Abstract

In one embodiment there is provided a bottle and cap package configuration designed to hold a solid substance and provide an escape path for a scent of the substance. The cap has an internal surface with a mid-section projection to cooperatively rest on an upper ledge of the bottle neck. At least one raised pad is positioned between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection such that when the cap is positioned on the neck of the bottle, the at least one raised pad creates a ventilation gap permitting a scent of a substance contained in the well of the bottle an escape path between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection and then around the threads to under the bottom surface edge of the cap.

First claim

We claim:

1 . A bottle and cap package configured to hold a substance comprising:
a bottle having a neck extending from sidewalls that terminate into an upper ledge surrounding an opening into a well, wherein the well is configured to hold a substance, and the neck further including neck threads; a cap defined to include a top portion terminating into a downwardly extending cap sidewalls, the cap sidewalls further terminating into a bottom surface edge, the cap sidewalls having an internal surface that has a mid-section projection projecting inwardly to define an underneath side surface configured to cooperatively rest on the upper ledge of the bottle, the internal surface further includes cap threads below the mid-section projection and extending inwardly to cooperate with the neck threads; at least one raised pad positioned between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection of the cap such that when the cap is positioned on the neck of the bottle, the at least one raised pad creates a ventilation gap permitting a scent of a substance contained in the well of the bottle an escape path between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection and then around the threads to under the bottom surface edge of the cap.

2 . The bottle and cap package of claim 1 , wherein the neck threads further include an interruption gap dividing the neck threads into thread segments, further providing the scent a path to flow through the interruption gap towards the bottom surface edge of the cap.

3 . The bottle and cap package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one raised pad is positioned onto the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection defined on the cap.

4 . The bottle and cap package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one raised pad is positioned onto the upper ledge of the neck defined on the bottle.

5 . A bottle and cap package configured to hold a substance comprising:
a bottle having a neck extending from sidewalls that terminate into an upper ledge surrounding an opening into a well, wherein the well is configured to hold a substance, and the neck further including neck threads;
a cap defined to include a top portion terminating into a downwardly extending cap sidewalls, the cap sidewalls further terminating into a bottom surface edge, the cap sidewalls having an internal surface that has a mid-section projection projecting inwardly to define an underneath side surface configured to cooperatively rest on the upper ledge of the bottle, the internal surface further includes cap threads below the mid-section projection and extending inwardly to cooperate with the neck threads; and
wherein the neck threads further include an interruption gap dividing the neck threads into thread segments, further providing the scent a path to flow through the interruption gap towards the bottom surface edge of the cap.

6 . The bottle and cap package of claim 5 further comprising:
at least one raised pad positioned between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection of the cap such that when the cap is positioned on the neck of the bottle, the at least one raised pad creates a ventilation gap permitting a scent of a substance contained in the well of the bottle an escape path between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection and then around the threads to under the bottom surface edge of the cap.

7 . The bottle and cap package of claim 6 , wherein the at least one raised pad is positioned onto the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection defined on the cap.

8 . The bottle and cap package of claim 6 , wherein the at least one raised pad is positioned onto the upper ledge of the neck defined on the bottle.
