Stacked Magnet Weighted Water Bottle

CROSS REFERENCE

[0001]The present Non-Provisional patent application claims reference to the U.S. Provisional patent application filed Jan. 3, 2025 by David Clemons Jr. under the same title Stacking Magnet Weighted Water Bottle in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

[0002]Insulated water bottles are a popular personal item necessary to stay hydrated in many climes. However, insulated water bottles are bulky and tend to tip over especially when fully loaded. Tipping insulated water bottles can create a large clanking sound and disturbances in meetings and formal gatherings. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem. An apparatus to stabilize a water bottle during use is needed in the consumer market for home use and professional uses.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003]The disclosed Stacking Magnetic Weighted Water Bottle provides users with the ability to decide how much magnetic sticking ability their water bottle has to metallic surfaces and how much weight it has to non-metallic surfaces. The disclosure does all of this by providing magnets which successively attach to each other on a bottom of a water bottle or insulated beverage glass/bottle. A single magnet attached to the bottom of the water bottle provides a first magnetic attraction to metallic surfaces and also provides a first weightedness to non-metallic surfaces.

[0004]By simply adding another magnet to a bottom of the first magnet on the water bottle bottom, a second magnetic attraction stronger than the first magnetic attraction is provided. Similarly, simply adding another magnet to the bottom of the first magnet on the water bottle bottom, also increases a weight of the water bottle onto non-magnetic surfaces. This is accomplished in multiple ways as disclosed herein including threaded attachment to the bottom of the water bottle/insulated beverage glass and threaded attachment of subsequent magnets onto existing bottom magnets.

[0005]The disclosed water bottle includes a cylindrical body comprising a bottom and a top lid, a first magnet in a thick disk shape comprising a top side, a bottom side and a cylindrical side and configured to permanently attach to the bottom of the cylindrical body via the top side of the first magnet. A second magnet in a thick disk shape includes a top side, a bottom side and a cylindrical side configured to temporarily attach to the bottom side of the first magnet via the top side of the second magnet.

[0006]Other embodiments include a threaded attachment to the bottom of the water bottle/insulated beverage glass and a magnetic attachment of subsequent magnets onto the existing bottom magnet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014]Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0015]FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of the Stacked Magnet Weighted Water Bottle in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The view includes the water bottle A, the handle B, the rough material for a good grip C, the strong magnet base D, the second strong magnet D2 and the third strong magnet D3. Though only three base magnets are shown adjacent each other of equal thickness, more than three magnets are used of different thicknesses in embodiments of the disclosure. Also, the thread T1 attaches the strong magnet D1 to the base of the water bottle A. The thread T2 attaches the strong magnet D2 to the base of the strong magnet D1. Similarly, the thread T3 attaches the strong magnet D3 on to the base of the strong magnet D2 and so forth according to the users preferences and needs. Magnetic field lines M are indicated flowing from north to south poles.

[0016]Alternatively, after the first thread T1 attaches the first strong magnet D1 onto the bottom of the water bottle or insulated beverage container, the subsequent magnets are attached via a North Pole and South Pole orientation without the use of threaded attachments.

[0017]FIG. 2 is a side view of the stacking magnets attached to the water bottle via helical threads in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The view includes magnetic disk D1, D2 and helical threads T configured to attach the magnet stack to the bottom of the water bottle. The matching polarity magnetic fields are indicated with a broken line and arrows. Magnetic field lines M are indicated flowing from north to south poles.

[0018]FIG. 3 is a side view of the stacking magnets wherein the first magnet is attached to the water bottle flat bottom via adhesives and magnetic fields in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The view includes the disk magnets D1 and D2 and the adhesive layer G configured to attach the magnet stack to the bottom of the cylindrical body of the water bottle. The matching polarity magnetic fields are indicated with a broken line and arrows. Magnetic field lines M are indicated flowing from north to south poles.

[0019]FIG. 4 is a side view of the stacking magnets attached to a metal water bottle and to each other via complementary magnetic field polarity in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. A third magnet D3 is added to the magnet disk stack by a matching polarity magnetic field as indicated with broken lines and arrows. Complementary concavity and convexity are also depicted in the three magnet disks and the bottom of the cylindrical body of the water bottle. Magnetic field lines M are indicated flowing from north to south poles.

[0020]FIG. 5 is a side view of the stacking magnets attached to the water bottle via a post and hole in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The view includes the post and hole PH attachment of the magnet stack to the bottom of the cylindrical body of the water bottle. Magnetic fields aligning polarities of the magnetic disks are also indicated with broken lines and arrows. Magnetic field lines M are indicated flowing from north to south poles.

[0021]FIG. 6 is a bottom view of the stacking magnets in annular form in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The stacking magnets D2, and D3 are annular in the present embodiment but are also filled in disks similar to a puck in other embodiments. D1 is also annular in embodiments not requiring a post and hole attachment to the water bottle. The annular embodiment allows for a moist or wet surface traction for the hollow center HC and also the magnetic field lines converge through the center HC to the aggregated north and south poles. The view also includes a circumferential groove G in the bottom of the respective disk 1 D1, disk 2 D2 and disk 3 for traction on slippery and wet surfaces where the water bottle is settled.

[0022]Embodiments of the Stacked Magnet Weighted Water Bottle, include the bottom of the cylindrical body having a lip on a perimeter of the bottom and a helical threading on an inside surface of the lip adjacent the bottom. Therefore, the first magnet has a helical threading in the cylindrical side adjacent the top side configured to attach to the inside threading of the bottom lip of the cylindrical body.

[0023]Further embodiments include the bottom side of the first magnet having a concavity. Therefore, the top side of the second magnet further comprises a convexity complementary to the first magnet bottom side concavity. Not only do the first magnet and the second magnet concentrically attach via complementary magnetic poles but are structurally strengthened and aligned via complementary matching surfaces such as convex and concave surfaces. However, the present disclosure also includes embodiments of the first magnet and the second magnet each having a flat top side and a flat bottom side and concentrically attach via complementary magnetic poles.

[0024]Therefore, the present disclosure includes both the bottom of the cylindrical body being flat and being concave or convex where the top side of the first magnet comprises a convexity complementary to the concavity of the cylindrical body bottom.

[0025]To increase the magnetic field of the weighted bottom of the present water bottle, a third magnet is configured to attach to the bottom side of the second magnet. The third magnet attaches to the second magnet via a complementary magnetic polarity. The third magnet also attaches to the second magnet via a complementary interlocking bottom side of the second magnet to the top side of the third magnet including post and hole and hook and loop attachments.

[0026]Although the operations of the method(s) herein are shown and described in a particular order, the order of the operations of each method may be altered so that certain operations may be performed in an inverse order or so that certain operations may be performed, at least in part, concurrently with other operations. In another embodiment, instructions or sub-operations of distinct operations may be implemented in an intermittent and/or alternating manner.
