Multi-Functional Water Bottle

Abstract

A multi-functional apparatus for carrying liquid has a container having a solar panel, a battery, a lid for opening the container, a middle portion enclosing the container, and a bottom portion; wherein the solar panel charges the battery, which may be used for providing LED lighting or for charging electronic devices.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container apparatus for carry a liquid, the apparatus comprising:
 a base accommodating at least one battery, wherein the battery is coupled to a port for interfacing with an electronic device;   a reservoir coupled to the base, wherein the reservoir is at least partially surrounded by at least one flexible solar panel, wherein the flexible solar panel is electrically coupled to the battery;   a lid portion coupled to the reservoir allowing selective access to the interior of the reservoir.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a light coupled to and powered by the battery. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the light is removable. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the light is an LED light configured to interact with the reservoir to create a lantern effect when the LED light illuminate a fluid contained within the reservoir. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the base stores an electrical device having a circuit board wherein the base houses the electrical device, the at least one battery within the housing. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid further comprises a filter. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the port is a USB port. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid portion further comprises a filter wherein the filter is used to filter liquid wherein the filter is inserted into the reservoir to purify the liquid. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the filter is a standalone filter or a filter attached to the lid. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a storage container. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid further comprises an aperture for receiving a cord and/or carabiner, and a liquid dispenser release button wherein the liquid dispenser release button is pushed to reveal a water dispenser accommodating the user to access a liquid within the reservoir. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein multi-functional container apparatus is made of food grade plastics, metals, rubber, and carbon fibers. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible solar panel is removably attached to the reservoir. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an insulative cover at least partially surrounding the reservoir. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein the flexible solar panel is the insulative cover. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the base is removably attached to the reservoir. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible solar panel is extendable away from the reservoir. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the port is selected from the group consisting of a USB port, a micro-USB port, a lightning port and a wireless interface port. 
     
     
         19 . An accessory apparatus for use with a liquid container comprising:
 a flexible solar panel, a battery, and a port for interfacing with an electronic device coupled to the battery; and   a connector to connect the accessory apparatus to the liquid container.   
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the connector is a threaded portion configured to interact with an existing threaded portion of the liquid container.
