Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mixing cap for isotonic drinks which provides several advantages and innovative features described in detail below to the function for which it is intended.
  • the object of the invention consists of a screw cap for bottles, especially designed for mixing the (powder) ingredients of an isotonic solution or similar drink, in water for attaining it, being able to do so at the moment of use, and furthermore allowing being able to drink said water before operating the mechanism which allows the mixing.
  • the field of application of the present invention is comprised within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of screw caps.
  • the mixing cap for isotonic drinks proposed by the present invention is configured as an evident novelty within its field of application because, as a result of its creation, the aforementioned objectives are absolutely achieved in a fully satisfactory manner, which is possible as a result of the particular features of said cap which are suitably described in the final claims.
  • the cap proposed by the invention is essentially configured from three complementary elements, consisting of a mixing cap or main cap, which incorporates a small inner deposit suitably sealed by means of a heat-sealing film, in the upper part of which it is provided with a nozzle to which another cap is coupled, and an inner cutting ring, intended for achieving the opening of the mentioned film in order to cause the mixing of the powder with the water housed in the bottle to which the cap has been applied.
  • the new mixing cap for isotonic drinks therefore represents an innovative structure having structural and constitutional features that have been unknown up until now for such purpose, which reasons, combined with its practical usefulness, give it the sufficient grounds for obtaining the exclusive right that is sought.
  • the invention is essentially configured from three complementary and independent elements, consisting of a mixing cap (1), a mouthpiece cap (2) and a cutting ring (3).
  • the mixing cap (1) which can more clearly be seen in Figures 2-A and 2-B , internally has the suitable threading for being coupled to the mouth (4) of the bottle for which it is intended and in which the water will be housed for drinking or mixing.
  • Said cap (1) furthermore has a fixing and opening ring (5) in its lower part, with a nozzle (6) in its upper part, provided with a dispenser (7), and with an inner deposit (8) which projects at the lower part thereof, which is intended for housing the powder which will allow, when mixed with the water, obtaining the isotonic drink.
  • This deposit (8) will be suitably sealed at its lower edge by means of a heat-sealing film (9) and will have a capacity that is proportional to the cap and suited to the amount of water housed in the bottle.
  • the mentioned deposit (8) has a shape such that it only partially occupies the inside of the mixing cap (1), leaving the passage from inside the bottle to the nozzle (6) free, as can be seen in the aforementioned Figures 2-A and 2-B , in order to allow its use without performing the mixing.
  • the mixing cap (1) internally incorporates, in its upper part, a locking ring (10) which enables said use before performing said mixing, as will be explained below.
  • the mouthpiece cap (2) shown in Figure 3 , is intended for closing the aforementioned nozzle (6), having a fixing ring (11) (suitably sealed by means of several fine points attaching it thereto), integrally attached to it by means of a hinge (12), and which will be fixed to the fitting groove (13), provided at the base of said nozzle (6), by means of the inner projections (14) it has for such purpose.
  • This mouthpiece cap (2) furthermore has an ergonomic side area (15) provided with ribs which facilitate its opening.
  • the cutting ring (3) is formed by two collars joined to one another, an upper collar (16), in which it has a recess (17) suitable for fitting in an inner projection (18) provided at the mouth (4) of the bottle in order to allow its fixing (shown in Figure 1 ), since said ring (3) is inserted into said mouth, and another lower collar (19), of greater height, for providing it with consistency, internally traversed by a crosspiece in which a tooth (20) has been provided, intended for perforating the heat-sealing film (9) covering the deposit (8) of the mixing cap (1), and a semicircular tab (21) which pushes said film, causing its opening.
  • the previously described mouthpiece cap (2) intended for covering the nozzle (6), has respective concentric locking rings (22) and (23) arranged in its inner area which determine a groove (24) in which the upper end (25) of the mentioned nozzle (6) tightly fits, thus preventing particles of powder of the mixture (once mixed) from entering the intermediate area (26) existing between the mouthpiece cap (2) and the nozzle (6) that may get it dirty.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show how before activating the mechanism which causes the mixing, i.e., in a first state, the cap of the invention, as previously stated, allows its use without the powder housed in the deposit (8) mixing with the water of the bottle, passing through it and coming out through the nozzle (6), since said deposit is hermetically sealed.
  • the mixing cap (1) incorporates the locking ring (10) preventing the exit of the liquid to the outside ( Figure 6 ), because it covers or blocks the upper edge of the mouth (4) of the bottle.
  • the mixing cap (1) To obtain the isotonic drink, i.e., to operate the mechanism and to cause the mixing of the powder with the water, the mixing cap (1) must be screwed on, which is possible because of the gap existing between the outer wall of the cap (1) and the previously mentioned locking ring (10), as well as the gap (27) existing between the outer fixing and opening ring (5) and the body of the cap (1), since said ring (5) is only attached to the body of the cap (1) by two or three fine points, such that when the cap (1) is further screwed on, the ring (5) is released, allowing it to be lowered.
  • said lowering of the cap (1) will cause the film (9) to break when it meets with the tooth (20) and the tab (21) provided in the cutting ring (3), as seen in Figure 7 , since the deposit (8) in which said powder is located has the size suitable for such purpose, partially projecting below the level of the outer wall of the cap (1).
