Pivotable water bottle with straw and sealed lid
The patent US12012264B2 describes a novel water bottle design that features a reservoir for holding liquid, an engaging lid, a straw, and a pivotable mouthpiece. The reservoir is characterized by an open top and a closed bottom, while the lid consists of an upper and lower portion connected by a hinge. This design allows the upper lid to rotate away from the lower lid, creating a liquid-impermeable seal when closed. The lower lid portion includes a first opening and a straw engagement member that connects to the straw, ensuring that the straw extends into the reservoir for fluid access. The pivotable mouthpiece is attached to the upper lid and is designed to be in fluid communication with the straw when in an open configuration, while it is stowed away in a closed configuration.
Additional features of the water bottle include an actuator on the upper lid that secures the lid in a closed position and allows for easy disengagement when pressed. The design also incorporates a handle that can be locked in an upright position, enhancing portability. The threaded portions on the top outer rim of the reservoir and the bottom inner rim of the lid facilitate secure engagement between the two components. Overall, the patent outlines a functional and user-friendly water bottle that emphasizes ease of use, effective sealing, and fluid accessibility.
