发明名称 Bottle with storable flexible spout
摘要 A bottle has a flexible spout and a cap/cover configuration that effectively seals the spout from leakage and stores it under the cover. The flexible spout is folded or bent in two locations as it is secured within the cover. The flexible spout is folded over from an extended orientation and then around a fold partition. The cover is detachably attached to the cap. A diaphragm extends under the cap and seals liquid within the enclosure. In one embodiment, the cover and cap are configured with a ratchet mechanism that allows the cover to rotate in only one direction. In one embodiment, the bottle comprises two enclosures, and the enclosures may be detachably attached to each other or to a handle.

主权项 1. A bottle comprising: a) at least one enclosure having an opening; b) a detachably attachable cap configured to be attached to said bottle over said opening comprising: i) an inside surface;ii) an outside surface;iii) a perimeter,iv) a cap face comprising: 1. a spout section;2. a fold section; and3. a cover section;v) a spout aperture that extends from an outside surface to the inside surface;vi) a closure partition that extends up from said cap face and across said cap face from a first side to a second side and between said cover section, and said spout and said fold sections of the cap;vii) a fold partition that extends up from said cap face and is configured between the spout section and fold section; c) a cover configured to cover a portion of said cap and configured to rotate from a closed position to an open position and comprising an inside perimeter wall that extends circumferentially around a top portion of the cover; d) a flexible spout coupled to said cap in said spout section and having an extended end, an exposed length from the spout aperture to the extended end, an overall length and length axis; e) a handle comprising: i) a first handle extension comprising an extension attachment feature;ii) a second handle extension comprising an extension attachment feature; andiii) a grip portion; and wherein the bottle comprises an extension bottle attachment feature configured on a bottom of said bottle; wherein the enclosure is detachably attachable to said handle; wherein the grip portion is configured above the opening of the enclosure; and wherein the first and second extensions extend down around opposing sides of the enclosure and under the bottom of the at least one enclosure where the extension attachment features detachably attach to the bottle extension attachment feature on the bottom of the bottle; wherein said cover is configured to rotate from an open position, wherein the spout section is not covered, to a closed position, wherein said cover is configured over the spout section;whereby when said cover rotates from an open position to a closed position, said cover intersects with said spout and folds said spout, at the spout aperture, to align said exposed length of the flexible spout to be parallel with and tangential to the outside surface of the cap face, wherein the spout is folded from a substantially perpendicular orientation to the cap face to a substantially parallel orientation to the cap face, andwhereby further rotation of said cover creates a second fold in the spout that is located along an exposed length of the spout and about said fold partition,wherein in the closed position, the spout is retained under the cover with the extended end of said spout in the fold section of said cap and wherein the spout extends from the spout aperture along the cap face and through a space between the fold partition and the inside perimeter wall of the cover such that a fold of the flexible spout about the fold partition is in a radial direction to a direction of rotation of the cover;wherein in the closed position, the spout is folded in two separate locations, at the spout aperture and around the fold partition and whereby the spout is retained in a retained configuration under the cover with the length axis substantially parallel with the cap face and the portion of the spout along the exposed length being configured along the cap face.
