It is also to be understood that the terminology used in the description is for the purpose of describing the particular versions or embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
In one non-limiting embodiment, a multi-functional bottle is provided. The multi-functional bottle comprising a bottle cap, a body below the bottle cap and connected with the bottle cap, a compartment, a first holding means or handle for holding the multi-functional bottle. The bottle cap is integrated with a compass, the body is made of an insulating material, the first holding means comprises, a hollow space, wherein the hollow space is configured to hold a fork and a knife and the compartment is configured to store one or more items.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description below, in light of the accompanying drawings.
As used in the specification, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” may also include plural references. For example, the term “an article” may include a plurality of articles. Those with ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the elements in the figures are illustrated for simplicity and clarity and are not necessarily drawn to scale. There may be additional components or processes described in the foregoing application that are not depicted on the described drawings. In the event such a component or process is described, but not depicted in a drawing, the absence of such component and process from the drawings should not be considered as an omission of such design from the specification.
Before describing the present invention in detail, it should be observed that the present invention utilizes a combination of components or processes, which constitutes a multifunctional bottle that may be useful during an outdoor camping activity. Accordingly, the components or processes have been represented, showing only specific details that are pertinent for an understanding of the present invention so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those with ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein. As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which can be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific component level details and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure. Further, the terms and phrases used herein are not intended to be limiting but rather to provide an understandable description of the invention.

Furthermore, repeated use of the phrase “in an embodiment” does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. The words “comprising”, “having”, “containing”, and “including”, and other forms thereof, are intended to be equivalent in meaning and be open ended in that an item or items following any one of these words is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of such item or items or meant to be limited to only the listed item or items.
The multi-functional bottle that may be useful during travel especially during camping activities will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, particularly
Referring to
As shown in
The bottle cap 102 houses a compass 110 inside the bottle cap 102. The compass 110 may be used to guide the people during their camping activities. The compass 110, as known in the art, helps to people to find directions.
A top view of the multi-functional bottle, in particular a top view of the bottle cap 102 showing the compass 110 is specifically shown in
In one embodiment, the compass 110 may be of any shape and/or size. Usually the compass 110 takes the shape and size of the bottle cap 102. For example, if the bottle cap 102 is of circular shape, the compass 110 integrated inside the bottle cap 102 is also of circular shape.
The bottle cap 102 is directly connected to the body bottle 104 such that the cap 102 and body 104 appear as a single and a continuous structure. The body 104 may have an opening 104a through which the liquid or beverage may be poured inside the bottle 100. The body 104 may be a hollow container which may be used to hold the liquid or beverage. The body 104 is made from an insulating material such that the liquid inside the body 104 remains hot/cool. For example, if the hot liquid is poured inside the body 104, the body 104 keeps the liquid hot and when the cool liquid is poured inside the body 104, the liquid remains cool inside the body 104.
In one embodiment, the body 104 comprises an inner container and an outer container. The outer container may be made of plastic material to provide aesthetic appearance to the bottle 100 while the inner container is made of steel. In another embodiment, the outer container may have a coating of insulated material such that the liquid inside the bottle 100 remains hot/cool.
As shown in
Connected to the body 104 is the first holding means 106. The first holding means 106 is configured in a form of a handle for the bottle 100 and may be used to hold the bottle 100 with the hands. This provides convenience for the user to hold the bottle 100 easily while drinking the liquid from the bottle 100. In one embodiment, the first holding means 106 may be connected to the body 104 via one or more connectors 118 as seen in
In another embodiment, the first holding means 106 may be directly connected to the bottle 100.
The first holding means 106 has a hollow space 106a as shown in
Referring to
In one embodiment, the at least two connecting means 112 may be a part of the connector 118. For example, the connecting means 112 may be present on the connector 118. In another embodiment, where the connector 118 is not present and the first holding means 106 is directly connected to the body 104 of the bottle 100, the at least two connecting means 112 may be present on the body 104 itself rather than being configured on the connector 118.
Referring back to
The compartment 108 may be hollow and is used to store one or more items. These items may include some necessary items which the person while going for camping may require to be handy during the camping trip. The one or more items may include medicines, candies, sewing tools, etc. In one embodiment, the compartment 108 is made of a material similar to the body 104. In another embodiment, the compartment 108 is made of material different from the body 104.
The compartment 108 is removable from the bottle 104 and may be removed whenever required.
Referring to
Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
