  • they can be bottles which are intended to contain a liquid mixed by the user as desired.
  • showerheads in powder or tablet form are available.
  • a disadvantage in both cases is that the user is fixed on the concrete beverage mixture for the entire consumption period of the beverage, ie between the beginning and the end of the beverage consumption. That he can no longer change the flavor during beverage consumption, since the liquid still present in the bottle has only the flavor once selected.
  • Incomplete dissolution of conventional effervescent powder may be associated with a less than optimally selected dosage, in particular with too high a concentration of the powder or effervescent tablets.
  • a closure cap preferably a screw cap, shown for attachment to a liquid container, preferably a bottle, more preferably a PET bottle

Partially dissolved dispensing body can be removed again from the bottle with cap. Dosing problems, in particular too high concentrations of flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements in the liquid are avoided.
  • a closure cap for attachment to a liquid container, preferably a bottle, more preferably a PET bottle
  • the closure cap a Spout opening, preferably recloseable spout opening, and comprises a receiving element which forms a common receiving volume with the cap for receiving at least one dispensing body, eg at least one tablet, and the cap is openable, thereby forming an access to the receiving volume to the at least one dispensing body in to be able to bring the receiving volume or to be able to remove from the receiving volume
  • the receiving element is permeable to a liquid to allow contacting the at least one dispensing body with the liquid
  • a cap connected to the closure element is provided, through which the access liquid-tight can be closed or can be released, wherein in the spout opening designed as a hollow body mouthpiece is arranged.
  • the mouthpiece in a closed position, the receiving element liquid-tightly closes, so that no liquid can flow through the receiving element in the receiving volume, and in an open position, the receiving element opens, so that liquid through the receiving element, the receiving volume and the mouthpiece (out of the mouthpiece) can flow.
  • the mouthpiece thus serves, on the one hand, to remove liquid from the closure cap in the open position, and on the other hand, in the closed position, serves to seal the receiving volume and a liquid-soluble dispensing body located therein against the liquid container to which the closure cap is attached.
  • the cap is preferably a screw cap that fits all standard water bottles, or you can with a few different Caps serve the few different standardized bottle thread types.
  • the closure cap is provided with a mouthpiece which closes the spout opening of the closure cap and can be transferred from a closed position or closed position to a release position or opened position, preferably by displacing the mouthpiece.
  • the closure element is a simple and quick way to place a receiving body in the receiving volume or to remove it.
  • the connection guarantees that the closure element can not fall off unintentionally.
  • the closure element can be embodied, for example, as the upper part of the closure cap, which is simply folded away or as a door, which is opened laterally.
  • the various design options have in common that they provide easy and quick access to the receiving volume and thus the dispensing body can be quickly and easily changed, introduced or removed.
  • the opening and especially closing of the closure element are simple, fast and possible without focusing on the process.
  • the mouthpiece on the side which is directed to the receiving element (in particular in the region where the mouthpiece engages in the receiving element), is closed, so that in the closed state of the mouthpiece no liquid through the receiving element in the Mouthpiece can reach, and in another section, with which it protrudes into the receiving volume, at least one opening through which liquid can flow from the receiving volume into the mouthpiece.
  • the mouthpiece can be displaceable relative to the receiving element along a sliding axis.
  • the sliding axis can be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap or the liquid container (the bottle).
  • a baffle may be provided which surrounds the mouthpiece at least partially and which is closer to the receiving element than an opening of the mouthpiece through which liquid from the receiving volume can enter the mouthpiece when the mouthpiece is in the open position.
  • the deflection plate can be arranged, for example, perpendicular to the sliding axis of the mouthpiece.
  • the baffle plate can be executed in the simplest case as a flat plate. In principle, it can project as far as desired into the receiving volume.
  • the dispensing body could come to lie on the baffle.
  • the dispensing body could also be adapted to the shape of the baffle, as well as he will usually be adapted to the shape of the receiving volume.
  • the mouthpiece is arranged at the edge of the receiving volume.
  • the mouthpiece could be moved directly to the lateral surface of the closure cap.
  • the mouthpiece but can be positioned anywhere, such as in the middle of the cap.
  • the receiving element is preferably designed as a flat surface. This represents a particularly simple and thus inexpensive embodiment variant.
  • the receiving element is located entirely in a volume formed by the closure cap.
  • This imaginary surface is actually free of material to connect the cap with the liquid container, preferably to be able to screw. This means that in this case a contact the cap takes place only when the bottle is turned, as the user performs while drinking.
  • the closure element can be pivoted. It has been found that the pivotable closure element is an easy and quick way to place a dispenser body in the receiving volume or to remove it. It is understood by pivoting that the closure element (a part of which, because the closure element remains indeed connected to the cap) detached from the cap and at least partially removed so far that the resulting opening releases access to the receiving volume to a Dispensing body in the receiving volume into or out of this issue. Pivoting therefore means that the closure element can be deflected out of the position closing the access in order, for example, to introduce a dispensing body without the closure element being able to fall off, and then simply being brought back into the position closing the access.
  • the closure element is connected by means of a hinge-like connecting element.
  • the hinge-like connecting element may be a thin web or one or more fixed hinges or a flexible plastic piece or otherwise a suitable element.
  • a hinge not only allows easy access to the receiving volume to be opened but, when closed, provides guidance that allows the user not to have to concentrate on the process of closing since the movement is through the hinges and only the external force is sufficient to close the access properly. The user must thus not pay attention to how he closes the access or that he puts the closure element in a certain way on the other part of the cap.
  • the closure element is designed as part of the lateral surface of the closure cap, wherein it closes the access in the operating position.
  • the closure element can be designed as a flap which can be opened laterally or upwards or downwards.
  • the force required for this purpose is preferably calculated so that, for example, by friction of other objects on the cap in a pocket, the mouthpiece is not opened unintentionally. This fact, however, entails that upwardly opening closure elements can be unintentionally opened upwards by this powerful pull on the mouthpiece, which is prevented in the embodiment variant of the closure element as part of the jacket surface.
  • the closure cap comprises two parts, the first part comprising the thread for attachment to a liquid container and the second part forming the spout opening, and the second part forming the closure element. Due to the two-part design, it is particularly easy to place a dispensing body on the receiving element. It is possible that the transition from the first Part on the second part represents a horizontal division of the cap. In a particularly simple embodiment of the closure cap, the closure cap is designed to be cylindrical in the region of the transition. This represents a simple and therefore inexpensive variant.
  • a particularly simple and comfortable filling of the receiving volume can be realized by the closure cap comprising a pull-out storage element for the dispensing body corresponding to the access and the receiving volume, which storage element can be introduced through the opened access into the receiving volume and placed on the receiving element. That to fill the receiving volume, the storage element is pulled out of the open access, at least one dispensing body is placed in the storage element, and the storage element is then pushed back into the receiving volume via the opened access.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is also that, for example, dispensing body, which have already partially dissolved in the receiving volume, can be easily removed.
  • the second part comprises on its lateral surface a local deformation pointing inward in the radial direction of the closure cap, whereby in the operating position a pressure from the local deformation is exerted on the first part and the two parts are braced against each other.
  • the deformation in the radial direction of the cylindrical receiving volume inwards.
  • the preferred embodiment of the closure element is that it is designed as a slide which is displaceable along the lateral surface of the closure cap.
  • the slider may, for example, be displaceable in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the closure cap or normal to the longitudinal axis in the circumferential direction of the closure cap.
  • the slide can essentially correspond to a rectangular cutout from the lateral surface of the closure cap.
  • the slide is displaceable using a rail relative to the cap.
  • one or more profile rails may be provided in the slide on opposite sides (for example at or near longitudinal edges or transverse edges) per side, which rails run parallel to one another and are guided in depressions of the closure cap with a corresponding profile.
  • provision may be made for the closure cap outside the access to have at least two mutually parallel profiled rails which engage in corresponding recesses of the closure element.
  • the profile of the profile rail in both cases has e.g. a taper, so that the rail normal to its longitudinal extent can not be pulled out of the recess.
  • a closure cap where the slider surrounds the entire circumference of the closure cap.
  • This has the advantage that the slider by its closed shape has a tension against deformations, which allow a good seal of access to the receiving volume.
  • a slider may be formed, for example, as a cylinder jacket.
  • a slider which surrounds the entire circumference of the closure cap can not only be used with closure caps with the mouthpiece according to the invention, but could also be used instead of the slider shown in FIGS. 18-23 of the PCT / EP2013 / 071276 can be used, which surrounds only a portion of the circumference of the cap.
  • the slide When in the closed state, the slide can engage in sealing edges of the closure cap, which run normal to the sliding axis of the slide.
  • the slider can be made of elastic material, so that the slider is slidable over the sealing edges, but closes the access liquid-tight after snapping onto the sealing edges.
  • the sliding axis of the slide and the sliding axis of the mouthpiece can run parallel, they could even be identical.

  • At least one dispensing body is arranged in the receiving volume, it is flowed around by the liquid when drinking and can deliver substances or substances, in particular flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicinal agents, to the liquid. That is, it comes to a mixture with the liquid immediately before the user actually drinks the mixture. Too high Concentration of the desired substances in the liquid can thus be avoided in principle.
  • the water-soluble elements which additionally contributes to the fact that no water-soluble elements can pass through through-openings of the closure cap, these can e.g. be arranged in a sponge, which at least partially fills the dispensing body volume.
  • the dispensing body may comprise a sponge, preferably a plastic sponge. This plastic sponge could be designed so that the liquid can easily reach the water-soluble elements, which can be achieved for example by a sponge fabric of coarsely interwoven fibers.

  • the water-soluble layer is formed here, for example, from a water-soluble glaze, in particular icing, which contributes to the avoidance of chemicals.
  • the time course of the delivery of the substances can be realized by a plurality of balls with different glaze layer thicknesses.
  • Those spheres with the thinnest glaze layer thicknesses are the first to release the substances, while spheres with thicker glaze layer thicknesses still do not release any substances. Only at a later time, for example, when the substances of those spheres with originally thin glaze layer thickness are used up, the spheres of originally thicker glaze layer thickness release the substances stored in them.
  • This may be, for example, the same substances as before, so that a temporally constant concentration of these substances in the liquid is achieved. But there may also be different substances in the balls, so for example, a fruit-flavored drink is first provided and a later an isotonic drink. Athletes will be able to drink different drinks when carrying a single liquid container over time, including an isotonic beverage.

  • the mouthpiece 7 is in Fig. 10 is shown in the open position. In this position, the cap for a liquid that is contained in a bottle to which the cap is attached with its underside is permeable to allow the user to drink from the bottle.
  • the receiving element 8 which is formed here as a flat, liquid-tight surface, has an opening 9 which can be closed by the underside of the mouthpiece 7, so that no liquid can pass through the receiving element 8 in the receiving volume 20.
  • the receiving element 8 contacts the inner wall of the closure cap at least in all points of a circular path.
  • a dispensing body eg, a tablet
  • the closure cap has an access 2 in order to be able to introduce the at least one dispensing body into the receiving volume 20 or to be able to remove it from the receiving volume 20. Access 2 is through the top Opening of the base member 24 is formed, ie by the end facing away from the thread 13 end portion of the base member 24, here a circular opening.
  • the mouthpiece 7 is arranged centrally here, but it could also, as in the Fig. 1-8 be arranged on the edge of the cap.
  • the mouthpiece 7 is otherwise the same as in the Fig. 1-8 provided with two openings 15.
  • the guide 17 in the lower region of the mouthpiece 7 in the Fig. 9-12 designed in one piece with the closure element 23.
  • a baffle 14 could also be provided again. This could be formed annularly and normal to the longitudinal axis 5 following the guide 17.
  • the receiving volume 20 again has a substantially cylindrical shape. It is formed by the receiving element 8, by the shell of the base part and by the top surface 10, which is part of the one-piece closure element 23.
  • the top surface 10 is liquid-tight except for the spout opening 11.
  • the top surface 10 is designed here as a flat layer and also forms a - here substantially cylindrical - guide 19, which surrounds the mouthpiece 7 in its upper region.
  • the closure element 23 In order to insert or remove a dispensing body in the closure cap, the closure element 23 must be unscrewed from the base part 24, so that the receiving volume 20 is accessible because of the now missing top surface 10.
  • the cap can be screwed by means of thread 13 on a liquid container.
  • closure element 23 may additionally be fastened to the base part 24, for example by means of a band.
