Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a drinking bottle that allows the user to activate the spout using a natural swiping movement. This is done through a twist ring that is connected to the spout and can be rotated between a closed position and a drinking position. A spout guard is attached to the twist ring and partially covers the spout when in the stowed position. This prevents any accidental contact with the spout and ensures safe and easy use of the drinking bottle.

Problems solved by technology

However, the same button cannot be used by the user to return the spout and the spout cover back into the stowed position.
This is often inconvenient for the user.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]As illustrated in the attached FIGS. 1-12, a drinking bottle 10 includes a container 20 and a lid 30. As shown in FIGS. 3-4, the container has a hollow interior 22 for holding a liquid and a neck 24 with a threaded outer surface 26. A corresponding inner threaded surface 36 is formed on the lid allowing the lid to be twisted onto the container so as to enclose the hollow interior.

[0021]Lid 30 preferably includes a main bottom portion 38, a twist ring 60, a spout 40 and a main top portion 42 with a top surface 32. A spout guard 50 is provided on the twist ring 60.

[0022]Spout 40 includes a drinking end 44 and a drinking channel 46 protected by top and bottom spout shells 56 and 58, respectively. Further, spout 40 is movable between a stowed (i.e., closed) position and a dispensing (i.e., open) position. In the dispensing position, spout 40 extends substantially vertically above the top surface 32, and the drinking channel 46 is fluidly connected to the hollow interior 22 of the ...

Abstract

A drinking bottle includes a container and a lid. The container has a hollow interior for holding a liquid. The lid can be connected to the container so as to enclose the hollow interior. The lid has a top surface, a spout, a spout guard and a twist ring. The spout includes a drinking end and a drinking channel, and is movable between a stowed position, in which the drinking end is positioned adjacent the top surface and the drinking channel is not connected to the hollow interior of the container, and a dispensing position, in which the spout is positioned above the top surface of the lid and the drinking channel is connected to the hollow interior of the container so as to allow a user to drink the liquid from the container. The twist ring is operably connected to the spout and is selectively movable between a closed position corresponding to the stowed position of the spout, a drinking position corresponding to the dispensing position of the spout, and an open position at which the lid is disconnected from the container. The spout guard is fixedly mounted on the twist ring and partially extends above the top surface of the lid so as to partially cover the drinking end of the spout when the spout is in the stowed position. A swiping movement of the spout guard causes the twist ring to rotate between the closed position and the drinking position, and correspondingly causes the spout to move between the stowed position and the dispensing position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This application and its disclosure generally relate to the field of drinking bottles with movable spouts.[0002]Many conventional water bottles provide a spout movable from a stowed position into a dispensing position. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 9,162,802 discloses a water bottle having a lid with a spout and a spout cover. The spout and the spout cover are movable in opposite directions between the stowed position and the dispensing position. The spout and the spout cover are connected to an actuating mechanism. In order to move the spout and the spout cover from the stowed position into the dispensing position, a user pushes a button of the actuating mechanism. However, the same button cannot be used by the user to return the spout and the spout cover back into the stowed position. For this, the user has to push the spout cover back into the stowed position, which, in turn, moves the spout cover into the stowed position. This is often inconvenient ...
