Fluid timer

A fluid timer configured to receive fluid therein when the fluid timer is in a first orientation and to emit fluid along a timer vertical axis during a pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in a second, reversed orientation, the fluid timer comprising:

• an outer vessel having an outer vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, being configured for holding fluid within the outer vessel interior in the first orientation of the fluid timer;
• and
• an inner vessel at least partially disposed within and surrounded by the outer vessel interior, the inner vessel having an inner vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, the inner vessel being formed with one or more ingress ports closer to the bottom than to the top, by means of which the outer and inner vessels are configured to function as communicating vessels to allow filling of the inner vessel with fluid, in the first orientation of the fluid timer, by allowing fluid from the outer vessel to enter the inner vessel through said ingress ports;
• the inner vessel being further formed with at least one egress port configured to allow the fluid to be emitted therethrough from the inner vessel interior during said pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in the second, reversed orientation,
• wherein said outer vessel has an inner surface defining an interior thereof and the inner vessel bottom comprises bottom portions extending in a direction away from the inner vessel interior and connected to the inner surface of the outer vessel at an area thereof adjacent to the bottom so as to hold the inner vessel within the outer vessel interior, the bottom portions being spaced from each other by gaps constituting the ingress ports.

A fluid timer configured to receive fluid therein when the fluid timer is in a first orientation and to emit fluid along a timer vertical axis during a pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in a second, reversed orientation, the fluid timer comprising:

• an outer vessel having an outer vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, being configured for holding fluid within the outer vessel interior in the first orientation of the fluid timer;
• and
• an inner vessel at least partially disposed within and surrounded by the outer vessel interior, the inner vessel having an inner vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, the inner vessel being formed with one or more ingress ports closer to the bottom than to the top, by means of which the outer and inner vessels are configured to function as communicating vessels to allow filling of the inner vessel with fluid, in the first orientation of the fluid timer, by allowing fluid from the outer vessel to enter the inner vessel through said ingress ports;
• the inner vessel being further formed with at least one egress port configured to allow the fluid to be emitted therethrough from the inner vessel interior during said pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in the second, reversed orientation,
• wherein at least the outer and inner vessels together are in the form of a unitary body,
• wherein the fluid timer further comprises at least one complementary component assembled with the unitary body to allow a functionality thereof, and
• wherein the outer vessel is formed with an opening at the outer vessel bottom, the opening having a configuration corresponding to that of the bottom of the inner vessel, and a cover configured to be securely and sealingly received within the opening to fully close the opening.

A fluid timer configured to receive fluid therein when the fluid timer is in a first orientation and to emit fluid along a timer vertical axis during a pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in a second, reversed orientation, the fluid timer comprising:

• an outer vessel having an outer vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, being configured for holding fluid within the outer vessel interior in the first orientation of the fluid timer;
• and
• an inner vessel at least partially disposed within and surrounded by the outer vessel interior, the inner vessel having an inner vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, the inner vessel being formed with one or more ingress ports closer to the bottom than to the top, by means of which the outer and inner vessels are configured to function as communicating vessels to allow filling of the inner vessel with fluid, in the first orientation of the fluid timer, by allowing fluid from the outer vessel to enter the inner vessel through said ingress ports;
• the inner vessel being further formed with at least one egress port configured to allow the fluid to be emitted therethrough from the inner vessel interior during said pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in the second, reversed orientation,
• wherein said fluid timer is in the form of a bottle cap for use with a bottle.

A bottle cap for use with a bottle having a throat including an outer surface with a threading, an inner surface and an end rim, the bottle cap being in the form of the fluid timer configured to receive fluid therein when the fluid timer is in a first orientation and to emit fluid along a timer vertical axis during a pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in a second, reversed orientation, the fluid timer comprising:

• an outer vessel having an outer vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, being configured for holding fluid within the outer vessel interior in the first orientation of the fluid timer;
• and
• an inner vessel at least partially disposed within and surrounded by the outer vessel interior, the inner vessel having an inner vessel interior extending between a top thereof and a bottom thereof along said timer vertical axis, the inner vessel being formed with one or more ingress ports closer to the bottom than to the top, by means of which the outer and inner vessels are configured to function as communicating vessels to allow filling of the inner vessel with fluid, in the first orientation of the fluid timer, by allowing fluid from the outer vessel to enter the inner vessel through said ingress ports;
• the inner vessel being further formed with at least one egress port configured to allow the fluid to be emitted therethrough from the inner vessel interior during said pre-determined time when the fluid timer is in the second, reversed orientation,
• wherein the outer vessel has threading on an inner surface defining the outer vessel interior, the threading corresponding to, and engageable with, that on the bottle throat.
