Abstract

The invention relates to a drinking container with an interior space (5) for receiving a drinking liquid (14) and a container opening (4) preferably arranged on the top side, into which a closure device (3) with a receiving chamber (9) is provided, the content of which is introducible into the interior space (5). The invention is characterized in that the closure device (3) has an externally threaded part (6) at least in the upper area, which forms a receiving chamber (9) with a bottom cover surface (7) and connection elements (8) disposed therebetween, and the receiving chamber (9) has an introduction opening (22) at least in the bottom area. In that regard, the content of the receiving chamber (9) is releasable by a turning-in process. The drinking container preferably serves for the preparation of an unstable mixed drink of creatine powder (13) and an aqueous drinking solution (14).

Claims

1. Drinking container with an interior space (5) for receiving a drinking liquid (14) and a container opening (4) preferably arranged on the top side, in which opening a closure device (3) with at least one receiving chamber (9) is provided, the content of which can be introduced into the interior space (5), characterized in that the closure device (3) has a threaded part (6) at least in the upper area, which, with a bottom cover surface or a bottom threaded part (7), forms the receiving chamber (9), which at least in the bottom area comprises an introduction opening (22), through which the content of the receiving chamber (9) is freely releasable into the interior space (5) by a screwing-in process.

2. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that this is embodied as a drinking bottle (1) for receiving a drinking liquid (14), and an internal threading (2) is provided in the container opening (4) of the drinking bottle.

14. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that the drinking container (1) consists of glass, metal or a synthetic plastic.

15. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that the closure device (3) comprises at least one upper (6) and as a cover surface one lower threaded part (7), between which the receiving chamber (9) with at least one introduction opening (22) is provided.

16. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that connection studs (8) or threaded studs are arranged as connection elements between the upper (6) and the lower threaded part (7), which connection elements at least in the area of the lower threaded part (7) or the cover surface comprise an introduction opening (22).

17. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that the receiving chamber (9) of the closure device (3) is bounded at the top by the upper (6) and at the bottom by the lower threaded part (7) or the cover surface, and a ball-like or cone-like elevation (10) in the direction of the upper threaded part (6) is arranged on the lower threaded part (7) or the cover surface.

18. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that for the closure device (3) a mouthpiece (15) is arranged on the upper threaded part (6), and the mouthpiece (15) comprises a drinking opening from the outside to the receiving chamber (9).

19. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that the closure device (3) is embodied as a synthetic plastic injection molded part.

20. Drinking container according to claim 1, characterized in that an adapter piece (16) is arranged as part of the closure device (3) between a drinking container with an external threading, a rounded rim or a press-on bottle throat.

21. Drinking container according to claim 20, characterized in that the adapter piece (16) comprises a cylinder-shaped inner part (20) with an internal threading (17) for receiving the closure device (3), and at the top has an outwardly flaring rim part (18) with an enlarged internal threading (19) or a snap rim for securing onto a bottle round rim.

22. Drinking container according to claim 20, characterized that the adapter piece (16) is embodied as a synthetic plastic injection molded part or a metal part.

23. Method for the preparation of a creatine mixed drink of a prescribed quantity of a creatine powder (13) and an aqueous drinking solution (14) with a drinking container according to claim 1, in which first the aqueous drinking solution (14) is filled into the interior space (5) of the container, the closure device (3) is turned in, and the creatine powder (13) is filled into the receiving chamber (9) and this is closed to the outside, and when needed the closure device (3) is turned-in so long until the introduction opening releases the creatine powder (13) to the interior space (5) and thereafter the mixture is shaken.

24. Use of a drinking container according claim 1 for the preparation of a creatine mixed drink of an aqueous solution (14) and a prescribed quantity of a creatine powder (13).
