a base portion (206), connected to the body portion (204) and formed from a bottom region of the coconut fruit (100), the base portion (206) having a substantially flat bottom surface (212).
2. The pre-bottle (200) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the top portion (202) further has a partially exposed shell (104) of the coconut fruit (100).
3. The pre-bottle (200) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the neck (208) of the top portion (202) has one of a circular, elliptical, and polygonal cross section.
4. The pre-bottle (200) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pre-bottle (200) is tapered from the base portion (206) to the top portion (202).
5. The pre-bottle (200) as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a top portion body portion interface region (210), through which the top portion (202) is connected to the body portion (204), wherein the top portion body portion interface region (210) is provided with a chamfer.
6. The pre-bottle (200) as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a spout (400), wherein the spout (400) is fitted to the pre-bottle (200) through the top portion (202) of the pre-bottle (200).
7. A method of forming a pre-bottle (200) out of a coconut fruit (100), the method comprising:
grinding a top region of the coconut fruit (100) to form a top portion (202) having a tapered geometrical cross sectional neck;
grinding a lateral peripheral region of the coconut fruit (100) to form a body portion (204) having one of a substantially cylindrical cross section and an elliptical cross section; and
grinding a bottom region of the coconut fruit (100) to form a base portion (206) to form a ground pre-bottle.
8. The method as claimed in claim 7 further comprising coating the ground pre-bottle with a moisture barrier layer to form a coated pre-bottle.
9. The method as claimed in claim 7 further comprising wrapping the coated pre-bottle with lamination film to form the pre-bottle (200).
10. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the grinding the lateral peripheral region includes providing one of a straight cylindrical shape, a conical shape, a spherical shape, a polygonal shape with chamfer, and an hour glass shape.
11. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the grinding the top region further includes:
providing one of a conical shape, and a polygonal shape with chamfer; and
exposing a top of a shell (104) of the coconut fruit (100).
12. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the grinding the bottom region includes:
providing a substantially flat bottom surface (212) to the bottom region; and
providing one of a tapered polygonal shape, a spherical shape, a reverse conical shape, and an elliptical shape to the base portion (206).
13. A spout (400) for a pre-bottle (200), wherein the spout (400) comprises:
a first portion (402) and a second portion (404) removably coupled with each other, wherein the first portion (402) has a tapered conical nozzle, and wherein a geometry of the second portion (404) corresponds to a top portion of the pre-bottle (200), and wherein the second portion (404) has an external wall profile (408) to operably interact with an inner region (502) of a top portion (202) of the pre-bottle (200) for assembly; and
a flange (410) extending radially from a rim of the second portion (404).
14. The spout (400) as claimed in claim 13 further including a breakaway notch (412) between the first portion (402) and the second portion (404).
15. The spout (400) as claimed in claim 13, wherein the external wall profile (408) is one of a hose barb profile, a saw tooth profile, a straight press fit profile, a taper press fit profile, and a threaded screw profile.
16. The spout (400) as claimed in claim 13, wherein the first portion (402) has one of a symmetrical and asymmetrical nozzle with regard to a central longitudinal axis of the spout (400).
17. The spout (400) as claimed in claim 13, wherein the spout (400) is fitted with the pre-bottle (200) to form a bottle (500) ready for consumption of contents therein.
18. The spout (400) as claimed in claim 13, wherein an external wall (406) of the second portion (404) is in contact with the inner region (502) of the pre-bottle (200) after assembly therewith.
19. The spout (400) as claimed in claim 13, wherein the spout (400) is manufactured from one of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), HDPE (High-density polyethylene), PVC (Poly vinyl chloride), LDPE (Low-density polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PS (polystyrene), and polycarbonate.
20. The spout (400) as claimed in claim 13, wherein the flange (410) extends for a range of about 4 mm to about 8 mm from the rim of the second portion (404). ,TagSPECI:As Attached
