Beverage container lid, assembly and system

Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a beverage container lid, assembly and system. The beverage container lid, assembly and system are operationally configured to store fluid in a fluid reservoir of a beverage container lid and convey fluid out from the fluid reservoir to a target destination such as a fluid reservoir of a corresponding beverage container.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A lid for a beverage container, comprising:
 a fluid additive reservoir; and   a primer pump operationally configured to convey fluid out from the fluid additive reservoir to a target destination external the fluid additive reservoir.   
     
     
         2 . The lid of  claim 1 , further comprising a first opening in fluid communication with the fluid additive reservoir and a second opening in fluid communication with the target destination. 
     
     
         3 . The lid of  claim 2 , wherein the target destination is a fluid reservoir of a beverage container attached to the lid. 
     
     
         4 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein the primer pump comprises a multi-directional fluid pathway operationally configured to convey fluid out from the fluid additive reservoir to the target destination. 
     
     
         5 . A lid for a beverage container, comprising:
 a housing including a fluid additive reservoir; and   a primer pump located on the housing in fluid communication with fluid additive reservoir;   wherein the primer pump is operationally configured to convey fluid from a first fluid location in the fluid additive reservoir to a second fluid location external the housing and operationally configured to convey fluid from the second fluid location to a third fluid location external the lid.   
     
     
         6 . The lid of  claim 5 , wherein when the lid is attached to a beverage container, then the third fluid location is a fluid reservoir of the beverage container. 
     
     
         7 . The lid of  claim 5 , wherein the housing includes a first opening in fluid communication with the fluid additive reservoir and a second opening in fluid communication with the third fluid location. 
     
     
         8 . The lid of  claim 7 , wherein when the lid is attached to a beverage container, then the third fluid location is a fluid reservoir of the beverage container. 
     
     
         9 . The lid of  claim 8 , wherein the primer pump includes an upstream fluid conduit in fluid communication with the fluid additive reservoir and a downstream fluid in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir of the beverage container. 
     
     
         10 . The lid of  claim 5 , wherein the second fluid location is within a bulb of the primer pump. 
     
     
         11 . The lid of  claim 5 , wherein the primer pump includes an upstream fluid conduit comprising an open distal end located within the fluid additive reservoir and a downstream fluid conduit comprising an open distal end located external the fluid additive reservoir. 
     
     
         12 . A beverage container system, comprising:
 a beverage container including a fluid reservoir; and   a lid releasably attachable to the beverage container, the lid comprising a fluid additive reservoir and a primer pump operationally configured to convey fluid out from the fluid additive reservoir into the fluid reservoir of the beverage container.   
     
     
         13 . The beverage container system of  claim 12 , wherein the lid includes a housing comprising the fluid additive reservoir, the housing also comprising an exterior part including a sealable first opening providing fluid access to the fluid additive reservoir and a sealable second opening providing fluid access to the fluid reservoir of the beverage container. 
     
     
         14 . The beverage container system of  claim 12 , wherein the lid comprises a fluid additive reservoir external the housing that is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir of the beverage container and in fluid communication with the fluid additive reservoir of the lid.
