Portable multi-chamber liquid container system with separate outlet valves

Abstract

Portable multi-chamber liquid container system comprising at least two liquid-tight separated chambers, each chamber having its own filling port and associated outlet valve.

Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to portable liquid containers and dispensing systems. In particular, it relates to a multi-chamber liquid container system with separate filling openings and each associated outlet valve, as well as a variant in the form of a portable backpack dispenser system with integrated liquid chambers. 2. State of the art

[0002] Both single-walled and multi-walled beverage containers, as well as mobile dispensing systems, are known from the current state of the art. Typically, mobile beverage backpacks have a single compartment or use hose systems with a central tank. Multi-compartment containers exist predominantly in stationary applications, but not in a compact, portable form with several separate liquid compartments, each with its own dispensing valve / tap.

[0003] A system that allows the simultaneous transport of several separate liquids, with its own filling openings, its own outlet valves and a compact design, is not disclosed in the known prior art. 3. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a portable liquid container system that: • can hold several separate liquids simultaneously, • provides a separate outlet opening for each chamber, • compact, lightweight and portable and • Ensures easy operation during manual dispensing.

[0005] Furthermore, a variant is to be created that is designed as a backpack and allows for comfortable carrying over longer periods of time. 4. Solution to the task

[0006] The task is solved by: 1. a multi-chamber liquid container consisting of at least two, preferably three or more separate chambers, 2. wherein each chamber has a separate filling opening, 3. and a separate outlet valve (e.g. tap) on the outside, 4. and the chambers are arranged in a common housing.

[0007] In a further embodiment, the invention relates to: 5. a backpack dispenser system containing multiple flexible or semi-rigid chambers, 6. wherein each chamber has its own filling openings and outlet valves, 7. and a carrying grid or storage grid for cups is arranged on the top. 5. Examples of Implementation 5.1 Multi-compartment mini-container

[0008] A preferred embodiment includes: • three or more chambers of the same or different sizes • Three or more filling openings in the upper or rear area, each with a screw cap • three or more outlet valves, 7 taps on the front • a common housing made of plastic or metal • a volume of 3 to 15 liters or more • a total weight preferably less than 15 kg (filled)

[0009] The chambers can be rectangular, round, or polygonal in shape.

[0010] The partitions between the chambers are liquid-tight. 5.2 Multi-compartment backpack dispenser

[0011] Another example includes a backpack with: • three or more integrated liquid chambers, • each with its own filling openings, • each with its own outlet valve / tap on the front, • an attached cup grid (storage tray), • Shoulder straps and chest strap for stabilization.

[0012] The containers can be removable or permanently integrated. 5.3 Modular variants

[0013] In another embodiment, the liquid container system can be modular. The individual chambers can be removable, interchangeable, or stackable. The outlet valves can be arranged in one or more rows, particularly one above the other. These variants allow for different volume combinations and flexible applications. All described modular embodiments fall within the scope of protection of the invention. 6 Technical Design / Manufacturing

[0014] The invention can be implemented using conventional industrial manufacturing processes. This includes, in particular, the production of a common housing made of plastic or metal, the insertion of liquid-tight partitions, and the provision of separate filling openings and outlet valves for each chamber. Depending on the choice of material, the actual manufacturing can be carried out by injection molding, welding, bonding, form-fitting, or other industrial manufacturing methods. 7. Advantages of the invention • Simultaneous transport of multiple liquids in a compact system • Hygienically separated chambers • No hoses required • easy cleaning • Intuitive operation through separate valves • High practical benefit for events, outdoor activities, catering and mobile applications 8. Commercial Applicability

[0015] The invention is industrially applicable because it is manufacturable, reproducible and economically usable in various fields such as gastronomy, event management, catering and outdoor activities. 9. Relation to the drawings
