Description
- The present invention relates generally to beverage bottles and, more specifically, to a beverage bottle adapted for promotional use having a peelable and resealable storage compartment.
- Promotional products are commonly used by businesses to increase public awareness of their goods and services. In respect to packaged foods, such as cereals and potato chips, manufacturers can easily include the promotional products within the packaging at the time of manufacture. Following the purchase of such packaged foods, the consumer may open the packaging and remove the promotional product for their use and enjoyment. Thus far, manufacturers have not been provided with a suitable approach for providing promotional products with liquid beverages. An existing approach is to secure the promotional product to a hang tag around the neck portion of the beverage bottle when the liquid beverage is offered to the general public. Manufacturers have discovered that this approach is problematic for the reason that consumers may easily remove the promotional product from the beverage bottle without having to purchase the associated beverage bottle.
- Promotional products are increasingly used at sporting and entertainment events to encourage spectators to attend and support the participants in the subject event. In view of the increased security conditions at most public sporting and entertainment events, spectators are routinely not permitted to bring banners and other novelty promotional products to the events. Without banners or novelty promotional products, spectators are often unable to fully enjoy and participate in the excitement of sporting and entertainment events.
- In view of the foregoing, there is a need for an improved beverage bottle having a storage compartment in which a promotional product can be readily disposed while being easily opened and resealed by a simple pressure seal portion. It is advantageous to provide a beverage bottle having a promotional product disposed within a storage compartment to prevent the dislocation of such promotional products during the commercial handling of the beverage bottle and to instill consumer confidence in the integrity of the promotional product accompanying the beverage bottle. There is also a need for a beverage bottle having a promotional product for use by manufacturers and other commercial entities in conjunction with promotional and advertising campaigns at sporting and entertainment events. The beverage bottle of the present invention may also be used by a consumer in a conventional manner to quench their thirst and thereby further enhance their enjoyment of the sporting or entertainment event.
- The present invention comprises a beverage bottle particularly adapted for promotional use having a body portion having a sidewall portion extending vertically between a neck portion and a base portion, the sidewall portion having a flange portion which peripherally defines a cavity portion, the cavity portion extending a predetermined depth inwardly of the plane of the sidewall portion. A seal portion is disposed over the flange portion and cavity portion of the body portion to sealably enclose the cavity portion, the seal portion provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive for sealing the seal portion to the flange portion. The pressure sensitive adhesive enabling the seal portion to be peeled from and resealed to the flange portion of the body portion. A promotional product removably sealed within a storage compartment defined by the cavity portion and the seal portion, the promotional product being frictionally retained within the cavity portion and spaced apart from the seal portion so as to prevent the deformation of the seal portion during the commercial handling of the beverage bottle.
- In a further aspect of the present invention, the cavity portion is defined by a
cavity edge 30 extending substantially inwardly from the sidewall portion of the body portion to a recessed cavity wall. The plane of the cavity wall of the cavity portion is substantially co-planar with the sidewall portion of the body portion. The dimensions of the cavity portion substantially conform to the dimensions of the promotional product so as to frictionally engage the promotional product within the cavity portion. - In a further aspect, the flange portion and the pressure sensitive adhesive on the seal portion separate when the storage compartment is peeled open, and wherein the flange portion and the pressure sensitive adhesive on the seal portion adhere when the storage compartment is resealed. The material strength of the seal portion is greater than the adhesive strength of the pressure sensitive adhesive to prevent tearing when the seal portion is peeled from and sealed to the beverage bottle. The seal portion is adhered to the flange portion of the body portion to form a seal around the cavity portion so that the storage compartment is substantially sealed to exclude air and water.
- In another aspect of the present invention, the promotional product is sealed within the storage compartment so as not to dislodge uncontrollably during the commercial handling of the beverage bottle. The cavity portion is fractionally longer than the promotional product to enable the finger grasping and removal of the promotional product from the cavity portion. The seal portion is substantially durable to resist impact forces against the body portion and the promotional product during the commercial handling of the beverage bottle. The seal portion may be manufactured from a flexible foil material or a flexible plastic material.
- For a better understanding of the present invention, and to show more clearly how it may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a beverage bottle illustrating a storage compartment containing a promotional products in a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
