Abstract
A stabilizing apparatus coupled to a bottle and designed to prevent the bottle from tipping over when disposed on a flat surface is provided. The stabilizing apparatus includes a ring having a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface and an outer side beveled surface connecting the top and bottom surfaces together. The ring includes a central opening disposed therethrough to receive the bottle. The central opening has an upper slanted inner surface having a plurality of ridges that contact the bottle. Spacing between the plurality of ridges in the upper slanted inner surface reduce a surface area of the upper slanted inner surface in contact with the bottle, thereby permitting slidable adjustments of the ring relative to the bottle with enhanced efficiency.
