Combined bottle and cap

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a combined bottle and cap showing my new design, wherein the suitability of standing the same on its cap is illustrated;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a combined bottle and cap showing my new design, wherein the suitability of standing the same on its bottom is illustrated;

FIG. 3 is a front view of the combined bottle and cap depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2;

FIG. 4 is a right side view of the combined bottle and cap depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2, the left side view being a mirror image;

FIG. 5 is a rear view of the combined bottle and cap depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2;

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view taken in the direction indicated in FIG. 4 by directional line 6--6;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view taken in the direction indicated in FIG. 4 by directional line 7--7; and,

FIG. 8 depicts an alternate embodiment of the bottle of the combined bottle and cap depicted in FIGS. 1 through 7, and is an identical view to the one shown in FIG. 4, except for having a sidewall that transmits light.

The difference between the bottle shown in FIG. 8 and the bottles shown in FIGS. 1-7 is the added outline of the interior of the bottle, which is shown in dotted lines. These dotted lines, and thus the interior of the bottle depicted in FIG. 8, represent environmental structure and form no part of the claimed design. This depiction of the non-claimed interior of the bottle in FIG. 8 makes clear that, in one embodiment, the bottle to which my claimed design is applied transmits light.

The stipple shading on the insert shown in FIGS. 1-5 & 7-8 indicates a frosted surface.

The broken line showing of a pump top in FIGS. 1-5 & 7-8 is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims
