Package for liquid laundry products

Abstract

A liquid laundry product dispensing bottle is provided of a type not featuring a through-apertured gripping handle. The bottle includes a body having an open end terminating in a circular neck fitted with a pour spout. Along an uppermost perimeter the spout has a leading edge to allow optimum pouring of liquid in one direction. A first and second plane traverses the length of the bottle body with each bisecting the spout, the first and second planes being orthogonally oriented to one another, the first plane dividing front and rear major faces of the body into asymmetric first and second areas, the first area including the leading edge of the spout. A gripping ledge is arranged adjacent the open end beneath the neck and angled diagonally downward. A removable cap is fittable over the neck and spout. The bottle includes several cues to allow a user to properly grip same. These cues include the angled gripping ledge, sidewall curvatures and trademark placement.
