Flavor Chamber

Abstract

The invention is a flavor enhancement delivery system named The Flavor Chamber. A bladder (A), (B), (C) that is attached to the underside of a bottle cap ( 24 ) and is intended to replace the cap seal ( 1 ). In a can, the bladder (D) is attached to the underside of a multi-spout can top (E). The shape and color varies per the function and visualization of the product such as a green, yellow or orange citrus wedge bladder (A) to represent a lime, lemon or orange citrus flavor respectively as seen through a clear bottle. It may be a neutral colored dome shape bladder (B) for a generic look that does not represent a flavor well by shape and may not be seen such as in a darker bottle. It may be shaped to the dimensions and circumference of the underside of a multi-spout can top (E) and hold a flavor chamber ( 10 ) under each individual can top opening ( 11 ). Its intent is to offer the option of choosing a flavor enhancement to the beverage after opening the container or choosing not to enhance the original flavor. Other substances can be inserted into the bladders (A), (B), (C), (D) per design of the manufacture and non-beverage applications and industries may adopt the flavor chamber bladder idea for use with different products and chemicals.
