Benefits of technology

[0005] It is another object of the invention to provide a bottle assembly which allows convenient mixing of contents stored in the inner and outer vessels.
[0008] It is another object of the invention to provide a bottle assembly which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
[0010] These and other objects of the present invention are achieved in the preferred embodiments disclosed below by providing a bottle assembly including an inner vessel and an outer vessel. The outer vessel is adapted for holding a liquid, and has an open mouth through which the liquid is poured. The inner vessel is received within the open mouth of the outer vessel, and is adapted for storing contents separate from the liquid contained in the outer vessel. Means are provided for rupturing a bottom wall of the inner vessel when the inner vessel is positioned within the open mouth of the outer vessel. Contents stored in the inner vessel can thereby mix with the liquid contained in the outer vessel without removing the inner vessel from the outer vessel.

Problems solved by technology

No other existing product offers the conveniences of the present assembly.

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Referring now specifically to the drawings, a bottle assembly according to the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1, and shown generally at reference numeral 10. The bottle assembly 10 is especially applicable for separately storing contents which are intended to be either mixed together immediately prior to use, or consumed by the user one after the other. The contents are provided in inner and outer vessels 11 and 12, respectively. In one application, for example, the inner vessel 11 contains one to two ounces of liquor with the outer vessel 12 containing a non-alcoholic mixer. In a further application, the inner vessel 11 may contain a flavored powder or syrup concentrate adapted for mixing with water contained in the outer vessel 12. In yet another application, the inner vessel may 11 contain a pharmaceutical, such as aspirin, while the outer vessel 12 contains a beverage, such as water. Preferably, the outer vessel 12 resembles a conventional plastic beverage bottl...
