Abstract
A compressing device for plastic bottle uses a pair of plates which are strapped on each side of a bottle. The straps are tightened as the bottle's content is used up. The plates are shaped in such a way so as to reduce crimping on the bottle. Optional accessories such as a saddle to hold the plates on the side of the bottle while installing; a stand to hold the bottle upright; and a handle to facilitate pouring are available.
