Description
- This invention relates generally to storage containers and, more particularly, to a bottle lid attachable to the open top of a bottle and having multiple storage compartments and configurations for storing different materials.
- It is typical for a person to carry multiple food items along with a drink to locations where a snack or lunch will be desired at a later time. For example, a worker or a student may take a bottle of water, snack crackers, vegetables, and even a dip to work or school, respectively, to be enjoyed at an appropriate time. Each of these items is typically stored in a separate container and the containers are carried in a sack, lunch box, or other container.
- Further, it is desirable to store different but related items in close relationship to each other. More particularly, it may be desired to store nuts, bolts, screws, and the like in close proximity but in organized and separate containers. It is further desirable that these containers be easily transportable.
- Various devices have been proposed in the art for storing an item in the cap of a bottle so that the materials may either be combined or used together at a later time. Although assumably effective for their intended purposes, the existing devices do not provide both an intermediate lid with compartment, a secondary bottle, or the capability to combine additional intermediate lids as needed.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to have a bottle lid that is removably attachable to a traditional bottle that includes a cavity for containing a selected material, such as a food item. Further, it would be desirable to have a bottle lid having a secondary bottle for holding another material, such as a liquid. In addition, it would be desirable to have a bottle in which multiple intermediate lids may be coupled and then attached to the traditional bottle for carrying and transporting multiple items.
- A bottle lid for use with a bottle having an opening according to the present invention includes an intermediate lid having a configuration complementary to a configuration of the bottle for selectively coupling the intermediate lid to the bottle. The intermediate lid includes a barrier presenting upper and lower faces, the barrier enclosing the bottle opening when the intermediate lid is coupled to the bottle. The bottle lid further includes a secondary bottle having upper and lower ends and defining a cavity therebetween. The secondary bottle upper end is open to the cavity and includes a configuration complementary to a configuration of the barrier lower face for selectively coupling the secondary bottle upper end to the barrier lower face. In addition, the bottle lid includes a top lid having a configuration complementary to a configuration of the intermediate lid for selectively coupling the top lid to the intermediate lid. The top lid and the intermediate lid collectively define a sealed compartment when the top lid is coupled to the intermediate lid.
- The bottle lid may include multiple intermediate lids that may be removably coupled together. In this embodiment, multiple cavities are formed between the coupled intermediate lids. The secondary bottle may still be coupled to the lowermost intermediate lid and extend down into the mouth of the traditional bottle. The top lid may cover the uppermost intermediate lid.
- Therefore, a general object of this invention is to provide a bottle lid for storing and carrying selected items in relation to an open top bottle.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a bottle lid, as aforesaid, having an intermediate lid and top cap attachable to the bottle that defines a cavity for storing items.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a bottle lid, as aforesaid, having a secondary bottle attachable to an underside of the intermediate cap for storing a liquid or other item.
- Yet another object of this invention is to provide a bottle lid, as aforesaid, in which the secondary bottle extends into the cavity of the traditional bottle when the intermediate lid is coupled to the bottle.
- A further object of this invention is to provide a bottle lid, as aforesaid, in which the intermediate lid has a modular construction such that multiple intermediate lids may be coupled together so as to increase the number of different items that may be stored or carried.

FIG. 11 is an isolated view on an enlarged scale taken fromFIG. 10 c. - A
bottle lid 100 according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference toFIGS. 1 through 11 of the accompanying drawings. More particularly, according to the current invention, abottle lid 100 for use with abottle 10 having an opening 12 (i.e., an open end) includes at least oneintermediate lid 110, atop lid 120, and asecondary bottle 130. “Bottle” as used herein refers to any appropriate container, such as a bottle, ajar, etc., regardless of the container's specific shape or composition. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 through 3 c andFIG. 6 , theintermediate lid 110 has aconfiguration 112 complementary to aconfiguration 14 of thebottle 10 to selectively couple theintermediate lid 110 to thebottle 10. Theconfiguration 112 may include threads, clamps, or any other appropriate fastener. The accompanying figures show the bottle opening 12 having external threads 14 a and theconfiguration 112 of theintermediate lid 110 including complementaryinternal threads 112 a, though other arrangements are also appropriate. Theintermediate lid 110 has abarrier 113 with upper andlower faces 113 a, 113 b that encloses the bottle opening 12 when theintermediate lid 110 is coupled to thebottle 10, as shown inFIG. 6 . The barrierupper face 113 a may be generally planar or may be shaped as desired for particular applications. - The
intermediate lid 110 may further include a configuration 114 (FIG. 3 c) complementary to a configuration 122 (FIG. 4 c) of thetop lid 120 to selectively couple theintermediate lid 110 to the top lid 120 (FIG. 6 ). Theconfiguration 114 may include threads, clamps, or any other appropriate fastener. For example, theconfiguration 114 of theintermediate lid 110 may include external threads 114 a (FIGS. 3 b and 3 c) and theconfiguration 122 of thetop lid 120 may include complementary internal threads 122 a (FIG. 4 c). As shown inFIG. 6 , the external threads 114 a of theintermediate lid 110 may be configured to approximate the external threads 14 a of thebottle 10. When thetop lid 120 is coupled to theintermediate lid 110, thetop lid 120 and theintermediate lid 110 collectively define a sealed compartment 125 that may or may not be airtight, depending on the intended use of thebottle lid 100. As shown inFIG. 1 , both theintermediate lid 110 and thetop lid 120 may be cylindrical, such as to match a diameter of thebottle 10. It should be understood that other shapes are also appropriate, however. - The
secondary bottle 130 has upper and lower ends 132 a, 132 b (FIG. 2 ) and defines a cavity 134 (FIGS. 2 and 6 ) between the upper and lower ends 132 a, 132 b. The upper end 132 a is open to the cavity 134 (FIG. 2 ) and has a configuration 136 (also referred to herein as a “coupling element”) complementary to a configuration 116 (also referred to herein as a “coupling element”) of the barrier lower face 113 b to selectively couple the upper end 132 a of thesecondary bottle 130 to the intermediate lid 110 (i.e., to the barrierlower face 1 13 b). Thesecondary bottle cavity 134 may be airtight when the secondary bottle upper end 132 a is coupled to the barrier lower face 113 b, depending on the intended use of thebottle lid 100 and specifically the intended use of thecavity 134. Theconfiguration 136 of the secondary bottle upper end 132 a may include threads, clamps, or any other appropriate fastener. For example, as shown inFIG. 6 , theconfiguration 136 of the of the secondary bottle upper end 132 a may includeexternal threads 136 a and theconfiguration 116 of the barrier lower face 113 b may include complementary internal threads 116 a.

FIGS. 7 a through 11 show that a plurality of theintermediate lids 110 may be included. Eachintermediate lid 110 may have a configuration that approximates a configuration of each otherintermediate lid 110, or at least oneintermediate lid 110 may have a configuration that is different than a configuration of at least one otherintermediate lid 110. In other words, all of theintermediate lids 110 may be copies of one another (FIGS. 7 a through 8), or one or more of theintermediate lids 110 may be different from the rest (FIGS. 9 through 11 ). If theexternal threads 1 14 a of theintermediate lid 110 are configured to approximate the external threads 14 a of thebottle 10 as noted above, for example, theintermediate lids 110 may be coupled to each other in addition to thebottle 10, as shown inFIGS. 8 and 9 . Every twointermediate lids 110 coupled together may collectively define a sealed compartment 119 (FIGS. 8 and 10 c) betweenrespective barriers 113, and the sealedcompartments 119 may or may not be airtight, depending on the intended use of thebottle lid 100 and specifically thecompartments 119. - In use, material may be placed in the
bottle 10. The material in thebottle 10 may be a liquid (e.g., food, drink, etc.) or a solid (e.g., food, hardware, etc.). Thebottle 10 may or may not be sized and constructed specifically for the material to be carried. A different material may be placed in thesecondary bottle cavity 134, and thesecondary bottle 130 may be attached to anintermediate lid 110 as described in detail above. The material in thesecondary bottle cavity 134 could be, for example, mouthwash, cream, sugar, medicine, candy, mints, or different hardware. Theintermediate lid 110 coupled to thesecondary bottle 130 may be coupled to the bottle 10 (FIG. 6 ) and/or other intermediate lid(s) 110 (FIGS. 8 and 10 c). If theintermediate lid 110 coupled to thesecondary bottle 130 is coupled to thebottle 10, thesecondary bottle 130 may extend into the bottle 10 (FIGS. 6 and 8 ); if anotherintermediate lid 110 separates thebottle 10 and theintermediate lid 110 coupled to thesecondary bottle 130, thesecondary bottle 130 may extend into the other intermediate lid 110 (FIG. 10 c). If multipleintermediate lids 110 are coupled together, still different material may be contained in the compartment(s) 119. Material may also be contained in the compartment 125 defined by thetop lid 120 and a respectiveintermediate lid 110. It should be appreciated that all examples set forth herein are exemplary only and that appropriate materials in particular are seemingly endless. - It is understood that while certain forms of this invention have been illustrated and described, it is not limited thereto except insofar as such limitations are included in the following claims and allowable functional equivalents thereof.
