet opening and an opposing second end with an access opening. A floor plug is secured to the first end of the blinding shell. The vial is disposed within compartment of the blinding shell with the vial being supported by the floor plug and the neck passing through the access opening so that the top surface of the septum is disposed outside of the compartment of the blinding shell, the shoulder of the vial having an outside diameter larger than a diameter of the access opening.

A gripping attachment (10) is disclosed which facilitates the handling of a medication bottle (12). The medication bottle includes a container (14) having a cylindrical wall (16) extending parallel to a longitudinal axis. The container is closed at one end by a base wall (18) and has an opposed open end. The container receives a cap (20) on the open end to enclose the container. The gripping attachment comprises a sleeve portion (22) having a sleeve wall (24) defining an internal, cylindrical surface configured to removably attach to the container wall. The gripping attachment further comprises a leverage component connected to the sleeve portion to facilitate gripping the sleeve portion.
