Abstract
The present invention relates to a transiently-extant drink bottle. The drink bottle is formed from joining two separate closed internal compartments, each compartment capable of holding a unique drinking fluid. Joining of the compartments allows for greater consumer choice in beverage selection as well as cooling of one beverage through its non-contact proximity to a frozen beverage. The transient nature of the proximity of closed internal compartments allows for multiple use and combination of drinking fluids.
Claims20
A closable fluid holding compartment having a joining face on the exterior of the compartment, the joining face having at least one protrusion and at least one indentation for joining to a complementary joining face of another closable fluid holding compartment.
A method of cooling a fluid in a first fluid holding container, comprising:
- freezing the contents of a second fluid holding container;
- and,
- joining the second fluid holding container to the first fluid holding container via a complementary attachment on each of the first and second fluid holding containers, whereby the frozen contents of the second fluid holding container provides proximity cooling to the fluid in the first fluid holding container.
A transiently-extant plastic drink bottle, comprising:
- a first closable fluid holding compartment having a first joining face on the exterior of the first compartment, the first joining face having at least one protrusion and at least one indentation;
- and a second closable fluid holding compartment having a second joining face on the exterior of the second compartment, the second joining face having at least one indentation and at least one protrusion complementary to the respective at least one protrusion and at least one indentation of the first joining face, the second compartment being joined to the first compartment by the first and second joining faces, wherein on the first joining face the at least one protrusion is symmetrical to the at least one indentation, and on the second joining face the at least one indentation is symmetrical to the at least one protrusion.
