Abstract

This disclosure relates to a bottle having a top portion comprising an opening, a bottom portion, and a shell portion extending between the top portion and the bottom portion. The top portion includes a sealing part which is arranged to releasable cover the opening. The bottom portion includes a recess such that the bottom portion is dimensioned to receive at least a part of a top portion of another similar bottle. A locking arrangement is included such that the top portion comprises a first locking element and the bottom portion comprises a second locking element for locking the bottle and another similar bottle together.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A bottle, comprising:
 a top portion comprising an opening;   a bottom portion;   a shell portion extending between the top portion and the bottom portion; and   a locking portion; wherein   the top portion further comprises a sealing part arranged to releasable cover the opening;   the top portion, the bottom portion, the shell portion and the sealing part are arranged to define a bottle space;   the bottom portion comprises a recess such that the bottom portion is configured to receive at least a part of a top portion of another similar bottle;   the locking arrangement is arranged such that the top portion comprises a first locking element and the bottom portion further comprises a second locking element for locking the bottle and another similar bottle together;   the first locking element comprises a first friction surface and the second locking element comprises a second friction surface such that the first friction surface is arranged to be locked with the second friction surface when locking the bottle and another similar bottle together;   the sealing part comprises a screw thread portion; and   the first friction surface comprises one or more flexible protrusions arranged to protrude from the outer surface of the screw thread portion of the sealing part, and the second friction surface comprises at least a part of an outer surface of the recess.   
     
     
         2 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the top portion further comprises a neck portion arranged to extend from the opening towards the shell portion, and a taper portion between the neck portion and the shell portion. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the sealing part and the neck portion comprise screw threads such that the sealing part is releasable connected to the neck portion; or   the sealing part further comprises a screw thread portion the neck portion comprises screw threads such that the sealing part is releasable connected to the neck portion, the screw thread portion such that the screw thread portion is arranged perpendicular to the opening and the screw thread portion forms at least a part of an outer surface of the top portion.   
     
     
         4 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the recess comprises a form which is a compatible counter form of at least a part of the top portion; or   the recess comprises a form which is a compatible counter form of at least a part of the neck portion and at least a part of the taper portion; or   the recess comprises a form which is a compatible counter form of at least a part of the sealing part; or   the recess comprises a form which is a compatible counter form of at least a part of sealing part and at least a part of the taper portion.   
     
     
         5 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the taper portion comprises a conical surface such that the taper portion is arranged to taper towards the opening. 
     
     
         6 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the neck portion comprises a right circular cylinder surface. 
     
     
         7 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the recess in the vicinity of the end of the bottle is wider than the top portion in the vicinity of the opening. 
     
     
         8 . A joint for connecting two bottles together, the joint comprising:
 a first bottle and a second bottle, each of the first bottle and the second bottle comprising   a top portion comprising an opening;   a bottom portion;   a shell portion extending between the top portion and the bottom portion;   wherein the top portion further comprises a sealing part arranged to releasable cover the opening of each the first bottle and the second bottle;   wherein the sealing part further comprises a screw thread portion arranged perpendicular to the opening;   wherein the top portion, the bottom portion, the shell portion and the sealing part are arranged to define a bottle space; and   wherein the joint further comprises:
 the bottom portion of the first bottle comprising a recess such that the bottom portion is dimensioned to receive at least a part of a top portion of the second bottle; and 
 a locking arrangement arranged such that the top portion of the first bottle comprises a first locking element and the bottom portion of second bottle comprises a second locking element for locking the first bottle and the second bottle together; such that 
 at least a part of top portion of the first bottle is arranged to be placed inside the recess of the second bottle; 
 the second locking element the second bottle is arranged to be locked with the first locking element of the first bottle for forming a joint; 
 the first locking element of the first bottle comprises a first friction surface which further comprises one or more protrusions arranged to protrude from the outer surface the screw thread portion of the sealing part and the second locking element of the second bottle comprises a second friction surface which further comprises at least a part of an outer surface of the recess; and 
 at least a part of the first locking element is wider than the second locking element such that the first locking element is arranged to squeeze against the second locking element for forming friction between the first locking element and second locking element. 
   
     
     
         9 . The joint according to  claim 8 , wherein at least a part of the first locking element is wider than the second locking element such that the protrusions of the first locking element are arranged to bend for forming friction between the first locking element and second locking element.
