BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a bottle, and more particularly to a bottle with a bottle lid which is provided with a drinking opening and an opening cap for detachably sealing the drinking opening.
Description of Related Arts
Bottles, such as water bottles, beverages bottles and so on, are common articles for daily use. The bottle may not provide with any lid or can be covered with a lid. The bottles used outdoor are often provided with lids for ease of using and carrying.
In order to facilitate the use of the user, many bottles not only are provided with outlets in their bottle bodies, but also are provided with additional drinking openings in their bottle lids so as to facilitate the users to drink beverages such as water, tea, and etc. inside the bottles without removing the bottle lids. However, the design of the drinking openings provided on the bottle lids of the conventional bottles are not easy for the user to use, wherein the water or tea is often leaked or sprayed from the drinking openings provided on the bottle lids during users' drinking. Secondly, the opening cap for closing the drinking opening is relatively small that, when the user removes the opening cap from the bottle lid, he or she often forgets to recover the opening cap on the bottle lid and, as a result, the opening cap is easy to be lost. In particular, when the user carries the bottle outdoors, the lost opening cap is hard to be retrieved and the entire bottle is discarded and unusable. Furthermore, in order to facilitate carrying, a lot of bottles, especially for outdoor bottles, have bottle tapes or belts, so that the user hangs the bottles on the hands, arms or the handle of the bike. However, when the bottle is carried outdoors, these tapes are easily soiled and are hard to clean after being polluted. In addition, the tapes or belts are generally provided on the bottle body as destroy the appearance of the whole bottle as a result. Finally, many outdoor amateurs prefer to carry beverages such as tea, white chrysanthemum, lemon slices, coffee and/or effervescent tablets. These beverages or tea have to take up the backpack space, and when users require using them, they have to find them out from the packsacks or storage boxes. In addition, people with special illnesses often need to carry relevant medicines to deal with emergencies. For example, cardiac patients need to carry first-aid medicines and to take them to relieve or treat symptoms when an emergency occurs in a heart attack. Allergy sufferers need to carry first-aid medicines to take medicines and relieve allergic symptoms when accidentally exposed to allergens. The use of these medicines needs more drinking water. However, the vast majority of emergency medicines of such patients are not put together with the bottles filled with water. Sometimes, the waste time of looking for medicines even leads to missing the best first-aid time of the patients.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The invention is advantageous in that it provides a bottle, wherein a bottle lid of the bottle has a drinking opening which facilitates the user to drink the beverage therein. Preferably, the bottle lid of the bottle has an opening portion, wherein the opening portion has the drinking opening provided therein.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle, wherein the bottle lid of the bottle further comprises an opening cap for covering the drinking opening of the bottle lid, and that no matter the opening cap is covered on the drinking opening or is removed from drinking opening, the opening cap is fixed to the lid body to prevent from being lost.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle, which further comprises an agitating element adapted to be placed in the bottle for well homogenizing the beverage such as coffee and protein powder added to the bottle. Thus, the agitating element is functioned as a stirring rod or a mixing spoon so that the bottle no longer needs to provide a special stirring rod or a stirring spoon to homogenize the beverage. Preferably, the agitating element is in the form of particles or spheres. More preferably, the surface of the agitating element is provided with ribs or protrusions to well homogenize the beverage added to the bottle.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle, which further comprises a mesh filter adapted to be provided in the bottle so as to well stir the beverage such as coffee, protein powder and so on added to the bottle.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle, wherein the opening cap of the bottle lid of the bottle for covering the drinking opening of the bottle lid is pivotally provided on the bottle lid, so that the opening cap of the bottle lid has a closed state and an open state.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle, which further comprises a handle defined as a suspension member, wherein the handle is provided on the bottle lid, so that the user can handle the bottle in the hand suspend on an upholder. Preferably, an upper surface of the lid body of the bottle lid has a receiving groove receiving the handle therein, so that the handle is capable of being accommodated and hidden within the receiving groove, thereby preventing the overall appearance of the bottle lid from being affected by the handle. Preferably, the receiving groove is extended from one receiving side to a pivotal end of the handle, so that it is easier for the user to clean the bottle lid especially the receiving groove of the bottle lid. More preferably, the handle is “![custom-character]()
” shaped.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle, wherein the bottle further comprises a receiving unit extended downward from the bottle body, wherein the receiving unit has a receiving chamber formed therein for receiving beverages such as tea leaves, white chrysanthemums, lemon slices, coffee and/or effervescent tablets and so on inside. It is understandable that the receiving chamber is capable of receiving articles such as first-aid medicines. Preferably, the receiving unit has a foldable structure, so that when there is no articles received in the receiving chamber or the article having small volume is received in the receiving chamber, the receiving unit is folded and arranged in the bottle body, thereby minimizing the occupancy space of the receiving unit and the bottle.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle lid, wherein the bottle lid of the bottle further comprises a pair of pivoting members, wherein the pivot member is pivotally disposed on the lid body of the bottle lid and the opening cap is fixed to the pivoting member, so that the opening cap is pivotally provided on the lid body of the bottle lid. Preferably, each of the pivoting members is coaxially and pivotally disposed at the lid body of the bottle lid with the handle. More preferably, when the opening cap is covered on the drinking opening of the bottle lid, each of the pivot members is attached to the periphery of the bottle lid or is coupled to the bottle lid to maintain the overall appearance of the bottle lid of the bottle.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle lid, wherein the bottle lid has a drinking opening which facilitates the user to drink the beverage therein. Preferably, the bottle lid has an opening portion, wherein the opening portion forms the drinking opening of the bottle lid.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle lid, wherein the bottle lid further comprises an opening cap for covering the drinking opening of the bottle lid, and no matter the opening cap is covered on the drinking opening or is removed from drinking opening, the opening cap is fixed to the lid body to prevent from being lost.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle lid, wherein the opening cap of the bottle lid for covering the drinking opening of the bottle lid is pivotally provided on the lid body of the bottle lid, so that the opening cap of the bottle lid has a closed state and an open state.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a bottle lid, wherein the bottle lid does not require precision components and complex structures, and is simple to manufacture and has a low manufacturing cost.
