Abstract
A bottle, a system and a method sterilize a liquid. The bottle has an interior to hold the liquid and an ultraviolet light emitting lamp that extends into the interior. A cord may be attached to the bottle so that pulling the cord may power the ultraviolet light emitting lamp and/or charge a battery used to power the ultraviolet light emitting lamp. The bottle may have a status light that indicates that the ultraviolet light emitting lamp may have an amount of power equal to or greater than a threshold value, such as, for example, an amount of power necessary for the ultraviolet light emitting lamp to operate for ninety seconds. The bottle may have a removable lid located opposite to the ultraviolet light emitting lamp.
Claims14
A system for sterilizing a liquid for a user, the system comprising:
- a bottle that has an interior that holds the liquid wherein the bottle has a first opening;
- a lamp connected to the bottle wherein the lamp extends into the interior of the bottle from a position located opposite to the first opening;
- and
- a crank connected to the bottle that rotates relative to the bottle wherein rotation of the crank generates energy used by the lamp to emit ultraviolet light into the interior of the bottle.
A method for sterilizing a liquid for a user, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing the liquid in an interior of a bottle through an opening;
- connecting a lid to the bottle having the liquid wherein the lid covers the opening;
- rotating a crank connected to the bottle to generate energy;
- and
- emitting ultraviolet light into the interior of the bottle using the energy wherein the ultraviolet light is emitted by a lamp which is connected to the bottle and extends into the interior of the bottle from a position located opposite to the opening.
