Claims
- 1. A bottle for storing a liquid, comprising:
a container adapted to be pressurized, the container having:
a bladder adapted to contain the liquid; and a pressure port for pressurizing the container such that the bladder is compressed; and a dispensing port of the container.
- 2. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 1, wherein the container is one of cylindrical, contoured and stylized in shape.
- 3. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 1, including a charging port for providing the liquid to the bladder.
- 4. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 1, including a pump selectably insertable into the pressure port for pressurizing the container.
- 5. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 5, wherein the pump is adapted to provide ambient air to the container for pressurizing the container.
- 6. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 1, including a relief valve for depressurizing the container.
- 7. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 1, including a siphon having a distal end adapted to be inserted into the bladder such that a proximal end of the siphon extends outside the container, which siphon providing a conduit for the liquid.
- 8. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 7, wherein the siphon includes a valve adapted to regulate a flow of liquid through the siphon.
- 9. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 8, wherein the distal end of the siphon is beveled.
- 10. A bottle for storing a liquid, comprising:
a container adapted to be pressurized; a bladder connected with the container and adapted for containing the liquid; a pressure port for pressurizing the container such that the bladder is compressed; and a dispensing port for dispensing the liquid.
- 11. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 10, including a sealable charging port for providing the liquid to the bladder.
- 12. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 10, including a pump selectably insertable into the pressure port for pressurizing the container.
- 13. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 10, including a pump connected with the pressure port for pressurizing the container, wherein the pump is adapted to be manually operated to provide ambient air to the container.
- 14. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 10, including a siphon having a distal end adapted to be inserted into the bladder such that a proximal end of the siphon extends outside the dispensing port, which siphon providing a conduit for the liquid.
- 15. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 14, wherein the siphon includes a valve adapted to regulate a flow of liquid through the siphon.
- 16. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 15, wherein the distal end of the siphon is beveled.
- 17. The bottle for storing a liquid of claim 10, including a relief valve for depressurizing the container.
- 18. A method for storing a liquid in a bottle having a container connected with a bladder for containing the liquid, the container having a pressure port for pressurizing the container such that the bladder is compressed, comprising:
connecting a pump with the pressure port; pressurizing the container with the pump such that excess air is forced out of the bladder; sealing the bottle such that no excess air enters the bladder; and disconnecting the pump from the pressure port.
- 19. The method for storing a liquid of claim 17, further comprising:
depressurizing the container using a relief valve connected with the container; unsealing the bottle; filling the bladder with a liquid through a charge port; and resealing the bottle.
- 20. The method for storing a liquid of claim 17, further comprising:
inserting a distal end of a siphon into the bladder such that the proximal end of the siphon extends outside the bladder, wherein the siphon includes a valve preventing excess air from entering the bladder once the bottle is sealed.
