Abstract
A BINGO card ink applicator bottle. The bottle is formed of a blow-molded plastic material and has a central longitudinal axis. The bottle holds a colored ink therein for marking a BINGO card and includes a shoulder portion, a central recessed portion, and a base portion. The shoulder portion includes a cylindrically circular sidewall and a top wall having a neck with a central opening therein. An ink applicator is mounted on the neck and in communication with the interior of the bottle. The base portion includes a cylindrically circular sidewall and planer bottom wall. The outside diameter of the sidewall of the shoulder portion is the same as the base portion. The central recessed portion includes an oval cylindrical sidewall having a major outside diameter and a minor outside diameter, with the major outside diameter being the same as that of the sidewall of the shoulder and base portions. The central recessed portion merges with the sidewall of the shoulder portion at an upper flared surface which is arranged to receive the thumb and index finger of one hand of a person holding the bottle so that he/she can use the applicator to mark a BINGO card. A label bearing indicia thereon is secured on the central recessed portion centered over at least one of the ends of the minor diameter to provide maximum visibility for that indicia.
