Mixer for a sports and water bottle
Improvements in an agitator is disclosed. The agitator has a central body with sides that have blades that flex or bend inward upon insertion and then expand once the pass through the neck of the bottle. The side are elongated and allows the mixer to have an orientation within the bottle. The orientation allows for a buoyancy of the mixer to break-up powder or fruit that typically floats on the surface of the liquid. The side elements can cut into fruit and pulverize power to blend the ingredient(s). A carrier or case for the mixer provides a container for the mixer to dry and further collects and water from the mixer. A removal hook allows a user to snag one of the ends or a side element. The side flexing elements of the mixer will bend inward to pass the mixer out the neck of the bottle.
Smart container with illumination source
A smart container capable of illuminating, mixing, blending, warming and dispensing media comprising glow-in-the-dark substances, cosmetics, masks, scrubs, lotions and oils to be applied to the body, the control of which is accomplished either by the container, or a smart device such as a phone, tablet, computer or smart watch. Either of the smart device or container being capable of independently recording video, audio, still photos and full capability live streaming of the use of said media or controlling the other to perform the same functions, either or both in any combination allowing the sharing of said recordings, audio or video or said live streaming content on social media platforms as directed by the user.

Fruit flavoring in the image of a fruit portion for introduction into a vessel for flavoring a fluid
An apparatus and method are provided for storing and dispensing into a liquid a soluble substance, such as a flavoring, a body fuel, a nutritional supplement, a stimulant, a relaxant, an alcohol neutralizer, or a medical drug. A useful application of the subject invention includes a lime flavoring held by a gelatinous artificial lime wedge stored with a beer bottle or can, or attached to a 6-pack or 12-pack carton. The artificial lime wedge may be retrieved from a protective covering and acted upon so it mixes the lime flavoring into the beer when it is inserted into the beer bottle or can. Rather than needing to buy and store a perishable natural lime, and cut it up, an artificial lime wedge may be stored for an extended period of time with a beer vessel and placed in functional contact with the beer at time of consumption.

Sports and/or mixing bottle
A sports bottle is described. The bottle includes a hollow body comprising a housing having a peripheral wall, a cylindrical drink holding chamber inside the peripheral wall; a plurality of mixing chamber in fluid communication with the drink holding chamber, each one of the mixing chambers being hemispherical chambers at opposed ends of the cylindrical drink holding chamber; and an outlet for dispensing drink from the drink holding chamber, the outlet being disposed on an outside of one of the mixing chambers and in fluid communication therewith. Also described is a sports bottle including a hollow body comprising a housing having a peripheral wall, a drink holding chamber inside the peripheral wall; an outlet for dispensing drink from the drink holding chamber, the outlet being disposed on an outside of the peripheral wall and in fluid communication with the drink holding chamber, a hold for storing solid nutrition supplements, the hold comprising a plurality of supplement chambers being separated from the drink holding chamber and disposed within the peripheral wall; and a supplement chamber selector to facilitate access through the peripheral wall to a selected one or more of the supplement chambers.

METERED DUAL-CHAMBERED DRINKING AND DISPENSING ACCESSORY AND METHOD OF USE
A dispenser to dispense a liquid in two or more metered portions. The dispenser has a flexible main reservoir with fluid connections to two or more smaller metered dispensing reservoirs. Each reservoir has a spout and can be sealed via a threaded cap. When a user loosens or removes the cap of the metered dispensing reservoir(s) and squeezes the flexible main reservoir, metered portions of liquid are delivered to each metered reservoir which can be dispensed and/or consumed directly. Such dispensing or consumption can be controlled to occur simultaneously or individually via removal of each cap and inversion of the dispenser. Each reservoir may feature specialized contours, volumetric indicators, angled spouts, and other improvements.

PRESSURE EQUALIZATION APPARATUS FOR A BOTTLE AND METHODS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH
A device that assists with equalizing air pressure within a bottle with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the bottle and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The air tubes are situated with an upper inlet rim of the air tubes located flush with or relatively near the bottle rim. Whether an insert or integrated into the manufacture of a container, the one or more air tubes that extend partially into the container allow air to pass into the container as the liquid exits the container. The pressure equalizer not only minimizes or prevents the common glugging effect, but it allows liquid from a bottle to be poured smoothly at any angle and orientation. A cap incorporating a detachable pressure equalizer is also described.
