Abstract
A liquid container includes a casing, at least two inner bottles for containing liquids, at least one pumping unit, a turnable selecting mechanism, and a top cover. The inner bottles are received in the casing and covered by the top cover. The selecting mechanism is operated to select one of the inner bottles to be pumped, and then the pumping unit is operated to pump out the liquid contained in the selected inner bottle through an outlet located on the top cover. Not only weight and volume for carrying these liquids can be decreased, but also convenience for accessing these liquids is improved by using the aforesaid liquid container.

- at least one pumping unit, connected with the at least two inner bottles;
- wherein, when the at least one pumping unit is driven, a pumping force is generated to the liquid contained in one of the at least two inner bottles so as to pump out the liquid to the output tube through the dip tube of the draft tube assembly;
- a turnable selecting mechanism, rotationally assembled to the casing, co-moved with the at least one pumping unit;
- wherein, when the selecting mechanism is rotated, an action end of the selecting mechanism is turned to one of the at least two inner bottles, and this inner bottle corresponding to the action end is the aforesaid inner bottle to be pumped by the at least one pumping unit;
- and
- a top cover, engaged onto the sidewall of the casing, further including a liquid outlet thereon at a location respective to a tube opening of the output tube of the draft tube assembly for the inner bottle at least corresponding to the action end;
- wherein a number of the at least one pumping unit is equal to that of the at least two inner bottles, and each of the at least one pumping unit is located between the dip tube and the output tube of the draft tube assembly of the inner bottle;
- wherein, when the pumping unit is depressed, the pumping force is provided to the liquid of the respective inner bottle;
- wherein the selecting mechanism sleeves the at least one pumping unit and is co-moved with the top cover, and the top cover is rotationally assembled onto the sidewall of the casing;
- wherein, when the top cover is turned, the selecting mechanism is driven to rotate the action end to select one of the inner bottles;
- wherein the tube openings of the individual output tubes of the respective draft tube assemblies are located at different positions at the top cover, but the tube openings are largely located at the same level, and the liquid outlet is located at the top cover by being close to the sidewall and in correspondence with one of the tube openings.
A liquid container, comprising:
- a casing, including a bottom cover, an annular sidewall located above the bottom cover, an opening located at the sidewall by opposing to the bottom cover, and a bottle-accommodating space located between the bottom cover and the sidewall;
- at least two inner bottles, removably located in the bottle-accommodating space;
- each of the at least two inner bottles including an inner space for accommodating a liquid, and a draft tube assembly;
- the draft tube assembly including a dip tube extending into the inner space by being close to an in-bottle bottom of the respective inner bottle, and an output tube connecting the dip tube by extending upward away the inner bottle from the inner space to a preset position out of the opening of the casing;
- at least one pumping unit, connected with the at least two inner bottles;
- wherein, when the at least one pumping unit is driven, a pumping force is generated to the liquid contained in one of the at least two inner bottles so as to pump out the liquid to the output tube through the dip tube of the draft tube assembly;
- a turnable selecting mechanism, rotationally assembled to the casing, co-moved with the at least one pumping unit;
- wherein, when the selecting mechanism is rotated, an action end of the selecting mechanism is turned to one of the at least two inner bottles, and this inner bottle corresponding to the action end is the aforesaid inner bottle to be pumped by the at least one pumping unit;
- and
- a top cover, engaged onto the sidewall of the casing, further including a liquid outlet thereon at a location respective to a tube opening of the output tube of the draft tube assembly for the inner bottle at least corresponding to the action end;
- wherein an installation groove is located at the sidewall of the casing, and a mirror is inserted in the installation groove in a draw-able manner;
- wherein at least one pivotal door and at least one installation opening are located at the sidewall of the casing, a number of the at least one installation opening is equal to that of the at least one pivotal door, at least one accommodation space is located behind the pivotal door, the pivotal door pivotally connected to a lateral side of the installation opening is to close or open the installation opening, and the accommodation space is located within the installation opening when the pivotal door is close;
- wherein at least one drawer and at least one installation cave are located at the sidewall of the casing, a number of the at least on installation cave is equal to that of the at least one drawer, each of the at least one drawer is furnished with an accommodation space located therebehind, each of the at least one drawer is close or opened within the respective installation cave, and the accommodation space is retrieved into the respective installation cave when the drawer is close.
A liquid container, comprising:
- a casing, including a bottom cover, an annular sidewall located above the bottom cover, an opening located at the sidewall by opposing to the bottom cover, and a bottle-accommodating space located between the bottom cover and the sidewall;
- at least two inner bottles, removably located in the bottle-accommodating space;
- each of the at least two inner bottles including an inner space for accommodating a liquid, and a draft tube assembly;
- the draft tube assembly including a dip tube extending into the inner space by being close to an in-bottle bottom of the respective inner bottle, and an output tube connecting the dip tube by extending upward away the inner bottle from the inner space to a preset position out of the opening of the casing;
- at least one pumping unit, connected with the at least two inner bottles;
- wherein, when the at least one pumping unit is driven, a pumping force is generated to the liquid contained in one of the at least two inner bottles so as to pump out the liquid to the output tube through the dip tube of the draft tube assembly;
