Abstract

This is an improvement to plastic bottles by dividing the bottle into two separate but equal halves. Each compartment will feature a different flavour that with the use of the triple twist cap can mixed together to create yet another flavour.
This plastic cap will have the ability to twist from one flavour to another and the added ability to combine both flavours. This design could apply to many different shape and size bottles appealing to consumers need for variety. This could conceivably be carried out in a metal bottle. The plastic lining separates the two flavours and the removable triple twist cap would work well with sports bottles and flavoured water. This product is meant to provide a unique creative twist on the existing market.

Description

Split Sport Bottle Twist & Triple Twist Cap This js an improvement to plastic bottles by dividing the bottle into two separate but equal halves. Each compartment will feature a different flavour that with the use of the triple twist cap can be mixed together to create yet another flavour. The plastic cap will have the ability to twist from one flavour to another and the added ability to combine both flavours.
This design could apply to many different shape and size bottles appealing to consumers need for variety. This could conceivably be carried out in a glass bottle. The plastic lining separates the two flavours and the removable triple twist cap would work well with sports bottles and flavoured water. This product is meant for those in the food and beverage industry; it's meant to provide a unique and creative new twist on the existing market.

Technical Field: food and beverage industry Background Information: this is an improvement to an existing product. It's meant to provide increased variety to the consumer while incorporating an innovative and environmentally friendly aspect.
Description: the claim looks to address the public's desire for variety while offering an environmentally responsible solution. Instead of purchasing two plastic bottles for two flavours of a beverage the consumer can purchase a single container featuring two different and complimentary flavours. The cap allows them to be combined to create a new flavour thereby offering the ability to enjoy three flavours of a drink in one recyclable bottle.
List of Figures Figure 1 ¨ Split sport bottle twist Figure 2 ¨ Triple twist cap (3 openings) Figure 3 ¨ Triple twist cap, side 1 open Figure 4 ¨ Triple twist cap, side 2 open Figure 5 ¨ Triple twist cap, both sides open Details: the basic tenants involve splitting a plastic bottle, sports bottle, water bottle or other conceivably divisible beverage bottle. The revolutionary lid seen in figure 2, allows the purchaser to enjoy three flavours simply by twisting the lid from one compartmentalized flavour to the next. The cap's novel design allows for the added quality of the ability to combine both flavours to create a completely different sensation as seen in figure 5. Figure 3 demonstrates how this would look with one side open only while figure 4 illustrates how it appears with the opposite side open only.
The product is intended for soft drink and beverage consumers seeking a new and interesting medium for enjoying their favourite drinks.
