Description

Pa2e 1 2428238 Title - The Drinking Vessel Notes to be taken into account

Note (1) - For the purpose of this documentation the term Spiked' refers to a person placing an unwanted substance into another persons drink. The contamination of a drink can be carried out by dropping, pouring, or sprinkling substances in the form of a tablet, liquid, and/or powder, into another persons drinking vessel.

Note (2) - The term Drinking Vessel' refers to the receptacle with which a drink is poured into, and drunk from. For example, personnel of an establishment for instance a Licence Bar or Night Club, pour an ordered drink, for example, a Coke or Orange Juice, into the Drinking Vessel, for example, a glass.

Note (3) - The term Glass' in this documentation does not specifically refer to the hard, brittle, usually transparent substance made by fusing sand with soda and lime.

The material with which drinking vessels are manufactured can vary. Some establishments serve drinks in Glass' vessels, and others serve drinks in Plastic' vessels for safety purposes. The term Glass' in this documentation refers to a drinking vessel.

Backtround This invention relates to a drinking vessel that prevents the contents of the vessel, normally a drink, from being Spiked' or contaminated with substances. (rM

When a customer purchases a drink, for example, a Coke from a licensed bar, the vessel with which the drink is poured into, for example, a glass, is prone and vulnerable to contamination attempts. Such attempts can be highly successful for a perpetrator because the drinking vessels used in most establishments are open topped', therefore easy for the perpetrator to add a substance to the contained drink.

Note (4) - The term open topped' used in the above paragraph refers to a drinking vessel that does not have any kind, or form of lid, cap, or similar covering across the top of the vessel.

When a consumable liquid contained within a standard drinking vessel has been spiked', the owner of the drink normally' has no knowledge of any foreign substances being placed into their drink. Likely substances to be used by a perpetrator would be in the form of tablets, powders, or liquids. The consequences of a person consuming a contaminated drink can be' physically, mentally, and fatally damaging. Pa2e2

Statement of Invention

To overcome this potentially vulnerable poisoning, the present invention proposes a drinking vessel designed with numerous prevention aids. The ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is designed as such so that a person can drink freely from the vessel, whilst deterring and preventing the actions of a perpetrator from placing substances into the contained drink. The ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) also prevents the consumer from Downing' the drink contained within.

Note (5) - The term Downing' a drink used in the above paragraph refers to a person consuming a drink all-in-one-go from a vessel, for example, a glass. For a person to be Downing a drink all-in-one-go would mean that they consume the drink from the vessel continuously, without stopping, until the drink had been consumed. Allowing the human body to consume large amounts of alcohol in short periods of time, with a contiguous flow prevents the inhalation of oxygen to the body. This action encourages any alcohol to take affect immediately, consequently distorting normal functionalities. Alcohol saturation to the human body can affect the consumers' mental state of mind, and physical stability.

For the purpose of this documentation, the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) has been broken down into six units to better describe separate explanations, and outlining their particular functions.

Component 1 - Outer Cylinder The ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) consists of an Outer Cylinder, which is roller-shaped in body, has substance outlets, and is a solid hollow receptacle used to contain liquid.

Component 2-Inner Cylinder A second cylinder, roller-shaped in body but smaller in diameter than the Outer Cylinder, is attached and encapsulated inside the Outer Cylinder. A narrow space separates the two cylinder walls forming a cavity hollow between the two cylinders. The quantity of liquid poured from the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) at any one time by the consumer is determined by the quantity of liquid present in the cavity hollow. Such limitations are enforced to apply and regulate the quantity of liquid released from the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) to the consumer.

Component 3- Flow Control Rin2 The FCR (Flow Control Ring) is cylindrical band, which forms a Flow Regulating Chamber in body between itself and the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Approach Slope. When the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is tilted into the pouring position the FCR (Flow Control Ring) regulates the movement and flow of the contained liquid as it passes through the Flow Regulating Chamber.

Pace 3 Component 4- Protection Canopy Shield The Protection Canopy Shield is an overhanging shelter, roof-like, protection plate, which has a peak at its centre forming a pointed top, defending and strengthening the area beneath it.

Component 5- Filter Protection Ring Encompassing the inside rim, at the top of the Outer Cylinder circumference is an encircling band of equally spaced angled-fins, forming a cylindrical protection ring. This prevention aid is used for discouraging and suppressing unwanted objects, whilst motioning the movement of liquid in a given direction.

Component 6- Lockable Cover Resembljn2 Cap The LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is a removable cap designed to close, seal, and protect the contents of the cylinder. Constructed in the body of the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is a locking mechanism that is opened with a key.

***Important Note (LCRC (Lockable Cover Resemblin2 Cap)*** The LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is the only' removable component of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel). The LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is in body, a component of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) and therefore is a significant and essential constituent.

"The locking mechanism in the body of the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) will not be detailed or described in this documentation, therefore, the workings, housing and components that make up the actual locking mechanisms' are not to be included as part of this "Drinking Vessel Patent Application".

Advantages The ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) will primarily act as a prevention aid, designed to deter perpetrators from carrying out predatory actions such as spiking, lacing, or poisoning another persons drinking vessel, which contains a consumable drink.

The numerous prevention aids encapsulated within the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) help protect the contained drink from substances such as narcotics, medicines, and other chemicals in the form of tablets, powders, and liquids, thus hindering poisoning attempts.

However, the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) will not prevent the use and insertion of contaminating vapours in the form of a mist, fume, smoke, or other similar air-like chemicals from entering the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel).

Pa2e 4 Component 1 - The Outer Cylinder In the body of the Outer Cylinder, Substance Outlets are present. When a contaminated liquid, powder, and/or tablet substance is poured into the top of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel), substance channels act as coordinating agents guiding the contaminated substances to the Substance Outlets, whereby the substance is dispersed out from the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) and onto the floor. The Substance Outlets are a means of exit for foreign objects and contaminated substances, vented through the body of the Outer Cylinder.

With the Outer Cylinder stood normally, vertically, in the upright position, at its base, the interior surface circumference has numerous LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) recess depressions. When the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is fitted to the base of the Outer Cylinder, the locking mechanism mounted in the body of the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) inserts itself into the recess depression, thus securing the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) in place.

Component 2- The Inner Cylinder A second cylinder, roller-shaped in body, but smaller in diameter than the Outer Cylinder, lessons in circumference at its top, forming a bottleneck' shaped, closed-off' congested area.

The Inner Cylinder is fitted/attached and encapsulated inside the Outer Cylinder. A narrow space separates the two cylinder walls forming a cavity hollow between the two cylinders. Cavity Spacing Pegs are present within the cavity, attaching the Inner Cylinder to the interior surface of the Outer Cylinder. The Cavity Spacing Pegs act as cavity spacers ensuring that an equally spaced cavity, or hollow exists, and remains secure.

With the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) stood normally, vertically, in the upright position, the Inner Cylinders' closed off' bottleneck' is at its top, and the base of the Inner Cylinder is open, and has no cap or any type of covering. With the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) removed, having the surface of the Outer Cylinder rim at the base of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel), in the same plane as an adjacent surface, for example, a table, allows the Outer Cylinder base to sit flush to the flat surface.

However, the base of the Inner Cylinder does not sit flush, or touch the flat surface because it is shorter in height than the Outer Cylinder. The difference in heights ultimately creates a channelled space at the base of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) and is a crucial element. With the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) secured to the base of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) the contained drink is able to fill the cavity hollow between both cylinders as a result of the channelled space element created by the differences in cylinder heights.

The purpose of the Inner Cylinder is to regulate the quantity' of liquid being poured out of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) at any one time. When a consumer tilts the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) to pour the contained drink into their mouth, the consumer will only be able to consume the liquid that is present in the cavity hollow of the two cylinders during each particular pour. To refill the cavity hollow, the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) has to be placed back onto a flat surface, or in the vertical position. This element prevents the consumer from downing' the contained drink, and encourages the consumer to drink at a steady, and safe rate.

Pane 5 Component 3- Flow Control Rin! The FCR (Flow Control Ring) is cylindrical band, which is seated directly below, and underneath the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield). The FCR (Flow Control Ring) is attached to the interior surface of the Outer Cylinder, and encompasses/surrounds the closed-off' bottleneck' of the Inner Cylinder. The space between the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Approach Slope and the interior surfaces of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) is called the Flow Regulating Chamber'. The interior circumference of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) is structured with a V- shaped indentation on its surfaces, forming a space between two meeting lines or planes, as measured in degrees.

When the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is tilted into the pouring position, the contained drink in the cavity between both Outer Cylinder and Inner Cylinders pours into the space created by the FCR (Flow Control Ring) and Inner Cylinders bottleneck (Flow Regulating Chamber). As the contained drink runs through and over the V-Shaped indentured surfaces of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) the flow is regulated in conjunction with the tilting of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) as it passes through the Flow Regulating Chamber.

The FCR (Flow Control Ring) brings the flow of the contained drink to an abrupt halt as the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is being tilted back into the vertical position after liquid consumption. This reduces the loss of any contained drink between the consumers' mouth and the FCR (Flow Control Ring).

Component 4- Canopy Protection Shield The CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) is positioned directly below the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) and spans a majority of recess area, in diameter of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring). When a contaminated liquid, powder, and/or tablet(s) are poured into the top of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) with a peak at its centre acts as a coordinating agent and directs the contaminated substances down into the Outer Cylinder, then channels the contaminated substances to the Substance Outlets. The Overhanging Roof-like Edge deters objects from entering the FCR (Flow Control Ring), Flow Regulating Chamber, and cylinder cavity area, thus preventing substances from poisoning the contained drink.

Preferably - The top exterior surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) will be manufactured in a black' coloured material. Because most powders and tablets are white, or light in colour, these substances will contrast well against the black surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield), thus, allowing the consumer to better identify the presence of a contaminated powder and/or broken down tablets on the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield).

Component 5- The Filter Protection Rin2 The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) discourages the use of contaminating tools, for example, a pipette, and will also suppress other foreign objects, for example, tablets. It is known that a perpetrator will use a pipette for spiking drinks with a contaminated liquid, for example, Rohypnol and Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) , *When GHB is mixed with alcohol the drink becomes very toxic and can kill*.

Pane 6 Note - For the purpose of this documentation, the term pipette' is referring to a tool likely to be used by a perpetrator intending to contaminate a drinking vessel with a liquid substance. The pipette is a transferring agent used to move a contaminated liquid substance from one location, to another, for example, from the contaminate storage bottle to a drinking vessel.

Preferably - The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) will be manufactured in a black' coloured material. Because most powders and tablets are white, or light in colour, these substances will contrast well against the black surface of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring), thus, allowing the consumer to better identify the presence of a contaminated powder or broken down tablets on the FPR (Filter Protection Ring).

If a consumer identifies a substance in and around the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) and/or the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield), the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) can be held under a running water tap. The water from the running tap would flow into the top of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel), through the FPR (Filter Protection Ring), off of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield), into the substance channel, and out through the Substance Outlets, consequently washing away the identified substance, without affecting the contained drink within the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel). This form of cleaning process can be carried out as many times as one wishes whilst the consumers drink contained within the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is never affected.

The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) suppresses foreign objects by means of an arrangement of equally spaced fins. Each fin is shaped into an Angel' so that tools, such as pipettes, have a bend to negotiate and manoeuvre around, which ultimately discourages the perpetrator. If a pipette with a flexible' nozzle is used by a perpetrator, two small lips', one above the other, running horizontally cross the bottom surface of the angled fin act as further deterrents.

With each fin spaced closely together, channels are created and a passage for liquid is present between each Angled' fin. The two small horizontal lips on each filter fin are positioned in such a place that they can hook the nozzle tip of the pipette, preventing the nozzle from passing through the small channel created by the filter fins. The filter fins do not stop the transferring of contaminated liquid from the pipette to the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel), they only prevent the nozzle of the pipette from passing beyond the filter fin channels, and into the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) chamber area below.

Joined to the top edge of the angled-fins are guidance-fins, which also form narrow passages for conveying a liquid in a given direction by means of channels.

Component 6- Lockable Cover Resemblin2 Cap The base of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is a removable cap. In the body of the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is a locking mechanism comprising of pins that seat themselves into elongated hollow recesses, grooved into the interior surface of the Outer Cylinder wall, at its base.

The LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is positioned at the base of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) to prevent perpetrators from tampering with the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) unnoticed, thus allowing the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) to pose as another deterrent to the perpetrator.

Page 7 The ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is filled up from its bottom. To do this, the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is placed upside-down on a flat surface, for example, the Bar, or table, with the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) removed. When pouring a drink, for example, a Coke, into the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel), the establishment staff will pour the consumable drink only into the Inner Cylinder'.

Once the drink has been poured, the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is fitted securely protecting the contained drink. Then the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is turned through 1800 and placed the right-way-up on the flat surface with the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) now at the ASDVs (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) base. In this position the contained drink will fill the cavity hollow between the Outer Cylinder and Inner Cylinder, and the drink can now be consumed from the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel).

Summary of Advantages:

1) The Substance Outlets in the body of the Outer Cylinder act as coordinating agents and disperses any contaminated substances out of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel).

2) The Inner Cylinder regulates the quantity' of liquid being poured out of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel), preventing the consumer from downing' the consumable drink, and allows establishment staff to fill the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) up from its bottom, thus deterring tampering and further contamination attempts.

3) The FCR (Flow Control Ring) regulates the flow of the contained drink in conjunction with the tilting of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) . The FCR (Flow Control Ring) cuts off the flow of the contained drink before the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is tilted back fully through the horizontal position when being placed back on to a flat surface.

4) The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) suppresses foreign objects and deters the use of contamination tools.

5) The CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) is an overhanging, roof-like, protection shield, which protects other ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) components seated beneath it, and acts as a coordinating agent to channel substances down into the Substance Outlet Channel. The CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) also deters foreign objects from entering the Flow Regulating Chamber, FCR (Flow Control Ring), and Cylinder Cavity area.

6) The LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is a lockable base cap that is used to secure and protect the contained drink. The cap also acts as a tampering prevention aid deterring potential predators.

Detailed Description:

To simplify the possible manufacturing of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) the invention as a product has been split up into 6 divisional components.

Preferably - each component will be made out of a strong, rigid, durable plastic material with exceptional wear and tear compounds.

Preferably - each of the six components will be manufactured through a process known as or similar to Thermoplastic Injection Moulding.

Component Number 1 - The Outer Cylinder The Outer Cylinder (1) rollershaped in body, has a Drinking Rim (la) at its top, has a number of FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Notch Recess Depressions (1 b) encompassing the interior surface circumference of the Outer Cylinder (1), just below the Drinking Rim (la).

The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Notch Recess Depressions (ib) allow for the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) to be seated securely in a fixed position.

A Convexo-Concave Protrusion (lh) in the body of the Outer Cylinder (1) is apparent and forms the exterior surface of the Substance Channel (7). The Substance Channel (7) is formed by the interior surface of the Convexo-Concave Protrusion (lh) in the body of the Outer Cylinder (1), being in the same plane as an adjacent surface, in this case the exterior surface of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) (3).

There are a number of horizontal Substance Outlets (ic) in the body of the Outer Cylinder (1) just below the Convexo-Concave Protrusion (lh) of the Outer Cylinder (1). This allows the dispersal of any contaminating substances out of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel).

Substance Channel Cavity Pegs (ii) ensure that the Substance Channel (7) cavity hollow is consistently spaced and secure.

Component Number 2- The Inner Cylinder A second cylinder (2), rollershaped in body, is fitted to the inside of the Outer Cylinder (1). The Inner Cylinder (2) is smaller in diameter than the Outer Cylinder (1) allowing it to fit inside the Outer Cylinder (1), and lessons in diameter at its top to form a Closed-off' Bottleneck Congested Area (2a).

Numerous Cavity Spacing Peg Notch Recess Depressions (2b) encompass the exterior surface of the Inner Cylinder (2) at two different levels. The protruding Cavity Spacing Peg Fringed Nipples (1!) on the flat exposed surface of the Cavity Spacing Pegs (le) cradle securely, in the exterior surface of the Inner Cylinder (2), attaching the Inner Cylinder (2) to the interior surface of the Outer Cylinder (1).

Pane 11 The consumer will only be able to drink the liquid that is present in the Cylinder Cavity Hollow (9), during the pouring of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel). Once the Cylinder Cavity Hollow (9) is empty the consumer will have to tilt the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) back into the vertical position to allow the contained drink in the Inner Cylinder (2) to again fill the Cylinder Cavity Hollow (9). This element prevents the consumer from downing' the contained drink all-in-one-go.

Component Number 3- Flow Control Ring (FCR (Flow Control Rin2)) The FCR(Flow Control Ring) (3) is a cylindrical band in body. The FCR (Flow Control Ring) (3) is attached to the interior surface of the Outer Cylinder (1) by means of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) Protruding Fringed Nipple (3g), inserting themselves into the FCR (Flow Control Ring) Notch Recess Depressions (id).

Having the exterior surface of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) (3a) in the same plane as an adjacent Convexo-Concave (lh) surface, in this case, the interior surface of the Outer Cylinder (1), forms a Substance Channel (7) cavity hollow. Contaminated substances can be washed down into the Substance Channel Cavity Hollow (7), which lead to the Substance Outlets (ic), whereby the contaminated substances are dispersed out of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel).

A V-Shaped Indentation (3d) forms the interior circumference of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) across two surfaces. When the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is tilted into the pouring position the contained drink starts its journey by leaving the Cylinder Cavity Hollow (9), up onto the FCR (Flow Control Ring) Liquid Approach Slope (31).

The FCR (Flow Control Ring) Liquid Approach Slope (31) begins to slow down the flow of the drink as it approaches the Flow Regulating Chamber (8). The liquid then hits a small Liquid Stop Buffer (3e), which further slows down the flow of the liquid as it enters the Flow Regulating Chamber (8). The liquid then falls into the base of the V-Shaped Indentation (3d) and as the liquid passes through the Flow Regulating Chamber (8) and over the two surfaces of the V- Shaped Indentation (3d) the FCR (Flow Control Ring) (3) begins to regulate the flow of the drink running through it.

Once the liquid has filled the V-Shaped Indentation (3d) of the FCR (Flow Control Ring) (3) it starts to pour out of the Flow Regulating Chamber (8) through the FCR (Flow Control Ring)/CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Drink Outlet Channel (4e). The liquid then hits the Sloping Guidance Blocks (3b) , which encourages and directs the contained drink into the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) channels, off of the Drinking Rim (la), and into the consumers' mouth.

Component Number 4- Canopy Protection Shield The CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4) sits on top of the Closed-off' Bottleneck' Congested Area (2a) of the Inner Cylinder (2). The CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4) is secured in place when the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Protruding Fringed Nipple (2c) on the top of the Closed-off' Bottleneck Congested Area (2a) inserts itself into the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Inner Cylinder Recess Depression (4g). The Roof-like Canopy Edges (4d) overhang the FCR (Flow Control Ring) Outlet Lip (3c) forming the Drink Outlet Channel (4e) between the underside exterior surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4) and the FCR (Flow Control Ring) (3).

Pate 12 The top exterior surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4) has a Peak (4a) at its centre forming a point. The Peak (4a) of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) encourages contaminated liquids to fall away from the Peak (4a) to the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Overhanging Edges (4d). From there the contaminated liquid falls into the Substance Channels (7) and out of the Substance Outlets (ic).

The top exterior surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4) also has Protruding Fringe Nipples (4b) to enable the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) to securely attach itself to the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4). The CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Protruding Fringe Nipples insert themselves into the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) /CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Recess Depressions (51), thus securing the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) to the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4).

Preferably - the top exterior surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) will be black' in colour. White, or light coloured powders and broken down tablets will contrast well against the black CPS (Canopy Protection Shield), thus encouraging the consumer in identifying contaminated substances. The contaminated substances can be washed away by holding the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) underneath a running water tap.

Component Number 5- Filter Protection Ring The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) is located at the top of the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) at its rim (la). The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) sits on top of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4) and is secured in place by numerous FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Protruding Fringed Nipples (4b) on the top exterior surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4), inserting themselves into the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) /CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) Recess Depressions (51), located on the underside of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Substance Buffer (5e).

When the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) is secured, the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) /FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Protruding Fringe Nipples (4b) on the underside of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) forms a narrow hollow space between the underside of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) and top exterior surface of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4). This narrow hollow space is the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) /FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Substance Channel (4c).

If a contaminated substance in the form of a powder, tablet, andlor liquid is sprinkled or poured onto the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4), you can pour running water onto the top of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) to remove the contaminated substances. The running water and contaminated substances would be washed off of the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) (4), down into the Substance Channels (7), and out though the Substance Outlets (ic).

The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) (5) is a cylindrical band of equally spaced Angled-Fins (5b).

Each pair of Angled-Fins (5b) creates a liquid channel. The Angled-Fins help deter and prevent a perpetrator from successfully penetrating the boundary of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring). The Angle-Fins make it difficult for the predator to manoeuvre and negotiate a contamination tool, for example, a pipette, from the topside of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) channels to the underside of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) channels.

Pace 13 Two small Horizontal Pipette Lips (5c) are positioned across the bottom surface of the Angled- Fin (5b), one above the other. The position of the two small Horizontal Pipette Lips (5c) act as another deterrent in the fight to discourage a perpetrator from contaminating the contained drink with a pipette, or other contamination tools.

If the perpetrator is using a pipette with a flexible nozzle, the flexible nozzle could manoeuvre round the bend created by the Angled-Fins (Sb), but, the flexible nozzle of the pipette would catch or hook itself onto the small Horizontal Pipette Lips (5c), again acting as an extra deterrent, and further discouraging the perpetrator.

The Substance Buffer (5e) primarily forms the roof-side protection plate to the CPS (Canopy Protection Shield) /FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Substance Channel (4c). The Substance Buffer (5e) is also in place to prevent substances from entering the Drink Outlet Channel (4e) and acts as an internal boundary wall for the Angled- Fins (5b), within the cylindrical ring.

Positioned on top of each angled fin is a FPR (Filter Protection Ring) Guidance-Fin (5a). The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) guidance fins are straight and run vertically up the interior face of the Outer Cylinder (1) , meeting at its top with the Outer Cylinder Drinking Rim (la). The FPR (Filter Protection Ring) guidance fins direct and channel the contained drink into the consumers' mouth.

Preferably - the FPR (Filter Protection Ring) will be black' in colour. Because most powders and tablets are white, or light in colour, these substances will contrast well against the black surface of the FPR (Filter Protection Ring), thus, allowing the consumer to better identify the presence of a contaminated powder or broken down tablets on the FPR (Filter Protection Ring).

Component Number 6- LCRC (Lockable Cover ResembJjn Cap) The LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) (6) acts as a secured cap protecting the contained drink within the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel). When a drink is poured into the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel), the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is positioned on a flat surface up side down, with the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) (6) removed. The Inner Cylinder (2) is filled with the consumable drink, and then the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) (6) is placed across the Outer Cylinders' (1) open bottom.

The Outer Cylinder Base Support (6a) acts as a guidance benchmark when the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is secured in place. The LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) is then twisted horizontally until the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) locking mechanism finds the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) Locking Mechanism Recess Depressions (ig). The ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is then turned the right- way-up through 1800 and the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is ready for use.

To remove the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) (6) the ASDV (Anti Spiking Drinking Vessel) is turned up-side-down through 180 and the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap) key is placed into the Key Opening Assembly Area (6c), which is used to unlock and remove the LCRC (Lockable Cover Resembling Cap).
