Abstract
The present invention relates to a skin channel multi connected bottle/receptacle system which allows two or more bottles/receptacles 9, 15 of any size or shape to be connected top to bottom with the top bottle/receptacle having a channel or tube 7 along, or attached to, or integrated into its body with top and bottom openings. The bottom opening of the channel at the top bottle/receptacle allows content to flow from the bottom bottle/receptacle separately through the channel or tube of the top bottle/receptacle and out of the system through a spout 3 at a cap 1, while the content of the top bottle flows out through a separate opening or spout 2 directly above the top bottle. The user has control of which content flows out of the top or bottom bottle/receptacle and can achieve this by simply capping the undesired opening/spout or sucking the desired opening/spout.
Description
TITLE
Skin Channel Multi Connected Bottle/Receptacle System
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
This present invention relates to two or more bottles/receptacles stacked one above the other having two or more openings at the top bottle/receptacle with a first opening that allows fluid to flow from the upper bottle/receptacle and with a vertical channel integrated along the height of the body of the upper bottle/receptacle which allows fluid to flow from the bottom bottle through the channel to the top by simply tilting the bottle, allowing the user to consume entire content with ease from both bottles/receptacles with no suction required. Bottles/receptacles usually come in single standalone or in limited instances where they are stacked one upon the other, have tubes attached requiring a suction action to consume content of the lower receptacle.
However, the use of single standalone bottle/receptacle or stacked units with freestanding tube limits the user's choices of content as well as discomfort experienced while sucking the tube in an attempt to consume the content of the lower bottle/receptacle, also compounded by the complexity of detachable free standing tubes usually designed to consume bottom bottle content. This means that two separate bottles/receptacles would have to be purchased to have two different types of drink/substance if variety is desired or in the rare event of a stacked bottle being used, suction tubes have to be employed to consume contents of bottom bottle/receptacle.
By purchasing two separate standalone bottles/receptacles to satisfy a desire for variety, the user is forced to increase the total volume of liquid or non-liquid to be consumed beyond the intended limit which, if not water, could be harmful to health if its content includes large amounts of sugar, salt etc. Also, by being limited to one drink type per purchase, the consumer loses the power of simultaneous choice to satisfy a desire for variety and the ability to switch drinks and consume with ease per purchase. These highlight limiting choice and convenience implications important for consumers who seek to retain power of simultaneous choices.
STATEMENT OF INVENTION
The present invention seeks to provide a solution to these problems by providing a two or more bottle/receptacle which is interconnected and stacked one above the other, having two or more spout/openings at the cap of bottle/receptacle in such a manner that allows the first spout/opening at the cap to be an exit or entry route for fluid to flow from the upper bottle/receptacle with no tube involved. The bottom bottle comes as a stand-alone. However, when connected to the top bottle/receptacle, it allows fluid to flow from the bottom bottle/receptacle through a vertical channel integrated along the height of the body of the top bottle/receptacle, through to the second spout/opening at the cap which is an exit or entry route for fluid from the bottom bottle/receptacle. This allows the user to drink from both top and bottom bottles by simply tilting the bottle making it easy to consume entire content from both bottles/receptacles with no suction required.
INTRODUCTION TO THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
LIST OF FIGURES
The invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a hollow cap 1 for holding down the disc or cover material bearing the two spouts/openings 2 and 3 as a component of the cover for the top bottle/receptacle 9,a disc or cover material 4 bearing the two spouts/opening 2 and 3 as a component of the cover for the top bottle/receptacle 9, an opening for pouring in content 6, a channel 7 along the height and body of the top bottle/receptacle with opening at its bottom 11 and top 5, a bottom 10 to hold content for the top bottle/receptacle 9, a neck 8 for the top bottle/receptacle 9 to receive cover 1 and 4 which fastens to neck 8 by screwing, clipping, or friction mechanism. It also shows the bottom bottle/receptacle 15 which has a bottom 16 to hold content within the bottom bottle/receptacle 15 and a top opening 13, a top inner or outer surface 12 fastens to bottom lower surface of top bottle/receptacle 12 by screwing, clipping, or friction mechanism, caps 17 and 20 for capping opening/spouts 2 and 3.
Figure 2 shows a plan view cross section of the top bottle/receptacle 9, the points 18 where the vertical surfaces 19 that form the channel 7 make contact with the body of the top bottle/receptacle 9.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In Figure 1, the hollow cap 1 fastens the disc or cover material 4 to the top of the bottles by screwing, clipping, or friction mechanisms allowing the two spouts/opening 2 and 3 to project through the hollow of the hollow cap 1. This seals the opening for pouring in content 6 of top bottle/receptacle 9 while allowing the spout opening Sat top end of the channel 7 to be inserted underneath the cover spout/opening 3 forming a fluid tight concentric connection. This fluid tight or air tight connected spouts 3 and 5 at the point where 5 is inserted into 3 is such that fluid is able to flow from the bottom bottle/receptacle 15 through the channel 7 and connected spouts 3 and when tilted.
The top bottle/receptacle 9 is a standalone container by itself with a bottom 10 able to hold liquid or other content separate from the bottom bottle/receptacle 15. The bottom bottle/receptacle 15 is also a standalone container by itself with a bottom 16 able to hold liquid or other content separate from the top bottle/receptacle 9. Both the top and bottom bottle/receptacle are open at the top respectively 6 and 13 and though separate can be connected by screwing, clipping, or friction mechanisms. During the connection, the top of the bottom bottle/receptacle 14 is attached to the bottom of the top bottle/receptacle 12 in a fluid tight or air tight manner leaving the channel 7 of the top bottle/receptacle 9 as the only escape for fluid then the connected bottles/receptacles are tilted. When both top and bottom bottles/receptacles are connected and tilted, the contents of the bottom bottle bottle/receptacle flows out through the channel 7and out of the spout/opening 3 only, as long as the spout/opening 2 is capped with cap 17. Also when both top and bottom bottles/receptacles are connected and tilted, the contents of the top bottle bottle/receptacle flows out through the spout/opening 2 only, as long as the spout/opening 3 is capped with cap 20.
In Figure 2, a plan view cross section of the top bottle/receptacle 9, further describes figure 1 by showing the relationship between the channel 7 and the top bottle/receptacle 9 through which the content of the bottom bottle/receptacle 15 flows. This channel 7 is attached to the body of the top bottle/receptacle 9 at points 18 where the vertical surfaces 19 that form the channel 7 make contact with the body of the top bottle/receptacle 9 to create efficiency of use.
