Benefits of technology

[0008]Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to bottle delivery system and a method of utilizing the same. Embodiments of the present invention provide a means of tailoring the mix of ingredients to individual taste desires through the controlled alignment of apertures included within one compartment with apertures in the second compartment through a simple twisting motion of the one against the other. As explained herein, the degree of “twist” imparted allows for a full opening between the adjacent apertures, to a lesser opening, or to almost a full closure to meet the customer's preference. Although many different shapes and style bottle containers may be utilized in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, each embodiment of the present invention allows for a degree a control as to the extent of mixing between compartments of the container.

Problems solved by technology

A major problem with these prior designs is that the ingredients of the one is entirely mixed with the ingredients of the other, with no means to control just how much one ingredient is mixed with the other.
Frequently, the resultant water-soluble drink is too sweet, or too strong, even where measured amounts are initially packaged in the individual sections prior to their being joined together at the time of consumption.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to bottle delivery system and a method of utilizing the same. Embodiments of the present invention more specifically relate to a mixing and dispensing container having separable compartments for storing different materials to be selectively blended and dispensed at a time just before intended use.

[0024]FIGS. 1a-1c show a bottle design 10 having a side-mount area 12 in which a granular-mix of liquid in a first compartment 14 is part of a cap 16. The cap 16 is non-removable although overlying an aperture 18, with the cap 16 being twisted in a counterclockwise direction 100 to open. A plate 20 formed in the bottle 10 includes a plurality of apertures 22 through which the ingredients in the compartment 14 can pass into the bottle once the cap 16 is twisted to align the apertures 18 and 22. A stop 24 limits the extent to which the cap 16 can be rotated open from its closed position.

[0025]In FIGS. 2a-2c, the cap 30 will be apprec...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a bottle delivery system and a method of utilizing the same. In one embodiment, a container comprises an interior volume for storing a first material, defined by at least a sidewall and a removable seal for accessing the interior volume, a plate integrally formed with the sidewall, comprising at least an aperture passing through the plate, and a side-cap rotatably connected to the plate on an outer surface of the sidewall, having an aperture on a surface of the side-cap adjacent to the plate, and containing a second material, wherein the second material may be introduced to the interior volume by rotating the side-cap and aligning the aperture in the surface of the side-cap with the aperture of the plate.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Application claims priority to pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 001,761, filed Nov. 5, 2007, entitled “Bottle Delivery System,” the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to bottle delivery system and a method of utilizing the same. Embodiments of the present invention more specifically relate to a mixing and dispensing container having separable compartments for storing different materials to be selectively blended and dispensed at a time just before intended use.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Closure caps for containers which allow two substances to be mixed to form a single composite product are known. As is understood, the composite product is subsequently dispensed by unscrewing the closure cap. As is also known, containers of this type are frequently e...
