Abstract
A non-spill liquid bottle having an extended curved neck in the form of a number seven '7', a letter 'Z' or a letter 'S' incorporated into the design of its mouth opening. This non-spill design allows a full bottle of liquid to be partially turned over with liquid level inside the bottle being higher than the liquid level at the mouth opening and no liquid will flow out from the bottle. Liquid will start to flow out only after the bottle is turned further and the tilting angle reach the predetermined pouring angle. The pouring angle is the tilting angle of the bottle when outside air starts to enter the bottle and liquid inside the bottle starts to flow out. This design makes pouring liquid from a full bottle much less likely to spill.
