Abstract
A collapsible beverage containment assembly includes a bottle. The bottle has an outer wall extending between a top end and a bottom end of the bottle to contain a carbonated fluid. The outer wall is structured such that the bottle is collapsible. A sleeve is coupled to the bottom end. The sleeve is positioned within an interior of the bottle. A lid is movably coupled to the top end so the lid may be rotated. A screw is coupled to the lid such that the screw extends downwardly into the bottle. The screw engages the sleeve. Thus, the outer wall is collapsed when the lid is rotated to reduce a volume of the bottle, preserving the carbonation in the carbonated beverage.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A collapsible beverage containment assembly comprising:
a bottle, said bottle having an outer wall extending between a top end and a bottom end of said bottle wherein said bottle is configured to contain a carbonated fluid, said outer wall being structured such that said bottle is collapsible; a sleeve coupled to said bottom end wherein said sleeve is positioned within an interior of said bottle; a lid movably coupled to said top end wherein said lid is configured to be rotated; a screw coupled to said lid such that said screw extends downwardly into said bottle, said screw engaging said sleeve such that said outer wall is collapsed when said lid is rotated to reduce a volume of said bottle wherein said bottle is configured to preserve the carbonation in the carbonated beverage.
2 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said outer wall having a plurality of folds extending around an entire perimeter of said outer wall, said folds being centrally positioned between said top end and said bottom end to facilitate said bottle being positionable in a collapsed position such that said folds are compressed having said top end being positioned proximate said bottom end to reduce a volume of said bottle, said bottle being positionable in an extended position such that said folds are expanded having said top end being spaced apart from said bottom end to increase a volume of said bottle.
3 . The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein said sleeve having an upper end and a lower end, said sleeve being elongated, said upper end being open, said sleeve being substantially hollow, said lower end being coupled to a top surface of said bottom end such that said sleeve extends upwardly from said bottom end, said sleeve being centrally positioned within said bottle.
4 . The assembly according to claim 3 , wherein said lid having an outer edge extending between an uppermost side and a lowermost side of said lid, said lowermost side being rotatably coupled to said top end.
5 . The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein said screw having an outer surface extending between a topmost end and a bottommost end, said outer surface of said screw being threaded between said topmost end and said bottommost end, said topmost end being coupled to said lowermost side of said lid, said upper end of said sleeve insertably receiving said bottommost end such that said outer surface of said screw threadably engages said sleeve.
6 . The assembly according to claim 4 , further comprising a dispenser, said dispenser having a coupled end and a free end, said coupled end being coupled to said uppermost side of said lid such that said dispenser is in fluid communication with said interior of said bottle wherein said dispenser is configured to dispense the carbonated fluid from said bottle.
7 . A collapsible beverage containment assembly comprising:
a bottle, said bottle having an outer wall extending between a top end and a bottom end of said bottle wherein said bottle is configured to contain a carbonated fluid, said outer wall having a plurality of folds extending around an entire perimeter of said outer wall, said folds being centrally positioned between said top end and said bottom end, said bottle being positionable in a collapsed position such that said folds are compressed having said top end being positioned proximate said bottom end to reduce a volume of said bottle wherein said bottle is configured to preserve the carbonation in the carbonated beverage, said bottle being positionable in an extended position such that said folds are expanded having said top end being spaced apart from said bottom end to increase a volume of said bottle; a sleeve, said sleeve having an upper end and a lower end, said sleeve being elongated, said upper end being open, said sleeve being substantially hollow, said lower end being coupled to a top surface of said bottom end such that said sleeve extends upwardly from said bottom end; a lid, said lid having an outer edge extending between an uppermost side and a lowermost side of said lid, said lowermost side being rotatably coupled to said top end wherein said lid is configured to be rotated; a screw, said screw having an outer surface extending between a topmost end and a bottommost end, said outer surface of said screw being threaded between said topmost end and said bottommost end, said topmost end being coupled to said lowermost side of said lid, said upper end of said sleeve insertably receiving said bottommost end such that said outer surface of said screw threadably engages said sleeve, said bottle being positioned in said collapsed position when said lid is rotated in a first direction, said bottle being positioned in said expanded position when said lid is rotated in a second direction; and a dispenser, said dispenser having a coupled end and a free end, said coupled end being coupled to said uppermost side of said lid such that said dispenser is in fluid communication with said interior of said bottle wherein said dispenser is configured to dispense the carbonated fluid from said bottle.Cited by (0)
