Abstract
A water bottle includes a body having an open top, and two first snapping members are connected to two outsides of the body. A top part is mounted to the open top of the body with a first seal ring located between the top part and the open top. An outlet is defined in the top of the top part and communicates with the interior of the body. Two second snapping members extend from two outsides of the top part so as to be snapped with the first snapping members to securely connect the top part to the body. A cap is pivotably connected to the top part and covers the outlet. A second seal ring is located between the outlet and the cap. The interior of the body is easily cleaned when removing the top part from the body.
Description
- 1. Fields of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a water bottle, and more particularly, to a slim water bottle with individual top part and body so as to have different styles and colors.
- 2. Descriptions of the Prior Art
- The
conventional water bottle 10 is disclosed inFIGS. 1 and 2 , and comprises acylindrical body 11 and acover 12 which is connected to the open top of thebody 11. The cylindrical shaped water bottle is convenient for being carried and stored in abag 20. However, the cylindricalshaped water bottle 10 does not fit with thebag 20 and makes an obvious lump which may not be acceptable for aesthetic purposes. Besides, the cylindricalshaped water bottle 10 is not easily positioned upright and the liquid may leak from thewater bottle 10. - A slim water bottle is developed which has a slim body with an outlet defined in one side thereof, and a cap is used to seal the outlet. The user removes the cap to access the liquid in the water bottle.
- However, the slim water bottle sets the outlet on the top or the side, and the outlet is sized to limit the cleaning tool to access into the interior of the water bottle, so that how to properly clean the interior of the slim water bottle becomes a concern. The small sized outlet also prolongs the time required to let the inside of the water bottle dry. Moisture in the water bottle provides a condition for germs to reproduce. The present invention intends to provide a slim water bottle to improve the shortcomings mentioned above.
- The present invention relates to a water bottle and comprises a body having an open top. Two first snapping members are connected to two outsides of the body. A top part has a mounting portion defined in the underside thereof so as to be mounted to the open top of the body. A first seal ring is located between the periphery of the mounting portion and the periphery of the open top. An outlet is defined in the top of the top part and communicates with the mounting portion. Two second snapping members extend from two outsides of the mounting portion. The first snapping members are snapped with the second snapping members. A cap is removably connected to the top part and covers the outlet. A second seal ring is located between the outlet and the cap.
- Preferably, the top part has a groove defined along the periphery of the mounting portion. The first seal ring is received in the groove. The cap has an insertion which is snugly inserted into the outlet, and the second seal ring is mounted to the outside of the insertion.
- Preferably, the first snapping members each have a slot defined therethrough. The second snapping members each are a plate which is engaged with the slot corresponding thereto.
- Preferably, the top part has a recessed area in which the cap is received. Each of two sidewalls of the recessed area has a hole defined therethrough. The cap has two pivots respectively extending from two sides thereof. The two pivots are pivotably engaged with the two holes in the two sidewalls of the recessed area. Each of the two sidewalls of the recessed area has a recess defined in the inside thereof. The cap has two protrusions respectively protruding from the two sides thereof. The two protrusions are engaged with the two recesses.
- Preferably, the cap has a lift portion extending from the distal end thereof. The lift portion contacts the outside of the top part. The primary object of the present invention is to provide a slim water bottle that is easily cleaned.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a slim water bottle which has a removable top part so that the top part and the body may have different colors. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a slim water bottle which does not create a lump when the slim water bottle is received in a bag.
- The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

FIG. 12 is a cross sectional view to show that the cap is positioned at the unlocked position. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 to 8 , theslim water bottle 30 of the present invention comprises abody 31 having anopen top 311. Twofirst snapping members 312 are connected to two outsides of thebody 31. Thebody 31 can be made by metal or plastic, and thefirst snapping members 312 each have aslot 323 defined therethrough. - A
top part 32 has amounting portion 321 defined in the underside thereof. Thetop part 32 is mounted to theopen top 311 of thebody 31 by themounting portion 321. Afirst seal ring 341 is located between the periphery of themounting portion 321 and the periphery of theopen top 311. Specifically, as shown inFIG. 5 , thetop part 32 has agroove 325 defined along the periphery of themounting portion 321, and thefirst seal ring 341 is received in thegroove 325. Anoutlet 324 is defined in the top of thetop part 32 and communicates with themounting portion 321 and the interior of thebody 31. Two second snappingmembers 322 extend from two outsides of the mountingportion 321. Thefirst snapping members 312 are snapped with thesecond snapping members 322. Specifically, thesecond snapping members 322 each are a plate which is engaged with theslot 323 corresponding thereto as shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 . - As shown in
FIGS. 6 and 11 , acap 33 is removably and pivotably connected to thetop part 32 and covers theoutlet 324. Asecond seal ring 342 is located between theoutlet 324 and thecap 33. Specifically, thecap 33 has atubular insertion 331 which is snugly inserted into theoutlet 324, and thesecond seal ring 342 is mounted to the outside of theinsertion 331. Thecap 33 and thetop part 32 can be made by metal or plastic. Thetop part 32 has a recessedarea 326 in which thecap 33 is received. Each of two sidewalls of the recessedarea 326 has ahole 327 defined therethrough. Thecap 33 has twopivots 332 respectively extending from two sides thereof. The twopivots 332 are pivotably engaged with the twoholes 327 in the two sidewalls of the recessedarea 326. Each of the two sidewalls of the recessedarea 326 has arecess 328 defined in the inside thereof. Thecap 33 has twoprotrusions 333 respectively protruding from the two sides thereof, and the twoprotrusions 333 are engaged with the tworecesses 328. Thecap 33 has alift portion 334 extending from the distal end thereof, thelift portion 334 contacts the outside of thetop part 32 when thecap 33 is positioned at the locked position. - When in use, as shown in
FIG. 12 , the user lifts thelift portion 334 by a finger, thecap 33 is pivoted upward about the twopivots 332 so that theinsertion 331 is removed from theoutlet 324, so that the user can get the liquid in thebody 31 from theoutlet 324. When thecap 33 is pivoted downward again, thecap 33 is pivoted about thepivots 332 and the twoprotrusions 333 are engaged with therecesses 328 to well position thecap 33 relative to theoutlet 324. - The
