Device for maintaining bottles in an inverted position

Abstract

Devices for maintaining bottles in an inverted position generally include a platform having a substantially planar bottom side, and a top side defining a plurality of cylindrical cavities that extend downwardly. The cavities releaseably receive the mouth-end of bottles, so bottles can be stored in the inverted position, thereby maximizing the volume of product that one can extract from a bottle.

1 . A device for releasably securing a plurality of bottles by the mouth-ends, said device including body having a top side defining a plurality of cylindrical cavities, and a substantially planar bottom side, said cavities each having a clearance diameter of approximately 1″ to approximately 2.5″. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein each of said cavities has an approximate clearance diameter selected from the group consisting of 1″, 1.25″, 1.5″ and 2.5″. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  further including interstitial space between proximal cavities, said interstitial space substantially planar. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said body is approximately 1″ thick. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said body is approximately 12″ long and 5.5″ wide. 
     
     
         6 . A system for maximizing the volume of product that can be extracted from a bottle, said system including:
 a. A bottle having a base-end, a neck adjoining said base-end, and a mouth-end adjoining said neck, wherein the diameter of said mouth-end is narrower than the diameter of said base-end; and   b. A device including at least one cavity for receiving the mouth-end of said bottle, said cavity having a clearance diameter of approximately 1″ to approximately 2.5″.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6  wherein said device further includes a substantially planar bottom side. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6  including a plurality of cylindrical cavities, the centerpoint of each of said cavities being spaced approximately 1 ⅛″ to approximately 1 ¾″ one from another. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 6  further including a refrigerator, said refrigerator enclosing said device. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 6  further including a cabinet or bathing structure, said structures enclosing said device.
