Abstract
Abstract A hanging type bottle for use in dripping fluids into the body of a patient. The bottle contains a protective tube of plastic which adheres to the body of the bottle and a disc-like member attached to the outer bottom surface of the bottle. The disc-like member contains integral hanging rings and serves as a cushion and noise dampener. The disc-like member is secured to the bottle by an edge of the protective tube. Should an accident occur which results in breakage, the protective tube prevents the broken bottle from being scattered over a wide area. Standard type bottles can be used without the necessity of providing grooves, etc. in the body of the bottle for suitably hanging the bottle.
