Bottle head structure
Provided is a bottle comprising a water reservoir, a threaded neck having an opening, and a top reservoir in one embodiment including an upper portion, a lower portion releasably secured to the upper portion, a cylindrical coupling member projected downwardly from the lower portion and having internal threads secured to the neck, and a seal formed at a top of the coupling member and above the opening, the seal being adapted to separate the contents (e.g., powder or thick fluid) in the top reservoir from water in the water reservoir. Screwing down the top reservoir to lift the opening until the seal is broken will drop the contents in the top reservoir into the water reservoir to mix for making beverage.
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to bottles and more particularly to such a bottle having a top reservoir contained with powder or thick fluid in which the top reservoir is separate from the bottle by a thin seal such that turning or twisting the top reservoir will break the seal to drop powder or thick fluid into water contained in the bottle for mixing in order to make beverage.
2. Related Art
A wide variety of beverages are commercially available. One drawback thereof is the short term of storage. Hence, a need has arisen for an improved bottle having a structure for prolonging a storage time of liquid contained therein.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a bottle comprising a water reservoir for containing a quantity of water; a threaded neck integrally formed with the water reservoir and having an opening; and a top reservoir including an upper portion, a lower portion releasably secured to the upper portion, a cylindrical coupling member projected downwardly from the lower portion and having internal threads adapted to secure to the neck for connecting the top reservoir and the water reservoir together, and a seal formed at a top of the coupling member and above the opening by a predetermined distance, the seal being adapted to separate the contents in the top reservoir from water in the water reservoir; whereby screwing down the top reservoir to lift the opening until the seal is broken will drop the contents in the top reservoir into the water reservoir to mix for making beverage.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a bottle comprising a water reservoir for containing a quantity of water; a threaded neck integrally formed with the water reservoir and having an opening; a top reservoir including a cylindrical, threaded coupling member projected downwardly; and a sleeve including an internally threaded upper portion secure to the coupling member, an internally threaded lower portion secure to the neck for connecting the top reservoir and the water reservoir together, and a seal formed between the lower portion and the upper portion and above the opening by a predetermined distance, the seal being adapted to separate the contents in the top reservoir from water in the water reservoir; whereby screwing down the sleeve to lift the opening until the seal is broken will drop the contents in the top reservoir into the water reservoir to mix for making beverage.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a bottle comprising a water reservoir for containing a quantity of water; a threaded neck integrally formed with the water reservoir and having an opening; and a flexible top reservoir including a hollow member formed on a top center and including a cover, and two grooves formed at opposite sides of the hollow member being in communication with the top reservoir, a cylindrical, threaded coupling member projected downwardly, and a seal formed at a top of the coupling member and above the opening by a first predetermined distance and below a bottom of the hollow member by a second predetermined distance, the seal being adapted to separate the contents in the top reservoir from water in the water reservoir; whereby twisting the top reservoir will deform same to cause the bottom of the hollow member to break the seal for dropping the contents in the top reservoir into the water reservoir to mix for making beverage.
In one aspect of the present invention, the contents are powder or thick fluid.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
In a storage state, a predetermined distance is provided between the seal 27 and the opening 13. For making beverage, a person may screw down the reservoir 2 to cause the opening 13 to lift until the seal 27 is broken by -the opening 13. Once broken, powder or thick fluid drops into water contained in the water reservoir 1 for mixing. As an end, the purpose of making beverage in case of need is achieved.

Claims
1. A bottle comprising:
- a water reservoir for containing a quantity of water;
- a threaded neck having an opening; and
- a top reservoir including an upper portion, a lower portion releasably secured to the upper portion, a cylindrical coupling member projected downwardly from the lower portion and having internal threads adapted to secure to the neck for connecting the top reservoir and the water reservoir together, and a seal formed at a top of the coupling member and above the opening by a predetermined distance, the seal being adapted to separate the contents in the top reservoir from water in the water reservoir;
- whereby screwing down the top reservoir to lift the opening until the seal is broken will drop the contents in the top reservoir into the water reservoir to mix for making beverage.
2. The bottle of claim 1, wherein the lower portion is threadedly secured to the upper portion.
3. The bottle of claim 1, wherein the top reservoir is spherical or cup-shaped.
4. The bottle of claim 1, wherein the contents are powder or thick fluid.
5. A bottle comprising:
- a water reservoir for containing a quantity of water;
- a threaded neck having an opening;
- a top reservoir including a cylindrical, threaded coupling member projected downwardly; and
- a sleeve including an internally threaded upper portion secure to the coupling member, an internally threaded lower portion secure to the neck for connecting the top reservoir and the water reservoir together, and a seal formed between the lower portion and the upper portion and above the opening by a predetermined distance, the seal being adapted to separate the contents in the top reservoir from water in the water reservoir;
- whereby screwing down the sleeve to lift the opening until the seal is broken will drop the contents in the top reservoir into the water reservoir to mix for making beverage.
6. The bottle of claim 5, wherein the top reservoir is spherical.
7. The bottle of claim 5, wherein the contents are powder or thick fluid.
8. The bottle of claim 5, wherein the sleeve is a staged member having a shoulder urged against the opening for preventing the opening from moving toward the seal such that screwing down the top reservoir to lower the coupling member until the seal is broken will drop the contents in the top reservoir into the water reservoir to mix for making beverage.
9. A bottle comprising:
- a water reservoir for containing a quantity of water;
- a threaded neck having an opening; and
- a flexible top reservoir including a hollow member formed on a top center and including a cover, and two grooves formed at opposite sides of the hollow member being in communication with the top reservoir, a cylindrical, threaded coupling member projected downwardly, and a seal formed at a top of the coupling member and above the opening by a first predetermined distance and below a bottom of the hollow member by a second predetermined distance, the seal being adapted to separate the contents in the top reservoir from water in the water reservoir;
