Spill Inhibiting Container System

A spill inhibiting container system for inhibiting a liquid from spilling from a bottle during air travel includes a bottle that has a neck. The bottle may contain a liquid. A plug is removably positioned within the neck. The plug inhibits the liquid from escaping the bottle when the bottle is carried in air transportation.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to container devices and more particularly pertains to a new container device for inhibiting a liquid from escaping a bottle during air travel.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a bottle that has a neck. The bottle may contain a liquid. A plug is removably positioned within the neck. The plug inhibits the liquid from escaping the bottle when the bottle is carried in air transportation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 4, the spill inhibiting container system10generally comprises a bottle12that has a neck14. The neck14has an inner surface16. The bottle12may contain a liquid18. A plug20is provided and the plug20is removably positioned within the neck14. Thus, the plug20inhibits the liquid18from escaping the bottle12when the bottle12is carried during air transportation.

The plug20has a top wall22, a bottom wall24and an outer wall26extending between the top wall22and the bottom wall24. The outer wall26is continuous such that the plug20has a cylindrical shape and the plug20is substantially hollow. The outer wall26frictionally engages the inner surface16of the neck14when the plug20is positioned in the bottle12. The plug30is comprised of a deformable material. Thus, the outer wall26forms a liquid impermeable seal with the neck14.

The plug20is inflated with a gas28. Thus, the plug20expands and contracts in reaction to changing atmospheric pressure during air travel. Thus, the plug20retains the liquid18in the bottle12during air travel. The gas28may comprise air or the like.

The plug20has an opening30extending through the top wall22and the bottom wall24. The opening30is fluidly discrete from an interior of the plug20. The opening30selectively dispenses the liquid18from the bottle12. The opening30equalizes atmospheric pressure with respect to the interior of the bottle12and ambient atmospheric pressure. Thus, the liquid18in the bottle12is inhibited from being pressurized in the bottle12. A cap32is removably coupled to the bottle12when the plug20is positioned within the neck14. Thus, the cap32inhibits the liquid18from escaping the bottle12during air travel.

In use, the plug20is positioned within the neck14when the bottle12is to be carried during air travel. The cap32is positioned on the bottle12. The plug20may be left in the neck14on a permanent basis or the plug20may be selectively removed from the neck14. The cap32is removed to selectively dispense the liquid18from the bottle12.
