Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of beverage containers, in particular to a beverage container and a flavoring box.
- the flavor of a beverage depends on its odor and taste, and the human tongue can taste five different flavors (sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and fresh), while the odor determines 80% of the taste. This also explains why we always cannot taste anything when we have a cold and a stuffy nose. To this end, it is necessary to design a beverage container that gives people the illusion of drinking juice while drinking water, thereby enhancing their desire to drink healthy boiled water.
- the present invention provides a beverage container and a flavoring box to address the problem of people having a low desire to drink pure water, but facing the harm to the body from the long-term consumption of beverages.
- the beverage container and a flavoring box comprising:
- a container main body for accommodating a beverage
- a straw which is mounted on a mouth and neck portion of the container main body or sucking out the accommodated beverage
- a hollow annular flavoring box which is used for accommodating flavorings and supplying the flavorings to the straw, and which is provided with a central hole part through which the straw passes.
- the straw and flavoring box are installed at the opening part of the container main body, which are detachable and have an mounting portion with a rotating mechanism that can rotate the flavoring box.

- the embodiment of the present invention provides a beverage container 10 , comprising a container main body 11 , a straw 12 , and a flavoring box 13 .
- the container main body 11 is used to accommodate the beverage
- the straw 12 is mounted at the neck portion 11 a of the container main body 11 to suck out the beverage accommodated.
- the hollow annular flavoring box 13 is used to accommodate and supply the flavoring to the straw 12 which passes through the central hole part 13 a of the flavoring box 13 .
- the arrangement of a flavoring box makes it possible to mix favorite flavorings into the beverage accommodated, providing the easy enjoyment of various flavored beverage.
- the embodiment of the present invention provides a beverage container 20 which, from top to bottom, is composed of a cover 25 , a flavoring box 23 , a straw portion 22 , an installation portion 24 , and a container main body 21 .
- the flavoring box 23 is mounted on the straw portion 22
- the straw portion 22 with the flavoring box 23 is mounted on the mounting portion 24 .
- the mounting portion 24 with the flavoring box 23 and straw portion 22 is mounted on the neck portion 21 a of container main body 21 to block the opening of neck portion 21 a;
- the container To use the container, remove the cover 25 first, take off the mounting portion 24 , and fill the container main body 21 of the beverage container 20 with water 26 from the opening of neck portion 21 a .
- the user When drinking water 26 , the user removes the cover 25 from the container main body 21 , inhale from the suction nozzle 22 b , and suck out the water 26 along the straw 22 a , that is, the water 26 inside.
- the straw 22 a is covered by a transparent straw cover, and the straw 22 a , which passes through the straw cover on the straw base 22 c , is installed on the straw base 22 c.
- the cover 25 serves as a lid.
- the user installs the cover 25 on the container main body 21 to block the suction nozzle 22 b of straw 22 a which is very hygienic because it will not be exposed to the outside.
- the beverage container 20 placed in a bag can protect the straw 22 a against damage caused by an rubbing against the lining of the bag and collision with internal objects, and the bag or internal objects will not be wet even if water 26 overflows.
- the straw 22 is provided with a suction hole 22 d , which is a hole disposed on the side of the straw 22 a to receive, from the suction hole 22 d , the flavorings 27 supplied by the feeding hole 23 f on the flavoring box 23 .
- the flavoring 27 along with air, is mixed as bubbles into the water 26 in the straw 22 a .
- the beverage itself is water 26 , but the users feel that they are drinking a beverage mixed with the flavoring 27 , and most of human tastes come from the odor. After various fragrances are mixed in pure water 26 , users may have the feeling of drinking a beverage with such tastes although the water 26 remains unchanged. This embodiment effectively utilizes the human illusion.
- the user when wanting to fill the container main body 21 with water 26 , the user can remove the mounting portion 24 from the mouth neck portion 21 a , and easily replenish water 26 from the opening of mouth neck portion 21 a . After replenishing the water 26 , the user re-installs the mounting portion 24 onto the mouth neck portion 21 a to block its opening. The water 26 replenished to the container main body 21 is therefore sealed in the beverage container 20 .
- the end on the opposite side of suction nozzle 22 b of the straw 22 a extends to the bottom of container main body 21 .
- the end on the opposite side of the suction nozzle 22 b of straw 22 a can also be bent at a specified position.
- the container main body 21 is made of, but not limited to, metal or plastic, and can also be made of resin or alloy.
- the container main body 21 is made of stainless steel, and can also be a plastic bottle (such as PET bottle) or glass bottle of commercially available mineral water and cool beverage water.
- the user only need the accessories that can directly insert the flavoring box 23 into the drinking port of commercially available plastic or glass bottles, etc.; in further, without using any accessories, the flavoring box 23 can be made small and then directly mounted at the mouth of commercially available plastic or glass bottles.
- the flavoring box 23 is a circular (donut shaped) component as a whole.
- the cavity formed by the straw 22 a passing through the center of the flavoring box 23 namely the central hole portion 23 a , is only required to maintain a diameter that allows the straw 22 a pass through, but the inner circumference of flavoring box 23 is closely attached to the straw 22 a;
- the flavoring box 23 includes a flavoring box main body 23 b and a top cover 23 c ;
- the flavoring box main body 23 b has a bottom surface 23 d , an outer and inner wall vertically disposed from the outer and inner circumference of the bottom surface 23 d ;
- the flavoring box 23 is entirely surrounded by the bottom surface 23 d , and the outer and inner walls, forming a circular groove which is open above the vertical direction, that is, the flavoring box main body 23 b is a circular component with a top surface opening; when the top cover 23 c is above the flavoring box main body 23 b , the groove that opens upwards is blocked, and the interior of flavoring box 23 is sealed;
- flavoring box 23 i.e. the groove portion
- sponge 23 h into which the flavoring 27 penetrates
- the flavoring box 23 when being sealed, is internally filled with flavoring 27 ;
- the bottom surface 23 d of flavoring box body 23 b has an inflow hole 23 e for introducing external air into the interior.
- the supply hole 23 f on the inner surface of flavoring box main body 23 b penetrates into the sponge 23 h , supplying the flavoring 27 accommodated in the flavoring box main body 23 b to the outside of the flavoring box 23 ; the flavoring 27 flowing out from the supply hole 23 f to the outside is supplied to the straw 22 a;
- a suction hole 22 d is provided on the straw 22 a corresponding to the supply hole 23 f , and is closely connected to the supply hole 23 f , therefore the flavoring 27 , along with the air, is mixed into the water 26 sucked up by the straw 22 a;
- the user can rotate the flavoring box 23 by holding the two holding portions 23 g on the outer side of the flavoring box 23 , and although the example presents two holding portions 23 g on the flavoring box 23 , the number of holding portions 23 g is not limited here;
- a protrusion 23 i is provided on the outer side of flavoring box 23 to fix the position of flavoring box 23 , that is, when the user rotates the flavoring box 23 .
- the protrusion 23 i is embedded in the concave portion 24 a of mounting portion 24 , the flavoring box 23 will stop rotation and is fixed in a specified position; when the protrusion 23 i is embedded in the concave portion 24 a , for example, the suction hole 22 d of straw 22 a is connected to the supply hole 23 f of flavoring box 23 , the flavoring 27 , along with air, is mixed as bubbles into water 26 ; when the user applies a little force to rotate flavoring box 23 , the protrusion 23 i leaves the concave portion 24 a , disconnecting the suction hole 22 d from the supply hole 23 f , and the water 26 that is not mixed with flavoring is provided to the user.
- the flow of flavoring 27 and air 28 inside the flavoring box 23 will be then explained.
- the air 28 which flows from the inflow hole 23 e on the bottom surface 23 d of flavoring box 23 changes its flow direction from vertical upward flow to horizontal flow along with the bottom surface 23 d .
- the air 28 which is divided into two directions flows in both directions for half a circle inside the flavoring box 23 , changes its flow direction, goes towards the central hole portion 23 a of the flavoring box 23 , and finally reaches the straw 22 a from the supply hole 23 f;

Description
- The present invention relates to the technical field of beverage containers, in particular to a beverage container and a flavoring box.
- Water can rarely arouse our desire to drink because it is colorless and tasteless, but fruit juice is different. Most people enjoy drinking fruit juice and the sweet fruit juice provides a very attractive taste in the mouth, so we will not feel that it is painful to drink water at all when drinking fruit juice. Drinking too much fruit juice, however, is harmful for our health, which is also not suitable for those with diabetes.
- Generally, the flavor of a beverage depends on its odor and taste, and the human tongue can taste five different flavors (sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and fresh), while the odor determines 80% of the taste. This also explains why we always cannot taste anything when we have a cold and a stuffy nose. To this end, it is necessary to design a beverage container that gives people the illusion of drinking juice while drinking water, thereby enhancing their desire to drink healthy boiled water.
- In response to the shortcomings of prior art, the present invention provides a beverage container and a flavoring box to address the problem of people having a low desire to drink pure water, but facing the harm to the body from the long-term consumption of beverages.

- As shown in
FIG. 1 , the embodiment of the present invention provides abeverage container 10, comprising a container main body 11, astraw 12, and aflavoring box 13. The container main body 11 is used to accommodate the beverage, and thestraw 12 is mounted at the neck portion 11 a of the container main body 11 to suck out the beverage accommodated. The hollowannular flavoring box 13 is used to accommodate and supply the flavoring to thestraw 12 which passes through the central hole part 13 a of theflavoring box 13. - In the embodiment, the arrangement of a flavoring box makes it possible to mix favorite flavorings into the beverage accommodated, providing the easy enjoyment of various flavored beverage.
- As shown in
FIG. 2-5 , the embodiment of the present invention provides abeverage container 20 which, from top to bottom, is composed of a cover 25, aflavoring box 23, astraw portion 22, an installation portion 24, and a container main body 21. Theflavoring box 23 is mounted on thestraw portion 22, and thestraw portion 22 with theflavoring box 23 is mounted on the mounting portion 24. Then, the mounting portion 24 with theflavoring box 23 andstraw portion 22 is mounted on the neck portion 21 a of container main body 21 to block the opening of neck portion 21 a; - To use the container, remove the cover 25 first, take off the mounting portion 24, and fill the container main body 21 of the
beverage container 20 with water 26 from the opening of neck portion 21 a. When drinking water 26, the user removes the cover 25 from the container main body 21, inhale from the suction nozzle 22 b, and suck out the water 26 along the straw 22 a, that is, the water 26 inside. The straw 22 a is covered by a transparent straw cover, and the straw 22 a, which passes through the straw cover on the straw base 22 c, is installed on the straw base 22 c. - The cover 25 serves as a lid. When not using the
beverage container 20, the user installs the cover 25 on the container main body 21 to block the suction nozzle 22 b of straw 22 a which is very hygienic because it will not be exposed to the outside. In addition, thebeverage container 20 placed in a bag can protect the straw 22 a against damage caused by an rubbing against the lining of the bag and collision with internal objects, and the bag or internal objects will not be wet even if water 26 overflows. - The
straw 22 is provided with a suction hole 22 d, which is a hole disposed on the side of the straw 22 a to receive, from the suction hole 22 d, the flavorings 27 supplied by the feeding hole 23 f on theflavoring box 23. The flavoring 27, along with air, is mixed as bubbles into the water 26 in the straw 22 a. The beverage itself is water 26, but the users feel that they are drinking a beverage mixed with the flavoring 27, and most of human tastes come from the odor. After various fragrances are mixed in pure water 26, users may have the feeling of drinking a beverage with such tastes although the water 26 remains unchanged. This embodiment effectively utilizes the human illusion. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , when wanting to fill the container main body 21 with water 26, the user can remove the mounting portion 24 from the mouth neck portion 21 a, and easily replenish water 26 from the opening of mouth neck portion 21 a. After replenishing the water 26, the user re-installs the mounting portion 24 onto the mouth neck portion 21 a to block its opening. The water 26 replenished to the container main body 21 is therefore sealed in thebeverage container 20. In addition, the end on the opposite side of suction nozzle 22 b of the straw 22 a extends to the bottom of container main body 21. In further, the end on the opposite side of the suction nozzle 22 b of straw 22 a can also be bent at a specified position. By bending the front end of the straw 22 a, the user can completely drink the filled water 26 by tilting thebeverage container 20 slightly. The container main body 21 is made of, but not limited to, metal or plastic, and can also be made of resin or alloy. In this embodiment, the container main body 21 is made of stainless steel, and can also be a plastic bottle (such as PET bottle) or glass bottle of commercially available mineral water and cool beverage water. In this case, the user only need the accessories that can directly insert theflavoring box 23 into the drinking port of commercially available plastic or glass bottles, etc.; in further, without using any accessories, theflavoring box 23 can be made small and then directly mounted at the mouth of commercially available plastic or glass bottles. - As shown in
FIG. 4-5 , theflavoring box 23 is a circular (donut shaped) component as a whole. The cavity formed by the straw 22 a passing through the center of theflavoring box 23, namely the central hole portion 23 a, is only required to maintain a diameter that allows the straw 22 a pass through, but the inner circumference offlavoring box 23 is closely attached to the straw 22 a; - the
flavoring box 23 includes a flavoring box main body 23 b and a top cover 23 c; the flavoring box main body 23 b has a bottom surface 23 d, an outer and inner wall vertically disposed from the outer and inner circumference of the bottom surface 23 d; theflavoring box 23 is entirely surrounded by the bottom surface 23 d, and the outer and inner walls, forming a circular groove which is open above the vertical direction, that is, the flavoring box main body 23 b is a circular component with a top surface opening; when the top cover 23 c is above the flavoring box main body 23 b, the groove that opens upwards is blocked, and the interior offlavoring box 23 is sealed; - the interior of
flavoring box 23, i.e. the groove portion, is provided with sponge 23 h into which the flavoring 27 penetrates; theflavoring box 23, when being sealed, is internally filled with flavoring 27; - the bottom surface 23 d of flavoring box body 23 b has an inflow hole 23 e for introducing external air into the interior. In addition, the supply hole 23 f on the inner surface of flavoring box main body 23 b penetrates into the sponge 23 h, supplying the flavoring 27 accommodated in the flavoring box main body 23 b to the outside of the
flavoring box 23; the flavoring 27 flowing out from the supply hole 23 f to the outside is supplied to the straw 22 a; - a suction hole 22 d is provided on the straw 22 a corresponding to the supply hole 23 f, and is closely connected to the supply hole 23 f, therefore the flavoring 27, along with the air, is mixed into the water 26 sucked up by the straw 22 a;
- the user can rotate the
flavoring box 23 by holding the two holding portions 23 g on the outer side of theflavoring box 23, and although the example presents two holding portions 23 g on theflavoring box 23, the number of holding portions 23 g is not limited here; - in further, a protrusion 23 i is provided on the outer side of
flavoring box 23 to fix the position offlavoring box 23, that is, when the user rotates theflavoring box 23. the protrusion 23 i is embedded in the concave portion 24 a of mounting portion 24, theflavoring box 23 will stop rotation and is fixed in a specified position; when the protrusion 23 i is embedded in the concave portion 24 a, for example, the suction hole 22 d of straw 22 a is connected to the supply hole 23 f offlavoring box 23, the flavoring 27, along with air, is mixed as bubbles into water 26; when the user applies a little force to rotateflavoring box 23, the protrusion 23 i leaves the concave portion 24 a, disconnecting the suction hole 22 d from the supply hole 23 f, and the water 26 that is not mixed with flavoring is provided to the user. - The flow of flavoring 27 and
air 28 inside theflavoring box 23 will be then explained. Theair 28 which flows from the inflow hole 23 e on the bottom surface 23 d offlavoring box 23 changes its flow direction from vertical upward flow to horizontal flow along with the bottom surface 23 d. In this case, theair 28 which is divided into two directions flows in both directions for half a circle inside theflavoring box 23, changes its flow direction, goes towards the central hole portion 23 a of theflavoring box 23, and finally reaches the straw 22 a from the supply hole 23 f; - the inflow hole 23 e and supply hole 23 f are disposed diagonally, that is, they are arranged in separate positions, so that the
air 28 flowing into the flavoring box main body 23 b can flow for the longest distance and for a long time inside theflavoring box 23, and maintain a long-time exposure to the flavoring 27, increasing the contact time. During the period before reaching the supply hole 23 f, theair 28 can contain a large amount of flavorings 27; - in further, two supply holes 23 f of different diameters are provided on the inner surface of
flavoring box 23; changing and aligning different supply holes 23 f with the suction holes 22 d of straw 22 a can change the amount of flavoring 27 mixed into the water 26; by rotatingflavoring box 23, for example, the user can switch over the flavoring 27 mixing switch, and when the switch is opened, adjust the mixing amount at stage 2 based on the different mixing amount of flavoring 27. Additionally, the two supply holes 23 f can be of the same size, and there can be one or more than three supply holes 23 f. - When the
flavoring box 23 is rotated, the protrusion 23 i is embedded in the concave portion 24 a, and the inflow hole 23 e located at the upper part of concave portion 24 c allowsair 28 to flow in. The concave portion 24 c, larger than the inflow hole 23 e, is two symmetrical grooves on the top surface of the mounting portion 24. In addition, the concave portion 24 c is provided with a groove facing the outer side of the radial direction of the mounting portion 24, through which air enters the concave portion 24 c, then goes to the interior offlavoring box 23 from the inflow hole 23 e. Two supply holes 23 f are provided on the inside offlavoring box 23, and also on the concave portion 24 c. By rotatingflavoring box 23, the user can allow theair 28 in by aligning either of the two supply holes 23 f with the suction hole 22 d. In further, theflavoring box 23 is made of, but not limited to, resin or plastic, and can also be made of metal or alloy. - If, when the user sucks water 26 from the suction nozzle 22 b, the neck portion 21 a is blocked, negative pressure will form inside the container main body 21 and the user cannot suck water 26. The air hole 24 b is therefore disposed at the top of the mounting portion 24 to supply
air 28 to the interior of the container main body 21, the user can drink water 26 sinceair 28 is supplied from the air hole 24 b. - By means of the implementation method in which preferred flavors are mixed into the beverage through a simple structure, the user can enjoy water with various flavors and actually have the feel of drinking the flavored beverage. Additionally, the users drinking water can enjoy various beverages, regardless of their illness, and also alleviate their state of illness.
- As shown in
FIG. 6 , the flavoring box of the beverage container in this embodiment has different internal structure from that in embodiment 2, but other structures and actions are the same as those in embodiment 2. Therefore, the same reference numerals are marked for the same structures and actions, and detailed explanations are omitted here. - Flavoring box 33 has a middle partition 33 a, which is disposed between the top cover 23 c and bottom surface 23 d of flavoring box 33. The interior of flavoring box 33 is divided into two layers, the first layer 33 c and the second layer 33 d. The
air 28 from the inflow hole 23 e flows through the first layer 33 c in two directions for half a cycle, and then reaches the upper layer, i.e. the second layer 33 d, through the through hole 33 b on the middle partition 33 a. After reaching the second layer 33 d, like inside the first layer 33 c,air 28 flows in two directions for half a cycle, and then is supplied to the straw 22 a from the supply hole 23 f on the inner side of flavoring box 33. In addition, a plurality of through holes 33 b are provided on the middle partition 33 a, or a plurality of middle partitions 33 a can be provided inside the flavoring box 33 to form a multi-layer flavoring box 33. - By means of the implementation method, air flows through an additional layer inside the flavoring box, so a simple-structured flavoring box can even provide more flavorings to water.
- As shown in
FIG. 7 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a beverage container and a flavoring box. Compared with the aforementioned embodiment 2 and 3, the flavoring box in this embodiment has different internal structure, but other structures and actions are the same as those in embodiment 2 and 3. Therefore, the same reference numerals are marked for the same structure and actions, and their detailed explanations are omitted here. - The present invention includes a
flavoring box 43 having an outer flange 43 b and an inner flange 43 c. The outer flange 43 b is disposed on the inner outer surface 43 e of the flavoring box main body 23 b, extending from the inner outer surface 43 e to the inside inner surface 43 d at a specified length and specified interval in the circumferential direction; the inner flange 43 c also extends from the inside inner surface 43 d of the flavoring box main body 23 b to the inside outer surface 43 e at a specified length and specified interval in the circumferential direction. - The length of outer flange 43 b cannot exceed the inside inner surface 43 d, and the length of inner flange 43 c cannot exceed the inside outer surface 43 e. Therefore, the passage for
air 28 flow inside theflavoring box 43 will not be blocked. - The
air 28 flowing insideflavoring box 43 stays away from the outer flange 43 b and inner flange 43 c while flowing, so theair 28 has a longer flow distance compared to the case without the outer flange 43 b and inner flange 43 c, that is, the curved flow path ofair 28 makes the flow distance longer. Therefore,air 28 must flow for a long distance, and in the flow, maintains a longer contact time with the flavoring 27 that infiltrates sponge 43 a, supplying more flavorings to the water 26. - By means of the implementation method, even a simple-structured flavoring box can extend the contact time between air and flavorings, thus providing more flavorings to the water.
- Although the embodiments of the present invention have been presented and described, it can be understood that the person of ordinary skill in the art can make multiple changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is limited by the accompanying claims and their equivalents.
