Description

[0001] drinking bottle

[0002] The present invention relates to a drinking bottle comprising a container for drinking liquid, a mouthpiece, a drinking liquid transport channel for transporting drinking liquid, an aroma chamber for receiving an aroma substance, and an aroma transport channel for transporting air enriched with the aroma substance, i.e., aromatized air, wherein the aroma transport channel extends from the aroma chamber to the mouth end of the mouthpiece, wherein the mouthpiece is designed to be pivotable about a mouthpiece pivot axis, and wherein the drinking liquid transport channel extends from the mouth end of the mouthpiece into the container.

[0003] Such a drinking bottle is suitable for so-called retronasal drinking. The principle of retronasal drinking is explained below.

[0004] In times of growing interest in conscious and healthy eating, as well as for fitness reasons, the beverage industry offers a wide range of reduced-calorie or calorie-free drinks. Many customers desire low-calorie or calorie-free beverages but don't want to compromise on taste. To meet these demands, the industry offers beverages with reduced sugar or sweetened with sugar substitutes or sweeteners. However, these substances can have other health or taste disadvantages.

[0005] As explained in the introduction to EP 3 944 792 Al, water is therefore frequently flavored with fruit. However, such flavored beverages may contain undesirable substances (such as the aforementioned sweeteners or colorings) and possibly small amounts of sugar.

[0006] EP 3 944 792 A states the following in this regard: “Since the olfactory sensory impression constitutes an essential part of the gustatory perception when consuming food and beverages, existing drinking systems attempt to influence the smell perceived while drinking. Aroma elements are proposed for this purpose, which can be attached to a drinking vessel near the drinking opening so that the aroma element is in close proximity to the user's nose, who breathes through their nose while drinking and thus perceives the scent.”

[0007] From WO 2019 / 016096 Al, a drinking device is known for the retronasal ingestion of an aroma substance, comprising an air-permeable aroma container that supplies aromatized air to a transport channel for drinking liquid. In this way, the aroma substance is ingested retronasally. When drinking, the aroma substance enters the user's mouth along with the drinking liquid and then rises retronasally through the pharynx to the olfactory mucosa, where it is detected by the receptors located there and perceived by the user. This utilizes the fact that there is a close connection between the sense of smell and the sense of taste. The user therefore gets the impression of tasting the aroma, even though they are actually only smelling it retronasally.

[0008] Drinking bottles for so-called retronasal drinking are known from the prior art, e.g. from EP 3 944 792 Al. However, these drinking bottles are often complex to handle.

[0009] Drinking bottles with a fixed mouthpiece are also known. These bottles often have a lid that covers the mouthpiece and protects it from external elements during transport. If a user wants to drink from the bottle, this lid must first be opened, either by separating it from the bottle or by flipping it back using a more complex mechanism. A disadvantage of this design is that the user has to handle both the bottle and the lid while drinking, or that the bottle requires a separate lid mechanism for opening and securing the lid in addition to the drinking mechanism itself.

[0010] The present invention is therefore based on the objective of providing a drinking bottle that enables retronasal drinking in a more user-friendly, flexible, and alternative manner compared to drinking bottles known from the prior art. This objective is achieved with a drinking bottle according to claim 1.

[0011] The present invention relates firstly to a drinking bottle comprising a container for drinking liquid, a mouthpiece, a drinking liquid transport channel for transporting drinking liquid, an aroma chamber for receiving an aroma substance, and an aroma transport channel for transporting air enriched with the aroma substance, i.e., aromatized air, wherein the aroma transport channel extends from the aroma chamber to the mouth end of the mouthpiece, wherein the mouthpiece is designed to be pivotable about a mouthpiece pivot axis, and wherein the drinking liquid transport channel extends from the mouth end of the mouthpiece into the container.

[0012] The container for drinking liquid can be made of plastic or metal. The container can be made of several layers of material, each of which can be metal or plastic. The container can be rigid, i.e., inflexible. However, it may be designed so that the container is at least partially made of a flexible material.

[0013] The mouthpiece is designed so that a user places their mouth or lips against it while drinking. The mouthpiece can be attached to the container. The mouthpiece can be an integral part of the container. The mouthpiece can be made of the same material as the container or the lid. The mouthpiece can be made of plastic, metal, glass, or a glass-ceramic.

[0014] The drinking liquid can be, for example, a tasteless, drinkable liquid. It can be water, for instance. The drinking liquid can contain carbon dioxide, but it can also be non-carbonated. The drinking liquid can be at any temperature, as long as it is liquid. For example, it can be at a temperature above its freezing point. The drinking liquid can be chilled, for example, at a temperature between 0°C and 15°C, or at a temperature above 15°C. The drinking liquid can also be hot, for example, at a temperature above 60°C or at a temperature close to its boiling point.The drinking bottle may contain an insulating material that keeps the temperature of the drinking liquid constant for a certain period or at least slows down its warming or cooling process. The drinking liquid may contain ice or other cooling agents. The drinking liquid may have a flavor that is enhanced or (deliberately) modified by the aroma entering the mouth and throat during retronasal drinking.

[0015] A liquid transport channel can extend at least partially vertically through the interior of a container. "Vertical extension" can mean that the liquid transport channel extends at least partially perpendicularly or substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the container. This can mean that at least a section of the liquid transport channel runs parallel or nearly parallel to the longitudinal axis of a drinking bottle. The liquid transport channel can thus form a transport channel axis. However, the liquid transport channel can also extend through the interior of the container in a direction other than vertical, for example, at least partially at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle (i.e., not parallel). The liquid transport channel can also be helical, spiral, or zigzag in shape.Furthermore, the liquid transport channel allows drinking liquid to be transported vertically upwards (towards the mouthpiece) from the container, particularly the bottom of the container. The liquid transport channel has two ends (with openings), one end being located at the mouthpiece end and the other inside the container. The liquid transport channel is bounded by a channel wall. The liquid transport channel can be tubular, for example, with a cylindrical or polygonal cross-section. The liquid transport channel and / or the channel wall can be made of plastic, glass, metal, or another suitable material. The liquid transport channel can be designed in the style of a straw.

[0016] An aroma chamber can be understood as a chamber or space in which an aroma substance is arranged. When air flows through the aroma chamber, the aroma substance can be carried along by the air. The aroma substance can be contained in a carrier material. The carrier material can be made of a natural material, textile, plastic, metal, ceramic, nonwoven fabric, pulp, cellulose, paper, cardboard, paper-like materials, or other materials. Carrier materials made of such substances can be considered particularly sustainable. The carrier material may be designed to be reusable, meaning it can be enriched with aroma substance multiple times. The aroma substance can be contained in the carrier material as a solid, liquid, gas, or in molecular form. The carrier material can be saturated with the aroma substance.The flavoring agent or the carrier material containing the flavoring agent can be arranged in an aroma pad, which is then inserted into the aroma chamber. The drinking bottle can have a device that allows the user to open the aroma pad.

[0017] An aroma transport channel can be understood as a conduit that can convey air enriched with flavoring. The aroma transport channel can be fluidically connected to the aroma chamber and the mouthpiece. Specifically, the aroma transport channel can be connected or connectable to the aroma chamber and the mouthpiece in such a way that air can be drawn into the aroma chamber from the outside by drawing air in from the mouthpiece or by creating a negative pressure there. In the aroma chamber, the drawn-in air can be enriched with flavoring. Subsequently, the flavor-enriched air can flow from the aroma chamber into the aroma transport channel. Through this channel, the flavor-enriched air can be transported to the mouthpiece before exiting it.

[0018] If both the liquid transport channel and the aroma transport channel extend to the mouthpiece's rim, this can lead to a particularly intense taste perception, as the aroma and liquid only mix in the mouth and throat. This can increase the concentration of the aroma in the aroma-liquid mixture. Furthermore, aroma loss can be minimized with this arrangement of the liquid and aroma transport channels. Alternatively, the aroma transport channel can be designed so that it does not extend to the mouthpiece's rim, but ends before it. This can have the advantage, for example, of allowing the aroma-enriched air to distribute more effectively in the mouth or on the tongue. This arrangement can also result in improved ergonomics for the mouthpiece. Further advantages include material savings and a simpler design.

[0019] Furthermore, the mouthpiece can be pivotable. Pivoting the mouthpiece can create a rotational axis. This axis can remain oriented consistently throughout the pivoting process. For example, the axis can be vertical, horizontal, or at any other angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle. It is also conceivable that the mouthpiece can pivot along a complex path, with the orientation of the axis varying or exhibiting different orientations throughout the pivoting process. Finally, the mouthpiece can be mounted in such a way that the user can predetermine the orientation of the axis during pivoting.This can mean that the user can grip the mouthpiece and swivel it variably, whereby the mouthpiece's axis of rotation can be aligned depending on the swiveling movement specified by the user.

[0020] Furthermore, the drinking liquid transport channel can extend from the container to the mouthpiece. This can be understood to mean that the drinking liquid transport channel is a continuous channel, preferably a liquid-tight channel, with only one liquid opening on the container side and one on the mouthpiece side. The container-side liquid opening can be located particularly near the bottom of the container. This facilitates the most complete possible emptying of the container when drinking from the bottle. The mouthpiece-side liquid opening can be located at the mouthpiece. Alternatively, the mouthpiece can be designed such that the mouthpiece is formed by the liquid opening on the mouthpiece side.Alternatively, the mouthpiece can be designed to form the mouthpiece end through both the liquid opening and the aroma opening of the aroma transport channel. It is also possible for the mouthpiece itself to form the mouthpiece end, with the liquid opening and aroma opening on the mouthpiece side leading to it, thus being connected to it in such a way that liquid and aroma-enriched air can exit the drinking bottle through the mouthpiece.

[0021] Further embodiments and features of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. The embodiments and features specified in the dependent claims are described below, along with further embodiments and features.

[0022] According to a first embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the drinking liquid transport channel extends from the mouth end into the container, regardless of the position of the mouthpiece in relation to the mouthpiece rotation axis.

[0023] This can be understood to mean that the mouthpiece can be positioned arbitrarily, in particular pivoted arbitrarily around the mouthpiece's axis of rotation, whereby the liquid transport channel always extends from the mouthpiece into the container. The liquid transport channel can therefore be designed such that it cannot be interrupted or blocked by pivoting the mouthpiece around its axis of rotation. "Extending into the container" can be understood to mean that the liquid transport channel can extend directly to the bottom of the container, to a region of the bottom (i.e., a region near the bottom), to a region of the container opposite the bottom, or to a region located between these regions. Thus, it can refer to any region within the container.It can also be understood that the liquid transport channel is merely connected to the container, i.e., extends only as far as the container. According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the liquid transport channel and the mouthpiece can be permanently or detachably connected to each other in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0024] The liquid transport channel and the mouthpiece can be connected in such a way that the liquid transport channel can rotate with the mouthpiece when it is pivoted. This rotation of the liquid transport channel preferably occurs at the same angular velocity as the mouthpiece pivots around its axis of rotation. Such a permanent or detachable, rotationally fixed connection can be designed as a form-fit, force-fit, or material-fit connection.

[0025] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the drinking liquid transport channel has a transport channel axis arranged in the longitudinal extension of the drinking liquid transport channel, wherein the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis can be arranged or are arranged parallel, aligned or angled to each other.

[0026] The transport channel axis can be formed by the entire drinking liquid transport channel or only a definable section thereof. It is therefore possible for the drinking liquid transport channel to have only a partially straight path, which in turn can define the transport channel axis. The transport channel axis can be formed by a part of the drinking liquid transport channel located within the container or by a part of the drinking liquid transport channel located outside the container. Furthermore, the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis can be arranged parallel to each other. This can mean that the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis are aligned in the same direction but spaced apart from each other. Alternatively, the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis can be aligned with each other.This can be understood to mean that they can have the same orientation and no distance from each other. In this embodiment, the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis lie on one and the same straight line. The transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis can also be described as identical in this embodiment. Alternatively, the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis can be arranged at an angle to each other. This can mean, for example, that the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis can be arranged at right angles to each other. It can also be provided that the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis have any angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, preferably between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, to each other.It may also be provided that the arrangement of the transport channel axis and the mouthpiece rotation axis relative to each other depends on the pivoting of the mouthpiece and can change when the mouthpiece is pivoted.

[0027] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the mouthpiece can be pivotable from a closed position, in which the transport of drinking liquid and flavored air is prevented, to an open position, in which the transport of drinking liquid and flavored air is enabled, and vice versa, wherein the mouthpiece is preferably lockable in the closed position and / or the open position.

[0028] In the closed position, the liquid transport channel and the aroma transport channel can be blocked individually or together. For example, the transport of liquid or aromatized air can be enabled by blocking the mouthpiece. It can be provided that the blockage of the liquid transport channel, the aroma transport channel, and / or the mouthpiece is only enabled in the closed position. Alternatively, the blockage can remain in effect until the mouthpiece is fully pivoted into the open position. In the open position, the transport of liquid and / or aromatized air is not blocked but allowed.

[0029] Furthermore, the mouthpiece may be lockable in the closed and / or open position. The locking mechanism may be a projection that must be overcome when switching between the closed and open positions. Alternatively, the mouthpiece may be held in the closed and / or open position by an additional locking element. This locking element may be manually moved into the locking position by a user or be moved into the locking position by the pivoting movement of the mouthpiece.

[0030] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the aroma transport channel can be provided to have a first aroma section on the aroma chamber side and a second aroma section on the mouth end side, wherein the second aroma section can be connected to the first aroma section by pivoting the mouthpiece into the opening position and can be separated from the first aroma section by pivoting the mouthpiece into the closing position.

[0031] The aroma transport channel can therefore be designed to be divisible into two distinct sections: the first aroma section and the second aroma section. The aroma transport channel can be divided, in particular, when the mouthpiece is pivoted from the open position towards the closed position. Alternatively, the aroma transport channel can only be divided into the two sections when the mouthpiece is fully pivoted into the closed position. The first aroma section and the second aroma section can each have an interface. Each interface can be designed as a cutting element opening. The respective cutting element openings can be designed to be complementary to each other and arranged in a coordinated manner, so that the cutting element openings can provide an airtight or a predominantly airtight connection between the first aroma section and the second aroma section.The respective cutting part openings can be arranged in alignment with each other, especially when the mouthpiece is in the open position.

[0032] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the drinking bottle has a rotating element, wherein the rotating element is rotatably mounted about a rotating element axis and the mouthpiece can be pivoted from the open position to the closed position and vice versa by rotating the rotating element.

[0033] The rotating element can be manually rotated by a user. The rotating element can be operatively coupled to the mouthpiece in such a way that rotating the element pivots the mouthpiece from the open position to the closed position and vice versa. The rotating element can, in particular, rotate around its axis. The rotating element can be integrated into the drinking bottle or designed as an additional component. If the rotating element is designed as an additional component, it can be attached to or inserted into the drinking bottle. The axis of the rotating element can be arranged parallel, aligned with, or at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle.

[0034] A parallel arrangement can mean that the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle are aligned in the same direction but spaced apart. Alternatively, the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle can be aligned. This means that they have the same orientation and no distance between them. In this configuration, the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle lie on the same straight line. Therefore, the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle can also be described as identical in this configuration. Alternatively, the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle can be arranged at an angle to each other. This could mean, for example, that the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle can be arranged at right angles to each other.It can also be provided that the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle have an angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, preferably between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, relative to each other. It can also be provided that the arrangement of the axis of the rotating element and the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle relative to each other depends on the pivoting of the mouthpiece and can change when the mouthpiece is pivoted.

[0035] Furthermore, the rotating element may be designed as, or include, the locking element. According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the rotating element may have a driver for contacting the mouthpiece, wherein the mouthpiece is moved by the driver from the open position to the closed position and vice versa when the rotating element is turned.

[0036] The driver can be configured as a contact surface on the rotating element. This contact surface can be designed to make contact with the mouthpiece at a suitable contact surface on the mouthpiece. To move the mouthpiece along the rotating element, the contact surface of the rotating element can be brought into contact with the contact surface on the mouthpiece. During this movement, the contact surface of the rotating element can be fixed or variable in its position on the rotating element. A fixed position of the contact surface on the rotating element means that the contact between the mouthpiece and the rotating element remains at the same location on the rotating element during movement. Thus, the mouthpiece contacts the rotating element at a definable point or within a definable area of ​​the rotating element during movement.A variable arrangement of the rotating element's contact surface on the rotating element can be understood to mean that the contact between the mouthpiece and the rotating element can occur at different points on the rotating element as the mouthpiece is moved. The rotating element's contact surface can, for example, move across the rotating element as the mouthpiece is moved. This can be achieved, for instance, by the mouthpiece sliding or rolling over the rotating element. The mouthpiece's contact surface can be arranged on the mouthpiece in a fixed or variable position, just like the rotating element's contact surface. Therefore, the descriptions of the rotating element's contact surface can apply accordingly to the mouthpiece's contact surface and the mouthpiece itself.

[0037] In a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the mouthpiece can be pre-tensioned by a spring element in the closed position and pivoted from the closed to the open position by the spring element. The spring element can be designed such that it is under tension, a so-called pre-tension, when the mouthpiece is in the closed position. The spring element can be tensioned such that it can push or pull the mouthpiece towards the open position. The spring element can also be designed such that it is completely relaxed when the mouthpiece is in the open position. However, it can also be provided that the spring element has a residual tension when the mouthpiece is in the open position, which holds the mouthpiece in the open position.The preload can be a multiple of the residual tension. As already mentioned, the spring element can push the mouthpiece from the closed position to the open position, thus exerting a compressive load on the mouthpiece, or the spring element can pull the mouthpiece from the closed position to the open position, thus exerting a tensile force on the mouthpiece.

[0038] The spring element can be designed, for example, as a leaf spring or a coil spring. In principle, however, any type of bending spring, torsion spring, disc spring, or spring of an alternative spring type can be used.

[0039] Preferably, the spring element can be designed as a single-layer leaf spring, wherein the leaf spring is fixed in a region near the mouthpiece axis of rotation and a free end of the leaf spring extends towards the mouth end.

[0040] In a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the aroma chamber may have a first aroma chamber opening on the aroma transport channel side and a second aroma chamber opening opposite the first aroma chamber opening for drawing in air. The first and second aroma chamber openings may each be permanently or only temporarily open. When open, air can flow through them. In particular, air can flow through them when a user drinks from the drinking bottle, i.e., sucks on the mouthpiece, preferably the mouth end of the mouthpiece. If the first or second aroma chamber opening is closed, the flow of air through is blocked. In a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, several aroma chambers may be provided.

[0041] The multiple aroma chambers can be arranged side by side or one above the other. They can also be modular, meaning that each chamber can be individually loaded with an aroma substance. Alternatively, the multiple aroma chambers can be integral, meaning that they form a single, cohesive component. The multiple aroma chambers can comprise two, preferably three, preferably four, and in particular five or more aroma chambers.

[0042] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the several aroma chambers each have their own or a common first aroma chamber opening and / or each have their own or a common second aroma chamber opening.

[0043] It is therefore possible for the multiple aroma chambers to share a common first aroma chamber opening on the side facing the first aroma chamber opening, and each to have its own separate second aroma chamber opening on the side facing the second aroma chamber opening. Thus, if only one second aroma chamber opening is open while the other second aroma chamber openings are closed, air can flow through only one aroma chamber, namely the one with the open second aroma chamber opening.

[0044] Alternatively, it can be provided that the multiple aroma chambers each have their own first aroma chamber opening on the side facing the first aroma chamber opening, and a common second aroma chamber opening on the side facing the second aroma chamber opening. Thus, if only a single first aroma chamber opening is open, while the other first aroma chamber openings are closed, air can only flow through one aroma chamber, namely the aroma chamber with the open first aroma chamber opening.

[0045] Alternatively, each aroma chamber can have its own first aroma chamber opening and its own second aroma chamber opening, whereby both the first aroma chamber opening and the second aroma chamber opening of the respective aroma chamber must be open in order for air to flow through.

[0046] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the second aroma chamber opening or the second aroma chamber openings, if the mouthpiece is arranged in the closed position, can be closed by the rotating element.

[0047] The rotating element can therefore, provided the mouthpiece is in the closed position, be arranged in such a way that the second aroma chamber opening(s) are closed. These can be closed, for example, by covering the second aroma chamber opening with the rotating element.

[0048] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the drinking bottle has an outer surface on which the rotating element can be arranged and / or the rotating element forms a part of the outer surface, wherein the rotating element is preferably designed as an outer ring or an outer shell.

[0049] The rotating element can therefore be arranged as an additional component on the outside. Alternatively, the rotating element can be designed in such a way that it is an integral part of the outside and thus forms part of it. The rotating element can therefore be mounted on the outside or embedded within it. The rotating element can be ring-shaped or shell-shaped. Furthermore, the rotating element can be a single piece or made of multiple parts. Additionally, the rotating element can be detachable from the rest of the drinking bottle or permanently attached.According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the drinking bottle can be provided with an aroma control element, wherein the aroma control element is rotatably mounted about a control element axis and the aroma transport channel can be blocked by rotating the aroma control element, thereby preventing the flow of aromatized air through the aroma transport channel.

[0050] The aroma control element can be moved into the aroma transport channel by turning it, thereby closing it completely or partially. It can also be designed to close the first aroma chamber opening.

[0051] The aroma control element can be designed so that it is easily accessible and rotatable by the user. The aroma control element can be understood as either simply the part that blocks the aroma transport channel, or the part that can block the aroma transport channel and a part that is accessible to the user.

[0052] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that, depending on a rotation angle of the aroma control element, only one of the several aroma chambers can be connected to the mouth end via the aroma transport channel, while the flow of air through the other aroma chambers is prevented by the aroma control element.

[0053] The aroma control element can be designed to allow the user to select a specific aroma chamber. With the aroma control element, a selected first aroma chamber opening can be opened while simultaneously closing all other first aroma chamber openings. Once an aroma chamber is selected by the user (i.e., opened), air can flow through the corresponding aroma chamber when drinking from the bottle, allowing the user to inhale, smell, or taste the aroma located in the selected chamber. The aroma control element can form a control axis. This axis can be defined by a longitudinal extension and / or a rotation axis of the aroma control element. The control axis can be parallel, aligned, or angled to the rotation axis and / or the longitudinal axis of the drinking bottle.The previous explanations regarding a parallel, aligned or angled arrangement of the mouthpiece axis of rotation to the transport channel axis of rotation are analogously applicable to the parallel, aligned or angled arrangement of the actuating element axis to the rotary element axis or the drinking bottle longitudinal axis.

[0054] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the drinking bottle has a main rotating element which has one or more of the features of claims 7 to 15.

[0055] This can be understood to mean that the main rotating element may exhibit one or all of the characteristics of the rotating element and / or the actuating element. The main rotating element can therefore combine some or all of the characteristics of the rotating element and / or the actuating element in a single element.

[0056] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that the container of the drinking bottle has a container base, with a head section of the drinking bottle being arranged opposite the container base.

[0057] The head section can be understood as a section of the drinking bottle located opposite the container base. This section can be structurally separate from the rest of the container or fully integrated into it. Thus, the head section can be structurally distinct from the container, or it can be integrated into the container. It can also be designed so that the head section comprises a portion of the container.

[0058] The head section can be attached to the container temporarily or permanently. If the head section is permanently attached to the container, it can be connected to the container by positive locking, force locking, and / or a material bond. In the case of a material bond between the head section and the container, the head section can be welded to the container, in particular by spot welding.

[0059] Furthermore, the design may allow the user to operate the drinking bottle primarily at the top section, holding or gripping the container. Operating the drinking bottle may include drinking with the mouth, adjusting the aroma control, and / or operating the rotating mechanism.

[0060] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, it can be provided that a part of the head section is designed like a lid or has a head section opening, wherein the head section opening can be closed with a lid, preferably with a lid having the aroma control element.

[0061] The head section can be designed to be detachable from the container like a lid. Alternatively, the head section can be permanently connected to or integrated into the rest of the drinking bottle. The head section can also have an opening, which can be closed with a lid. This lid can be removable, particularly for filling the bottle. The opening can be of a suitable size for filling the bottle. For example, the opening can have a diameter of at least 20 mm, preferably at least 25 mm, more preferably at least 30 mm, more preferably at least 35 mm, and more preferably at least 40 mm. Furthermore, the opening can have a diameter of no more than 50 mm.

[0062] In a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, the lid can include the rotating element and / or the aroma control element. The lid can therefore have only the rotating element or the aroma control element, or both. The lid, the rotating element, and / or the aroma control element can be formed in one piece or in multiple parts, with the rotating element and / or the aroma control element being designed as a detachable or non-detachable part of the lid.

[0063] According to a further embodiment of a drinking bottle according to the invention, an air hole can be provided, wherein the air hole is arranged in the head section and is permanently open if the mouthpiece is arranged in the open position.

[0064] The air hole can therefore be permanently open. Provided the mouthpiece is in the open position, the air hole can equalize pressure between the inside of the container and an area outside the container. Any pressure difference that might occur when drinking from the bottle can thus be immediately equalized.

[0065] If the mouthpiece is in the closed position, it may be designed to block the air hole. This prevents liquid from leaking out of the container. It is important to note, however, that the air hole itself remains open and is only blocked from the outside, by the mouthpiece or the end of the container.

[0066] The mouthpiece or end of the nozzle may be designed to seal the air hole in a liquid-tight and / or airtight manner. Alternatively, the air hole may be designed to seal only in a liquid-tight manner, thus ensuring a permanent pressure equalization between the interior of the container and the area outside the container. This can be particularly advantageous with heated, cooled, or carbonated liquids.

[0067] In particular, the air vent can be designed so that it does not require user operation, but rather provides a user-friendly and low-maintenance pressure equalization method through its permanent air permeability, which can be provided without any separate user intervention. The air vent also lacks any additional components such as shut-off devices or springs. Therefore, the air vent is wear-resistant and fault-resistant.

[0075] Fig. 8 shows a schematic sectional view of an embodiment of the drinking bottle according to a further embodiment of the invention.

[0076] All figures relate to a drinking bottle according to the invention or embodiments thereof. It should be expressly noted that the features described in the figures and in the accompanying figure description may be further developments of the features and combinations of features specified in the claims. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a drinking bottle 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention in an exploded view in longitudinal section. The drinking bottle 1 comprises the container 2. The container 2 has an outer surface 15 and a container base 17 adjoining the outer surface 15. Opposite the container base 17, a head section 18 of the drinking bottle 1 is arranged. The drinking bottle 1 forms a longitudinal axis L in its longitudinal extent. The rotating element 10 is arranged in the region of the head section 18. The rotating element 10 is designed as an outer ring.The rotating element 10, designed as an outer ring, forms part of the outer surface 15. The rotating element 10 is also recessed into the outer surface 15 in such a way that the outer surface 15 forms a flat surface. The rotating element 10 is rotatably mounted. It is rotatably mounted in a rotating element receptacle 22, and when the rotating element 10 rotates, it slides within the receptacle 22. The rotating element 10 is rotatably mounted about a rotating element axis D. The rotating element axis D and the longitudinal axis L of the drinking bottle are aligned and positioned identically. Therefore, the rotating element axis D and the longitudinal axis L of the drinking bottle can be described as running congruently.

[0077] Furthermore, the head section 18 has a head section opening 19. A drinking liquid can be poured into the container 2 through the head section opening 19. The head section opening 19 can be closed by a lid 20. When the lid 20 is placed on the head section 18 and closes the head section opening 19, it projects partially through the head section opening 19 and partially beyond the head section 18. A lid seal 23 is arranged between the lid 20 and the head section 18. The lid seal 23 is annular in shape. When the lid 20 is placed on the head section 18 to close the head section opening 19, the lid seal 23 is located below the lid 20 and rests on an annular projection 24 arranged in the head section 18, thereby sealing the interior of the container 25 from the outside.The lid 20 is aligned with the longitudinal axis L of the drinking bottle, which runs centrally through the lid 20. The mouthpiece 3 is located in the area of ​​the head section 18. The mouthpiece 3 has a liquid transport channel 4. The liquid transport channel 4 extends from a mouth end 5 of the mouthpiece 3 into the container 2, in particular into the interior of the container 25. In the illustrated embodiment, the liquid transport channel 4 extends in particular to an area near the bottom 17 of the container. The mouthpiece 3 and the liquid transport channel 4 are rigidly connected to each other, in particular rotationally fixed. The mouthpiece 3 is rotatably mounted about a mouthpiece pivot axis M. The liquid transport channel 4 has a transport channel axis T. The transport channel axis T is formed in particular by a part of the liquid transport channel 4 located in the interior of the container 25.The mouthpiece rotation axis M and the transport channel axis T are aligned and positioned identically, and can therefore be described as running identically.

[0078] The mouthpiece rotation axis M and the transport channel axis T are arranged parallel to the rotary element axis D and the drinking bottle longitudinal axis L.

[0079] The drinking bottle 1 also has an aroma transport channel 7, which is arranged in the head section 18. The aroma transport channel 7 extends from an aroma chamber 6 (not shown in Fig. 1) located in the head section 18 to the mouth end 5 of the mouthpiece 3. The aroma transport channel 7 is located partly in the mouthpiece 3, partly in the lid 20, which is placed on the head section 19 and closes the opening 19 of the head section, and partly in the drinking bottle 1, in particular in the head section 19. For a better understanding of the aroma transport channel 7, please refer to the following figure descriptions, which illustrate this with reference to the corresponding figures.

[0080] With regard to Figure 1, it should nevertheless be explained that the aroma transport channel 7 extends from an aroma chamber 6 (not shown in Fig. 1) located in the head section 18 to the mouthpiece end 5 of the mouthpiece 3. Facing the mouthpiece 3, the aroma chamber 6 has a first aroma chamber opening 13 (not shown in Fig. 1), and facing away from the mouthpiece 3, the aroma chamber 6 has a second aroma chamber opening 14. Air can be drawn in from the outside through the second aroma chamber opening 14 and passed through the aroma chamber 6.

[0081] Furthermore, the lid 20 has an aroma control element 16. When placed on the head section 18 and closing the head section opening 19, the lid 20 has a rotatable lid part 26 and a fixed lid part 27. The fixed lid part 27 forms part of the aroma transport channel 7. The rotatable lid part 26 has the aroma control element 16. The aroma control element 16 is rotatable about the control element axis S. The control element axis S is aligned with the rotation element axis D and the longitudinal axis L of the drinking bottle. The aroma control element 16 is designed as a partition that can be inserted or screwed into the aroma transport channel 7 in the area of ​​the lid 20, thereby blocking the aroma transport channel 7. If the aroma control element 16 is not inserted into the aroma transport channel 7 and therefore does not block it, a flow of aromatized air through the aroma transport channel 7 is possible.If several aroma chambers 6 are provided, the aroma control element 16 can prevent the flow of air through one, several, or all of the aroma chambers 6 by blocking or opening an access path to the respective aroma chambers 6. Reference is made in particular to the descriptions in Figures 2 to 4.

[0082] In the illustrated embodiment of the drinking bottle 1, it is provided that when drinking from the drinking bottle 1, the user sucks on the mouthpiece 5 of the mouthpiece 3. The resulting negative pressure draws drinking liquid from the container 2 through the liquid transport channel 4 to the mouthpiece 5. Simultaneously, air is drawn in from the outside through the second aroma chamber opening 14. The drawn-in air is transported through the aroma chamber 6 and enriched with flavoring. The flavored air then exits through the first aroma chamber opening 13 and is transported through the aroma transport channel 7 to the mouthpiece 5 of the mouthpiece 3, from where the user can ingest the flavored air and the drinking liquid. Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the drinking bottle 1 according to Figure 1 in a closed position. The cross-sectional view shows, in particular, a region of the head section 18.Figure 2 shows the ring-shaped rotating element 10 with its outer surface 15. The mouthpiece 3 is pivoted into the closed position and includes the mouth end 5 and the liquid transport channel 4. Figure 2 also shows the aroma transport channel 7, which is divided into a first aroma section 8 and a second aroma section 9. The second aroma section 9 is located in the mouthpiece 3, although only a vertical section of the second aroma section 9 is shown in Figure 2. A horizontal portion of the second aroma section 9, parallel to the portion of the liquid transport channel 4 shown here, is not shown. The first aroma section 9 is located in the head section 18 and in the lid 20, which is placed on the head section 18 and closes the opening 19 of the head section.

[0083] Furthermore, the drinking bottle 1 in Figure 2 has two aroma chambers 6a and 6b. The aroma chambers 6a and 6b are arranged in the head section 18 of the drinking bottle 1. Facing the lid 20, the aroma chambers 6 each have their first aroma chamber openings 13, while on the opposite side, the aroma chambers 6 each have their second aroma chamber openings 14. It is also shown that the aroma control element 16 blocks one access path to aroma chamber 6a, while the access path to aroma chamber 6b is open.

[0084] Because the mouthpiece 3 in Figure 3 is pivoted into the closed position, the first aroma section 8 is separated from the second aroma section 9. Therefore, there is no flow connection between them. Furthermore, the mouthpiece 3 is blocked from pivoting out of the closed position by the rotating element 10. It is also shown that the mouth end 5 is structurally sealed in the closed position by the drinking bottle 1, in particular by part of the head section 18, thus preventing any leakage of liquid. A user is therefore unable to drink from the drinking bottle 1.

[0085] Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the drinking bottle 1 from Figure 2 in an open position. Compared to the representation in Figure 2, the mouthpiece 3 in Figure 3 is shown pivoted into the open position. Figure 3 initially shows all components also shown in Figure 2. In addition, Figure 3 shows an air hole 21. The air hole 21 is designed as a permanently open passage between the container 2, in particular the interior of the container 25, and an area outside the container 2. The air hole 21 allows air from outside the container 2 to flow into or out of the container 2. This enables a permanent pressure equalization between the container 2 and the environment outside the container 2.

[0086] The rotating element 10 is rotated about the rotating element axis D in such a way as shown in Figure 2 that the mouthpiece 3 is no longer blocked against pivoting as shown in Figure 2, but is released for pivoting and could be pivoted from the closed position to the open position about the mouthpiece pivot axis M.

[0087] Figure 3 also shows that the first aroma section 8 and the second aroma section 9 are arranged relative to each other in the open position such that the aroma transport channel 7 is continuous. Thus, the aroma transport channel 7 is no longer interrupted compared to the closed position shown in Figure 2.

[0088] The aroma control element 16 is arranged as already shown in Figure 2 such that the access to the aroma chamber 6a is blocked by it, whereas the access to the aroma chamber 6b is allowed.

[0089] In this arrangement, a user can suck on the mouthpiece end 5 of the mouthpiece 3. This sucking action transports drinking liquid, which is contained in the reservoir 2, through the liquid transport channel 4 to the mouthpiece end 5. Simultaneously, air can be drawn in through the second aroma chamber opening 14. This air can then be drawn into the aroma chamber 6b, where it can be enriched with flavoring. From the aroma chamber 6b, the flavored air can exit through the first aroma chamber opening 13 and enter the aroma transport channel 7. The flavored air first enters the first aroma section 8. There, it can flow to an interface 28. At the interface 28, the first aroma section 8 transitions into the second aroma section 9 of the aroma transport channel 7. The second aroma section 9 is located entirely within the mouthpiece 3.From there, the aromatized air can flow further through the aroma transport channel 7 to the mouth end 5.

[0090] Figure 4 shows a sectional view of the drinking bottle 1 according to Figure 3 in the open position, with the aroma control element 16 arranged in a second position compared to the representation in Figure 3. The representation in Figure 4 differs from the representation in Figure 3 only in that the aroma control element 16 is arranged in a second position, i.e., in a different position compared to the representation in Figure 3.

[0091] Here, the aroma control element 16 is arranged such that the access to the aroma chamber 6a is released, while the access to the aroma chamber 6b is blocked by the aroma control element 16.

[0092] By arranging the aroma control element 16 according to the alternatives shown, among other things, the user can select an aroma chamber 6, or an aroma flavor.

[0093] Figure 5 shows a section of a lateral sectional view of the drinking bottle 1 according to Fig. 1 in the closed position. In particular, a section through the air hole 21 is shown. Here it is shown that the air hole 21 is permanently open, even when the mouthpiece 3 is in the closed position.

[0094] Figure 5 also shows that the mouthpiece 3 has a locking projection 29 on a side facing the bottom of the container 17. In the closed position, the locking projection 29 is located in the area of ​​the air hole 21 and projects partially into it. This allows the mouthpiece 3 to be locked onto the air hole 21. Furthermore, the locking projection 29 is designed to partially cover the air hole 21, thus preventing liquid from leaking out of the container 2. A pivot bearing 30 for the mouthpiece 3 is also shown. The pivot bearing 30 is located on a side of the mouthpiece 3 facing away from the bottom of the container 17. The pivot bearing 30 sits in a pivot bearing socket 31, which is complementary to the pivot bearing 30 and is located in the head section 18. On a part of the mouthpiece 3 opposite the pivot bearing 30, it is fitted into the head section 18, so that the mouthpiece 3 is rotatably mounted in the head section 18 at two points.

[0095] Figure 6 shows a side sectional view of the drinking bottle 1 according to Fig. 1 in the open position, with the aroma transport channel 7 blocked by the aroma control element 16. The aroma control element 16 is therefore screwed into the aroma transport channel 7.

[0096] Furthermore, it has been shown that the first aroma section 8 and the second aroma section 9 of the aroma transport channel 7 are connected at interface 28.

[0097] Figure 7 shows a side sectional view of the drinking bottle 1 according to Figure 6 in the open position, with the aroma transport channel 7 released by the aroma actuator 16. The aroma actuator 16 is thus rotated about the actuator axis S compared to the arrangement shown in Figure 6, such that the aroma transport channel 7 is released. Therefore, when sucking on the mouthpiece 3, air can flow into the aroma chamber 6 through the second aroma chamber opening 14. Furthermore, the aromatized air in the aroma chamber 6 can flow out of the aroma chamber 6 through the first aroma chamber opening 13 and enter the aroma transport channel 7, in particular the first aroma section 8. From the first aroma section 8, the aromatized air can pass through the interface 28 and enter the second aroma section 9 before exiting the mouthpiece 3 from the mouth end 5.

[0098] Figure 8 shows a schematic sectional view of an embodiment of the drinking bottle 1 according to a further embodiment of the invention. The spring element 12 is shown in particular. The spring element 12 is mounted on one side in the head section 18. When the mouthpiece 3 is in the open position, as shown in Figure 8, the spring element 12 is almost relaxed. If, on the other hand, the mouthpiece 3 is pivoted into the closed position, the spring element 12 is bent in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the drinking bottle and thus pre-tensioned.

[0099] If the mouthpiece 3 is now arranged in the closed position and is not blocked against pivoting towards the open position, the spring element 12 can pivot the mouthpiece 3 into the open position due to spring force.

[0100] Furthermore, a driver 11 is shown. The driver 11 is arranged on the rotary element 10. The driver 11 can contact the mouthpiece 3 by rotating the rotary element 10. If the user applies sufficient force while rotating the rotary element, the user can pivot the mouthpiece 3 with the driver 11 into the closed position against a spring force of the spring element 12. As already explained, the mouthpiece 3 is pivoted about the mouthpiece's axis of rotation M. In this process, the spring element 12 is pre-tensioned again. Once the mouthpiece 3 is pivoted into the closed position, the rotary element 10 can be arranged such that it blocks the mouthpiece 3 from pivoting out on its own, caused by the spring force of the spring element 12 acting on the mouthpiece 3. The rotary element 10 is thus designed as a locking element.

[0101] The driver 11 is formed in Figure 8 as an edge of an opening in the rotating element 10. The opening in the rotating element 10 is sufficiently large so that the mouthpiece can protrude through it when pivoting and in the open position. Reference numeral list 1 Drinking bottle
