English Abstract


ABSTRACT
There is a problem when one tries to transfer sauces or lotions
or liquids or solids from one bottle to another. If it's not a quick
immediate transfer (like water-which travels quickly and easily
and within seconds), then usually a person places one bottle upside
down on top of another bottle-the one into which the contents will pass.
If you think about a product like ketchup for example, you will
understand that to transfer ketchup from an almost empty bottle,
into another bottle which may have quite a bit of ketchup in it/
or a smaller bottle (for practical reasons), it is quite a messy
procedure.
When one attempts this procedure by trying to balance a ketchup
bottle upside down onto another ketchup bottle, hoping to empty
the left-over contents of the top one into the bottle below, often
the bottle on top falls down due to many causes-including slippage,
vibrations, accidents, and loss of balance.
In this invention, we find a device which fits between the two
bottles, and holds the top bottle in place while its contents
pour out into the bottle below. This device can screw onto the
bottle on the bottom, and then the other bottle can be screwed
into the other side (the top). Then, the top bottle will balance,
as its contents are transfered in their own sweet time- without
messes, spills, frustration......


Claims

Note: Claims are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


CLAIMS
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property
or privalege is claimed are defined as follows:
1. A Bottle Transferer which fits between two bottles or containers-
(one upright, the other upside down, for the purpose of transferring
any transferable form of liquid or solid...from one bottle to the other),
which has two openings, one at either end, and a hole which runs
through the center of the device
2 A Bottle Transferer as defined in claim 1, which is made from plastic
or metal
3 A Bottle Transferer as defined in claims 1 and 2, which has openings
at either end which are round or hexagonical...
4 A Bottle Transferer as defined in claims 1, 2, and 3, in which the
center of the contraption has a hole running through it, in order for
the transfer substance to pass through
5 A Bottle Transferer as defined in claims 1,2,3, and 4, which has
varying sizes , in order for the concept of the device to adapt to
a variety of substance transfers
6 A Bottle Transferer as defined in claims 1,2,3,4, and 5, which has
screw-on ability at both ends, whereas the top can be screwed into
and the bottom can be screwed into
OR the device itself can be screwed onto the bottles or containers
7 A Bottle Transferer as defined in claims 1,2,3,4,5, and 6, which as a variablehas openings of varying sizes which fits tightly onto bottles and
containers without screw-on ability, but instead, with a snug fit

11
CLAIMS Continued
8 A Bottle Transferer as defined by claims 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 7,
in which the sizes of the top and bottom openings are available
in same size versions as well as versions where the top openings is
larger than the bottom opening and as well, where the bottom
opening is larger than the top opening.
9 A Bottle Transferer as defined by claims 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and 8,
in which there are a wide variety of sizes of openings for both
the bottoms and tops, whether or not the device is one that has
same sized openings at either ends, or different sized openings
at either end.
10 A Bottle Transferer as defined by claims 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9,
which can be used, depending on size for the following;
a) transfer of goods between two same sized containers
b) transfer of goods between different sized containers
