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. A seal facilitating structure, receiver and notch forms to provide a leak resistant sealed container.

         7 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said collar comprises a threaded surface being configured to engage a threaded surface of said top section. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said bottom section collapses to a storable position. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said seal facilitating structure comprises a ball or round shaped seal facilitating structure. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , in which said flexible bottom section comprises an antibacterial material. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said collar is a removable collar. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said collar provides a perimeter framework for said top section and said container bottom section. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said collar is operable to provide a rigid framework. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said seal facilitating structure comprises a removable seal positioned between the top section and the collar to form a leak proof seal for the container. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said seal facilitating structure comprises a wedge shaped seal facilitating structure. 
     
     
         16 . A device comprising:
 means for containing a liquid;   means, disposed at a bottom segment of said liquid containing means, for enabling inversion of said containing means;   means, disposed at a top end portion of said containing means, for facilitating sealing;   means for forming a cap for said liquid containing means;   means, disposed at an inner portion of said cap forming means, for receiving a top portion of said seal facilitating means;   means for engaging said cap forming means;   means, disposed at said cap engaging means, for receiving a proximate bottom portion of said seal facilitating means; and   wherein said cap forming means and said cap engaging means being configured to form a container with said liquid containing means, in which said means for receiving a top portion of said seal facilitating means and said means for receiving a proximate bottom portion of said seal facilitating means, sandwiches said seal facilitating means being configured to form a leak resistant sealed container.   
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16 , further comprising means for liquid to pass through.
