Drinking bottle with multiple compartments and replaceable ampoules

Abstract

A drinking bottle ( 100 ) having at east one liquid reservoir ( 120, 140 ), at least one replaceable substrate ampoule ( 200 ) and means for breaking a liquid proof seal ( 206 ) between the substrate ampoule ( 200 ) and the liquid reservoir. The substrate ampoule ( 200 ) comprises a drinking tube ( 210 ) with a distal drinking nipple ( 211 ), where the drinking tube ( 210 ) is disposed axially displaceable in relation to the ampoule ( 200 ) between an inner position where liquid cannot flow from the liquid reservoir ( 120, 140 ) to the interior of the drinking tube ( 210 ), and an outer position where liquid can flow from the liquid reservoir ( 120, 140 ) to the interior of the drinking tube ( 210 ). The drinking bottle ( 100 ) makes t possible to bring along several substrate ampoules ( 200 ) with various contents that can be mixed with liquid from the liquid reservoir ( 120, 140 ). The bottle can also provide doses of liquid. As the drinking tube ( 210 ) is part of the ampoule ( 200 ), problems with cleaning a drinking tube with a drinking valve are avoided. Applications include drinks for sports, administration and dosage of medication etc.

1 . A drinking bottle having at least one liquid reservoir, at least one replaceable substrate ampoule and means for breaking a liquid proof seal between the substrate ampoule and the liquid reservoir, wherein characterised in that the substrate ampoule comprises a drinking tube with a distal drinking nipple, where the drinking tube is disposed axially displaceable in relation to the ampoule between an inner position where liquid cannot flow from the liquid reservoir to the interior of the drinking tube, and an outer position where liquid can flow from the liquid reservoir to the interior of the drinking tube. 
     
     
         2 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein drinking tube comprises at least one drinking valve adapted to close the drinking tube temporarily. 
     
     
         3 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 1 , further comprising a top part releasable attached to a bottle body, where the top part contains room(s) for at least one substrate ampoule. 
     
     
         4 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the liquid reservoir comprises a mixing chamber disposed between a substrate ampoule and a reservoir chamber. 
     
     
         5 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 4 , wherein the mixing chamber is disposed within the top part. 
     
     
         6 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 4 , wherein the mixing chamber is disposed within the bottle body. 
     
     
         7 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 5 , wherein a check valve is disposed between the reservoir chamber and the mixing chamber, whereby the mixing chamber can be used to provide doses of liquid. 
     
     
         8 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the liquid reservoir has a flexible wall adapted to reduce the volume of the liquid reservoir, and where the liquid reservoir has an outlet for liquid. 
     
     
         9 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 6 , further comprising a bottom part which is fluid tight affixed to the body and rotatable between an open position where a channel forms a fluid connection between the reservoir chamber and the mixing chamber, and a closed position where the channel does not form a fluid connection between the reservoir chamber and the mixing chamber. 
     
     
         10 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 3 , wherein the top part is rotatable relative to the bottle body about the main axis of the bottle body, whereby the substrate ampoule can be rotated to an opening to the liquid reservoir. 
     
     
         11 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the seal is a part of the bottom of the substrate ampoule adapted to be opened by a force applied through the drinking tube. 
     
     
         12 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the substrate ampoule comprises a flexible and liquid proof bellow affixed to an outer surface of the drinking tube and to the outer shell of the substrate ampoule. 
     
     
         13 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein the substrate ampoule contains a filter and/or other water purification means. 
     
     
         14 . A method for providing a liquid with desired quality in a drinking bottle for consumption, the method comprising:
 disposing at least one replaceable substrate ampoule in the drinking bottle, filling at least one liquid reservoir with a desired liquid, opening a seal between a substrate ampoule and the liquid reservoir, and   pulling a drinking tube out of the ampoule.   
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the step of filling the mixing chamber comprises manually opening and closing a fluid channel between the reservoir chamber and the mixing chamber. 
     
     
         16 . The drinking bottle according to  claim 6 , wherein a check valve is disposed between the reservoir chamber and the mixing chamber, whereby the mixing chamber can be used to provide doses of liquid.
