- According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the inner vessel has a flexible spring cover extending over an open top thereof, and adapted for abrupt conversion from a convex to a concave condition relative to the open top.
- According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the means for rupturing the bottom wall of the inner vessel includes a vertical plunger adapted for being actuated by the spring cover upon conversion from its convex to concave condition.
- Some of the objects of the invention have been set forth above. Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear as the description proceeds when taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of the bottle assembly according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded, perspective view of the bottle assembly; -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary view of the bottle assembly with the top shown in partial cross-section; -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary view of the bottle assembly with the top shown in partial cross-section, and prior to actuation of the spring cover and plunger; -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged, fragmentary view of the bottle assembly with the top shown in partial cross-section, and showing the bottom wall of the inner vessel ruptured after actuation of the spring cover and plunger; -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the innervessel illustrating the perforated bottom wall; and -
FIGS. 7, 8 , and 9 are sequential views demonstrating the process for removing the inner vessel from the outer vessel, and accessing the contents of the inner vessel. - Referring now specifically to the drawings, a bottle assembly according to the present invention is illustrated in
FIG. 1 , and shown generally atreference numeral 10. Thebottle assembly 10 is especially applicable for separately storing contents which are intended to be either mixed together immediately prior to use, or consumed by the user one after the other. The contents are provided in inner andouter vessels inner vessel 11 contains one to two ounces of liquor with theouter vessel 12 containing a non-alcoholic mixer. In a further application, theinner vessel 11 may contain a flavored powder or syrup concentrate adapted for mixing with water contained in theouter vessel 12. In yet another application, the inner vessel may 11 contain a pharmaceutical, such as aspirin, while theouter vessel 12 contains a beverage, such as water. Preferably, theouter vessel 12 resembles a conventional plastic beverage bottle having a relativelylarge body 14, a relatively narrow threadedneck 15, and anopen mouth 16 through which the beverage is poured. A removable, internally-threadedcap 18 mates with the threadedneck 15 to cover theopen mouth 16 of theouter vessel 12 prior to use. - As best shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , theinner vessel 11 is stored inside theouter vessel 12, and includes a slightlytapered body 21 and an outwardly-extendingannular flange 22. Thevessel flange 22 sits at themouth 16 of theouter vessel 12, as shown inFIG. 3 , and supports theinner vessel 11 in a suspended condition inside theouter vessel 12 in an area of theneck 15. A peel-away, normally convex,flexible spring cover 24 is located over the open top of theinner vessel 11, and has an integrally-formedperipheral flange 24A releasably sealed to thevessel flange 22 using, for example, a light contact adhesive. Thecover 24 preserves the contents of theinner vessel 11 prior to use, and preferably has apull tab 25 which is designed to be gripped by the user for easy removal. When assembled as shown inFIGS. 1 and 3 , thecover flange 24A is closely engaged by the threadedcap 18 which retains theinner vessel 11 and further seals the contents of theouter vessel 12 during shipping. - Referring to
FIGS. 3, 4 , 5, and 6, an elongated, rigid,vertical plunger 26 is attached to an underside of thespring cover 24. Theplunger 26 preferably depends vertically from a center point of thespring cover 24. Around foot 27 is formed at the free end of the plunger, and normally resides directly adjacent a perforatedpaper bottom 28 of theinner vessel 11, as indicated inFIGS. 3 and 4 . The user actuates theplunger 26 by depressing thespring cover 24 causing thespring cover 24 to convert abruptly from its normally convex condition, shown inFIG. 4 to a concave condition shown inFIG. 5 . This movement causes thefoot 27 of theplunger 26 to break through thepaper bottom 28 of theinner vessel 11. Preferably, thebottom wall 28 ruptures at pre-cut radial perforation lines 29 (FIG. 6 ) forming anopening 30 which allows either liquid or dry contents (e.g., powder or tablet) of theinner vessel 11 to conveniently mix with that of theouter vessel 12. After rupturing thebottom wall 28 of theinner vessel 11, thecap 18 may be reapplied to theouter vessel 12 and thebottle assembly 10 shaken to thoroughly mix the contents together. In this case, contents mixing is achieved without ever separating the inner 11 andouter vessels 12. Before drinking the mixed contents, the emptiedinner vessel 11 is removed and discarded. - In an alternative application of the
present bottle assembly 10, demonstrated inFIGS. 7, 8 , and 9, theinner vessel 11 may first be removed from theouter vessel 12 to access contents of theinner vessel 11. Theinner vessel 11 is removed by first unscrewing thecap 18 from the threadedneck 15. Theinner vessel 11 is then lifted from theouter vessel 12, and the contents of theinner vessel 11 accessed by peeling away thecover 24 using thepull tab 25. Once uncovered, the contents of theinner vessel 11 may be poured directly into theouter vessel 12 for mixing, or may be consumed by the user before or after drinking the contents of theouter vessel 12. - A bottle assembly is described above. Various details of the invention may be changed without departing from its scope. Furthermore, the foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention and best mode for practicing the invention are provided for the purpose of illustration only and not for the purpose of limitation-the invention being defined by the claims.
