Abstract
A water bottle system for adding an additive, which may be flavoring, to the line of flow without contaminating the main reservoir. The system may include a water bottle with a lid feature that may maintain a flavor that may be infused into the water within the water bottle. The infusion of the additive may be adjusted by a user to have the desired concentration of additive to a user's liking. The additive cartridge may be reusable or disposable depending on a user's preference.
Claims33
A water bottle system for adding an additive to a substance comprising:
- a reservoir for maintaining a substance;
- a lid configured to engage the reservoir;
- and
- an assembly within the lid for adding an additive to the substance in a line of flow, the assembly comprising:
- a cartridge with additive, the cartridge being configured for addition of additive to the cartridge and to hold the additive without leaking after being used to provide additive to the line of flow, wherein the cartridge includes a valve or an opening with a removable lid to receive the additive into the cartridge;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an amount of additive added from the cartridge to the line of flow.
A water bottle assembly for adding an additive to a substance comprising:
- a vessel with a first liquid;
- a lid engagable with the vessel;
- and
- an assembly for adding a second liquid to a line of flow, wherein the line of flow is a line of flow of the first liquid from the vessel to a spout at a top of the lid, the assembly comprising:
- a cartridge assembly holding the second liquid, the cartridge assembly being configured for addition of the second liquid to the cartridge assembly and holding the second liquid without leaking after being used to provide the second liquid to the line of flow;
- an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an amount of the second liquid added to the line of flow of the first liquid;
- and
- a mixing chamber fluidly coupled to the line of flow in which the first liquid and the second liquid are mixed.
A method of infusing a first liquid with a second liquid in a water bottle assembly comprising:
- providing a first liquid in a reservoir;
- engaging a lid with the reservoir, wherein the lid comprises a cartridge assembly including a cartridge holding an additive liquid;
- adding a first portion of the additive liquid to the cartridge of the cartridge assembly and holding the first portion of the additive liquid in the cartridge without leaking after providing a second portion of the additive liquid from the cartridge for mixing with the first liquid;
- manipulating a dial to adjust an amount of the first portion of the additive liquid to be introduced into a line of flow of the first liquid;
- and
- mixing the first portion of the additive liquid with the first liquid in the line of flow of the first liquid from the reservoir.
A water bottle assembly for adding an additive to a substance comprising:
- a vessel with a first liquid;
- a lid engagable with the vessel;
- and
- an assembly for adding a second liquid to a line of flow, the assembly comprising:
- a cartridge assembly holding the second liquid, the cartridge assembly being configured for addition of the second liquid to the cartridge assembly and holding the second liquid without leaking after being used to provide the second liquid to the line of flow;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an amount of the second liquid added to the line of flow of the first liquid,
- wherein the first liquid is a drinkable liquid, wherein the line of flow is a line of flow of the drinkable liquid from the vessel to a spout at a top of the lid, and the assembly for adding is configured to provide the second liquid to the line of flow in response to flow of the drinkable liquid along the line of flow.
