Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in caps for bottles and the like.
  • a cap for a bottle or the like said cap having means for co-operating with an opening in the bottle or the like in order to seal the contents of the bottle or the like and said cap further having a container adapted to hold a fluid and/or one or more solid objects and means for gaining access to the interior of the container, wherein the container is provided with a bottom and wherein a lower chamber is provided in the bottom of the container.
  • the cap may be provided with a screw-thread which is adapted to engage with a co-operating screw-thread on a bottle or the like for which the cap is intended.
  • the cap may be a push-fit in the opening of the bottle or the like for which the cap is intended.
  • the container in the cap may be provided with a releasable lid by means of which the contents of the container can be accessed and the container then reclosed.
  • the lid may be a simple push-fit into the cap or it may be provided with a screw-thread which is adapted to engage with a co-operating screw-thread provided at an opening to the container.
  • the container is adapted to project into an opening in the bottle or the like when the cap is in position on the bottle or the like.
  • the lid may be provided with a slot to facilitate removal of the lid from the container.
  • the container is adapted to hold a canister containing a fluid material such as a cordial concentrate.
  • the container may be adapted to contain one or more solid objects such as tablets.
  • the lower chamber is provided with an internal screw-thread and a blanking lid is adapted to engage with the internal screw-thread in the lower chamber, said lower chamber then serving to contain a fluid material or one or more solid objects when the blanking lid is screwed into the lower chamber.
  • An ice bottle or a flexible container having chemical heating means when pressed may be adapted to be screwed into the lower chamber.
  • the container has an outer wall defining the lower chamber and the outer wall may be provided with a groove adapted to receive an O-ring or seal.
  • Part of the exterior surface of the cap is preferably provided with a series of knurls to facilitate removal of the cap from a bottle or the like to which the cap has been secured.
  • the cap is desirably made of stainless steel or of a synthetic plastics material.
  • the cap according to the invention comprises a main body 1 which is formed integrally with the outer wall of a container 2.
  • the outer diameter of the container 2 is such that it can fit into the neck of a bottle for which the cap is intended.
  • the neck of the bottle (not shown) is intended to fit between the outside of the container 2 and the inside of the main body 1.
  • the interior surface of the main body 1 is preferably provided with an internal screw-thread (not shown) for engagement with a corresponding external screw-thread on the outer surface of the neck of the bottle.
  • the exterior surface of the main body 1 is provided with a series of knurls 3.
  • the container 2 projects beyond the upper end of the body 1 and is adapted to contain a canister 4 having a lid 5.
  • the canister 4 is held in the container 2 by a cap lid 6 which has an internal screw-thread for engagement with a cooperating screw thread 8 on the projecting end of the container 2.
  • the cap lid 6 is provided with a groove 7 in its upper surface to facilitate removal of the lid from the container.
  • the bottom of the container 2 is provided with a lower chamber 9 having an internal screw-thread (not shown).
  • the outer wall of the container 2 defining the chamber 9 is provided with a groove 10 which is adapted to receive an O-ring or seal 11.
  • a blanking lid 12 is screwed into the chamber 9 as shown in Figs. 1 to 3 of the drawings. However, if desired, the blanking lid 12 may be removed and replaced by an ice bottle 13 as indicated in Fig. 6 of the drawings.
  • the canister is intended to be filled with a cordial extract or tablets and the bottle for which the cap according to the invention is intended will normally be filled with water.
  • the contents of the canister can be poured into the bottle to provide a refreshing drink.
  • the ice bottle shown in Fig. 6 will be the kind readily obtainable and precooled in a freezer or refrigerator. It is preferred in such cases to use a bottle in the form of an insulated flask.
  • the ice bottle could also be replaced by a flexible container having chemical heating means when pressed. In that way, a heated beverage can be obtained from the bottle or flask and the canister could contain milk and/or sugar.
  • the cap according to the invention may be made of any suitable material but stainless steel or a synthetic plastics material are preferred.
  • the cap may have substantially the same diameter as the bottle for which it is intended or it may have a smaller diameter for a bottle with a reduced diameter neck portion.
  • an ice cap could be inserted into the chamber 9 and held therein by the blanking lid 12.
  • an ice bottle could be formed integrally with the container 2 so that the ice bottle is not detachable from the cap.
