Problems solved by technology

It has long been recognized that the cost and inconvenience of accessing filtered water is a problem which can discourage consumption of sufficient quantities of fluids to adequately hydrate the athlete.
Such devices are relatively complicated, expensive to manufacture and rely on atmospheric pressure to control the rate of fluid flow through the first stage filter.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]The present invention includes, generally, a lid assembly 25 to be mounted on a bottle 21 and including a depending open top cylindrical filter holder 29 which receives a cylindrical filter cup 33 in telescopical relation containing a filter 35. A drinking spout is formed in the lid 25 spaced laterally of the holder 29. The holder and cup are formed in their respective bottom walls with respective apertures 31 and 71 (FIG. 4) to be selectively aligned for flow of filtered water therethrough as indicated by the directional arrows 32. The holder may be formed integrally with a cover plate assembly, generally designated 51, and may project above the top of a circular cover plate 53 to form a connector ring 68 (FIG. 2). The ring 68 is formed in its interior wall with diametrically opposed bayonet thread grooves 67 configured with upwardly opening access slats 69 disposed adjacent clockwise facing stop surfaces 67. The top edge of the cup 33 is likewise formed with pairs of diametr...

Abstract

A personal bottle lid including a filter cup received in a filter holder, the cup and holder having apertures orbitable into alignment with one another for flow through the filter cup and orbitable out of alignment with one another to isolate the cup from the interior of the bottle.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The field of the invention relates to sports bottles and particularly to sports bottles incorporating filters for filtering tap water and the like.[0003]2. Brief Description of Related Art[0004]With the active healthy way of life subscribed to by many in society, a great demand exists for personal sports bottles for carrying a quantity of refreshing or energizing liquid for quick hydration during sporting activities such as running, bicycling, hiking, tennis, golf and the like. Typically, sports bottles are constructed of plastic, a material often not biodegradable and, with the relatively high consumption at today's rates, the landfills are fast filling with single use bottles.[0005]It has long been recognized that the cost and inconvenience of accessing filtered water is a problem which can discourage consumption of sufficient quantities of fluids to adequately hydrate the athlete. Accordingly, there has long existed ...
