Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure device for a drinking container according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • nutritional compositions that are consumed especially before or during physical activity. These are primarily intended to improve the performance or the supply of important nutritional components. These nutritional compositions usually consist of an aqueous drinking solution and a solid or powdered nutritional supplement, which are mixed together and taken in a drinking container. Particularly in the case of isotonic nutritional compositions, there are already isotonic ready-to-drink drinks in which the powdery isotonic supplements have been added to the beverage bottler in an aqueous solution and can be eaten on-site as a ready-made drink from an enclosed drinking container.
  • the dietary supplements are usually supplied in powder form or as a solid in a soluble tablet form and mixed manually with a drinking or mineral water. This is very cumbersome especially in sports or at sporting locations and requires the separate entrainment of a container with drinking water, a container with the dietary supplements and a separate drinking container for mixing and drinking the processed beverage.
  • a main container for receiving a first substance which consists of a base and a surrounding side jacket having a container opening at the top.
  • a lid member with integrated storage chamber is arranged for airtight sealing, which is partially screwed via an external thread of the bottle neck on the main container.
  • the storage chamber consists of fixed inserts, which have a cylindrical shell and a final cover and are closed at the bottom by a dense film.
  • powdery or gaseous dietary supplements can be accommodated as a second substance.
  • a pressure body is additionally used, which has a cutting section down, which cuts through the film by a pressing pressure from above and thus introduces the second substance in the first substance of the main container, which is then mixed with this as a ready-made drink.
  • Such separated by films recording or storage chambers are basically suitable only for single use or cumbersome again sealed, so that this runs counter to repeated use. But even with a single use film residues can get into the drink, so it makes sense to fill this mixture via a sieving process in a separate drinking container.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a closure device for a drinking container, with the short-term dietary supplement ingredients are admixed to a beverage agent that is easy to handle and through which no impurities can enter the finished beverage.
  • the invention has the advantage that by the closure device with an integrated receiving chamber for additional nutritional ingredients and unstable beverage mixtures at any time and at any place with each other shortly before consumption are easily processed and can be readily taken from the drinking container to himself. This can be achieved in a simple manner by an easy-to-use sliding operation, without having to pierce partitions or release films with much effort.
  • Such a closure device also has the advantage that it consists of only a few simple easy-to-produce parts that are inexpensive to produce as plastic injection molded parts in mass production. For this purpose, then only a container bottle and the closure device is necessary, wherein advantageously the cavity of the closure device simultaneously forms the receiving chamber for the dietary supplement, which automatically causes the emptying into the interior of the drinking container through an addition opening in the lower part during the displacement process and thus initiates the mixing process.
  • no separating substance can be damaged by the invention, so that such a receiving chamber can be refilled at any time after use and thus reused by the user can.
  • the closure device can also be quickly disassembled into its few components, which are then advantageously easy to clean for reuse.
  • a closable mouthpiece is simultaneously arranged on the upper closure element, through which the drinking liquid can be drunk immediately after the mixing process without further measures and which can also be reused for refilling with a dietary supplement.
  • This may advantageously be both powdered, liquid or soluble solid dietary supplements, which are almost arbitrarily dosed.
  • the closure device for a drinking container is shown.
  • the closure device consists essentially of an upper closure element 1 and a lower axially displaceable cover member 2 and a receiving chamber 3 arranged therebetween, the lower cover 2 is connected to an actuator 4, by the cover 2 from the outside via an actuating element 5 axially displaceable is.
  • the closure device is provided to close a bottle in its bottle neck piece and at the same time to ensure the supply of a dietary supplement from the integrated receiving chamber 3.
  • the closure device between the upper closure element 1 and the lower cover 2, the receiving chamber 3, which consists essentially of a Inner pipe socket 6 is formed.
  • This receiving chamber 3 is closed airtight by the upper closure element 1 and the lower cover 2.
  • an outer pipe socket 7 is still arranged, which is connected by an upper 8 and a lower ring member 9 with the inner pipe socket 6.
  • an annular cavity 10 is left between the two pipe socket 6.7, in which the actuating device 4 is arranged for axial displacement of the lower cover member 2.
  • the actuating device 4 includes a guided in the cavity 10 sliding ring 11 which is connected via preferably four connecting rods 12 as connecting elements with the lower cover member 2.
  • a compression spring 13 is arranged, which presses the sliding ring 11 in the non-actuated state axially upwards, so that the lower cover 2 rests tightly on the lower ring member 9 and thus closes the receiving chamber 3.
  • the lower cover 2 is preferably formed as a flat circular disk, which may also have a conical structure upwards.
  • a sealing element 14 is still attached to the support surface of the lower cover 2.
  • the sealing element 14 is preferably made of a tasteless sealing material, e.g. represents a rubber seal or a plastic sealing ring.
  • an actuating element 5 is non-positively connected, which is guided via an axial slot in the outer pipe socket 7 to the outside.
  • the actuating element 5 is preferably formed as a radially kinking flat displacement handle, the manual Axial displacement of the arranged in the cavity 10 Verschieberings 11 serves, through which the receiving chamber 3 is releasable to the interior of the drinking container.
  • the actuating device 4 can be embodied as a plastic injection-molded part, which is welded together during assembly or is assembled from individual parts.
  • the actuating element 5 may also be designed as a lever arm, which is supported via a hinge part on the sliding ring 11 and can move it axially.
  • the actuating element 5 can also be designed as a radial pivot lever which engages with the sliding ring 11 via a slanted slot element and thereby axially displaces the sliding ring 11 supported on a spring.
  • the actuating element 5 is preferably slidably guided over one or two fixing ribs 15, which fix the actuating device 4 in one or more open positions.
  • the outer pipe socket 7 may also be made in two parts, which is fauxgeschnappt after assembly of the actuator 4 or screwed together. In this case, all parts are preferably made of plastics, which are easy and inexpensive to produce as plastic injection molded parts.
  • a connecting ring 16 is attached to the outer pipe socket 7, which preferably has an internal thread which can be screwed onto an external thread of a drinking bottle.
  • the connecting ring 16 could also be formed on the inside as a concave ring element which can be snapped onto a convex round edge of a drinking container.
  • an external thread could also be formed on the outer pipe socket 7 at least in the lower region, which can then be screwed into a drinking container with an internal thread.
  • the upper closure element 1 is lid-shaped preferably designed as a round lid with a central outlet opening or mouthpiece 17.
  • a closable mouthpiece 17 is preferably integrally formed on the upper closure element 1, through which the content of the drinking bottle can be consumed directly.
  • a molded cap is preferably provided, which is snapped over a round edge on the mouthpiece 17.
  • the lower cover 2 is located by at least one compression spring 13 tight on the lower ring member 9 and thus closes the receiving chamber 3 to the drinking bottle interior, in which preferably an aqueous drinking liquid is filled, in which the proposed dietary supplement from the receiving chamber 3 are mixed should.
  • the nutritional supplement can be previously filled in the intended amount on the open upper closure element 1 in the receiving chamber 3 and this can be closed again. If necessary, then the actuating element 5 is axially displaced downward against the spring force of the compression spring 13, so that the lower cover 2 by the actuator 4 moves axially downwards.
  • the lower cover 2 opens the receiving chamber 3 via an annular gap 18 as an addition opening, through which the dietary supplement is metered into the drinking liquid and can be mixed with this.
  • annular gap 18 is open then the mixed Drinking liquid on the receiving chamber 3 and the mouthpiece 17 are opened.
  • the closure device to produce, in which the thin tubular mouthpiece 17 is sealed by the lower cover 2 is guided into the interior of the drinking container. Then a drinking process with open mouthpiece 17 and closed receiving chamber 3 is possible.
