Abstract
The tumbler bottle includes a cup having a side wall interior surface and bottom wall a convex interior surface. The cup side wall and bottom wall interior surfaces are joined by a smooth, arcuate interior transition surface to define a first mixing chamber. The tumbler bottle further includes a lid, removably connected with the cup. The lid includes a side wall interior surface and a top wall concave interior surface. The lid side wall and top wall interior surfaces are joined by a smooth, arcuate interior transition surface to define a second mixing chamber. The lid further includes a dispensing outlet and a closure. When coupled together the first mixing chamber and the second mixing chamber are in fluid communication and are configured to uniformly mix a liquid with one or more additives.
Claims20
A tumbler bottle, comprising:
- a) a cup having a side wall interior surface and a convex bottom wall interior surface defining a first mixing chamber, said interior surfaces of said cup side and bottom walls being smooth and connected by a smooth transition surface, said cup further including a side wall exterior surface and a bottom wall exterior surface, said bottom wall exterior surface being substantially flat;
- b) a lid removably connected with said cup and including:
- i) a side wall interior surface and a concave top wall interior surface defining a second mixing chamber, said second mixing chamber communicating with said first mixing chamber when said lid is connected with said cup, said interior surfaces of lid side and top walls being smooth and connected by a smooth transition surface;
- ii) at least a portion of one of said lid side wall and said lid top wall including a through opening configured for dispensing contents from the tumbler bottle;
- iii) a platform arranged on an exterior surface of said lid top wall, said platform being adjacent to said through opening, said platform including an integral track and a plurality of notches;
- and
- iv) a closure connected to said platform and configured for sliding movement relative to said through opening, wherein a lower surface of said closure includes a cavity having a channel configured for receiving said track and a resilient detent arranged in spaced relation within said cavity, said detent configured for cooperating with said notches to lock said closure in a selected position along said platform.
A tumbler bottle, comprising:
- a) a cup having a side wall interior surface and a bottom wall interior surface having a hemispherical configuration defining a first mixing chamber, said interior surfaces of said cup side and bottom walls being smooth and connected by a smooth transition surface, said cup further including a side wall exterior surface and a bottom wall exterior surface, said bottom wall exterior surface being configured for maintaining said cup in an upright configuration, and
- b) a lid removably connected with said cup and including:
- i) a side wall interior surface and a top wall interior surface having a hemispherical configuration defining a second mixing chamber, said second mixing chamber communicating with said first mixing chamber when said lid is connected with said cup, said interior surfaces of lid side and top walls being smooth and connected by a smooth transition surface;
- ii) at least a portion of one of said lid side wall and said lid top wall including a through opening configured for dispensing contents from the unitary chamber;
- and
- iii) a closure for said through opening;
- wherein when said lid is connected with said cup, said lid top wall inner surface, said cup bottom wall inner surface, and said lid and cup side wall inner surfaces define an inner chamber having a capsule configuration being one of an ellipsoidal or spherical shape, the connection between said cup and said lid having a smooth interior transition surface.
