       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0005]    The present invention is in the technical field of containers. More particularly, the preferred embodiments of the present invention relate generally to containers for transporting fluids or semi-fluids. More particularly, the preferred embodiments of the present invention relate generally to hygienic bottles. More particularly, the preferred embodiments of the present invention relate generally to collapsible hygienic bottles. More particularly, the preferred embodiments of the present invention relate generally to collapsible and squeezable hygienic bottles. 
         [0006]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0007]    The broad concept of collapsible containers is known. Often, collapsibility is used to improve the portability of these containers; however the means of collapsibility usually foreclose other useful functions and improvements, such as squeezability, etc. 
         [0008]    It is also known to use squeezable containers. However, these squeezable containers are rarely collapsible, or are not collapsible in a well-controlled manner, and they are not easily directed to target areas of interest. Squeezability is usually used to facilitate drinking from the container, and the known squeezable containers do not provide pressures sufficient to perform some types of washing functions. 
         [0009]    It is also known to use hygienic bottles. However, these inventions are mainly of two types: large size hygienic bottles, which usually involve applying heated or cooled water, and smaller scale hygienic bottles, such as feminine hygiene bottles. The large size hygienic bottles are not prone to portability and are intended to be used at home or in a facility, such as hospital. When used for washing, these large size hygienic bottles do not provide pressure sufficient to perform some types of washing functions. The smaller scale hygienic bottles are problematic because their small size prevents them from being filled with an adequate amount of water to perform some types of washing functions. In addition, their nozzles are very small, which makes the process of refilling difficult. These smaller scale hygienic bottles are intended for one-time use and lack the durability to allow for reuse. Additionally, they are usually not collapsible and often pre-filled with liquid, which makes them heavy and hard to transport in a pocket or purse. In addition, feminine bottles, or douche bottles, are not well suited for male use. 
         [0010]    It is also known to use accordion-like shapes to facilitate the collapse of a container. However, these inventions usually use the accordion shape only for collapsibility and are not adopted to increase the pressure of fluid being expelled from the container or direct its flow. 
         [0011]    It is also known to use a device to aid in religious services. However, these inventions do not provide a means to perform ritual washing. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0012]    In Islamic religion, it is obligatory for practitioners of the faith to perform several types of ritual washings. One of them is istinja&#39;, which is performed by pouring clean water on an eliminatory outlet to purify it from traces of urine or feces even after wiping the eliminatory outlet with toilet paper or any other materials. Although American public bathrooms usually have washing areas with sinks that provide clean water, these washing areas are not often in the immediate vicinity of a toilet, especially if the toilets are in private stalls. The lack of adequate access to clean water inside toilet stalls in American restrooms creates a problem for Muslims who need to wash themselves ritually every time they use the restroom. The present invention offers a solution to this problem. The Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle invention is a collapsible container for transporting water from a sink into a bathroom or toilet stall, which lacks adequate access to clean water in the immediate vicinity of the toilet. When collapsed, the present invention is highly portable and has a sufficiently small size, so that it can easily fit in someone&#39;s pocket or purse. When filled, the Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle is large enough to hold enough water to perform the purifying ritual. After filling, when squeezed, the present invention has the ability to squirt water with sufficient pressure to help in performing the istinja&#39; process in the proper areas. Although primarily used to make istinja&#39;, this use is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and broader applicability will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, including the performance of other ritual washing. 
         [0013]    The broad embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a hygienic bottle, which may be collapsed into a compact and easily portable form, which may be filled with fluid through a removable nozzle, which prevents leakage during transportation, and which is squeezable, thereby enabling a user to transport water from a location where water is available to a location where water is unavailable and use that water for washing. 
         [0014]    In one preferred embodiment, the present invention relates generally to a hygienic bottle, which comprises a flattened rounded-rectangular-shaped central body with rounded-rectangular-shaped sides that distend accordion-like on opposite sides of the central body, and a removable nozzle, which distends from the top of the central body. When not in use, the sides collapse telescopically into the central body forming a compact package that may be easily stored in a purse or pocket. To fill the device, the nozzle is removed from the central body, allowing water to enter the rounded-rectangular-shaped central body and expand the accordion-shaped bladders until the device is full. The nozzle is then replaced to allow for leak-proof transportation to a location in which a water source is not readily available. To use the device for washing, the device is squeezed to allow for a pressurized stream for washing. After washing, the device is collapsed again for storage until the next usage. 
         [0015]    In another preferred embodiment, the present invention relates generally to a hygienic bottle, which comprises a flattened rounded-rectangular-shaped central body with ellipse-shaped sides that distend accordion-like on opposite sides of the central body, and a removable nozzle, which distends from the top of the central body. Similar to the previous embodiment, when not in use, the sides collapse accordion-like into the central body forming a compact package that may be easily stored in a purse or pocket. The compact form is held in place by a restraining strap.To fill the device, the nozzle is removed from the central body, allowing water to enter the rounded-rectangular-shaped central body and expand the accordion-shaped bladders until the device is full. The nozzle is then replaced to allow for leak-proof transportation to a location in which a water source is not readily available. To use the device for washing, the device is squeezed to allow for a pressurized stream for washing. After washing, the device is collapsed again for storage until the next usage. 
         [0016]    In the most preferred embodiments, the present invention relates generally to a collapsible and squeezable apparatus for performing hygienic functions, which comprises a bellow-shaped body with a removable nozzle distending from the top of the bellow-shaped body. When not in use, the bellow-shaped body collapses into a flattened shape, forming a compact package that may be easily stored in a purse or pocket. To fill the device, the nozzle is removed from the bellow-shaped body, allowing water to enter the bellow-shaped body and expand the bellow until the device is full. The nozzle is then replaced to allow for leak-proof transportation to a location in which a water source is not readily available. To use the device for washing, the bellow of the device is squeezed to allow for a pressurized stream for washing. After washing, the device is collapsed again for storage until the next usage. 
         [0017]    In sum, the Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle invention provides a convenient means to transport clean water for washing from a location where clean water is available to a location without immediate access to clean water.

         [0054]    Referring still to the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, in  FIG. 1 ,  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 4 ,  FIG. 5 ,  FIG. 6 ,  FIG. 7 ,  FIG. 8 ,  FIG. 9 ,  FIG. 10  and  FIG. 11 , a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  comprises a closable nozzle  110  and a collapsible container  120 . The closable nozzle  110  comprises threaded body  112  and a head  114 , which further comprises a dispensing opening  116 . The collapsible container  120  comprises a support frame  130  and a fluid vessel  122 , which are attached to each other in a sealed and leak-proof fashion. The support frame  130  comprises a frame top  134  and two frame sides  132 , which distend from either end of the frame top  134 . The frame top  134  comprises a threaded neck  113 , which distends from the frame top  134  and which receives the threaded body  112  of the closable nozzle  110  in a leak-proof fashion. The threaded neck  113  further comprises a neck opening  135  for transferring fluid from the fluid vessel  122  to the closable nozzle  110  when the Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  is squeezed. The frames sides  132  further comprise a latch  136  and a clasp  138 , which are attached on opposing frame sides  132  and which operate to hold the fluid vessel  122  in a compact manner while the Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  is in the collapsed configuration. The fluid vessel  122  further comprises a plurality of bellow folds  126 , which collapses into a compact form when the Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  is in the collapsed configuration. 
         [0055]    In further detail, referring now to  FIG. 1 ,  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 4 , and  FIG. 5 , a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  is shown in a deployed configuration. In order to use the apparatus of the present invention, a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  must be filled with hygienic fluid, such as clean water. To fill a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100 , the closable nozzle  110  is removed from the collapsible container  120  and the latch  136  is disconnected from the clasp  138 . Hygienic fluid is then added to the collapsible container  120  through the neck opening  135  causing the fluid vessel  122  to expand and opening the plurality of bellow folds  126  until the fluid vessel  122  is filled. Next, the closable nozzle  110  is replaced onto the threaded neck  113  where it may be locked for leak-proof transport of the apparatus by pressing the head  114  down onto the threaded body  112  of the closable nozzle  110 , thereby closing the dispensing opening  116 . Once the fluid vessel  122  is filled and fully expanded and the closable nozzle  110  is in place, a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  is in the deployed configuration. Once the apparatus in the deployed configuration is transported to the appropriate locale, such as a private bathroom stall, a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  may be used for hygienic purposes by opening the closable nozzle  110  by pulling the head  114  away from the threaded body  112 , thereby opening the dispensing opening  116 , and then squeezing and pressing together the frame sides  132  of the collapsible container  120 , thereby forcing the hygienic fluid within to be dispensed through the dispensing opening  116  of the closable nozzle  110 . A Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  is more suitable for hygienic purposes than an ordinary drinking bottle because it is substantially more suited for being squeezed than an ordinary drinking bottle, and the additional pressure caused by its improved squeezability expels hygienic fluid more forcefully than an ordinary drinking bottle would dispense water, thereby better facilitating hygienic functions, such as washing. 
         [0056]    In further detail, referring now to  FIG. 6 ,  FIG. 7 ,  FIG. 8 ,  FIG. 9  and  FIG. 10 , a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  is shown in a collapsed configuration. Before and after using a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  for hygienic purposes, a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  may be easily transported in a compact form so that it may be available when a user requires hygienic activity but encounter facilities that do not provide adequate access to hygienic fluid in the exact locale where the hygienic activity will occur. In order to transport a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  in a compact manner, a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  may be set in a collapsed configuration by emptying the collapsible container  120  and collapsing the plurality of bellow folds  126  by bringing the frame sides  132  together, connecting the latch  136  to the clasp  138 , and closing the closable nozzle  110  by pressing the head  114  down onto the threaded body  112  of the closable nozzle  110 , thereby closing the dispensing opening  116 . Once in the collapsed configuration, a Collapsible-Squeezable Hygienic Bottle  100  may be easily transported in a purse or pocket in a leak-proof manner.
