Therefore, the details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limited, but merely as the basis for the claims and as a basis for teaching one skilled in the art how to make and/or use the invention.
-
FIG. 1 shows a combination bottle top beverage dispenser and hardcandy sucker device 10 in accordance with the present invention. Thedevice 10 is secured and/or screwed onto a conventional threadedtop 12 of abeverage bottle 14. The bottle containsconsumable liquid 16. As best shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 , the combination bottle top beverage dispenser and hardcandy sucker device 10 of the present invention includes abase 20, a dispensingtube 22, ahard candy sucker 30 and acover 40. - Referring to the drawings, the
base 20 includes an upwardly extendingdispensing tube 22 and downwardly extendingannular sleeve 25. Thebase 20 is dimensioned to screw onto conventional threaded beverage bottles via thesleeve 25 havinginternal threads 21 which mate withexternal threads 12 on thebottle 14. Theupper surface 33 of thebase 20 provides a raisedpedestal 23 for supporting the ediblehard candy material 30. Located uponpedestal 23 are a series of either projections orrecesses 24 which provide a means for preventing thecandy 30 from rotating once thecandy 30 is molded onto thebase 20. A series ofribs 26 are located on the outer surface of thedispensing tube 22. Theribs 26 not only function to preventcandy 30 from pulling off ofbase 20, but also serve to prevent beverage and saliva from traveling down the outer surface of dispensingtube 22 and eroding thecandy 30 away from inside out. Theribs 26 aid in preventing thecandy 30 from loosening and separating from the dispensingtube 22 before usage is completed. Should space between the dispensingtube 22 and thecandy 30 begin to erode from the top down to theupper surface 33, the series ofribs 26 allow the user to continue to simultaneously suck on thecandy 30 and sip theliquid beverage 16 without sucking air through the eroded space. This is because the nextlower rib 26 will still be intact with thecandy 30 despite the fact that erosion may cause separation between the candy and the upper rib. As can be seen, thetop rib 26 a is even or protrudes slightly from thehard candy 30 and therib 26 b is spaced therebelow. - It will be appreciated that the
base 20, dispensingtube 22 andsleeve 25 may be integrally formed as a single molded piece from various plastics, such as polypropylene. Thehard candy 30 is formed over the portion of the dispensingtube 22 which extends beyond theupper surface 33 of the base 20 using conventional candy making/molding techniques so that it lies on or above theupper surface 33 of thebase 20. The dispensingtube 22 includes a verysmall diameter channel 28 to allow/restrict the flow of fluid transmission therethrough. Thesmall diameter channel 28 functions to control the rate at which fluid flows out of thebottle 14. That is the larger the diameter the less restricted the flow will be. The diameter ranges between approximately 1-3 mm. This forces the user to suck the fluid 16 out of thebottle 14, instead of allowing the fluid to simply pour out when the bottle is tilted upward for drinking. Thechannel 28 includes anenlarged opening 29 at its upper end which accepts aplug 42 extending down from the top of thecover 40. Theplug 42 becomes recessed in thechannel opening 29 to seal the opening shut and prevent fluid flow when thecover 40 is attached to thebase 20, as shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 . The opposite end of thechannel 28 includes a tapered or funnel shapedopening 27 to enhance the fluid flow into the dispensingtube 22. - The
cover 40 is made from a transparent plastic permitting thecandy 30 to be viewed. As discussed above, thecovet 40 includes aninternal plug 42 on its top side which seals thechannel 28. Thecover 40 further includes a means for attachment to thebase 20 by screwing or twisting on. The attachment as shown is a threaded attachment system wherein thecover 40 includesfemale threads 44 and thebase 20 includesmale threads 45. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that any form of attachment, such as, a friction fit or a ribbed friction fit would function just as well. - As best seen in
FIG. 6 , thecover 40 is spaced from thecandy 30 when attached tobase 20. Thespace 48 prevents thecandy 30 from becoming attached to thecover 40 during the storage and consumption process when stored thereon during the consumption process. Thespace 48 is created because thecandy 30, when molded onto thebase 20, does not cover the entireupper surface 33 and is smaller than the dimensions of the cover. The candy is molded onto a slightly raisedpedestal 23 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of theupper surface 33. Thus, the candy extends radially to cover thepedestal 23, but exposes the ends ofprotrusions 24, while leaving only an annular ring ofupper surface 33 radially extending beyond the pedestal and candy mounted thereon. The annular ring is located between the outer surface ofthreads 45 ofbase 20 and theouter edge 31 ofcandy 30. As can also be seen inFIG. 6 theouter diameter 49 ofcover 40 is substantially coextensive with theouter diameter 52 of thesleeve 25. - The present invention allows a consumer to simultaneously enjoy and taste the flavors of an edible candy and a liquid beverage. As the candy dissolves, it mixes with the liquid beverage in the mouth. The mixture forms a new combined flavor that enhances both the flavor of the candy and beverage.
- It will be appreciated that the candy component of the device may also be made of other candy such as milk chocolate and consumed in combination with a liquid dairy milk beverage. There is no limit as to the candy and beverage flavors which may be combined. The combination bottle top beverage dispenser and candy sucker is intended to be sold as a separate unit which may be attached to any type of commercially available beverage bottle with a screw on cap.
- It will be further appreciated that the dispensing tube and candy may take many different shapes, sizes, colors or flavors. While various preferred embodiments have been shown and described, it will be understood that there is no intent to limit the invention by such disclosure, but rather, is intended to cover all modifications and alternate constructions falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as to find in the appended claims.
