Invertible Segmented Consumption Container

Abstract

An invertible segmented consumption container that inverts to allow for facilitated cleaning of an inner surface. A top section of the container comprises of a rigid material that separates from a bottom section. The top section is operable to engage a lid for containing a liquid. The bottom section is operable to retain the liquid for consumption. The bottom section is comprised of a flexible material. The invertibility of the bottom section creates access to the inner surface for facilitated cleaning When the rigid top section separates from the flexible bottom section, the bottom section may invert into itself. A rigid collar joins the top section with the bottom section, and provides a perimeter framework for drinking the liquid. The bottom section is also collapsible to provide compact storage and portability.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An invertible segmented container comprising:
 a top section, said top section being configured to form a cap for containing a liquid;   a bottom section, said bottom section being operable to contain said liquid, said bottom section being comprised of a flexible material and being further configured to be operable to be inverted; and   a collar, said collar being configured to join said top section with said bottom section.   
     
     
         2 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said top section comprises a rigid structure. 
     
     
         3 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 2 , in which said top section comprises an aperture for said liquid to pass through. 
     
     
         4 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 3 , wherein said top section is operable to form a cap on said bottom section. 
     
     
         5 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , further comprising a relatively stiff outer shell disposed around at least a lower portion of said bottom section, to provide adequate rigidity to said bottom section during normal use. 
     
     
         6 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 5 , wherein said outer shell joins said top section. 
     
     
         7 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said collar joins said outer shell with said top section. 
     
     
         8 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said bottom section collapses to a storable position. 
     
     
         9 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said bottom section is operable to invert for cleaning 
     
     
         10 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , in which said flexible bottom section comprises an antibacterial material. 
     
     
         11 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said collar comprises a rigid material. 
     
     
         12 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said collar comprises a threaded surface. 
     
     
         13 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said collar provides a perimeter framework for said top section and said bottom section. 
     
     
         14 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said collar is operable to provide a rigid framework for drinking said liquid. 
     
     
         15 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein said invertible segmented container comprises an ecofriendly material. 
     
     
         16 . The invertible segmented container of  claim 1 , wherein contains a consumable liquid. 
     
     
         17 . An invertible segmented container comprising:
 means for detaching a top section from a bottom section;   means for inverting said bottom section, wherein an inner surface inverts to a position outside said invertible segmented container;   means for cleaning said inner surface;   means for inverting said inner surface, wherein said inner surface inverts to a position inside said invertible segmented container; and   means for joining said top section with said bottom section.   
     
     
         18 . An invertible segmented container comprising:
 a top section, said top section being configured to form a cap for containing a liquid, said top section comprising an aperture for said liquid to pass through;   a bottom section, said bottom section being configured to contain said liquid, said bottom section being operable to invert, said bottom section comprising a flexible material;   a collar, said collar being configured to join said top section with said bottom section, said collar comprising a rigid material, said collar being operable to provide a perimeter framework for said bottom section; and   an inner surface, said inner surface being operable to engage said liquid, said inner surface being disposed to invert to a position outside said invertible segmented container.
