Bottle Lid

Abstract

A bottle lid for use with a bottle having an opening includes an intermediate lid having a configuration for selectively coupling the intermediate lid to the bottle. The intermediate lid includes a barrier presenting upper and lower faces, the barrier enclosing the bottle opening when the intermediate lid is coupled to the bottle. The bottle lid includes a secondary bottle defining a cavity. The secondary bottle has an upper end open to the cavity and includes a configuration complementary to a configuration of the barrier lower face for selectively coupling the secondary bottle upper end to the barrier lower face. The bottle lid includes a top lid having a configuration complementary to a configuration of the intermediate lid for selectively coupling the top lid to the intermediate lid. The top lid and the intermediate lid collectively define a sealed compartment when the top lid is coupled to the intermediate lid.

       6 . The bottle lid as in  claim 1 , wherein said configuration of said intermediate lid complementary to a configuration of said bottle includes at least one thread. 
   
   
       7 . The bottle lid as in  claim 6 , wherein said configuration of said secondary bottle upper end complementary to a configuration of said barrier lower face includes at least one thread. 
   
   
       8 . The bottle lid as in  claim 1 , wherein said intermediate lid is cylindrical and said top lid is cylindrical. 
   
   
       9 . A bottle lid for use with a bottle having an opening, said bottle lid comprising:
 an intermediate lid having a configuration complementary to a configuration of said bottle for selectively coupling said intermediate lid to said bottle, said intermediate lid having a barrier presenting upper and lower faces, said barrier enclosing said bottle opening when said intermediate lid is coupled to said bottle; and   a secondary bottle having upper and lower ends and defining a cavity therebetween, said secondary bottle upper end being open to said cavity and having a configuration complementary to a configuration of said barrier lower face for selectively coupling said secondary bottle upper end to said barrier lower face.   
   
   
       10 . The bottle lid as in  claim 9 , wherein said secondary bottle extends into said bottle when said secondary bottle is coupled to said barrier and said intermediate lid is coupled to said bottle. 
   
   
       11 . The bottle lid as in  claim 10 , wherein said secondary bottle cavity is airtight when said secondary bottle upper end is coupled to said barrier lower face. 
   
   
       12 . The bottle lid as in  claim 9 , wherein said secondary bottle cavity is airtight when said secondary bottle upper end is coupled to said barrier lower face. 
   
   
       13 . A bottle lid for use with a bottle having an open end with external threads, said bottle lid comprising:
 a plurality of intermediate lids, each intermediate lid having internal threads and external threads, said external threads of said intermediate lids being configured to approximate said external threads of said bottle, said internal threads of said intermediate lids being configured complementary to said external threads of said bottle and said external threads of said intermediate lids for respectively coupling said intermediate lids to said bottle and other said intermediate lids, each intermediate lid having a barrier presenting upper and lower faces and enclosing said bottle open end when said intermediate lid is coupled to said bottle, at least one said barrier lower face having a coupling element;   a secondary bottle having upper and lower ends and defining a cavity therebetween, said secondary bottle upper end being open to said cavity and having a coupling element complementary to said coupling element of said barrier lower face for selectively coupling said secondary bottle upper end to said barrier lower face;   a top lid having internal threads complementary to said external threads of said intermediate lids for respectively coupling said top lid to said intermediate lids;   wherein said top lid and a respective said intermediate lid collectively define a sealed compartment when said top lid is coupled to said intermediate lid; and   wherein every two said intermediate lids coupled together collectively define a sealed compartment between respective said barriers.   
   
   
       14 . The bottle lid as in  claim 13 , wherein at least one said intermediate lid has a configuration different than a configuration of at least one other said intermediate lid. 
   
   
       15 . The bottle lid as in  claim 13 , wherein each said intermediate lid has a configuration approximating a configuration of each other said intermediate lid. 
   
   
       16 . The bottle lid as in  claim 13 , wherein said sealed compartment collectively defined by said top lid and a respective said intermediate lid when said top lid is coupled to said intermediate lid is airtight. 
   
   
       17 . The bottle lid as in  claim 13 , wherein said secondary bottle extends into one of said bottle and another said intermediate lid when said secondary bottle is coupled to a respective said intermediate lid.
