Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a special bottle with two chambers that can store different types of content and remain at different temperatures without leaks or mixing. The bottle has three interchangeable lids that can be used to access the contents of each chamber separately, or mixed together using a snack and drink configuration. The gasket between the lid and bottle body keeps the contents air tight and prevents any leaks. The spouts on the bottle are wide enough to allow for easy flow of liquids and solids, and there is an optional stainless steel insert or clip to help speed up the heat transfer between the chambers. This patent improves upon traditional dual chamber bottles by allowing for more flexibility and options for keeping the contents at separate temperatures or achieving a uniform temperature.

Problems solved by technology

During extended exercise activities, individuals face serious dehydration problems and the loss of competitive capabilities unless they continuously replenish the fluids lost during such exercise activities.
Traditional sports bottles present a limitation in that they do not allow an individual to enjoy a plurality of different liquid drinks separately from each other, without the liquids mixing.
However, this container does not allow the user to mix contents before they leave container.
The same issue arises with US Patent Application US 2013 / 0001233 because it does not allow mixing of contents before they leave container.
U.S. Pat. No. 8,240,581 describes two outlet tubes to drink out of two containers but the apparatus described in this patent does not allow the user to have the contents mixed before they leave the apparatus.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,042,018 describes liquid drinking assemblage system but does not allow liquids to be mixed before leaving the container.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,794,819 provides a bottle which does not allow mixing of the contents before they leave the bottle.
US Patent Application 2015 / 0353260 describes a multi chamber container but does not allow mixing of the chamber contents before leaving the container.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,954,213 also describes a dual chambered bottle but also does not provide for mixing of the chamber contents before leaving the bottle.
U.S. Pat. No. 8,240,497 describe dual chambered bottle but does not provide for mixing contents before leaving the bottle.
This bottle has a squeeze feature making it very difficult to refill once the contents have been emptied out.
This bottle lacks the ability to actually provide users the ability to drink contents out separately.
Compared to the present disclosure, these drinking tubes can only be use for sucking out liquids but they cannot be used for pouring out liquids.
When these drinking tubes are inserted into a drinking cup with two holes, it will inadvertently lead to leakage of contents when the liquids are poured out.

Abstract

Dual chambered container with partition space between the walls of the two chambers to prevent contents from reaching a uniform temperature; three interchangeable lids with flip up spouts: to pour or sip contents separately when spout is lifted up, to pour or sip contents mixed together when spout is lifted up, pour or sip from one chamber when flip up spout is lifted up and pick out snacks, chips etc from the other chamber; gasket between lid and bottle body to seal bottle and prevent leakage; stainless steel insert between the two content chambers so contents will reach uniform temperature or stainless steel clip sleeve to allow direct thermal contact between content of each chamber.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 14 / 296,355 filed on Jun. 30, 2014 by the present inventor which is incorporated herewith by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of Technical Art[0003]The present disclosure relates to dual chambered containers for liquids, purees, solids where the two chambers are separated by a dividing wall and for separately dispensing liquids.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]The bottle is designed with 3 interchangeable lids. The first lid is a 2-n-1 design that has separate flip-up spouts for extracting liquids from both the first and second chamber. The second lid, a 2-to-1 flip-up spout design that has two spouts for extracting contents from both the first and second chamber and merge into one spout allowing contents to mix together upon consumption. The third lid consists of a Snack and drink lid which consists of one flip up spout for sipping or pouring liqu...
