Definitions

  • the invention relates a drinking bottle with a bottle body and a closure unit with a hinged lid attached to the closure unit.
  • Such drinking bottles are intended for repeated use and shall avoid the usage of disposable bottles. It is intended, that the user regularly refills the bottle with water, whereby the closure unit is preferably removable as a whole in order to simplify the refilling.
  • the invention concerns drinking bottles having electronic components, especially sensors, for monitoring the liquid consumption and for giving feedback to the user.
  • Object of the invention is to provide a drinking bottle that overcomes the problems mentioned above.
  • a drinking bottle with a bottle body and a closure unit attached to its bottle outlet whereby the closure unit is preferably attached to the bottle body by means of a thread.
  • the longitudinal axis of the preferably essentially rotationally symmetrical bottle body and/or the bottle outlet and the thread provided there define a center main axis of the drinking bottle.
  • the drinking bottle according to the invention is intended for repeated use.
  • the closure unit is therefore preferably removable as a whole, so that the drinking bottle can be easily refilled. Since it is a reusable bottle, it does not have to be manufactured at a particularly low price. Therefore, high-quality materials such as glass or metal can be used for the bottle body and high-quality plastic for a housing of the closure unit.
  • the closure unit comprises at least parts or segments made of metal.
  • the closure unit has a base and a hinged lid attached to it.
  • the hinged lid When closed, the hinged lid is secured to the base by means of a retaining portion, in particular by means of retaining portions on the hinged lid and on the base which engage behind each other in a form-fitting manner.
  • the closed hinged lid prevents the outflow of liquid and the ingress of dirt. Additionally, electronic components, especially an optical sensor, which can be located in the hinged lid and is described below, are also protected when the lid is closed.
  • a first button is provided on the base and especially on a circumferential lateral surface, which preferably can be pressed in radially towards the center main axis, and by means of which the base retaining portion can be pressed into a release position. In this release position it no longer prevents movement of the lid side retaining portion, so that the hinged lid can then be opened or automatically opens under the force of a spring.
  • the drinking bottle is preferably a drinking bottle with electronic components for the purpose of data processing, in particular for monitoring the drinking processes and/or for sending signals to the user.
  • Such drinking bottles are also called smart bottles.
  • smart bottles can use sensors to detect drinking processes and/or measure the amount of liquid remaining in the drinking bottle and, if necessary, communicate with a mobile phone or other device via a radio link.
  • the electronic components of the drinking bottle are located in the hinged lid.
  • the electronic components include an acceleration sensor. This allows the detection of the vibration of the first or second button or the unlocking process, in particular by means of software running on an integrated circuit of the bottle.
  • the connecting element by means of which the second button is connected to the locking portion.
  • the locking portion can thus be provided in the immediate vicinity of the first button. If the second button is moved, the connecting element is also moved and with it preferably also the locking portion.
  • the connecting element can be designed in the form of a ring. This means that it extends with two sections on both sides of a liquid outlet and these sections are joined together opposite the second button and thus in the area of the first button.
  • the locking portion may be located in the area of this junction.
  • the connecting element which is ring-shaped in this sense, has a roughly circular outer surface, which is guided by an also circular surface of the base.
  • the connecting element is preferably arranged inside the base, invisible from the outside.
  • the second button is on the outside and movably provided on a lateral surface of the base.
  • the second button is connected to the connecting element, preferably by means of at least one bridge section.
  • the bridge section is movably provided in an opening of a lateral surface of the base.
  • the second button for locking or unlocking the first button is preferably designed as a sliding button which is either vertically slideable substantially parallel to the main axis or as a sliding button which is rotatablydisplaceable around the main axis in the peripheral direction and thereby sliding circumferentially on a lateral surface of the base.
  • an externally projecting hinge device is provided by means of which the hinged lid is hinged to the base.
  • the second button can be provided below this hinge device, i.e. offset in the main direction from the hinge device.
  • the articulation device protects the second button against unintentional application of force.
  • the second button is intended to move a locking portion which, in one position, prevents the first button from being pushed.
  • this locking portion can be designed to prevent in that position a tilting movement of a tilting retaining element.
  • This tilting retaining element is provided on the base and is preferably formed in one piece with a surrounding surface of the base, in particular due to one bridge or two bridges connecting the retaining element and the lateral surface on both sides of the retaining element.
  • At least the first button is provided on this retaining element, preferably also the base retaining portion for securing the closed lid.
  • the retaining element is preferably provided to tilt against the base or adjacent surfaces of the base in such a way that pressing the first button inwards causes a radial movement of the retaining portion outwards.
  • the corresponding retaining portion of the lid points outwards and is secured there by the inwardly pointing retaining portion of the base until the retaining element tilts and the retaining portion of the base moves outwards and out of engagement with the retaining portion of the lid. Now the lid can be opened.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show a drinking bottle 10 with a closure unit 20.
  • This drinking bottle 10 is a smart bottle with electronic components for monitoring the remaining fluid level in the drinking bottle 10.
  • the hinged lid 80 When the hinged lid is in the closed position of fig. 1 , the drinking bottle is closed and no liquid can escape through the liquid outlet 14. To open the bottle, it is not sufficient to grasp the hinged lid 80 and swivel it, as it is secured by retaining portions 42, 82 on the base 30 and the hinged lid 80. The user must therefore press a first button 44 as shown by the arrow 2 to tilt a retaining element 40 and thereby move retaining portion 42 in the direction of the arrow 4 out of the engagement of retaining section 82. Then the hinged lid 80 can be grasped and swiveled. The open state is shown in fig. 2 . However, the drinking bottle can only be opened this way via the button 44 if the locking system 50 is not in the locked state.
  • the locked state is established and released by means of a second button 54, which is provided opposite the first button 44 in the area of the lateral surface 32 of the base 30.
  • this second button 54 is pushed upwards in the direction of arrow 6A, the locked state is established in which the first button 44 cannot be pushed in.
  • Sliding the second button 54 downwards in the direction of arrow 6B creates the unlocked state in which the first button 44 can be pushed in.
  • Fig. 4 shows the individual components of the closure unit 20 in an exploded view.
