Description

WATER BOTTLE WITH SANITISERS

This invention relates, generally, to a detachable refill sariitizer container. More specifically, this invention relates to a dual function reusable water bottle with detachable refill sanitize:-wipes container.

Description of the Related Art:

In a commercially available water bottle, there is generally provided a straw assembly for convenience. The straw assembly essentially consists of a cap base and a straw. The cap base can be screwed to the open end of a water bottle, and a circular groove is provided at the center of the cap base. A through hole is fonned on the bottom of the circular groove. There are multiple inventions in the prior art that disclose a water container assembly with a straw. For instance, a water bottle W01998007633A1 issued to Manfred Wend and Thorsten Wiemer includes a container, a cap mounted to an upper end of the container and has two holes therein, and a cover which is mounted around the cap and is rotatable between first and second positions. When the cover is in the first position, a straw mounted on the cap is hidden inside the cover while the holes are blocked. When the cover is in the second position, the straw is rotated to extend through an opening in the cover and the holes are open to allow continuous suction of the user.

Another patent a water bottle-straw assembly issued to Tsai Chong Tung having Patent No EP1550618A1 comprises a screw-threaded cap base including a lift-lower cap attached at one side thereof and a through hole in which a suction base is inserted. The suction base has a protruding suction end having a valve and a flange providing an air guiding groove. A straw is inserted into the suction base and a flexible tube is telescopically connected to the lower end of the straw to allow use with containers of varying sizes.

An improved cap and straw assembly issued to Solomon Stanley B bearing GB Patent 2457608A is to use with a water bottle or the like, wherein a bottle cap of the type having a poppet valve is equipped with a drinking straw for facilitated dispensing or drinking of a beverage from the bottle. The poppet valve includes a valve member adapted for movement to a position defining an open outlet port through which the bottle contents can be dispensed. The drinking straw has an upper end carried by the cap in surrounding relation to the outlet port, and a lower end terminating within the bottle near a bottle wall thereof. When the valve member is open, the straw permits the beverage to be sucked through the straw and poppet valve, thereby permitting beverage dispensing without requiring bottle inversion.

A portable, personal apparatus issued to HYDROS BOTTLE LLC, INNOVA DYNAMICS Inc having EP2166438A1 is for treating drinking water comprises a generally tubular or cylindrical filter housing containing filtration media and water-permeable screen or mesh or felt or membrane or netting layer at the top and bottom ends of the filter. The design of the apparatus involves the bottle exterior and interior contouring to the filter and enables the efficient and rapid gravity flow of water in through the filter. The apparatus may be configured such that water is first passed through a top reservoir designed to receive water, followed by a porous mesh, followed by granular filtration and antimicrobial media agitated by turbulent motion of influent water, followed by a porous mesh before reaching a durable and reusable water containment vessel.

W02015167951A1 issued to TRIMR LLC discloses a water bottles and flavor tablets for use therewith. The water bottle includes a container having a closed end, an open end, and a removable lid selectively coupleable over the open end of the container. A straw is disposed through the lid, or attached to the lid. A filter may be disposed within the straw, the filter removing impurities from water as it is drawn from the chamber through an opening within the straw, through the filter. A flavor tablet (e.g., a dissolvable solid including a flow channel disposed therein, or defined between a perimeter edge of the tablet and the straw or spout) can be placed within the straw or spout of the water bottle, downstream from (e.g., above) the filter so that water drawn through the straw passes first through the filter (if present), and then around or through the flavor tablet, flavoring the water drawn there through.

GB patent 191408002A issued to Leonie VJaraczewski-Nee-Stern Bag filters; bottle and like filters. A filtering-bag k is provided in the upper part of a soldier's water-bottle, which is made in two parts a, band is provided with an opening at each end. The bag carries a ring i adapted to rest in the neck of the upper opening and is provided with a chain I and a spring hook m for securing it to the neck of the bottle, or for suspending it from an eye when it is desired to dry it. A disk g of filtering-material serving as a fine filter is clamped between the flanges e, f of the parts a, b of the bottle. The water filters into the lower part b of the bottle and is withdrawn through the lower opening.

An improved cap assembly bearing patent no GB2515269A is provided for use with a water bottle or the like. Fluid carrying apparatus such as a water bottle 2 comprises an outer helical tubular casing 4 which holds fluid, and an inner helical tubular member (8, fig.4) located within the outer casing 4, through which fluid can be delivered to the user. An outlet section 18 may be connected to the inner tubular member 8. A cap or lid 28 may be located over the outlet 18. The casing 4 is preferably made from a flexible material, and part of the casing may be formed as a flattened section 6. At least part of the outer casing 4 is preferably made from a frictionless material. The bottle may be wrapped around a user's arm. Carrying the bottle around a limb of the user frees up their hands for other purposes.

GB patent 2426508A is a water bottle with filter patent issued to Abu-Turab Mirmohammadi Nadir Mir Mohammadi. The patent discloses a plastic cap is used on containers, particularly of the type used commercially for five gallon bottles containing liquids such as drinking water. This is an improved, tamper evident version of the cap. The design is simple and very cost efficient compared to the existing caps available. It is light and easy to use and more hygienic besides being substantially cheaper. The central recess also includes a bottom portion that is in the form of a cone that projects from the guiding portion which allows splitting / opening of the caps when the container is installed onto the cooler/ dispenser and the cap is penetrated by the supply tube. This cap is versatile as it can be used in any kind of water dispenser, and is adaptable to a variety of filling lines in addition to being usable on three gallon and six gallon water bottles as well.

The neck wall of the cap is shorter by 15mm resulting in a saving of about 30% in the usage of raw materials.

Daily water bottle consumption system is a GB2484757A is issued to Michael Buckley. The patent discloses a spray cap of a mineral water bottle can be used with a resilient bottle to spray water to cool a user, or for drinking. The valve comprises a fixed seat with an outlet port (44, figure 7) in or on the cap and a closure member 32 with an inlet 30 on a part rotatably mounted in or on the cap to bring the port (44) and inlet 30 into or out of register to open or close the valve. An atomising spool 21 is an interference fit in a cavity in a nozzle 22 which is an interference fit in a cavity 38 of the rotatably mounted part.

GB patent 2199252A issued to Reginald Gordon Hillier discloses a water bottle with handle.

The patent describes a hot water bottle has a filler opening which is closable by a stopper. The bottle and the stopper are made of materials that are transparent to microwave radiation. The stopper has a pressure relief valve which is closed when the stopper is fully home and opens on partial release of the stopper. The stopper can have a hollow, externally-threaded shank portion the valve being constituted by a hole passing through the wall of the shank positioned so that it is open when the stopper is partially screwed. When the bottle is heated in a microwave oven, any steam generated can escape through the hole. Subsequently, the stopper is screwed home, thereby closing and sealing the bottle.
