Abstract
A bottle including a body portion having a plurality of dividing walls extending from a base portion to a plurality of connection regions; a first chamber for holding a first liquid; a second chamber for holding a second liquid; a third chamber for holding a third liquid; and a removable cap; wherein a height of the plurality of dividing walls is less than an overall height of the body portion and the plurality of connection regions are configured to be a maximum height of the plurality of dividing walls.
Claims21
A drinking bottle for dispensing a plurality of liquids, the thinking bottle comprising:
- a body portion;
- a first circular chamber for holding a first liquid;
- a second circular chamber for holding a second liquid;
- a third circular chamber for holding a third liquid, the first, second, and third circular chambers disposed within the body portion such that only a portion of a sidewall of each chamber abuts a portion of a sidewall of the other chambers;
- and
- a removable and rotatable cap having a single fixed orifice non-centrally disposed on an outer surface thereon, the removable and rotatable cap configured to be removably connected directly on top surfaces of the first, second, and third chambers, without intermediate components therebetween, such that the single fixed orifice is configured to swivel in conjunction with rotation of the cap to facilitate alignment of the single fixed orifice with one of three openings defined on a bottom portion of the removable and rotatable cap, the three openings configured to be flush with the top surfaces of the first, second, and third chambers;
- wherein the first, second, and third liquids are selectively dispensed from the first, second, and third chambers, respectively, upon compression of the sidewalls of the first, second, and third chambers, respectively;
- and
- wherein outer surfaces of the first, second, and third circular chambers are configured and dimensioned to create a central gap region within the body portion and between central non-abutting portions of the outer surfaces of the first, second, and third circular chambers, the central gap region being devoid of the plurality of liquids.

A method for manufacturing a drinking bottle for dispensing a plurality of liquids, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a body portion;
- forming a first circular chamber for holding a first liquid;
- forming a second circular chamber for holding second liquid;
- forming a third circular chamber for holding a third liquid, the first, second, and third circular chambers disposed within the body portion such that only a portion of a sidewall of each chamber abuts a portion of a sidewall of the other chambers;
- and
- forming a removable and rotatable cap having a single fixed orifice non-centrally disposed on an outer surface thereon, the removable and rotatable cap configured to be removably connected directly on top surfaces of the first, second, and third chambers, without intermediate components therebetween, such that the single fixed orifice is configured to swivel in conjunction with rotation of the cap to facilitate alignment of the single fixed orifice with one of three openings defined on a bottom portion of the removable and rotatable cap, the three openings configured to be flush with the top surfaces of the first, second, and third chambers;
- wherein the first, second, and third liquids are selectively dispensed from the first, second, and third chambers, respectively, upon compression of the sidewalls of the first, second, and third chambers, respectively;
- and
- wherein outer surfaces of the first, second, and third circular chambers are configured and dimensioned to create a central gap region within the body portion and between central non-abutting portions of the outer surfaces of the first, second, and third circular chambers, the central gap region being devoid of the plurality of liquids.
