Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the field of container design and manufacturing, specifically insulated beverage bottles. It addresses the need for improved temperature retention, leak-proof functionality, and sustainable design in reusable beverage containers, particularly those capable of simultaneously storing hot and cold liquids.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Consumers frequently require convenient and efficient methods for transporting and storing both hot and cold beverages simultaneously. Existing beverage containers often fall short in several key areas: Many traditional designs lack effective insulation, leading to rapid temperature fluctuations that compromise the enjoyment of beverages. Leak-proof seals and gaskets are not always reliable, leading to spills and mess. Furthermore, many beverage containers are made from single-use plastics, contributing to environmental pollution. While insulated beverage bottles exist, they typically offer only a single compartment, limiting their utility for carrying both hot and cold drinks. Those that do offer multiple compartments often lack adequate insulation, leak-proof seals, or robust construction. The market demands a practical and innovative solution that addresses these shortcomings by combining advanced insulation technology with a durable, leak-proof, and sustainable design. This invention aims to fill this market gap by providing a reusable dual-compartment insulated beverage bottle that maintains optimal temperature, prevents leaks, and promotes environmentally responsible consumption.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
This invention presents a novel dual-compartment insulated beverage bottle designed for the simultaneous storage and transport of hot and cold liquids. The bottle features a robust construction made of high-quality stainless steel, employing an advanced vacuum insulation layer between two inner compartments to maintain optimal temperatures. High-grade silicone seals and gaskets ensure leak-proof functionality. The outer body is powder-coated for durability and aesthetic appeal. This eco-friendly design prioritizes reusability, reducing reliance on single-use plastic containers. The bottle's unique dual-compartment design enables the simultaneous carriage of hot and cold beverages, enhancing user convenience for a wide range of applications (travel, outdoor activities, etc.).

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
The dual-compartment insulated beverage bottle comprises several key components: an outer stainless steel body, two inner stainless steel compartments, a vacuum insulation layer between the compartments, a thermoplastic internal divider separating the compartments, high-grade silicone seals and gaskets, food-grade plastic lids and spouts, and a powder-coated exterior. The manufacturing process utilizes advanced techniques, including hydraulic pressing to form the stainless steel components, vacuum insulation to create the insulation layer, injection molding for the thermoplastic components, and silicone molding for the seals and gaskets. Laser welding ensures a robust and leak-proof connection between the inner and outer compartments. The powder coating provides a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and protective finish. The precise dimensions and materials of each component are critical to maintain the bottle's structural integrity, thermal performance, and leak-proof functionality. The high-grade silicone seals and gaskets are strategically designed to create a completely airtight seal between the inner compartments and the outer body, preventing leaks and ensuring effective temperature retention. The vacuum insulation layer significantly reduces heat transfer, maximizing the duration that the beverages maintain their ideal temperature. The use of stainless steel and powder coating ensures high durability, resistance to wear and tear, and long-lasting performance. The design emphasizes reusability and reduces reliance on single-use plastics, aligning with environmentally conscious consumer preferences.
