Abstract
The refillable drinking vessel comprises a bottle, a bottle fitting structure, a base plate, and a fluid control structure. The base plate forms a fluidic connection between the bottle fitting structure and a pressurized fluid source. The bottle fitting structure forms a fluidic connection between the bottle and the base plate. The fluid control structure automatically controls the flow of fluid from the pressurized fluid source through the base plate and the bottle fitting structure into the bottle. The fluid control structure senses when the bottle is near the base plate. The fluid control structure measures and controls the amount of fluid contained in the bottle.
Claims15
A refillable drinking vessel comprising
- a bottle fitting structure, a base plate, and a fluid control structure;
- wherein the base plate forms a fluidic connection between the bottle fitting structure and a pressurized fluid source;
- wherein the bottle fitting structure forms a fluidic connection between the bottle and the base plate;
- wherein the fluid control structure automatically controls the flow of fluid from the pressurized fluid source through the base plate and the bottle fitting structure into the bottle;
- wherein a form factor of the base plate is formed such that the base plate inserts into a base plate cover when the bottle fitting structure attaches to the base plate;
- wherein the bottle fitting structure comprises a base plate cover, a bottle intake fitting, and an RFID tracking tag;
- wherein the bottle intake fitting is a fitting;
- wherein the base plate cover is formed from a magnetic material;
- wherein the bottle intake fitting physically connects to a silicone fitting of the base plate to form a fluidic connection with the base plate;
- wherein the bottle intake fitting forms a fluid impermeable connection with the silicone fitting;
- wherein the bottle intake fitting transports the pressurized fluid received from the base plate into the flask.
