Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to a beverage and aerosol bottle cap configured to be detachably attached to a bottle so that a person can drink from it or generate an aerosol for cooling. Background Technology

[0003] In hot environments, people may want to both replenish fluids by drinking water and cool down by generating an aerosol. Bottles that combine drinking and manual operation exist on the market. Manual aerosolization requires a trigger or button, or squeezing the bottle. Furthermore, other existing technologies cannot produce a very fine aerosol and consume more water during atomization / spraying. They also require specific bottle types and cannot be modified for use with existing water bottles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] An exemplary beverage and aerosol bottle cap is configured to be detachably attached to a bottle and to allow a person to generate an aerosol via a pump and a nozzle, and to drink from the drinking spout. The beverage and aerosol bottle cap includes an outer cap having threads, such as universal threads, configured to be detachably attached to the bottle. A drinking spout is coupled to this outer cap and has a drinking spout cap that can be detachably attached to the drinking spout to seal the liquid contents inside the bottle when not being drunk from it. The beverage and aerosol bottle cap may also have a backflow prevention valve configured to prevent backflow of material into the bottle. The beverage and aerosol bottle cap may also have a nozzle coupled to a pump equipped with the beverage and aerosol bottle cap to generate an aerosol from the nozzle. Furthermore, an ultraviolet lamp may be configured to generate disinfecting ultraviolet light inside the bottle. Additionally, the beverage and aerosol bottle cap may include a pressure relief valve to achieve pressure equalization when a pressure difference exists between the inside and outside of the bottle. The pressure relief valve can be configured in the drinking spout cap because the bottle will have an opening when the drinking spout cap is removed from the drinking spout.

[0005] An actuator (such as an on / off actuator) may be located on the beverage and aerosol bottle cap to activate the pump, thereby spraying aerosol from the nozzle. The pump may be configured within an internal portion of the beverage and aerosol bottle cap, or within a portion extending downwards into the bottle when the cap is attached. The pump may receive liquid from inside the bottle via an inlet tube that is flexible, allowing it to bend as needed to keep the weighted inlet coarse filter submerged in liquid within the bottle. The inlet tube may be made of a flexible polymer (such as silicone or polyurethane) and be flexible enough to allow bending 180 degrees without tangling. When the bottle is inverted and someone activates the pump to generate aerosol, the weighted inlet coarse filter can move within the liquid to remain submerged in it (such as water). Thus, even when the bottle is inverted, the pump receives water for aerosol generation. It should be understood that a rigid inlet tube cannot achieve this functionality.

[0006] The inlet pipe is coupled to the pump and can be coupled to an integral conduit formed within an internal cavity of the inner portion of the beverage and aerosol bottle cap. This conduit, formed along the internal cavity, can be directly coupled to the pump and the inlet pipe and may be more durable than a loose conduit within the internal portion.

[0007] The liquid in the bottle may be filtered before being received by the pump. The weighted inlet coarse filter may include one or more filters to prevent debris from reaching the pump and clogging it and / or the spray nozzle. The pre-filter may be configured as the initial filter and may prevent the passage of larger particles, such as about 250 µm or larger, about 150 µm or larger, about 100 µm or larger, and any range between and including the provided sizes. The main filter may be denser than the pre-filter or may prevent the passage of smaller particles than the pre-filter, such as about 100 µm or larger, about 75 µm or larger, about 50 µm or larger, and any range between and including the provided sizes. The final filter may be denser than the main filter or may prevent the passage of smaller particles than the main filter, such as about 50 µm or larger, about 25 µm or larger, about 10 µm or larger, about 5 µm or larger, and any range between and including the provided sizes. The pre-filter and main filter can be configured in the weighted inlet coarse filter, while the final filter can be configured closer to the pump.

[0008] The beverage and aerosol bottle cap may include one or more batteries to power the pump; these batteries may be rechargeable. The beverage and aerosol bottle cap may include a charging port, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) charging port for charging one or more batteries. The battery and pump within the beverage and aerosol bottle cap may be sealed and isolated from the liquid inside the bottle. The battery powers the pump, which may be an electric pump.

[0009] The spray nozzle can be configured to produce an aerosol for cooling in hot weather. The aerosol may be an aerosol of the liquid within the bottle and may be a fine mist with droplet sizes as follows: approximately 100 µm or smaller, approximately 80 µm or smaller, approximately 60 µm or smaller, approximately 50 µm or smaller, approximately 25 µm or smaller, or in the range of approximately 80 µm to approximately 100 µm, or in the range of approximately 10 µm to approximately 60 µm, and any other range between and including the provided values. The spray nozzle can be removed from the beverage and aerosol bottle cap for cleaning or replacement.

[0010] The beverage and aerosol bottle cap of claim 1 further includes a water inlet pipe coupled to the pump and configured to extend into the bottle when the beverage and aerosol bottle cap is attached to the bottle to draw fluid from inside the bottle to the pump; Beverage and aerosol bottle caps may include a backflow prevention valve comprising a drinking valve that opens when liquid flows from the bottle and presses against the drinking valve, and closes when liquid flows back from the drinking spout and presses against the other side of the drinking valve. The drinking valve may be hinged and positioned between a beverage reservoir in the drinking spout and a drinking conduit leading to the bottle. The beverage reservoir may hold backflow, which may be discarded or consumed the next time someone drinks from the bottle.

[0011] Beverage and aerosol bottle caps may include a UV lamp that produces ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength that disinfects by killing or inactivating pathogens, preventing their replication. The UV lamp may produce skin-safe UV light, or neutralizing UV light (such as UV light with a wavelength of about 222 nm), and / or destructive UV light with a wavelength of about 270 nm. Exemplary UV light wavelengths may be in the UV sterilization irradiation (UVGI) range, or from about 200 nm to about 300 nm. For effectiveness and safety, a wavelength of 222 nm, or a range near this specific value, may be required, about 10 nm or less, about 5 nm or less, preferably 2 nm or less, and most preferably 1 nm or less. Neutralizing UV light can prevent the replication of any pathogen, such as a virus, thus preventing viral infection, while destructive UV light can destroy viruses by breaking one or more molecular bonds in viral RNA or DNA. The UV lamp may be configured to emit light from an internal portion and may be located at an extended end of an internal chamber.

[0012] Beverage and aerosol bottle caps may have a pressure relief valve disposed in the drinking spout cap to balance the pressure between the inside and outside of the bottle. When a pump is used to create aerosol when the drinking spout cap is open, the liquid drawn from the bottle to generate aerosol creates a vacuum pressure inside the bottle, which causes the pump to work harder to overcome this vacuum and pump the liquid. The pressure relief valve may be configured to open when the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bottle reaches a threshold. The pressure relief valve may include a bladder that automatically opens when the pressure difference reaches the threshold. Furthermore, when the pressure outside the bottle decreases, such as due to travel, changes in altitude, or air travel, the pressure relief valve may open to allow air to escape from the inside of the bottle to the outside.

[0013] This invention relates to a beverage and aerosol bottle cap device and system.

[0014] The beverage and aerosol bottle cap device and system is the first electric atomizer that allows for normal drinking without the need to change parts or accessory settings. It features a universal thread that can be adapted to many of the most popular bottles.

[0015] Unique features include: Miniature pumps (also known as pumps); The pump and battery are housed in a waterproof tube or casing; High-pressure pipelines transport aerosol particles ranging from 10 to 60 micrometers; A water tank, a waterproof fitting at the bottom of a pipe; Pump pipe positioning / location; and The pump and pipe are also located in the casing.

[0016] The beverage and aerosol bottle cap device and system is an improvement over similar products because it is compatible with existing water bottles from many different manufacturers, so you don't have to stop using your favorite water bottle. It produces a finer, cooler mist that is less likely to wet your body than other products. The aerosol generation is electric, making it easier to operate and allowing for continuous spraying of cooling mist without the need for manual pumping or squeezing. You can use the same water bottle for both drinking and spraying. The beverage and aerosol bottle cap device and system has unique features including: 1. It can be adapted to a variety of bottle universal threads.

[0017] 2. An electric atomizer that allows users to vape or drink without changing accessories or accessory settings.

[0018] 3. The pump can be a micropump, small in size, capable of pumping lower volumes of liquid to create an aerosol, such as about 5 ml / min or more, about 10 ml / min or more, about 25 ml / min or more, about 50 ml / min or more, and any range between and including the provided values. The pump can be a diaphragm pump, peristaltic pump, piston pump, etc. The pump can operate or generate high-pressure fluid to the spray nozzle, such as about 20 psi or higher, about 40 psi or higher, about 60 psi or higher, about 80 psi or higher, or even about 100 psi or higher, or in the range of about 40 psi to 65 psi. The pump can be connected to an on / off switch or button and deliver high-pressure liquid to the spray nozzle to create an aerosol. The pump can be powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged via a mini-USB port located on or within the bottle cap.

[0019] 4. The pump and battery are housed within a waterproof tube, which is mechanically fitted to the bottle cap. The tube housing can be designed to be as low as possible so that no more than 3 ounces of water will leak out when submerged in water.

[0020] 5. High-pressure piping and / or fittings extend from the pump's output port to a hole on the cover and have threads or other mechanical means to attach the ultrafine mist nozzle through the main cover of the cover to the hose and / or fittings.

[0021] 6. The spray nozzle can spray particles ranging from 10 to 60 microns and uses only about 1 ounce of water per minute of continuous atomization.

[0022] 7. The water tank can be attached to the pump's inlet port and arranged in a way that extends downward along the interior of the waterproof pump tube and flows out from a waterproof fitting at the bottom of the tube.

[0023] 8. The pump tube can be placed on one side of the bottom of the cap so that the drinking port allows water to flow freely even when the cap is upside down.

[0024] 9. The pump and pipe may be located inside the casing.

[0047] refer to Figures 1 to 6 The beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 includes an outer cap 310, a drinking spout cap 50, a first semi-circular battery housing 102 and a second semi-circular battery housing 142. The first semi-circular battery housing 102 has a concave surface 104, and a first end 106 of the first semi-circular battery housing 102 has two female openings 108 and 110, the openings being sized to receive two male protrusions 144 and 146 fixed to the first end 148 of the second semi-circular battery housing 142.

[0048] The second end 150 of the second semi-circular battery casing 142 has a male protrusion 152, the size of which is set to match a female opening 132 on the second end of the first semi-circular battery casing 102. The concave surface 104 also includes a first vertical wall 112, a second vertical wall 114, and a horizontal wall 116 extending from the concave surface 104, and the dimensions of the first vertical wall 112 and the second vertical wall 114 are set to receive the battery 300.

[0049] The semi-circular battery housing 102 also includes a charging port 165, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port housing 160 having a first circular opening 162, a second horizontal elliptical opening 164, and a third vertical elliptical opening 166. The USB port allows the user to charge the battery for atomization operations. The USB port housing is further sized to receive a USB port waterproof cover 200 having a first truncated cone protrusion 202, a second horizontal elliptical protrusion 204, and a third vertical elliptical protrusion 206. This forms a waterproof seal that protects the battery during use but allows the user to open it for charging.

[0050] Further reference Figures 1 to 8 The outer cover 310 has an outer surface 316 and an integrally formed drinking spout 312, and the outer surface 316 has an opening of the same size as the nozzle fitting 400. The nozzle fitting 400 also includes an opening 402, the size of which is set to receive a nozzle 420. The outer cover 310 also includes an upper portion having a concave section 320 sized to receive a handle 450 having a convex portion. The rotatable handle 450 forms a smooth connection with the outer cover 310 when in a downward position. The handle 450 also includes a first end 454 and a second end 456, both of which have a circular opening 460 sized to receive a female hinge pin 470. The female hinge pin 470 has an opening 472 sized to engage with and receive a male hinge pin 480 to secure the rotatable handle 450 to the outer cover 310.

[0051] The exemplary beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 also includes a tether 500 having an opening 502 sized to receive the female hinge pin 470, and a cylindrical pump housing 600 having an outer surface 602 and an internal chamber 604 sized to receive a pump 650. The pump housing 600 also has a lower portion 610 having an outlet 612 directly connected to a first end 642 of an inlet pipe 640. The inlet pipe 640 has a lower portion 644 connected to a weighted inlet coarse filter 660. During use, the beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 is detachably attached to a separate container (not shown) to allow the user to drink or spray. The lower portion of the outer cap 310 includes a universal thread 315 for mating with various outer bottles. The user can activate the pump by pressing the on / off actuator 190. It should also be understood that adapters can be used to mat with outer bottles of various diameters. The user can then drink by opening the drinking spout. Alternatively, the user can initiate the atomization operation by pressing the pump actuator. When the pump actuator is pressed, the pump starts, drawing water from the lower container through the pipe to the spray nozzle 318, where the water molecules are atomized to form an aerosol for the user.

[0052] Of course, this invention is not intended to be limited to any particular form or arrangement, or any specific embodiment, or any specific use disclosed herein, because various modifications in detail or relationship may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as claimed above. The apparatus or methods shown herein are for illustrative and disclosure purposes only and are not intended to show all the various forms or modifications that the invention may be implemented or operated in.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the exemplary beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 has an outer cap 310 that forms an outer portion 301 of the beverage and aerosol bottle cap configured to extend beyond an opening 16 of the bottle 12, and an inner portion 601 configured to insert into the interior 15 of the bottle 12. A thread 317 of the beverage and aerosol bottle cap is configured to screw onto a bottle thread 14. The outer portion has a drinking spout (not visible) and a drinking spout cap 50 configured to cover the drinking spout. Furthermore, a spray nozzle 318 is disposed in the outer cap 310 and configured to produce an aerosol. The inner portion 601 includes an internal chamber 604 forming a pump housing 600 that surrounds a pump for pumping fluid (such as water) from inside the bottle to the spray nozzle 318. An inlet pipe 604 extends from the internal chamber 604 to an extension end 641, on which a weighted inlet coarse filter 660 may be disposed to filter water. The inlet pipe couples the pump 650 to the fluid inside the bottle and provides a conduit for the fluid from inside the bottle to the pump. An integral conduit 605 may be molded into or formed along the internal portion 601 and couples the inlet pipe 640 to the pump 650.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, bottle 12 is inverted, with the beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 positioned below the bottom 17 of the bottle. A weighted inlet coarse filter 660 is coupled to a flexible inlet pipe 640, allowing the weighted inlet coarse filter 660 to fall into the liquid 28 within bottle 12. Note that the flexible inlet pipe can bend 180 degrees without tangling, allowing fluid flow even when the bottle is inverted. Furthermore, even when the bottle is inverted, the flexible inlet pipe 640 and the weighted inlet coarse filter 660 allow fluid to flow to the pump. Note that in Figure 2 In the middle, the liquid level 27 in bottle 12 is higher than that in beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the weighted inlet coarse filter 660 has a pre-filter comprising a filter to prevent the passage of particles 100µm and larger, a main filter to prevent the passage of particles 50µm and larger, and a final filter to prevent the passage of particles 5µm and larger. This arrangement of multiple progressively finer filters prevents very small particles from entering the pump, thus avoiding clogging of the spray nozzles. Furthermore, this progressive arrangement prevents the finer filters from clogging.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the weighted inlet coarse filter 660 may include one or more filters, such as a pre-filter 661, a main filter 662, and a final filter 663. Note that the final filter may be configured closer to the pump.

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, the ultraviolet lamp device 20 is configured to emit ultraviolet light 22 into the bottle when the beverage and aerosol bottle cap are attached to the bottle. The ultraviolet lamp device 20 can be coupled to an internal portion 601, such as an internal chamber 604, and emit light from an extension of the internal chamber. As described herein, the ultraviolet lamp device 20 can emit UV light with wavelengths configured to destroy or inactivate bacteria.

[0058] Now for reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 The external portion of the beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 has a pressure relief valve 40 in the drinking spout cap 50 to allow airflow into the bottle to release the vacuum created when the spray nozzle 318 atomizes the fluid inside the bottle. When the drinking spout cap 50 forms an aerosol at the drinking spout to create a seal, a vacuum forms inside the bottle, which interferes with the pump drawing fluid into it to form an aerosol. Figure 10As shown, the pressure relief valve 40 may include a bladder 42 that automatically opens when a vacuum pressure exceeding a threshold limit forms between the inside and outside of the bottle. The bladder may be a resilient valve, or include a resilient bladder that generates a hiccup valve, a type of valve that temporarily opens automatically to balance pressure. When liquid is pumped from the bottle to form an aerosol, a vacuum pressure is created inside the bottle due to the reduction in liquid volume. At this time, the pressure relief valve may open to allow air from outside the bottle to flow in and release this vacuum pressure. Furthermore, when atmospheric pressure changes, such as when altitude changes, a vacuum pressure may be created outside the bottle. In this case, the pressure relief valve may open to achieve pressure balance between the inside and outside of the bottle, thus bringing the pressure to the outside. Atmospheric changes may occur when driving on roads with significant altitude differences or traveling by air. The pressure relief valve may be a two-way pressure relief valve that opens to balance pressure or allow airflow into or out of the bottle. The bladder may be made of a resilient material and spring-loaded to close after an airflow passes through the pressure relief valve 40 to release the vacuum. Figure 10 The battery 300 and pump 650 inside the pump housing 600 are also shown. Figure 7 An on / off actuator 190 and a charging port cover 200 are shown.

[0059] refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 may include a backflow prevention valve 70 configured to prevent fluid from flowing back into the bottle from the outlet of the drinking spout 312. The backflow prevention valve 70 includes a drinking valve 74 coupled to a pivot 72, wherein upward flow of water from inside the bottle through a drinking conduit 79 actuates the drinking valve about the pivot 72 to an open position, while fluid flow from the drinking spout opening 311 rotates the drinking valve 74 about the pivot 72 to a closed position. The drinking spout 312 may form a beverage reservoir 76 that can contain any backflow until the next time someone drinks from the drinking spout 312.

[0060] Now for reference Figures 13 to 15 An exemplary beverage and aerosol bottle cap 10 is configured to attach to the bottle 12 so that a person can both... Figure 13 As shown, it can be drunk from the drinking spout and can also produce a mist 32 from the spray nozzle. Figure 14 As shown, the bottle can be inverted, and because of... Figure 2 The inlet pipe 640 shown is flexible, so that it can generate a mist from the spray nozzle and allow the weighted inlet coarse filter 660 to fall into the liquid 28 inside the bottle 12.

[0061] Those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications, combinations, and variations can be made to this invention without departing from its scope. The specific embodiments, features, and elements described herein can be modified and / or combined in any suitable manner. Therefore, it is intended that this invention cover modifications, combinations, and variations of the invention, provided that such modifications, combinations, and variations fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
