Abstract
This present invention relates to a neck and upper body bottle connection system which allows two bottles/containers of any size or shape to be connected top to bottom with increased stability which is achieved using a combination of stability and attachment elements. The upper body of the bottle/container is inserted into the bottom of another bottle/container prepared for it. The inserted presence of the upper body of the inserting bottle/container into its host provides increased stability for the connection system against external loads while the neck which forms the opening of the bottle/container is made to attach/fasten to the bottom of the host after insertion with the use of fastening mechanisms. The upper body can also work with the neck or alone to provide the attachment/fastening element when required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] In FIG. 1, the neck and upper body bottle/container connection system include a neck 1 which could serve as part of the connection system as well as the opening for the bottle/container through which contents are added. In instances where the neck 1 forms part of the attachment mechanism used to hold the connection in place, the neck 1 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive. The upper body 2 which also is part of the main body 3 that receives the desired bottle/container content also forms part of the connection system along with the neck 1. The upper body 2 which can be of any shape such as cylindrical or its variant is inserted into the bottom of the host bottle/container 6 prepared for such insertion 5. The upper body 2 is inserted in a manner that fits loosely or tightly to the bottom of its host bottle/container to provide increased stability to the connection system. The upper body 2 can in addition to providing stability through its insertion in the bottom of its host bottle/container 6 also together with the neck 1 or alone, be part of the attachment mechanism that holds the connection system in place. In instances where the upper body 2 is used is used along with the neck 1 or alone to hold the connection in place the upper body 2 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive. FIG. 1 can be both host and inserting bottle/container.
[0015] In FIG. 2, the neck and upper body bottle/container connection system include a neck 1 which could serve as part of the connection system as well as the opening for the bottle/container through which contents are added. In instances where the neck 1 forms part of the attachment mechanism used to hold the connection in place, the neck 1 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive. The upper body 7 which also is part of the main body 3 that receives the desired bottle/container content also forms part of the connection system along with the neck 1. The upper body 7 which can be of any shape such as hemispherical or its variant is inserted into the bottom of the host bottle/container 9 prepared for such insertion 8. The upper body 7 is inserted in a manner that fits loosely or tightly to the bottom of its host bottle/container to provide increased stability to the connection system. The upper body 7 can in addition to providing stability through its insertion in the bottom of its host bottle/container 9 also together with the neck 1 or alone, be part of the attachment mechanism that holds the connection system in place. In instances where the upper body 7 is used is used along with the neck 1 or alone to hold the connection in place the upper body 7 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive. FIG. 2 can be both host and inserting bottle/container.
[0016] In FIG. 3, the neck and upper body bottle/container connection system include a neck 1 which could serve as part of the connection system as well as the opening for the bottle/container through which contents are added. In instances where the neck 1 forms part of the attachment mechanism used to hold the connection in place, the neck 1 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive. The upper body 10 which also is part of the main body 3 that receives the desired bottle/container content also forms part of the connection system along with the neck 1. The upper body 10 which can be of any shape such as conical or its variant is inserted into the bottom of the host bottle/container 12 prepared for such insertion 11. The upper body 10 is inserted in a manner that fits loosely or tightly to the bottom of its host bottle/container to provide increased stability to the connection system. The upper body 10 can in addition to providing stability through its insertion in the bottom of its host bottle/container 12 also together with the neck 1 or alone, be part of the attachment mechanism that holds the connection system in place. In instances where the upper body 10 is used is used along with the neck 1 or alone to hold the connection in place the upper body 10 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive. FIG. 3 can be both host and inserting bottle/container.
[0017] In FIG. 4, the neck and upper body bottle/container connection system described in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 can have a main body of any size and height 13. Either the host and/or inserting bottle/container can be of a long main body 13 or a short main body as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. These different bottle/container main body lengths can be connected using the neck and upper body bottle/container connection system irrespective of the lengths. The elongated main body example of the neck and upper body bottle/container connection system in FIG. 4 include a neck 1 which could serve as part of the connection system as well as the opening for the bottle/container through which contents are added. In instances where the neck 1 forms part of the attachment mechanism used to hold the connection in place, the neck 1 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive. The upper body 10 which also is part of the elongated main body 13 that receives the desired bottle/container content also forms part of the connection system along with the neck 1. The upper body 10 which can be of any shape such as conical or its variant is inserted into the bottom of the host bottle/container 12 prepared for such insertion 11. The upper body 10 is inserted in a manner that fits loosely or tightly to the bottom of its host bottle/container to provide increased stability to the connection system. The upper body 10 can in addition to providing stability through its insertion in the bottom of its host bottle/container 12 also together with the neck 1 or alone, be part of the attachment mechanism that holds the connection system in place. In instances where the upper body 10 is used is used along with the neck 1 or alone to hold the connection in place the upper body 10 surface is treated appropriately. Such attachment mechanism includes but is not limited to screwing action, clipping action, vacuum action, magnetic action, friction or adhesive.
