subject: Glass Olive Oil Bottles [print this page] A glass olive oil bottles protective enclosure adapted for use with a glass bottle comprising a lower section having a shoulder and a bottle neck with an upper opening, and a bottle cap designed to be securely attached over the upper opening of the bottle neck, said glass bottle protective enclosure comprising: a) a lower bottle container having an integral side wall and a base, b) a lower bottle-container cap having means for being attached to said lower bottle container, c) means for protecting a glass bottle specifically designed to contain toxic injectable medication, contained within said protective enclosure from a shock impact, and d) a base having at least one sensor cavity into which is inserted an enclosure leakage sensor.
The best mode for carrying out the invention is presented in terms of a first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-8 , and a second embodiment as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 . The first and second embodiments both disclose a glass bottle protective enclosure 10 (hereinafter GBPE 10 ) which provides safe use, handling and transportation of glass bottles and their contents.
The first embodiment of the GBPE 10 is comprised of the following major elements: a glass olive oil bottles container 12 having a base 14 , an integral side wall 22 , a set of shock absorbing protrusions 30 , and a bottle container cap 36 . The GBPE 10 is designed to enclose and protect a glass bottle 100 , which typically consists of a lower section 102 having an upper shoulder 104 and a bottle neck 106 with an upper opening 108 , and a bottle cap 110 that is designed to be securely attached over the upper opening 67 of the bottle neck 66 . Additionally, many applications require a label 112 to be placed on the bottle 100 to indicate the contents therein, application instructions, warning messages and the like, one such application is for medical use and particularly when the glass bottle 100 is specifically designed to contain toxic injectable medication, such as Cis-platin, and carboplatin which is a drug/medication used in ontology.
As shown in FIG. 1 , the glass olive oil bottles container 12 is comprised of the base 14 , which has a lower surface 16 and an upper surface 18 , and the integral side wall 22 . The base 14 can be designed with a flat upper surface 18 as shown in FIGS. 5 , 6 , 8 and 10 or can be designed to include at least one sensor cavity 120 and preferably a pair of cavities 120 , as shown in FIG. 1 , that extend inward from the upper surface 18 . Into the cavities 120 are inserted and captively held an enclosure leakage sensor 122 which can consist of a water soluble substance 124 or an electronic sensor 126 .
The water soluble substance, which can consist of a dye tablet or a capsule, produces a visable color when the substance is dissolved into the leaked liquid medication from the glass olive oil bottles 100 protected by the enclosure 10 . The tablet or capsule are selected to be stable in air and to not generate any secondary volatile hazardous material when exposed to the leaked liquid medication.
