None.
This invention relates to bottles and particularly ones were the main body can be split up.
People often want to fill their water bottles with drinks other than water but don't want to deal with the aftermath. People will fill their water bottle with a different drink and no matter how often they wash it afterwards, it still tastes like the other drink. Many time people just end up just throwing your water bottle away.
There is still room for improvement in the art.
The current invention is a bottle such as a water bottle, that can be broken up into pieces. It has top and bottom pieces with threads with a middle section separates into two or more sides that separate. The sides are arced and are connected at the edges. When the sides are connected they form a cylinder. The sides have threads on the top and bottom. The bottom screws on the bottom on the cylinder. The top has a spout and screws on the top of the cylinder.
Without restricting the full scope of this invention, the preferred form of this invention is illustrated in the following drawings:
There are a number of significant design features and improvements incorporated within the invention.
As shown in
The top 10 has a cap 12 for the spout 11 which closes forming a waterproof seal. The cap 12 is connected to the top 10 with a top tab 13. The top tab 13 is guided with a tab guide 15 which is a loop connected to the top to insure that the tab 13 is securely positioned.
