Abstract

The invention relates to a closure device (3) for a drinking container (1) with an interior space (10) for receiving a drinking liquid and a container opening preferably arranged on the top side, into which container opening the closure device (3) with a receiving chamber (4) is provided, the contents of which can be introduced into the interior space (10). The invention is characterized in that the closure device (3) has an externally threaded part (5) at least in the upper area, which, with a lower cover surface (6) and connection elements (8) lying therebetween, forms a receiving chamber (4) which at least in the bottom area comprises an introduction opening (14). Thereby the contents of the receiving chamber (4) is freely releasable by a turning-in process. The drinking container preferably serves for the preparation of an unstable mixed beverage of creatine powder and an aqueous drinking solution.

Claims

1. Closure device for a drinking container (1) with an interior space (10) for receiving a drinking liquid and a container opening preferably arranged on the top side, in which opening the closure device (3) with at least one receiving chamber (4) is provided, the contents of which can be introduced into the interior space (10), whereby the closure device (3) has a threaded part (5) at least in the upper area, which, with a lower cover surface (6), forms the receiving chamber (4) which at least in the lower area comprises an introduction opening (14), through which the contents of the receiving chamber (4) is freely releasable into the interior space (10) by a turning-in process, characterized in that the lower cover surface (6) is embodied as an unthreaded floor plate, of which the outer rim comprises a sealing ring surface (7), which in the closed condition lies in contact on a bottle neck wall surrounding the receiving chamber (4) or a surrounding adapter wall (20).

2. Closure device according to claim 1, characterized in that the floor plate (6) is embodied with a round circular shape and comprises on the circumference a sealing ring surface (7), of which the diameter corresponds to at least the diameter of the internal threading (2) of the bottle neck or at least the inner diameter of the adapter part (15).

12. Closure device according to claim 1, characterized in that the sealing ring surface (7) is embodied as a rounded-off or flat seal surface (23).

13. Closure device according to claim 12, characterized in that the rounded-off seal surface is formed by an O-ring seal, which is fixed in a groove of the floor plate (6).

14. Closure device according to claim 1, characterized in that connection struts (8) or threaded struts are arranged as connection elements between the upper threaded part (5) and the floor plate (6).

15. Closure device according to claim 1, characterized in that a ball- or cone-like elevation (9) in the direction of the upper threaded part (5) is arranged on the lower floor plate (6).

16. Closure device according to claim 1, characterized in that a mouthpiece (11) is arranged on the upper threaded part (5), and the mouthpiece comprises a drinking opening from the outside to the receiving chamber (4).

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

18. Closure device according to claim 1, characterized in that an adapter piece (15) is arranged between a drinking bottle (1) with an external threading (21), a drinking bottle (1) with an internal threading (2), a drinking bottle (1) with a rounded-off bottle neck rim, or a drinking bottle (1) with an inner press-on connection, and a closure device (3) of the upper threaded part (5) and the lower floor plate (6).

19. Closure device according to claim 18, characterized in that the closure device (3) of the upper threaded part (5) and the lower floor plate (6) is receivable by an internal threading (17) of a cylinder-shaped inner part (16) of the adapter piece (15), and that the adapter piece (15) at the top has an outwardly flaring rim part (18) with a smooth inner part, an enlarged internal threading (19) or a snap rim for securing on a rounded-off bottle neck.

20. Closure device according to claim 19, characterized in that the adapter piece (15) is embodied as a synthetic plastic injection molded part or a metal part.

21. Closure device according to claim 18, characterized in that the adapter piece (15) is embodied as a synthetic plastic injection molded part or a metal part.
