Sectionalized fluids container

Abstract

A sectionalized fluids container formed of one or more segments, threadedly engaged together, with a bottom closure secured to the bottom of the container, to seal it, and a top upper closure or cap securing with the top most segment, to form the fluids container. A double venting arrangement may be provided within the container, and allows for the entrance of ambient air when the container is inverted, during drinking, to prevent the formation of any vacuum therein. A drinking spout may be applied to the cap of the container, to facilitate its usage.

I claim:

A sectionalized fluids container for use for holding a liquid for consumption, said container having at least two segments threadedly engaged together to form the body for said container, a bottom closure, securing with the lowermost segment, to provide closure for the container bottom, and a top closure, securing with the topmost segment of the container, to provide for closure at the top of the container for any liquid contained therein. 
     
     
         2 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1  wherein said container comprises a sports bottle. 
     
     
         3 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a water bottle. 
     
     
         4 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1  wherein said closure cap includes a spout, to provide for drinking of its contained fluids by the user. 
     
     
         5 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 4 , wherein the spout incorporates a closure valve which when closed, prevents the release of any fluids from the container, and when said closure valve is opened, allows for drinking of the fluid from the container by the user. 
     
     
         6 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 5 , wherein said closure cap has an inner surface, a valve seat integrally formed extending downwardly from the inner surface of said closure cap, and said valve seat provided for cooperating with the valve of the spout to allow for opening or closing of the container during usage. 
     
     
         7 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1 , wherein there are three sections forming the body of the fluids container. 
     
     
         8 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1 , wherein there are four sections forming the body of the fluids container. 
     
     
         9 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1 , wherein there are five sections forming the body of the fluids container. 
     
     
         10 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1 , wherein there are six sections forming the body of the fluids container. 
     
     
         11 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1 , and including a vent structure provided through the top closure for the container, to allow for admittance of air into the bottle to prevent the development of a vacuum therein when fluids are being consumed by the user. 
     
     
         12 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 11 , wherein said vent structure incorporates an inner vent tube, extending downwardly from a vent port provided through the closure cap, a vent reservoir surrounding said inner vent tube, said reservoir having a longitudinal vent tube extending downwardly therefrom and opening proximate the interior bottom of the fluids container, such that when the container is inverted, during drinking, the vent structure allows ambient air to enter into the fluids container and prevent the development of any vacuum during fluids consumption. 
     
     
         13 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 12  wherein said vent structure is a double vented structure. 
     
     
         14 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 13 , wherein said vent reservoir locates the inner vent tube spaced inwardly therein, such that when the fluids container is inverted, any residue fluids within the reservoir vent tube disposes intermediate the vent reservoir and the inner vent tube to prevent its leakage outside of the closure cap during fluids consumption by the user. 
     
     
         15 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 14 , wherein the reservoir vent tube integrally inclines towards the center of the container when installed. 
     
     
         16 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 1 , wherein each section of the container includes upwardly extending male threads, and the bottom of each section of the container having internal female threads, for accommodating the threaded engagement of the sections together or to a closure cap or the bottom closure of the container when assembled. 
     
     
         17 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 16 , wherein the male threads at their upper end have an inclined surface, and the internal female threads of each section having an inclined surface, such that when one section threadedly engages within another section, the inclined surfaces bind together into sealed closure to prevent the leakage of any fluids from the container when forming a container body. 
     
     
         18 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 11  wherein the vent structure is a single venting structure. 
     
     
         19 . A sectionalized fluids container for use for holding a liquid for consumption, said container having at least two segments threadily engaged together to form the body for said container, a bottom closure, threadily engaging with the lower most segment, to provide closure for the container bottom, and a top closure, engaging with the top most segment of the container, to provide for closure at the top of the container for any liquid contained therein, a vent port provided through the top closure, a vent tube securing with the interior of the top closure at its vent port, said vent tube extending downwardly within the container and opening proximate its interior bottom, said vent tube having a minuscule passage provided therethrough to allow for venting of air into the container when it is inverted during consumption of its liquid contents, and said vent tube through its minuscule passage preventing through capillary action the rise of fluids within the vent tube when the container is vertically arranged during non usage. 
     
     
         20 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 19 , wherein said vent tube has said internal passage, and the passage has an internal diameter of approximately 2-3 mm. 
     
     
         21 . A sectionalized fluids container for use for holding a liquid for consumption, said container having at least one segment, a bottom closure, securing with the lower end of the at least one segment, to provide closure for the container bottom, and a top closure, securing with the top edge of the at least one segment of the container, to provide for closure at the top of the container for any liquid contained therein. 
     
     
         22 . The sectionalized fluids container of  claim 21 , wherein said bottom closure and said top closure are threadily engaged with the at least one segment of the sectionalized fluids container.
