Abstract

A container with a large open end and a smaller neck, with external threading and extended collars on large open end to mate with internal threads of a large socket on concave base end cap, and secure closure band correspondingly, and threading and extended collar on smaller closed end to mate with internal threads of smaller socket in the concave base end cap and stabilize container in cap correspondingly. The concave end cap providing resistance to gaseous contents provides a stable end surface, thus, allowing the container to be configured into a stemmed recipient without losing balance.

Claims

1. A container with a large open end and a smaller closed end comprising:

the container having a large diameter first end and a small diameter second end, opposite said first end;

said first end including a large diameter opening therein, and said second end closed;

said first end having external threads with a first small extended collar and a second larger extended collar below threading with a space between both said collars, and said second end having external threads with a third extended collar below threading;

a base end cap removably, connected to said, first end of container, having a first large internally threaded socket and a second smaller internally threaded socket therein, and a concave closed end opposite said sockets;

said base end cap having internally ribbed arches extending from, second small socket outermost wall and ending abruptly before reaching the first large socket threaded wall;

said base end cap having a ring of impermeable material inserted between the abrupt endings of the arched ribs and said large socket threaded wall;

said base end cap having a detachable closure band with a inner folding crimped edge; and

means for connecting, said base second smaller socket to second small diameter end of container thus, configuring the container into a stemmed recipient.

2. The container according to claim 1, wherein, the third extended collar provides the means to stabilize the container, when said second externally threaded closed end is engaged with, second smaller threaded socket in base end cap.

3. The container according to claim 1, wherein, the third extended collar provides the means for precluding inadvertent slipping of the container when handled.

4. A container according to claim 1, wherein, the base end cap by means of said ribbed arches and concave opposite end resist the pressure exerted by gaseous contests, thus providing stability in both configurations.

5. A container according to claim 1, wherein the detachable closure band remains on said container after the base end cap is removed by means of said first and second extended collars and closure bands folded crimped edge.

6. The container according to claim 1, wherein, said impermeable ring provides the means to prevent leakage of the containers contents.
