Drink Bottle Head Stand and Storage Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing reusable drinking bottles face challenges in cleaning due to small closure openings and lack of utility for the unscrewed bottle head, which often results in inefficient cleaning processes and no additional use for the unscrewed component.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a bottle cap that can be screwed onto a spout on the bottle head, allowing the unscrewed bottle head to be stored or used as a stand, with a negative shape on the bottle base to accommodate the head and prevent simultaneous unscrewing of the bottle head and body threads, enabling the bottle head to be used as a stable base for the bottle when used as a drinking cup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the bottle head is made detachable for cleaning purposes, then cleaning accessibility is improved, but the bottle head becomes a separate component with no additional use when removed
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle head is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a closure for the bottle when attached, and as a standalone drinking cup when detached. The spout structure allows it to function as both a bottle cap and a separate drinking vessel, eliminating waste and providing versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The bottle head can be stored within the bottle body when not in use as a standalone cup. The bottle head fits into the bottle body's interior space, allowing compact storage and transport without requiring additional containers or space.
2Reliability
If the bottle cap is made to screw onto the bottle head, then sealing is improved, but simultaneous unscrewing of the bottle head and body threads may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle head's thread engagement with the bottle body is established before the bottle cap is screwed on. This preliminary threading ensures that the head is securely attached and positioned correctly before the cap provides additional sealing, preventing simultaneous unscrewing during closure.
3Weight of moving object
If the closure opening is made small for portability, then portability is improved, but cleaning accessibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle is divided into separable components: the bottle head can be completely detached from the bottle body. This segmentation allows the larger bottle body to maintain a small closure opening for portability, while the detached bottle head provides full access to the interior for thorough cleaning of both components.

AI summary
The invention relates to a drinking bottle comprising a bottle body (1) with a bottle base (7) arranged at the bottom, a bottle head adjoining the bottle body (1) upwards, wherein the bottle head (2) is screwed to the bottle body (1) by means of a threaded pairing (4), and a bottle closure (3) arranged on the bottle head (2) which can be screwed to a nozzle of the bottle head (2), wherein the bottle closure (3) and the nozzle alone do not project beyond the upper section of the bottle head (2) and the upper section of the bottle head (2) has a flat surface (6) which, when rotated by 180°, gives the bottle head (2) stability when placed on a base, or the bottle body (1) has a container (13) on its bottom side which can be screwed or attached to the bottle body (1) and whose size is such that the bottle head (2) fits into the container (13) screwed or attached to the bottle body (1).
