BOTTLE WITH EXPANSION CHAMBER AND PINCH GRIPS

摘要

An embodiment of a beverage bottle can have a bottle body defining an interior space configured for storing a beverage. The bottle can include a neck, for example, having an inner neck portion extending from the body. The neck can have an expansion chamber extending beyond the inner portion opposite the body. The neck defines an interior channel in fluid communication with the interior space and extending through the inner portion and expansion chamber to an outlet of the bottle for filling the interior space and pouring the beverage out therefrom. In one embodiment, the interior channel in the inner portion has a first cross-sectional area that leads into the expansion chamber, with the channel in the expansion chamber having a second cross-sectional area that is significantly larger than the first cross-sectional area. This difference in cross-sectional areas can be used to significantly slow the rise of the beverage level in the expansion chamber as the bottle is filled.
