Container and method for producing the same

Abstract

A container for a liquid is disclosed, generally comprising an elongate bottle having an exterior wall which defines an elongate internal primary chamber and a primary mouth opening at one end of the bottle in communication with the primary chamber, the other end of the bottle having a recess formed in the exterior wall projecting generally coaxially into the primary chamber to form a secondary chamber isolated therefrom having a secondary mouth opening axially opposite the primary mouth opening; a primary closure adapted to cooperate with the primary chamber for enclosing the primary chamber; a secondary closure adapted to cooperate with the secondary chamber for enclosing the secondary chamber; and a wipe member placed within the secondary chamber. The primary chamber can retain liquid being enclosed therein by the primary closure. The secondary chamber can retain the wipe member being enclosed therein by the secondary closure.

         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the recess is integral with the exterior wall.  
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the exterior wall is comprised of blow molded plastic.  
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the primary closure is comprised of a screw cap.  
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the secondary closure is comprised of a self-adhesive pull tab.  
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the wipe member is comprised of a cloth material.  
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the secondary chamber retains the wipe member and a liquid solution being enclosed therein by the secondary closure.  
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the wipe member is comprised of non-woven paper.  
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the recess is formed in the side of the external wall and projects into the primary chamber to form the secondary chamber isolated therefrom having a secondary mouth opening.  
     
     
         10 . A container comprising: 
 an elongate bottle having an exterior wall which defines an elongate internal chamber and a mouth opening at one end of the bottle in communication with the chamber;    a closure adapted to cooperate with the chamber for enclosing the chamber; and    a single reusable wipe member being at least partially permeated with a liquid and placed within the chamber;    wherein the chamber of the container is sized to retain the single reusable wipe member being at least partially permeated with a liquid and enclosed by the closure.    
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 10  wherein the exterior wall is comprised of a blow molded plastic.  
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 10  wherein the exterior wall is comprised of flexible plastic.  
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 10  wherein the closure is comprised of a self-adhesive pull tab.  
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 10  wherein the wipe member is comprised of a shirt.  
     
     
         15 . A method for producing a container, the method comprising: 
 producing an elongate bottle having an exterior wall which defines an elongate internal chamber and a mouth opening at one end of the bottle in communication with the chamber;    producing a closure adapted to cooperate with the chamber for enclosing the chamber;    placing a single reusable wipe member being at least partially permeated with a liquid within the chamber; and    enclosing the chamber with the closure;    wherein the chamber of the container is sized to retain the single reusable wipe member being at least partially permeated with a liquid.    
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the elongate bottle is produced through blow molding.  
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the exterior wall is comprised of flexible plastic.  
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the closure is comprised of a self-adhesive pull tab.  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the wipe member is comprised of a shirt.  
     
     
         20 . A container for liquid comprising: 
 an elongate bottle having an exterior wall which defines an elongate primary chamber, a mouth opening at one end of the elongate bottle in communication with the primary chamber, and a closed end portion;    an end cap having a cap wall which defines a cap opening at one end of the end cap, a portion of the cap wall adjacent the end cap opening being at least partially attached to the exterior wall of the elongate bottle to form a secondary chamber isolated from the primary chamber bounded by the end cap and the elongate bottle closed end portion;    a closure adapted to cooperate with the elongate bottle mouth opening for enclosing the primary chamber; and    a wipe member placed within the secondary chamber;    wherein the primary chamber is sized to retain liquid and the secondary chamber is sized to retain the wipe member.    
     
     
         21 . The container of  claim 20  further comprising an annular seal joining the end cap to the exterior wall of the elongate bottle.  
     
     
         22 . The container of  claim 21  wherein the annual seal is comprised of an adhesive tape pull strip.  
     
     
         23 . The container of  claim 20  further comprising an annular bead of adhesive joining the end cap to the exterior wall of the elongate bottle.
