BACKGROUND

Metal and plastic have been used to contain drinks that have effervescent properties that require pressure to preserve them for a longer shelf life. Sophisticated kegs, bottles, and cans are employed today which have additives like nitrogen, or carbon dioxide that require tightly sealed containers that are kept under pressure. Attempts have been made to address the issue of storing these goods to retain some semblance of the freshness that they had before they were opened and partially consumed. Usually this requires a large container like a keg.
The design of the invention shows a more simple approach to the problem of dispensing and maintaining an effervescent beverage fresher for a longer period of time after it has been opened. However, the benefits of the bottle system don't end there. Another problem that the bottle system offers a solution for, is the dispensing of thick substances that have viscous properties. Sometimes these substances can be difficult to remove from their containers. What the bottle system offers is a solution for the removal of such substances in a more efficient and easier manner, by compressing them outward from within.
The bottle can be made of polyethylene terephthalate which is a common standard for soft drink bottles to date. Given the properties of polyethylene terephthalate the inner bladder liner can also be made of polyethylene terephthalate or a similar material, but with thinner walls. Experimentation will have to be conducted by the manufacturer.

SUMMARY

It is the objective of the invention to provide a vessel that will contain consumable liquids that have effervescent properties, such as carbonated soft drinks, effervescent wines, and beers. Further use of the invention can be employed when viscous substances will be the choice content of the invention. When effervescent drinks are the choice content used, the purpose of the invention is to remove the excess air that has been left in a bottle after it has been opened and partially used. This is achieved by rotating the base of a bottle that is connected to a tab at the bottom of an inner bladder liner that is contained inside a bottle. By removing the excess air from a bottle the contents are maintained fresher for a longer period of time, by preventing the carbonation properties of the content from expanding into the empty air space in the bottle.
When the contents of the bottle employs a viscous substance such as toothpaste, mayonnaise, ketchup, or caulking compounds, the bottle plays a different role. When the contents of the bottle have viscous properties, the bottle is designed to rotate the base either to the left or to the right. When the base is rotated, it actuates a tab at the bottom of the inner bladder liner inside the bottle. This rotation makes the tab turn thereby twisting the inner bladder liner inside the bottle. Twisting the inner bladder liner begins from the bottom first, forcing the contents in the bottle to move upward to the opening at the top of the bottle.
The ratchet and pawl effect created when the protrusions inside the base interface with the indents near the bottom of the bottle, this is designed in this manner to keep the base and the inner bladder liner where they are placed, and prevent them from moving on their own. This assures that the contents within the bottle will maintain a constant upward pressure from below the bottle, thereby facilitating the removal of the contents in a most efficient and easier manner.
When the contents of the bottle is something of the nature of toothpaste, an opening near the top portion of the bottle's side wall is employed, to further remove the contents in a more controlled and in smaller amounts, by pressing the exposed portion of the inner bladder liner with the fingers.
The bottle is further enhanced by creating a removable bottom that screws onto the bottom of the body of the bottle. This facilitates in the removal and insertion of the inner bladder liner, and also makes the bottle more cost effective and eco-friendly. Rather that buying the entire bottle system every time the bottle needs replacing, instead, all the consumer needs to purchase is the inner bladder liner. Added to the bottle is an additional removable bottle neck. A notch and a chip that are similar in function to a ball and detent system, has also been added, and its intended purpose is to keep the inner bladder liner in place at the top of the bottle and prevent it from turning when the inner bladder liner has been twisted from the bottom. The bottle has also been fitted with caps that are created in two parts. The first part of the caps screw onto the top of the removable bottle neck and by so doing compresses the notch and chip together forcing them to lock with one another. The second cap is smaller in size and screws onto the end of the first cap. The purpose of the smaller cap is to seal the contents in the bottle when it is not in use. This same result in capping the bottle system can be achieved by using the same flip-top caps found on many toothpaste tubes. The bottle system has further been enhanced for a specific purpose when a gun type action is required, for instance, when the contents within the bottle is caulking compound, a handle with a trigger action is employed to facilitate in the removal of the contents within. All of the combined features listed, create an entire bottle system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 13, show a bottle 14, made of polyethylene terephthalate, that can also be made of polypropylene or various other plastics depending on its intended contents. The bottle is intended for the storing and dispensing of effervescent drinks, but can also be used effectively for the storing and dispensing of viscous substances. The bottle is cylindrical in shape, tapering off into a rounded form at the bottom. The bottle has a shoulder 35, tapering into an elongated neck 27, at the top with the neck finally terminating into an opening. The neck of the bottle has threading 28, for the purpose of applying a screw-on cap 17. The bottle employs a system of indents 22. The indents work to restrict the movement of the rotating base 16, when they interface with the protrusions 24, located along the inside wall of the rotating base. The side of the rotating base is crimped, creating a base indentation 31. This is done to contour the rotating base inward bringing the protrusions in close proximity to the indents on the bottle. The purpose of the indents and the protrusions is to create a ratchet and pawl effect so that when the rotating base is moved it turns a tab 18, that is attached to the bottom of an inner bladder liner 15. When the tab is turned, the inner bladder liner is twisted beginning at the bottom first, thereby compressing the inner bladder liner and forcing the contents of the bottle to move upwards towards the threaded opening located at the top of the bottle. Once the said base is turned to a new position, it will be held there in this new position by the said indents and protrusions thereby keeping the said inner bladder liner from turning backwards on its own, and by so doing maintain a constant upward pressure of the contents. This system is advantageous in the soft drink industry, because by removing the excess air in the bottle, it keeps the contents in the bottle fresher for a longer period of time.
The bottle system also works well when it is used with thick or viscous substances. When the rotating base 16, is turned it forces these thick substances up towards the opening at the top of a bottle. By pre-squeezing the contents in a bottle and not allowing the contents to flow back into the empty air space that remains in a container, (when some of the initial contents have been expended), it allows for the removal of the contents in a more efficient manner. A good example of these contents is toothpaste, that is by nature more difficult to remove from a container.
FIGS. 1, 2, 4, show how the protrusions 24, on the rotating base 16, interface with the indents 22, on the bottle 14, to lock the base onto the bottle and keep it from turning on it own.
FIGS. 1, 2 show how the retaining ring 26, is cradled in the holding cup 20, with the tab 18, protruding through both the retaining ring and the holding cup.
FIG. 4, illustrate a view of a bottle 14, in dotted outline form. Also shown is a cutaway view of the rotating base 16, and a screw on cap 17. The purpose of this illustration is to show how the bottle 14, is engaged by the protrusions 24, on the base. Note how the protrusions 24, on the left and right of the bottle partially extend into the bottle. The said retaining ring at the bottom of the bottle has purposely been omitted from this view so as not to confuse it with the holding cup located on the bottom, inside, and center surface of the rotating base.
FIGS. 1, 5, 6, 7, 7 a, 8, 10, 13, show an inner bladder liner 15. The inner bladder liner is a collapsible plastic bag that is inserted into a bottle, via the bottle neck 27, that is open at the top of the bottle. The inner bladder liner has a thin flat bladder rim 29, at the top opening of the inner bladder liner. The bladder rim supersedes in size the opening at the top of the said bottle where it can be heat onto the bottle. The bladder rim is designed so that it can rest on top of the bottle neck 27, therefore preventing the inner bladder liner from being pulled into the bottle. The inner bladder liner has a size and shape that is contoured to the inside surface of the bottle. The inner bladder liner consists of a bladder rim 29, a bladder neck 33, and bladder shoulder 36. The inner bladder liner has straight walls that taper into a rounded form at the bottom, and
finally ending at the bottom of the inner bladder liner with a tab 18, that has a node 25, on both sides. The inner bladder liner can be further enhanced by scoring 39, it in such a way that the inner bladder liner will collapse like a billows when it is rotated, very much the same way an accordion is collapsed. The wall of the inner bladder liner can be scored more than half of its length, to facilitate in the twisting and collapsing of the inner bladder liner. It may also be preferable that the inner bladder liner be made of the same material polyethylene terephthalate as the bottle itself, but in a thinner gauge. Given the properties of polyethylene terephthalate of tinsel strength and its ability to maintain its shape with a minimal of stretching, it would keep the expansion of the inner bladder liner to a minimum.
FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, illustrate how the bottle 14, employs a flange groove 23, and flange 21, creating a system to guide and maintain the rotating base 16, of the bottle in its place. The rotating base is circumvented by a flange along the top rim. The flange is a tight fit that snaps onto a flange groove that encircles the lower portion of the bottle. The flange and flange groove assures that the bottle and rotating base maintain constant contact with one another without separating from
each other. The flange and flange groove also serve as a guide for the rotating base when it is rotated around the bottle.
FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 13, To further assure that the rotating base remains securely attached to the bottle, a retaining ring 26, is formed at the very bottom of the bottle.
FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, show how the retaining ring 26, is engaged by a holding cup 20, that is located on the inside and bottom center of the rotating base at the crest of the base depression 30. The retaining ring is snap-fitted onto the holding cup where it is firmly held in place. The holding cup and retaining ring further aid in guiding the rotating base when it is actuated.
FIG. 9, shows a retaining ring hole 34. The purpose of this hole is to allow the tab 18, to pass through it. The retaining ring hole is round in shape so that the tab may be turned freely without hindrance when it is inserted through the retaining ring hole.
FIGS. 9, 12, illustrate a tab hole 19, located at the center of the holding cup 20. This hole is rectangular in shape, elongated, and narrow to fit the shape and dimensions of the tab body. The tab is press fitted through the tab hole where it is engaged by the rotating base.
FIGS. 4, 10, 11, 13, further illustrate a cutaway view of a tab hole 19, situated at the center of the holding cup 20.
FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, show the base depression 30. The base depression is a portion of the base that is raised into the inside part of the base located at the bottom of the base. Its purpose is to raise the holding cup up to the bottle so that it can engage with the tab 18, that extends downward from the bottom of the bottle.
FIG. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, illustrate the nodes 25, on the tab 18. The nodes sole purpose is to assure that the tab 18, is not drawn up into the bottle 14, after the inner bladder liner 15, is twisted inside the bottle. This is achieved by forcing the tab and nodes through the tab hole located on the top of the base depression 30 of the rotating base 16. Once the tab and nodes are pressed through the tab hole, the tab hole 19, restricts the tab from sliding back up into the bottle, by catching the nodes on the outside and bottom surface of the tab hole.
FIG. 10, shows a cutaway view of an inner bladder liner 15, at the top of the page. This is indicated with arrows to show how the inner bladder liner will be joined with the bottle 14, illustrated as a cutaway view at the center of the page. At the bottom of the page is a cutaway view of the rotating base also indicating with arrows to show how the bottle will fit into the base. Once the inner bladder liner is inserted into the
bottle, said tab 18, and nodes 25, will protrude from the bottom center of the bottle through the retaining ring hole 34. When the inner bladder liner is in place, the bottle is lowered and press fitted onto the rotating base where the flange 21, and flange groove 23, lock the bottle onto the rotating base. At this stage the bottle is also locked into place by the retaining ring 26, and holding cup 20. Once this is achieved the tab 18, is locked into place in the tab hole 19.
FIG. 13, shows a view of a bottle 14, with the rotating base 16, and cap 17, set aside. Further illustrating a bladder squeeze opening 32, located on the side wall of a bottle. The purpose of the bladder squeeze opening is to facilitate in the removal of the contents in the bottle, when the contents are of a viscous substance. This is very useful for a more controlled removal of products like toothpaste. When the contents in the bottle are depleted, the rotating base is turned to push the contents in the bottle upward. Once the contents are compressed to a desired level by the user, the inner bladder liner 15, can be pressed with the fingers through the bladder squeeze opening 32, to facilitate in the removal of the contents in the bottle in smaller and more controlled amounts.
FIG. 13A, shows a cutaway view of a bottle 14, indicated by three vertical arrows pointing downward to illustrate how the bottle will be lowered into the base 16. It also shows a variation of the ratchet and pawl effect of the bottle by producing base serration 38, on the inside wall of the base 16, as well as bottle serration 37, near the bottom of the bottle that match and complement the serration on the base. This provides greater control of how far the base can be turned in smaller increments. The illustration also shows a magnified view of the base serration to indicate where and how the base serration is located in the base.
FIG. 14 through 42 shows a modified version of a bottle as illustrated in FIG. 1 through 13A.
FIG. 14, is a view of a bottle upper half 14 a. At the top of the bottle upper half is the top threading 45, that is designed to engage and thread into the removable bottle neck 27 a. The removable bottle neck is designed to screw onto the bottle upper half 14 a, and by so doing facilitates in locking the inner bladder liner onto the bottle system at the top of the bottle upper half. This is achieved when the bladder neck 33, is passed through the removable bottle neck and the bladder rim 29, is seated on top of the removable bottle neck. After the bladder rim is seated into place the lower cap 17 a, is threaded onto the removable bottle neck thereby compressing the bladder rim down onto the removable bottle neck where the chip 43, and notch 44, engage and lock the top of the inner bladder liner thereby keeping it from turning when the inner bladder liner is twisted from below. Below the top threading, the bottle expands out to form the bottle shoulder 35. The bottle upper half extends straight downward from the bottle shoulder to form the walls of the bottle. Just before the open bottom 42, there is the bottom threading 14 b, that circumvents the bottle upper half. The purpose of the bottom threading is to engage and thread onto the lower bottle half 40. Further, is a fully inflated inner bladder liner 15, partially inserted through the bottom of the bottle upper half 14 a.
FIG. 15, the inner bladder liner is shown completely inserted into the bottle upper half.
FIG. 16, is a view of a bottle upper half 14 a, showing a fully inflated inner bladder liner 15, completely inserted into the bottle upper half. Below the inner bladder liner is the lower bottle half 40. The purpose of the said, lower bottle half is to allow access into the said bottle upper half so that the inner bladder liner 15, can be inserted into the bottle. The lower bottle half is open at the top with the lower bottle half threading 41, that circumvents the lower bottle half just below the open top 46. A flange groove 23, has been added to the lower bottle half to engage the rotating base 16. Below the flange groove are indents 22, and below the indents there is a retaining ring 26. Also this Illustration is shown with arrows to indicate how the lower bottle half will be raised up and thread into the bottle upper half, and by so doing encloses the inner bladder liner.
FIG. 17, is shown with the lower bottle half fully threaded into place with the upper bottle half. Further can be seen the bladder neck 33, protruding from and above the top threading 45, and above the bladder neck is the bladder rim 29, and chip 43. The chip is situated strategically so that it will engage with a notch 44, that is located at the top of the removable bottle neck 27 a. When the chip 43, is seated in the notch 44, the lower cap is screwed into place thereby pressing the chip into the notch and by so doing locks and keeps the top of the inner bladder liner from twisting at the top when the inner bladder liner is twisted from the bottom. At the bottom of the illustration the tab 18, and nodes 25, can be seen protruding from below the retaining ring 26.
FIG. 18, is a view of a bottle upper half 14 a, shown with the bladder neck protruding from the top, with the bladder rim 29, and chip 43, above it. Below the bottle upper half can be seen the lower bottle half securely threaded into place. This illustration shows a cutaway view of the base and it is indicated with arrows to show how it will be raised onto the lower bottle half
FIG. 19, is a view of a bottle showing a cutaway view of the base that has been attached and snapped onto the lower bottle half.
FIG. 20, is a view of a bottle upper half 14 a. This illustration shows the base 16, detached from the lower bottle half 40, and is indicated with arrows to show that it will be raised and snapped onto the lower bottle half
FIG. 21, shows the base 16, snapped into place.
FIG. 22, is a view of a bottle upper half 14 a, showing a cutaway view of the base 16, and it is indicated with arrows to show that it will be raised and snapped onto the lower bottle half
FIG. 23, shows a view of a bottle with a cutaway view of the base snapped onto the lower bottle half.
FIG. 24, is a view of an inner bladder liner 15.
FIG. 25, shows a view of an upper bottle half 14 a, and at the bottom of the upper bottle half can be seen the open bottom 42, just below the bottom threading 14 b. The inner bladder liner 15, is inserted through the open bottom of the upper bottle half. Once the inner bladder liner is fully settle into place inside the upper bottle half the removable bottle neck 27 a, is threaded onto the upper bottle half, this forces the bladder rim 29, to snap out above the removable bottle neck 27 a, and seating it into place at the top of the removable bottle neck, where the chip 43, and notch 44, will be locked together when the
lower cap 17 a, is threaded onto the removable bottle neck. By locking the inner bladder liner at the top end it secures the inner bladder liner from twisting at the top when the inner bladder liner is twisted from below by the base.
FIG. 26, shows the bottle system fully assembled. Further, is shown a cutaway view of the removable bottle neck 27 a. Revealing the bottle neck inner threading 27 c. And the top threading 45. Located at the top of bottle upper half 14 a, above the removable bottle neck 27 a, is the lower cap 17 a, and the upper cap 17 b. Below the bottle upper half 14 a, the base 16, is seated and snapped into place.
FIG. 27, is an exploded view of all the components of the entire bottle system. Once the components of the bottle system are assembled together the bottle system works the same way as it is intended to function as stated from FIG. 1 through 13 a, which is to squeeze the air and empty space out of the bottle. In the case of viscous substance, it will facilitate in the removal of such substances.
FIG. 28, shows an exploded view of a bottle in perspective. The inner bladder liner is shown below the open bottom of the bottle and indicated with arrows to illustrate that it will be inserted in through the bottom of the bottle upper half. Above the bottle upper half is shown the removable bottle neck. The upper bottle half 14 a, has been fitted with a bladder squeeze opening 32, that is utilized to allow access to the inner bladder liner 15, after it has been inserted inside the upper bottle half. Once the inner bladder liner is encased inside the bottle system the inner bladder liner can be pressed with the fingers of the hand through the bladder squeeze opening 32, to facilitate in squeezing out a controlled and small amounts of viscous substances that are contained inside the inner bladder liner. The base 16, of the bottle system is still utilized to squeeze out the air and empty space, and take up the slack that can remain in the inner bladder liner.
FIG. 29, shows an exploded view of a bottle in perspective. The inner bladder liner 15, is shown protruding below the open bottom of the bottle. Below, the inner bladder liner is the lower bottle half 40, and indicated with arrows to illustrate that it will be inserted in through the bottom of the bottle upper half 14 a. Once the lower bottle half is put into the bottle upper half it is screw into place and it's ready to receive the base. When the base is in place the bottle is ready for use. Above the bottle upper half is shown, the removable bottle neck 27 a.

FIG. 34, Shows a view of a bottle upper half 14 a, with the removable lower bottle half 40, attached to the bottom of the bottle upper half. Below the open bottom 42, can be seen the flange groove 23, that is used to attach the rotating base 16, with a snap fit. The removable lower bottle 40, half is screwed into place with the bottle upper half 14 a, which utilized the bottom threading 14 b, of the bottle upper half. Further, illustrated in this drawing is the top threading 45, that is found at the open top 46, of the bottle upper half. This threading is used to attach the removable bottle neck 27 a, onto the bottle upper half, as indicated with arrows. Once the removable bottle neck is secured into place the inner bladder liner will be held in check when the notch and chip are engaged. The removable bottle neck is fitted with bottle neck outer threading 27 b, for the purpose of securing the lower cap 17 a, onto the bottle upper half 14 a. When the lower cap is secured tightly into place it compresses the chip into the notch on the removable bottle neck. The interlocking of these two components keeps the inner bladder liner from turning at the top when the inner bladder liner is twisted and compressed from below.
FIG. 35, Shows a view of a bottle upper half 14 a, with the removable lower bottle half 40, attached to the bottom of the bottle upper half. At the top of the bottle upper half is a cutaway view of the removable bottle neck 27 a, to show how it is attached to the top threading 45. Further can be seen the bladder neck 33, encased within the removable bottle neck 27 a, as it protrudes from the open top 46, of the bottle upper half 14 a, with the chip 43, and bladder rim 29, exposed above the removable bottle neck.
FIG. 30, 31, 32, show a cutaway view of a bottle upper half 14 a, and a partial cutaway view of the removable bottle neck 27 a, indicated with arrows to show how it will be lowered and twisted onto the bottle upper half.
FIG. 36, shows a cutaway view of a bottle upper half 14 a, to show it from the inside, therefore exposing the bottom threading 14 b, that is extruded from within the bottle upper half 14 a. Further, illustrated is a partial cutaway view of the removable bottle neck, exposing the bottle neck inner threading 27 c, the bottle outer threading 27 b, and the notch 44, and is indicated with arrows to show how it will be lowered and twisted onto the bottle upper half. In this illustration can be seen how the bottom of the bottle upper half is completely open exposing the open bottom 42.
FIG. 37, shows a cutaway view of a bottle upper half 14 a, exposing a fully inflated inner bladder liner 15, cradled within the bottle upper half. In this illustration is shown how the inner bladder liner extends below the bottle upper half from the open bottom 42. Further is illustrated how the bladder neck 33, extends beyond the top threading 45, to show how there is enough clearance so that when the removable bottle neck is twisted onto the bottle upper half. The notch 43, and bladder rim 29, will extend beyond the top opening of the removable bottle neck, and come to rest above the removable bottle neck to locks the chip 43, with the notch 44 together when the lower cap 17 a, is threaded into place.
FIG. 38, shows a cutaway view of a bottle upper half 14 a, with a partially twisted inner bladder liner cradled inside the upper bottle half, and indicated with an arrow to show that it is twisted from below. Further, is illustrated a partial cutaway view of a removable bottle neck 27 a.
FIG. 39, shows an exploded view of a removable bottle neck 27 a, with the bottle neck outer threading 27 b, set on the outside, near the top of the removable bottle neck, that is located just below the notch 44, that is at the top of the removable bottle neck. The removable bottle neck is hollow and open at both ends so that liquid can pass through it. The said notch is cut into a V-shape so that it can accommodate the fitting of the chip 43, (that is also V-shape in form) into its space. When the chip is set into the notch the lower cap 17 a, is threaded onto the removable bottle neck and by so doing presses the chip into the notch thereby securing the inner bladder liner with the rest of the bottle system, and by so doing the inner bladder liner cannot turn at the top end when the inner bladder liner is twisted from below. The lower cap 17 a, is fitted with lower cap threading 17 d, that matches the bottle neck outer threading 27 b, so that the lower cap can be secured onto the removable bottle neck 27 a, and press the notch and chip into each other. The upper cap is also threaded internally, called upper cap threading 17 e, so that it can thread onto the lower cap outer threading 17 c. The purpose of the upper cap is to seal in the contents within the bottle system.
FIG. 40, shows a close-up view of the removable bottle neck 27 a, for the purpose of illustrating how the chip 43, is fitted into the notch 44. After the chip is nestled into place in the notch, the lower cap 17 a, is screwed onto the removable bottle neck 27 b, and by so doing presses the chips into the notch and prevents the inner bladder liner from twisting around at the top when the inner bladder liner is twisted from below, when the rotating base 16, is turned. As the inner bladder liner is compressed tighter and tighter the twisting action applied to the inner bladder liner from below is transferred further upwards making it necessary for a stop action to be set into place by the chip and notch, to prevent the inner bladder liner from moving at the top end. This action can be compared to a wringer, but in the case of the bottle system the action is directed upwards to the opening at the top of the inner bladder liner where the content stored inside the inner bladder liner is released in a controlled manner, or in the case of stored effervescent drinks the empty air space is removed.
FIG. 41, shows a cutaway view of the bottle upper half to display the inner workings of the lever 51. The bottle has been fitted with a grip handle 48, and a trigger 49. The trigger is sandwiched internally in the grip handle, and held in place by a trigger pin 50. A fulcrum opening 55, is set into the bottle upper half to allow the lever and pad to enter into the bottle so that pressure can be applied to the inner bladder liner. A fulcrum 52, is set, one on each side of the fulcrum opening. The lever 51, is held in place between the two fulcrums by a pivot pin 53. At one end of the lever that is set internally into the bottle upper half there is a round pad 54. The handle and lever system has been added to a bottle for the purpose of squeezing out viscous substances from a bottle when a gun action is required such as in the use of caulking compound, or axle grease. When the trigger is squeezed into the grip handle 48, the top of the trigger moves forward and by so doing depresses a lever 51, that pushes a pad 54, that is at the other end of the lever 51, this in turn depresses the inner bladder liner 15, and forces the viscous substance within the inner bladder liner to be squeezed out under pressure at the top opening.
FIG. 42, shows a dotted outline view of an inner bladder liner 15, superimposed, onto the bottle system to further illustrate how the lever is actuated within the bottle. Also seen in dotted outline form is part of the lever and the pad to illustrate how it rest internally inside the bottle upper half and pressing into the inner bladder liner.
