Abstract
A bottle that can be stacked on other similar bottles ( ), either with or without an intermediate carrier plate ( ), is bound together with adjacent bottles to form stable stacks. The bottom surface of the bottle includes a cavity ( ) adapted to receive at least a part of the capsule ( ) of a bottle in an underlying layer. The cavity has at least one guiding and constraining surface ( ) which coacts, with a tight fit, with a corresponding guiding and constraining surface of the capsule or with some other part of the bottle in the underlying layer, or with a corresponding guiding and constraining surface ( ) of a bottle-guiding and constraining device ( ) that projects up from a carrier plate positioned between the layers of bottles and in which there is received at least a part of the capsule of the bottle in the underlying layer. This provides stable lateral constraint of the upper part of a bottle in an underlying layer in the bottom of a bottle in an overlying layer, while the weight of the bottle in the top layer is transmitted to the bottle in the bottom layer. The invention also relates to a bottle fitting carrier plate.
