Abstract

Multi-chamber bottle for drinks, especially for aerated drinks, consisting with substantially cylindrical casing with the narrowing neck and the cap closing access to this bottle, and the bottle (1) is divided inside by vertical partitions (13) for at least two chambers, and each of this chamber has the independent inlet/outlet opening and the base (3), simultaneously between the neck of the bottle and the cap there is the distributor cap (7) closing the inlet/outlet openings of the chambers, and each inlet/outlet opening of the distributor cap (7) under the cap is closed by the independent closings belonging to each chamber separately.

Description

Multi-chamber bottle
The subject of the invention is the multi-chamber bottle for drinks, especially aerated drinks.
The hitherto known bottles assigned for aerated drinks consist of capacitive part for drink and narrowing neck closed by the screw cap.
The existing bottles are characterised by the fact that they have their content in one, limited by construction, volume, and differ only in volumes included in various shapes.
Disadvantage of big packaging, specially for aerated drinks, lay in the fact, that opening even once cause loss of gas which aerated drink and such drink loss its taste values.
This invention allow to eliminate such disadvantage by opening only part of the bottle, leaving in closed chambers drink in the original condition.
Multi-chamber bottle, especially for aerated drinks, consisting of substantially cylindrical casing with the narrowing neck and screw cap closing access to this bottle, according to the invention is characterised by that, that the bottle is divided internally by partitions on at least two chambers, and each of these chambers has the independent inlet/outlet opening and the base, simultaneously between the neck of the bottle and the cap there is distributor cap which close inlet/outlet openings for chambers, whereas each inlet/outlet opening of the distributor cap is closed by independent closing assigned separately for each chamber. The bottle has advantageous three chambers.
Distributor cap on the bottle neck may create the integral part of the bottle, connected with it at the neck. Alternatively the distributor cap constitutes the separate part screw on the neck of the bottle under the cap. The distributor cap has three independent for each chamber closing. In case of three-chamber bottle closings are centric. The distributor cap has, on its surface, limited by sealing edges, fields corresponding to inlet/outlet openings of the bottle, and in this fields there are furrows weakening the strength of material for easier tearing, and tongues, which are pushed to get access to the chamber. Under the cap, each inlet/outlet opening of each chamber is closed by independent closings located on the distributor cap, assigned to each of the chamber. The neck of the bottle has the externally located threaded furrows. There is the distributor cap on the neck of the bottle, with internal and external threaded furrows.
The example of the bottle is presented on the enclosed drawing, on which fig. 1 - presents the bottle on side view, fig. 2 - cross-section A-A of the bottle with three chambers, fig. 3 - presents the bottle in view from the top, fig. 4 - distributor cap in view from side, fig. 5 - distributor cap in view from above, fig. 6 - presents cross-section B-B of distributor cap.
As was shown on figure 1, the bottle I according to the invention has the substantially cylindrical shape finished from top by the cylindrical neck 2, which diameter is lower than diameter of the bottle, and on the bottom has the base 3. On the external surface of the neck of the bottle there is located from underneath the ring collar 4, above which there is the second collar 5 and between them there is place 6 for locking ring, securing against unscrewing of the distributor cap. Above the both rings there is the row of the slant threaded furrows around the neck of the bottle. At the upper edge of the neck there is screwed distributor cap 7 which has for each chamber the independent closings situated inside centric located openings zones 8.
Fig. 2 presents cross-section of three-chamber bottle with partitions 13. which divide the bottle into three parts. Fig. 3 presents the bottle in view from above.
The bottle I can be made as the integral with the distributor cap (7).
But advantageously the bottle has the screw in distributor cap 7. In such case the bottle itself may be returned against security and at the next filling closed by the screw in cap 7.
Figures 4, 5 and 6 present the distributor cap 7 in view from side, in view from above and in cross-section. The upper surface of cap 7 has the outlined by the protruding edge 10 inlet/outlet entry for each chamber. The surface of the cap within sealing edge 10 has the furrow
11 in the field of the cap encircled by the edge of the weakened mechanical strength, which facilitates tearing of material which close access to the chamber. This furrow may be circular or parallel to situated inside the sealing edge JO tongue 9, which - when pressed - tears the weakened by the furrow part of the cap included inside edge, opening access to content of the chamber in the bottle.
The inlet/outlet parts in distributor cap 7 are shaped in such a way, that opening is achieved by pushing the tongue 9 toward the inside of the bottle.
This pushing causes tearing of the weakened by the furrow part inside the edge JO of the distributor cap 7. The edge JO protrude above the upper surface of the distributor cap.
The bottle is closed by the cap. The cap which closes the bottle located on the distributor cap 7 on the bottle rests on the edge JO of the distributor cap sealing in this way the open chamber.
The distributor cap is secured against accidental opening by locking ring 12.
The bottle according to the invention may be easily produced from thermoplastic plastics, e.g. polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate, or other thermoplastic material admitted for contact with food, by inject method or by blow-out method or by both these methods jointly.
In many cases the bottle according to the invention is more functional than traditional bottles and its usage is more convenient as after removal of the cap each chamber is tightly closed. After opening of one of the chamber of the bottle in order to use its content, other chambers remain closed, maintaining freshness of drink. In case of aerated drinks enclosed in other closed chambers liquid does not lose its gas content maintaining the original, given by the producer, freshness.
