Multi-compartment drink bottle

Abstract

A multi-compartment drink bottle comprising at least two nipples, at least two end caps and at least one union. Each nipple includes a substantially cylindrical hollow tube having two opposingly disposed ends, a diameter and an external mating surface disposed on each of the two opposingly disposed ends of the nipple. Each end cap includes an internal mating surface. Each union includes a substantially cylindrical hollow tube having two opposingly disposed ends, a diameter and a dividing wall disposed within the hollow tube, isolating material connection between the two opposingly disposed ends of the union. The diameter of the hollow tube of a union is substantially the same as the diameter of the hollow tube of a nipple. In use, each end of the union is mated with a nipple which is in turn mated with an end cap such that a plurality of cylindrical drink compartments is formed.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A drink bottle comprising:
 (a) at least one nipple comprising a substantially cylindrical hollow tube having two opposingly disposed ends, a diameter and an external mating surface disposed on each of said two opposingly disposed ends of said hollow tube of said at least one nipple;   (b) at least one end cap having an internal mating surface; and   (c) at least one union having a substantially cylindrical hollow tube having two opposingly disposed ends, a diameter, a dividing wall disposed within said hollow tube of said at least one union and an internal mating surface disposed on each of said two opposingly disposed ends of said hollow tube of said at least one union,   wherein said diameter of said hollow tube of said at least one union is substantially the same as said diameter of said hollow tube of said at least one nipple, at least one end of said at least one union is mated to said at least one nipple at a first end, said at least one end cap is mated to said at least one nipple at a second end such that at least one substantially cylindrical drink compartment is formed, each compartment having a height.   
     
     
         2 . The drink bottle of  claim 1 , wherein each said internal mating surface comprises screw threads and each said external mating surface comprises screw threads configured to mate with said screw threads of each said internal mating surface. 
     
     
         3 . The drink bottle of  claim 1 , wherein each said dividing wall comprises a filter. 
     
     
         4 . The drink bottle of  claim 1 , wherein each said dividing wall comprises an air gap for thermally isolating said at least one substantially cylindrical drink compartment from an outside environment. 
     
     
         5 . The drink bottle of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said at least one nipple, said at least one end cap and said at least one union is constructed from a material consisting of stainless steel, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Copolyester and Polyethylene Terephthalate. 
     
     
         6 . The drink bottle of  claim 1 , wherein each said dividing wall comprises at least one protrusion for increasing the surface area of each said dividing wall into which said at least one protrusion extends. 
     
     
         7 . The drink bottle of  claim 6 , wherein said at least one protrusion includes a length, wherein said length to said height of said least one substantially cylindrical drink compartment ranges from about 1/20 to about 19/20. 
     
     
         8 . A multi-compartment drink bottle comprising:
 (a) at least two nipples, each nipple comprising a substantially cylindrical hollow tube having two opposingly disposed ends, a diameter and an external mating surface disposed on each of said two opposingly disposed ends of said hollow tube of said each of said at least two nipples;   (b) at least two end caps, each cap having an internal mating surface; and   (c) at least one union having a substantially cylindrical hollow tube having two opposingly disposed ends, a diameter and a dividing wall disposed within said hollow tube of said at least one union and an internal mating surface disposed on each of said two opposingly disposed ends of said hollow tube of said at least one union,   wherein said diameter of said hollow tube of said at least one union is substantially the same as said diameter of said hollow tube of said each of said at least two nipples, each end of said at least one union is mated to one of said at least two nipples at a first end, one of said at least two end caps is mated to one of said at least two nipples at a second end such that a plurality of substantially cylindrical drink compartments is formed, each compartment having a height.   
     
     
         9 . The multi-compartment drink bottle of  claim 8 , wherein each said internal mating surface comprises screw threads and each said external mating surface comprises screw threads configured to mate with said screw threads of each said internal mating surface. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-compartment drink bottle of  claim 8 , wherein each said dividing wall comprises a perforation for allowing material communication between said plurality of substantially cylindrical drink compartments. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-compartment drink bottle of  claim 8 , wherein each said dividing wall comprises a filter. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-compartment drink bottle of  claim 8 , wherein each said dividing wall comprises an air gap for thermally isolating said plurality of substantially cylindrical drink compartments. 
     
     
         13 . The multi-compartment drink bottle of  claim 8 , wherein at least one of said at least two nipples, said at least two end caps and said at least one union is constructed from a material consisting of stainless steel, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Copolyester and Polyethylene Terephthalate. 
     
     
         14 . The multi-compartment drink bottle of  claim 8 , wherein each said dividing wall comprises at least one protrusion for increasing the surface area of each said dividing wall into which said at least one protrusion extends. 
     
     
         15 . The multi-compartment drink bottle of  claim 14 , wherein said at least one protrusion includes a length, wherein said length to said height of said least one substantially cylindrical drink compartment ranges from about 1/20 to about 19/20.
