Straw-less Water Bottle

Abstract

A new type of a water bottle is described. A suction mechanism is built into the structure of the water bottle. The apparatus also contains a retractable mouthpiece built into the bottle cap as an extension of the cap and which forms part of the internal suction mechanism. This mouthpiece retracts and closes to an airtight seal when not in use so that any carbonated beverage maintains its freshness during storage. Also a mechanism for maintaining internal liquid levels in the suction mechanism is described which serves to prevent air entry into the suction mechanism between suctions.

1 . A water bottle with a built in suction mechanism that is an aesthetic and integral part of the water bottle infrastructure, and which obviates the need for an extraneous mechanism like the straw. 
   
   
       2 . The design of the suction mechanism in  claim 1  such that a type of silly-straw mechanism is built into the water bottle infrastructure, starting from the bottom of the bottle up the side of the bottle, around an internal groove around the rim of the water bottle and through the cap and a retractable mouthpiece built into the cap. 
   
   
       3 . The design of the suction mechanism in  claim 1  such that a mouthpiece which forms the end piece of the total suction mechanism forms a usable extension built into the cap of the bottle, which can be positioned either in the open or the closed position, and creates an air-tight seal in the closed position. 
   
   
       4 . The useful property of the suction mouthpiece in  claim 3  such that in the closed position and the bottle cap is screwed on tight, an airtight seal is created promoting the freshness of carbonated beverages as well as preventing leakage during transport. 
   
   
       5 . The design of the suction mechanism in  claim 1  such that a reverse stop mechanism is built into the suction mechanism which prevents air entry between subsequent suctions.
