Bottle with modular handle and closure

Abstract

A container for holding fluid that may comprise a bottle, a cap, and a handle. The bottle may include a cavity configured to hold a volume of liquid, a body forming the cavity, a first set of threads on the body, and a second set of threads on the body. The cap may have a set of cap threads configured to mate with the first set of threads. The handle may have a set of handle threads configured to mate with the second set of threads.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container for holding fluid, comprising:
 a bottle including:
 a cavity configured to hold a volume of liquid, 
 an inner wall having a first set of threads, and 
 an outer wall having a second set of threads; wherein the inner and outer walls define the cavity; 
   a cap having a set of cap threads configured to mate with the first set of threads; and   a handle having a set of handle threads configured to mate with the second set of threads.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the set of cap threads are mated with the first set of threads and the set of handle threads are mated with the second set of threads in an attached position. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the set of handle threads are mated with the second set of threads and the set of cap threads are not mated with the first set of threads in an attached position. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein the handle and bottle are oriented substantially perpendicular relative to each other. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the set of cap threads are mated with the first set of threads and the set of handle threads are not mated with the second set of threads in an attached position. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the cap and handle are releasably attached to the bottle in at least a first attached position, a second attached position, and a third attached position,
 the first attached position being when the set of cap threads are mated with the first set of threads and the set of handle threads are mated with the second set of threads,   the second attached position being when the set of handle threads are mated with the second set of threads and the set of cap threads are not mated with the first set of threads, and   the third attached position being when the set of cap threads are mated with the first set of threads and the set of handle threads are not mated with the second set of threads.   
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 6 , wherein the cap is disposed proximate an opening of the cavity relative to the handle when the cap is in a closed position and the handle is in an attached position. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 7 , wherein the first set of threads are disposed proximate an opening of the cavity. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the second set of threads are disposed proximate the opening of the cavity. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 9 , wherein the first set of threads are disposed on the inner wall generally opposite the second set of threads on the outer wall. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein the first set of threads are arranged in a staggered pattern relative to the second set of threads. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 11 , wherein the second set of threads includes a first thread of the second set of threads disposed substantially between a first thread and a second thread of the first set of threads. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the cap includes a plurality of elongate voids substantially removed of air. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the cap includes a sealing member configured to form a seal between the cap and bottle when the cap is in a closed position. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 14 , wherein the sealing member is a gasket. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the handle includes an elongated member extending from an attachment portion of the handle, and the second set of threads are disposed on the attachment portion. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 16 , wherein the elongated member forms a closed loop. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the outer wall includes a lip disposed between an opening of the cavity and the second set of threads, and the lip abuts a portion of the handle when the handle is in an attached position. 
     
     
         19 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the bottle includes a void at least partially disposed between the inner and outer walls, the void is substantially removed of air, and the inner and outer walls are made of stainless steel. 
     
     
         20 . A container for holding fluid, comprising:
 a bottle including:
 a cavity configured to hold a volume of liquid, 
 a body forming the cavity, 
 a first set of threads on the body, and 
 a second set of threads on the body; 
   a cap having a set of cap threads configured to mate with the first set of threads; and   a handle having a set of handle threads configured to mate with the second set of threads.
