    摘要: Beverage additives and additive delivery systems including an additive with relatively low pH, specific gravity and/or viscosity can aid in mixing with a base liquid or other flow performance while producing a suitably tart or otherwise flavored beverage are disclosed. Methods of mixing and forming a beverage including water, an additive, an acidulant and a flavor system are disclosed.

    摘要: FIG. 1 is a top, front, right side perspective view of a container showing a first embodiment of our new design;
    FIG. 2 is a bottom, rear, left side perspective view thereof;
    FIG. 3 is a front elevation view thereof;
    FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof ;
    FIG. 5 is a left side elevation view thereof;
    FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view thereof;
    FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof; and,
    FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof.
    The broken lines with short dashes alternating between long dashes define the bounds of the claimed design and form no part thereof. The broken lines with uniform dashes illustrate portions of the environment that form no part of the claimed design.
    Shading lines shown in the drawings represent surface contours, or transparency, translucency or opacity, and not surface ornamentation, and such lines, in and of themselves are not part of the claimed design. The shading lines on the surface defined by the elongate vertical slot on the front of the container represent transparency, translucency, or opacity and not surface ornamentation, and such lines, in an of themselves are not part of the claimed design.

    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.

    摘要: A portable carbonating dispenser utilizes an onboard supply of carbonation gas and a carbonation control module for permitting a user to carbonate base liquid stored in an onboard base liquid container. The carbonation control module may include a user actuated button for selectively activating the carbonation. The base liquid container may include an extended portion for increasing the exposure of base liquid to carbonation gas. A vertical viewing window enables a user to view carbonation and the level of base liquid in the container. An isolation component may be useful to isolate an additive cartridge from carbonation pressure during carbonation in applications where the dispenser utilizes additive cartridges. Safety venting and locking features may be provided on the mode selector to prevent a user from accidentally pressurizing the cartridge space. A refill station may be provided to refill the portable carbonating dispenser.

    摘要: A filtration system is adapted for use and integration with cartridge-based beverage dispensing systems that mix an additive (flavor) with a base liquid (water) as the base liquid is dispensed from a container and through the cartridge. A support frame may support an annular charcoal fabric filter element secured with an end cap and defining an inner cavity to house and surround a portion of the cartridge. A filter cage may enclose the filter element. The support frame may include a bayonet-type connector to secure the filter assembly to a container lid. Base liquid flowing from the container and through the cartridge necessarily flows first through the filter element as a user drinks from the container. Related methods for assembling the filter assembly and installing the filter assembly on a cartridge/lid assembly are also disclosed.
