ADDITIVE DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND CONTAINERS

摘要

A compact filtering and additive delivery system which is readily adaptable to a portable container, such as a sports bottle, and receives a modular additive container for the metered delivery of additive, such as flavor concentrate, to a stream of base liquid as the base liquid is drawn or dispensed from the container. The modular additive container configuration on the delivery system allows a consumer/user to experience different additives, such as different flavors or supplement compositions, for a given supply of base liquid, such as water, stored in the container. The system may be readily used with off-the-shelf containers, such as disposable water bottles. An additive container configuration provides modular additive delivery system as described herein.

主权项

1. An additive delivery system comprising:
an upper cap assembly; a lower cap assembly cooperating with the upper cap assembly to define an additive module containing space; a delivery tube for permitting flow of a base liquid through the additive module containing space, the delivery tube extending within the module containing space and including at least one metering port to permit flow from the module containing space to an interior of the delivery tube; whereby flow of a base liquid in the delivery tube may draw additive through the at least one metering port for mixing therewith as the base liquid flows within the delivery tube.
