DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

(7) Although specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, it should be understood that such embodiments are by way of example only and merely illustrative of but a small number of the many possible specific embodiments which can represent applications of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications obvious to one skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains are deemed to be within the spirit, scope and contemplation of the present invention as further defined in the appended claims.

(8) Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the present invention drink and mist bottle cap 10 comprises an exterior cap 310, a drink spout cap 50, a first semicircular battery housing 102 and a second semicircular battery housing 142 with said first semicircular battery housing 102 having an interior concaved surface 104 and said first semicircular battery housing 102 having a first end 106 having two female openings 108 and 110 sized to receive two male protrusions 144 and 146 affixed to a first end 148 of second semicircular battery housing 142.

(9) Said second semicircular battery housing 142 has a second end 150 having one male protrusion 152 sized to mate with one female opening 132 on second end 116 of first semicircular battery housing 102. Said Interior concaved surface 104 further comprises a first vertical wall 112 a second vertical wall 114, and a horizontal wall 116 extending from said concaved Interior surface 104 with said first vertical wall 112 and said second vertical wall 114 sized to receive a battery 300.

(10) Semicircular battery housing 102 further comprises a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Port Housing 160 having a first circular opening 162, a second horizontal oval opening 164, and a third vertical oval opening 166. The USB Port allows a user to recharge the battery for misting operations. Said USB Port housing is further sized to receive a USB Port water resistant cover 200 having a first frustrum protrusion 202, a second horizontal oval protrusion 204, and a third vertical oval protrusion 206. This forms a water-resistant closure to protect the battery during use but allows user to open for recharging of the battery.

(11) Further referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, said exterior cap 310 has an exterior surface 316, and integrally formed drink spout 312 with said exterior surface 316 having an opening of equal size to nozzle fitting 400. Said nozzle fitting 400 further contains an opening 402 sized to receive removable nozzle 420. Said exterior cap 310 further comprises an upper portion having a concave section 320 sized to receive handle 450 having a convex portion. Rotatable Handle 450 forms a smooth connection to Exterior cap 310 when in the down position. Said handle 450 further comprises a first end 454 and a second end 456 with both first end 454 and second end 456 having a circular opening 460 sized to receive female hinge pin 470. Said female hinge pin 470 has an opening 472 sized to mate and accept male hinge pin 480 to rotatable affix handle 450 to said exterior cap 310.

(12) The present invention drink and mist bottle cap 10, further includes a tether 500 having an opening 502 that is sized to receive said female hinge pin 470 and a cylindrically shaped integrally formed pump housing 600 having an exterior surface 602 and an interior chamber 604 sized to receive pump 650. Said pump housing 600 further has a lower portion 610 having an outlet 612 that is direct connection with first end 642 of intake tube 640. Said intake tube 640 has a lower portion 644 that connects to intake weighted strainer 660. During use the drink and mist bottle cap 10 removable attaches to a separate container (not illustrated) to allow a user to drink or mist. Said Exterior Cap 310 has a lower portion that contains a universal thread 315 for mating with various external bottles. A user can activate the pump by pressing the on/off actuator (also referred to as actuator, or pump actuator) 190. The actuator 190 is controlled by a printed circuit board. Actuator 190 receives a signal from a printed circuit board to turn the pump off by command, turn the pump off if actuator not used after 60 seconds, or control the speed of the pump.

(13) It also understood that an adapter can be used for mating with various diameters for the external bottles. Then, the user may drink by opening the drink spout. Or, the user may activate the misting operation by pressing the pump actuator. When the pump actuator is pressed, the pump is activated causing water to be pulled from the lower container through the tubing to the mist nozzle where the water molecules are atomized to form a mist for the user.
