Benefits of technology

The patent describes the development of prototype bladders that can display a color change dependent upon the flavor enhancer inside. These bladders were made using a rapid prototype machine and a specific material. Additionally, a multi-spout can top is also described, which is a hard white plastic with a rotating lift tab. The technical effects of this patent are the creation of soft and squeezable bladders that can display a color change and the development of a multi-spout can top for enhanced flavor delivery.

Problems solved by technology

Many people like these substances with their beverages but the availability of them is often scarce.
Companies often advertise with flavor enhancements such as a lime wedge in the top of a beer bottle but don't provide it when sold.

Embodiment Construction

[0036]Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not for purposes of limiting the same, a flavor delivery system. All bottle bladders FIGS. (A), (B), (C), are attached via adhesive or heat melding, as per the manufacture, to a cap (24) as the cap seal (1) inside the beverage and house a flavor enhancer in a hollow internal cavity (5). Bladder FIG. (A) has the flavor enhancer delivered through a perforated split (2). Designed as a one handed approach, the perforated split (2) will separate upon pressure of being squeezed, allowing for the flavor enhancer to be dispensed into the top of the beverage container.

[0037]In another preferred embodiment bladder FIG. (B) has a pull tab (3) and requires a two handed delivery approach. One hand holds the cap (24) above the bottle opening and the other pulls the pull tab (3), tearing the perforation (4) and releasing the flavor enhancer into the bottle.

Abstract

The invention is a flavor enhancement delivery system named The Flavor Chamber. A bladder (A), (B), (C) that is attached to the underside of a bottle cap (24) and is intended to replace the cap seal (1). In a can, the bladder (D) is attached to the underside of a multi-spout can top (E). The shape and color varies per the function and visualization of the product such as a green, yellow or orange citrus wedge bladder (A) to represent a lime, lemon or orange citrus flavor respectively as seen through a clear bottle. It may be a neutral colored dome shape bladder (B) for a generic look that does not represent a flavor well by shape and may not be seen such as in a darker bottle. It may be shaped to the dimensions and circumference of the underside of a multi-spout can top (E) and hold a flavor chamber (10) under each individual can top opening (11). Its intent is to offer the option of choosing a flavor enhancement to the beverage after opening the container or choosing not to enhance the original flavor. Other substances can be inserted into the bladders (A), (B), (C), (D) per design of the manufacture and non-beverage applications and industries may adopt the flavor chamber bladder idea for use with different products and chemicals.
