Description

Cap for attachment to a liquid container

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a cap, preferably Schraubverschlusskappe, for attachment to a liquid container, preferably a bottle, more preferably a PET bottle, wherein the cap

at least includes

a preferably resealable spout opening,

- A receiving element for receiving at least one

Dispensing body, preferably at least one tablet, wherein the receiving element is permeable to a liquid in order to allow a contacting of the at least one dispensing body with the liquid,

- An opening to bring the at least one dispensing body in a receiving volume or to remove from the receiving volume can.

The present invention also relates to a dispensing body, preferably a tablet, for admixing with a liquid contained in a liquid container closed with a closure cap according to the invention.

Finally, the present invention relates to a system including a cap according to the invention and

at least one dispensing body according to the invention. STATE OF THE ART

In order to be able to take liquid on the way or during sport, drinking bottles, in particular drinking bottles with a cap are known. The bottles usually have threads on which the caps are screwed. The threads are standardized and the number of differently standardized thread of these bottles is low. On the one hand, these bottles can be prefilled, for example with mineral water, which may also be mixed with flavorings, or with an isotonic beverage. On the other hand, they can be bottles which are intended to contain a liquid mixed by the user as desired. For this case, in addition to fruit juice syrups especially

Showers in powder or tablet form available. A disadvantage in both cases that the user on the concrete beverage mixture for the entire Aufbrauchsdauer the drink, ie between the beginning and end of the

Beverage consumption, is fixed. That he can no longer change the flavor during beverage consumption, since the liquid still present in the bottle has only the flavor once selected.

But not only the taste desire can change between the beginning and end of beverage consumption. For example, if the user has opted for a non-isotonic beverage, and after a certain period of time in which he wishes to drink e.g. Sport has an isotonic drink, so this is also no longer possible with the liquid still present in the bottle.

In the case of beverage preparation by effervescent tablets is also the use of chemicals to dissolve the

Effervescent tablet required. That the use of pure

natural substances for beverage preparation is not possible here, which is to be regarded as disadvantageous. Furthermore, it can happen with both effervescent and effervescent tablets that the powder or the

Tablet does not completely dissolve and get parts of the powder or tablet in the mouth of the user, what as

uncomfortable.

An incomplete dissolution can also with a not optimally selected dosage, especially with too high

Concentration of the powder or the tablet related. However, it is not always easy to maintain the correct dosage because, strictly speaking, when mixing the powder or tablet with the liquid (in the

Normally water), the actual amount of liquid must be considered.

These disadvantages can at least partially according to the

US2010 / 0012193A1 be remedied. This describes a liquid container with cap, which is made in three parts; a tablet container, a container lid and a cap closure. For inserting a

Tablet in the tablet container, the container lid must be unscrewed and then screwed again. The disadvantage is the fact that the container lid can fall down or get lost.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a

Provide closure cap for liquid container, which allows the addition of flavors and / or nutrients and / or food supplements and / or medicinal agents to a liquid which can be received in the liquid container while avoiding the disadvantages described above. In particular, a simple handling

be guaranteed, which is a simple change of Flavorings and / or nutrients and / or

Dietary supplements allowed. Furthermore, should

Dosage problems, in particular too high concentrations of flavors and / or nutrients and / or

Dietary supplements are avoided in the liquid. Here also the possibility to avoid

Chemicals are created so that can be used to admix purely natural substances.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

These objects are achieved by a closure cap, preferably screw cap, for attachment to a liquid container, preferably a bottle, particularly preferably a PET bottle, wherein the closure cap

at least includes

a preferably resealable spout opening,

- A receiving element for receiving at least one

- An opening to bring the at least one dispensing body by means of the receiving element in a receiving volume or to be able to remove from the receiving volume.

It is provided that the receiving element in the

Operating position of the cap is actuated and through the opening both from the receiving volume in a

Loading position for changing the dispensing body as well as in the receiving volume can be brought into a dispensing position.

Thus, the dispensing body can be replaced without having to separate the cap from the liquid container. The receiving element is thus actuated laterally on the closure cap, approximately in the direction normal to the longitudinal axis of the Cap. The opening is also located on the side of the cap. In the loading position, the opening for introducing the dispensing body is open, the receiving element is at least partially removed from the receiving volume, so that befindlicher on or in the receiving element

Removed dispensing body and / or inserted a dispensing body on or in the empty receiving element (or even the

Receptacle changed) can be. In the dispensing position, the opening for introducing the dispensing body is closed, liquid which flows from a liquid container into the cap attached thereto can then emerge from the cap only through the spout opening, or through a mouthpiece attached thereto. The opening for introducing or removing the dispensing body is then so

sealed liquid-tight.

The sealed with the cap according to the invention liquid container, particularly preferably designed as a PET bottle, has a conventional spout opening or

Bottle opening on the top of the cap

Operating position is closed. The cap is preferably a screw cap that fits all standard water bottles or you can use a few different caps the few different standardized bottle thread types. The cap is usually provided with a mouthpiece, which is the spout opening of the cap

closes and from a closed position into a

Release position, preferably by moving the

Mouthpiece, can be transferred. In the closed position, no liquid can pass through the mouthpiece

Pass through the cap. In the operating position thus the safe storage of the liquid in

Liquid container with inventive cap allows, even if this transported or during sports from User is taken. In the release position, liquid can pass through the cap through the mouthpiece and the user is allowed to drink.

The receiving element is arranged in the dispensing position within the receiving volume and releasably fixed, which in addition to walls of the receiving element of inner walls of the

Cap is limited. This arrangement allows the liquid to flow through the receiving element primarily when drinking, when the liquid container is guided to the mouth of the user. Is in the receiving element

arranged at least one dispensing body, so this is flowed around by the liquid while drinking and can substances or

Substances, in particular flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicinal

Active ingredients to deliver the liquid. That it comes to a mixture with the liquid immediately before the user actually drinks the mixture. An excessive concentration of the desired substances in the liquid can thus be avoided in principle. It should be noted that when discontinuing the

Liquid container (the bottle) after drinking, in general, some of the liquid from the

Receiving element will flow back into the liquid container. In this case, a certain proportion of the above substances or substances in the remaining, in

Liquid container liquid to be transferred, which is to be considered in the design of the dispensing body and its discharge characteristics.

To prevent the task body from the

Absorbs volume, the receiving volume is - regardless of the concrete receiving volume form - preferably enclosed on all sides. Here is one

Permeability to liquid given, for example can be realized by small openings, so that there is still an all-round enclosure of the receiving volume. The all-round enclosure of the receiving volume can be given by the receiving element itself or by the

Receptacle in cooperation with another part of the cap.

In order to achieve a cost-effective production of the cap, the receiving element and / or other parts of the cap can be made of plastic.

The permeability of the receiving element for the liquid is in a preferred embodiment of the

Liquid container according to the invention realized in that the receiving element has through openings, which are preferably arranged grid-shaped or grid-shaped. In this way it is also reliably avoided that the dispensing body or parts of the dispensing body reach after drinking in the liquid container.

A possible contacting of the delivery body with the

Liquid before drinking basically depends on the arrangement of the receiving element in the cap. With vertical liquid container can be a

Contacting be avoided when the receiving element is entirely in a formed by the cap volume. This means that volume which is limited on the one hand by the closure cap and on the other hand by an imaginary surface, which in turn is bounded by an edge of the closure cap. This imaginary surface is actually free of material to the

Connect the cap with the liquid container, preferably to be able to screw. This means that in this case a contact only when tilting the

Bottle takes place as the user does while drinking

performs. Accordingly, it is at a preferred Embodiment of the liquid container according to the invention provided that the entire receiving element in dispensing position in a formed by the cap volume

is arranged. So that the receiving element does not fall out of the closure cap in the loading position and is lost or gets dirty, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment of the liquid container according to the invention that the receiving element attached to the closure cap, preferably releasably secured. If the receiving element can be pulled out of the closure cap approximately like a drawer, a safety device could be provided which, in normal use, prevents complete withdrawal and e.g. for the purpose of cleaning the receiving element can be overcome by certain measures. An embodiment of the invention provides that the opening (about the at least one

Introduce dispensing body in a receiving volume or to be able to remove from the receiving volume) is liquid-tightly closed by the receiving element in the operating position of the cap. In this case, therefore, no separate closure is required for this opening, the receiving element itself serves as a closure of the opening. In particular, a liquid-tight region of the receiving element in

Discharge position of the receiving element a part of

Form outside surface of the closure cap, so the externally visible surfaces of the cap and receiving element so continuously merge into each other. This forms the

Receiving element with the cap a common

Of course, it would also be possible to close the opening with a flap attached to the cap or a slider as soon as the receiving element has been brought into the dispensing position. The actuation of the receiving element can advantageously be designed so that the receiving element relative to

Cap is displaced, in particular along a straight line. Thus, the receiving element can be similar to a drawer pulled out of the cap or pushed into it. The direction of the displacement can in particular normal to the longitudinal axis (= axis of rotation at substantially

rotationally symmetrical caps or ident with the axis of rotation of a bottle to which the cap is attached or the direction in which the liquid enters the cap) of the cap. On the inside of the cap corresponding guides for the translational movement, such as depressions (grooves) or beads may be provided. Alternatively, the receiving element relative to

Be cap rotatable, in particular about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap.

Also conceivable are combinations of translatory and rotational movement of the receiving element during insertion or withdrawal from the closure cap.

A particularly simple and comfortable filling of the

Receiving element can be realized by the

Receiving element is designed as a tray, which from the outside into the corresponding opening in the cap

pushed in and out of the corresponding opening can be pulled out again. That to fill the

Receiving element is pulled selbiges from the corresponding opening, at least one dispensing body is in the

Inserted receiving element, and the receiving element is then pushed back into the corresponding opening. It is therefore preferably provided a receiving element, the one

Has bottom surface and a lateral surface (but no

Cover surface which closes the receiving element), where on the bottom surface passage openings are arranged. Between receiving element and spout opening of the cap then another element is arranged with through holes for a liquid so that the dispensing body or parts thereof can not get to the mouthpiece. To operate (pull out and in, and / or rotate) the

Can also facilitate on a receiving element

WAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 shows a liquid container in the form of a bottle 5 with a cap 7. The cap 7 is shown in an operating position 8, in which the

Cap 7 a spout 9 of the bottle. 5

closes. The closure cap 7 is screwed onto the bottle 5 by means of a thread 34 (see FIG. Not shown here surface structures 35 in the form of indentations (see Fig. 4) can a user the

Attaching the cap 7 on the bottle 5 easier.

The closure cap 7 is provided with a mouthpiece 33, which is shown in FIG. 1 in a closed position 11. In the closure position 11, the closure cap 7 for a liquid 37, which is received in the bottle 5 and having a liquid level 38, impermeable. By moving the mouthpiece 33 along a longitudinal axis 10 (see Fig. 2), the mouthpiece 33 of the

Closure position 11 in a release position (not

shown) are brought. In the release position, the cap 7 for the liquid 37 is permeable to allow the user to drink from the bottle 5.

The bottle 5 has bottle inner walls 6, which define a volume 4 together with the closure cap 7 in the operating position 8. In this volume 4 is according to the invention a Receiving element 1 is arranged, which is inserted into the cap 7. Fig. 2 illustrates such

Embodiment based on an axonometric view of a cut-open cap 7, Fig. 3 shows the

associated, pulled out of the cap 7

Receiving element 1. The receiving element 1 has a

Receiving volume 20 with an approximately cylindrical

Recording volume shape. The receiving element 1 is shown here only schematically and will be more detailed below

described.

The receiving volume 20 makes it possible to receive at least one dispensing body, preferably at least one tablet 2 (see FIG. 18), which differs from the one in the bottle 5

absorbed liquid 37, in particular during the

Drinking, can be contacted. This can be a

Be prepared or substances such as flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicinal agents may be delivered to the liquid.

In the case shown, the receiving element 1 consists of a bottom surface 16 and a lateral surface 17 which the

Floor surface 16 encloses. The bottom surface 16 has

Through openings 15, it can be formed approximately from a grid. The receiving element 1 has no top surface, so it is open at the top, so that a tablet 2 can be easily inserted from above. So that the tablet 2 or parts thereof can not leave the receiving volume 20 upwards towards the mouthpiece 33, in the closure cap 7 between the receiving element 1 (in the closed loading position) and the pouring opening 9 (or the mouthpiece 33) a to

Bottom surface 16 - another element 13 with through holes

15 arranged for a liquid. The further element 13 is arranged here directly above the receiving element 1, so that the receiving volume 20 is enclosed on all sides and corresponds to the free volume within the receiving element 1. Floor element 16 and further element 13 are arranged here flat and parallel to each other.

Through the passage openings 15 of the bottom surface 16 and the element 13, the liquid 37 at least at

Drinking process in the receiving volume 20 occur and thus comes into contact with the tablets 2 located in the receiving volume 20. As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the

Through holes 15 arranged regularly, resulting in a grid shape or lattice shape. By the

Through holes 15 is the production of a drink or the release of substances, in particular of

Flavorings and / or nutrients and / or

Dietary supplements and / or medicinal agents from the tablets 2 to the liquid 37 allows. So that the receiving element 1 exactly its dispensing position

can take on the inside of the coat of the

Closure cap 7 guide means, as here a groove 14, provided. The actuation of the receiving element 1 is an auxiliary device 18, namely a projection 19. Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of

Cap 7, which can be screwed onto all standard water bottles, in particular PET bottles, by means of the thread 34. In order to make it easier for the user to screw on and unscrew the closure cap 7, the closure cap 7 shown in FIG. 4 has a surface structure 35, which in this case is designed as a corrugation. In addition, the closure cap 7 of FIG. 4 has a removable cover 3 through which the mouthpiece 33 can be concealed, as shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 shows an axonometric view of the cut-open closure cap 7 from FIG. 4, the associated receiving element 1 is pulled out and shown in FIG. 6. Compared with the variant shown in FIGS. 1-3, the closure cap 7 of FIGS. 4-6 has a greater extent along the longitudinal axis 10. This creates more space for the opening 12, which in its dimensions and shape

corresponding to that shown in FIG

Receiving element 1 or to its receiving volume 20 is executed.

In both variants is the

Receiving element 1 entirely in a volume that is formed by the cap 7 alone. This is one

Volume meant on the one hand is limited by the cap 7 and on the other hand by an imaginary surface, which in turn is bounded by an edge 40 of the cap 7. This imaginary surface is actually free of material in order to be able to connect the closure cap 7 to the bottle 5 (see FIG. 1), preferably by screwing by means of the thread 34.

The receiving element 1 of FIG. 6 is designed approximately cylindrical and again has a bottom surface 16 and a lateral surface 17. The receiving element 1 can thus again like a tray into the corresponding opening 12 of the

Cap 7 pushed into or pulled out of the opening 12 - even if the cap 7 is in the operating position. The closure cap 7 is in the operating position 8, the receiving element 1 is in this way through the corresponding opening 12 in the

Inserted or brought out of the cap 7. Accordingly, the user does not have to unscrew the cap 7 from the bottle 5 to fill the receiving element 1 with tablets 2. The bottom surface 16 points away from the mouthpiece 33 when the receiving element 1 is pushed into the corresponding opening 12 of the closure cap 7. The receiving element 1 is shown here only schematically and will be described in more detail below. Directly above the inserted receiving element 1 is a - here circular - element 13 with

Through openings 15, which the receiving volume 20th

completes. The receiving element 1 in Fig. 6 could also be a with

Through holes 15 provided removable (e.g.

foldable) cover surface, so that the

Receiving volume 20 is surrounded by the receiving element 1 itself on all sides. Then can be dispensed with the element 13.

The receiving element 1 for the embodiment of FIGS. 4-6 could also be designed as in Fig. 17, where the receiving volume 20 is completely enclosed by receiving element 1 itself, namely by the cylindrical, liquid impermeable lateral surface 17, and by the for Liquid-permeable bottom surface 16 and top surface 21. In this case, the element 13 in the closure cap 7 can be dispensed with again due to the top surface 21. In the receiving element 1 according to FIG. 17, a delivery body 2 could be inserted before closing on the production side and then the receiving element 1 can not be releasably closed. When the dispenser body 2 is consumed or another dispenser body is desired, another dispenser body 1 is loaded with another (e.g., unused) dispenser body 2. In order to be able to push the receiving element 1 comfortably into the opening 12 or to be able to pull it out of the opening 12, the receiving element shown in FIG. 6 has an auxiliary device 18 in the form of a projection 19 on the lateral surface 17, on which the user acts on the receiving element 1 can.

Of course, the auxiliary device 18 could also comprise further elements, for example a depression (not shown) in the lateral surface 17. To the tightness of the cap 7 when inserted

Not to jeopardize receiving element 1 are none

Through holes 15 in the lateral surface 17, but only through holes 15 in the bottom surface 16 are provided. FIG. 7 again shows a closure cap 7 of the same type as that of FIG. 4. In the region of the receiving element 1, the closure cap 7 is cylindrical. However, in Fig. 7, a receiving element 1 is provided, with its

Jacket surface 17, which is part of a cylinder jacket here, in the dispensing position, the opening 12 liquid-tight

closes, as can be seen in Fig. 8. The lateral surface 17 thus forms part of the lateral surface 36 of the

Closure cap 7.

The matching to Fig. 7 receiving element 1, as in Fig. 9 from the semi-cylindrical outer surface 17, a for

Fluid permeable bottom surface 16 and a for

Liquid permeable cover surface 21, wherein the bottom and top surface 16, 21 to the lateral surface 17 of the

Connect receiving element 1 and in the dispensing position, when the receiving element 1 is fully inserted into the cap 7, connect to the lateral surface 36. Thus, a dispensing body (tablet) 2, which is located in the receiving volume 20, completely enclosed in this, the whole dispensing body 2 or parts thereof can not reach the mouthpiece 33, which is covered here by the cover 3.

As an alternative to FIG. 9, the receiving element 1 from FIG. 7 may also be formed without a cover surface 21, as shown in FIG. 10. Then, however, a further element 13 with passage openings must be arranged in the closure cap 7 between the receiving element 1 and the pouring opening 9 or mouthpiece 33, as shown in FIG. 5.

11 and 12 show again a cap 7 of the same type as those of Figs. 4 and 7, wherein here a Receiving element 1 is shown (see FIG. 13), which does not occupy the entire width of the cap 7. The

Receiving element 1 here has a substantially rectangular shape, wherein a part of the lateral surface 17 (here a narrow side) the liquid-tight closure of the opening 12 in the

Forming surface 36 of the closure cap forms. The rest of

The lateral surface 17 is in the dispensing position of the

Receiving element 1 within the lateral surface 36th

The receiving element 1 has a liquid-permeable planar top surface 21 and bottom surface 16. So that

Liquid can not flow past the receiving element 1, is in the interior of the cap 7 in the region of

Height extension of the receiving element 1 a lock

(Facing) 39 is provided, which is the cross section of

Closure cap 7 between receiving element 1 (in

Abgabeposition) and lateral surface 36 of the cap 7 closes, see Fig. 14. At the barrier (veneer) 39 and / or at other locations on the inside of the

Cap 7 guides (beads, grooves) may be attached, which cooperate with corresponding guides on the receiving element 1 and along which the receiving element 1 can be inserted into the cap 7 and pulled out of this.

In general, for all embodiments with a displaceable receiving element 1, guides may be provided on the receiving element 1 and / or on the inside of the closure cap 7.

The receiving element 1 in Fig. 13 could have a hinged top surface 21, so that the dispensing body 2 can be changed. But it could also be made recording elements 1 as disposable products, where the receiving volume 12 is not accessible, the dispensing body 2 is therefore not removable (bottom surface 16 and top surface 21 are not detachably connected to the lateral surface 17) and the entire receiving element 1 would have to be changed to insert another dispensing body 2.

However, it could be the receiving element 1 in Fig. 13 without

Deck surface 21 may be formed, wherein the receiving volume 20 then with a further element 13 analogous to FIG. 2 to

close would be.

FIGS. 15 and 16 again show a closure cap 7 of the same type as that of FIGS. 4, 7 or 11. The

Receiving element 1 is now by means of a - here parallel to the longitudinal axis 10 of the cap 7 arranged - hinge 41 rotatably attached to the cap 7. The hinge 41 could e.g. on a vertical web, which is arranged outside of the lateral surface 36, be attached to the closure cap 7. The receiving element 1 can be actuated by means of projection 19 (horizontally unfolded or unscrewed).

The receiving element 1 can now be designed so that its lateral surface 17 surrounds it all around (in this case has the shape of a cylinder jacket) and that in the dispensing position (FIG. 15) the lateral surface 17 is liquid-tight at the top and bottom

Jacket surface 36 of the cap 7 closes. The opening 12 of the cap would be in this case

cylinder jacket, the entire jacket 17 of the

Receiving element 1 would in the operating position 8 of

Seal cap 7 to seal it in a liquid-tight manner.

In this case, the receiving element 1 itself again

Include receiving volume 20, by means of top surface 21 and bottom surface 16. It would then also conceivable that the

Receiving element 1 on the production side already with a

Dispensing body 2 equipped and the lateral surface 17, the

Deck surface 21 and the bottom surface 16 are not detachably connected to each other. The receiving element 1 would then be a

Disposable product, to change the dispensing body 2, the receiving element would have hung out of the hinge 41 and a new Receiving element 1 with therein dispensing body 2 are hung in the hinge.

The receiving element 1 may also be formed without top surface 21, but then has to between receiving element 1 and

Spout 9 again another element 13 are arranged, analogous to FIG. 2.

However, the receiving element 1 (and the jacket 36 of the closure cap 7) can also be configured as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. In the case of FIG. 9, the hinge 41 would then act on a vertical end of the lateral surface 17. In

Loading position could, where no lateral surface 17 is present, a dispensing body 2 between bottom surface 16 and top surface 21 are inserted. In the case of FIG. 10, because of the missing top surface 21, a dispensing body 2 can be laid comfortably on the bottom surface 16 from above, a further element 13 in the closure cap 7 would close the receiving volume 20 upwards. Both in the embodiment of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the lateral surface 17 would be the opening 12th

close liquid-tight.

Of course, the receiving elements of FIGS. 4-16 can also be used for other types of closures

Adjustment of closure cap and receiving element can be used. For example, a closure cap 7 from FIG. 1 could also be turned out of the closure cap

Receiving element 1 as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 or a

narrower receiving element 1 as shown in Fig. 13 are used.

In general, all embodiments of receiving elements, whether rotatable or displaceable, can also be designed such that they do not form part of the lateral surface 36 of the closure cap 7 in the dispensing position. You would have to normal to

Longitudinal axis are dimensioned smaller. Then, approximately the opening 12 in Fig. 16 would be partially from the lateral surface 36 of Closing element 7 closed (as in Fig. 8), the

remaining opening 12 could by a flap (a

Slider, etc.) are sealed liquid-tight, which - to avoid loss of the flap - can be hinged to the outside of the cap 7. The flap can form part of the lateral surface 36 of the closure element.

In all embodiments, where the opening 12 through the

Receiving element 1 or a part of the receiving element 1 (approximately by a part of the lateral surface 17) is liquid-tightly closed, on the (part of) the receiving element (s) 1 a closure is provided which upon insertion of the

Receiving element 1 in the cap 7 with the

Closing cap 7. The closure can overlap at both ends with the cap 7 and

engage. The same principle of the closure can

be applied when the opening 12 - as described above - is closed by its own flap.

In order to produce tightness between the flap or receiving element 1 on the one hand and the closure cap 7 or its lateral surface 36 on the other hand, additional seals may be provided.

Fig. 18 shows an axonometric view of a

sliced, schematically illustrated tablet 2, which can be arranged in a receiving element 1 according to the invention. In the case of the embodiment of the tablet 2 shown in Fig. 18, it has a cylindrical shape. This shape, in turn, belongs to that embodiment variant of the receiving element 1 which is shown in FIG. However, it is of course also conceivable, the tablet 2 of

Fig. 18 in the receiving element 1 of FIG. 3 to arrange or must the shape of the tablet 2 in principle not the

Recording volume 20 correspond. One condition, however, which must be met in any case, is that a dispensing body volume 24 of the tablet 2 may not be greater than the receiving volume 20.

In order to keep the tablet 2 permanently in the dispenser body mold 22, the tablet 2 has a gauze 23 which is arranged on a dispenser body outside 26.

Fig. 18 also shows that the dispensing body volume 24 is partially filled by a plastic sponge 25. In addition, 24 balls 27 are arranged in the dispensing body volume. In this case, the liquid 37 through the

Plastic sponge 25 to the balls 27 penetrate. The

net-like fabric of the gauze 23 is also for the

Liquid 37 permeable.

The balls 27 act as water-soluble elements to make a beverage or flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medical

Release active substances, so that an admixture to

Liquid 37 can take place. For this purpose, the balls 27 are constructed in accordance with the cross-sectional view of FIG. 19. That Each ball 27 has a surface 29 formed by a water-soluble glaze layer 28, preferably sugar. The glaze layer 28 defines a ball interior 30 and has a certain glaze layer thickness 31. In the ball interior 30 is the liquid 37 to be added substance, in particular

Flavorings and / or nutrients and / or

Dietary supplements and / or medical agents arranged. In the embodiment of FIG. 19 is the

Ball interior 30 filled with syrup 32.

Only when the glaze layer 28 having the glaze layer thickness 31 is dissolved, is the syrup 32 released or mixed with the liquid 37. The glaze layer thickness 31 may be different in size with different balls 27, so that the resolution of the

Glaze layers 28 takes different lengths. Accordingly, the timing of the addition of the syrup 32 can be designed. In addition, the different balls 27 in their respective ball interior 30 different

Contain substances. Thus, some balls 27 may contain syrup 32, other balls 27 other substances, for example, after a certain time, i. after a certain period of contact of the balls 27 with the fluid 37 to provide an isotonic beverage.

Moreover, the balls 27 themselves may be of different sizes, i. have different diameters, as indicated in Fig. 18. In interaction with different glaze layer thicknesses 31, depending on the duration of the contact of the balls 27 with the liquid 37, different amounts of the particles in the interior of the ball 30 can be produced

substances, for example syrups 32,

be released. After all, it is of course possible, different

Substances (as stated above, not necessarily syrups 32) in different sized balls 27 with different glaze layer thicknesses 31 to arrange. Thus, the time course of the admixture of different amounts of different substances to the liquid 37 can be set.
