Claims
I claim:
1. A syphon liquor flask comprising a flask having an externally
threaded neck at its upper end with an opening therethrough
including an internally threaded cap mounted on said neck, said cap
having a hole therethrough in alignment with and smaller than the
said opening in combination with a tube mounted axially in the said
hole extending axially through the opening to the bottom of the
flask and including a flexible hose attached externally to the cap
in axial communication with the hole and said tube wherein the tube
is threadedly mounted in the cap opening and includes lateral
openings at predetermined elevations in the flask and wherein the
hose is slidably fitted in said tube, and has an outer end external
of said cap, including a fitting mounted at said outer end, said
fitting having external threads adapted to be threadedly attached
in the cap hole and an outer tubular hose adapted to receive a
nipple.
Description
This invention relates generally to liquor flasks.
A principal object of the present invention is to provide a liquor
flask which will permit drinking therefrom in a concealed manner
while in public so as to not be socially in error.
Another object is to provide a drinking flask from which liquor can
be imbibed without the necessity of tilting the flask to a person's
lip whereby observers would readily recognize that a person is
drinking.
Another object is to provide a drinking flask which incorporates a
syphon hose so that a person may draw liquor from the flask into
his mouth while the flask is positioned away from the drinker's
lips.
Another object is to provide a syphon liquor flask which may be
positioned either at a higher elevation or lower elevation
respective to a drinker's lips.
Other objects are to provide a syphon liquor flask which is simple
in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy
to use and efficient in operation.
These and other objects will be readily evident upon a study of the
following specification and the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of one form of the present
invention;
FIG. 2 is a similar view of a modified form thereof;
FIG. 3 is a similar view of yet another modified form thereof.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, the reference numeral 10
represents a syphon liquor flask according to the present invention
wherein there is shown in FIG. 1, a flask 11 for containing liquor
12, the flask having an externally threaded neck 13 at its upper
end, the neck having an opening 14 therethrough. An internally
threaded cap 15 is removably secured thereto for refilling purpose,
the cap having integral downward extending tube 16 which reaches to
the bottom within the flask. An integral external tube 17 is
secured at one end to the cap, the opposite end having a nipple 18
with opening 19 therethrough. A replacable cap 20 may be fitted
over the nipple to close the same when not in use.
In operative use, a person merely draws on the nipple and by a
syphon action thus drinks liquor from the bottle.
In FIG. 2, a modified flask 21 has a vertical central divider
partition 22 so to form two compartments 23 within the flask so to
hold two different liquors or mixable beverages. A filler cap 24 on
the flask bottom to each compartment allows refilling the flask. A
tube 25 extends into each compartment 23, the tubes extending
outwardly therefrom and being enjoined at their outer ends to a
T-fitting 26 from which a hose 27 extends to the nipple 18. A
manually closable valve 28 in each tube allows control of the
relative quantity of each liquor to form a mixture to be dispensed
from the nipple.
In FIG. 3, a further modified flask 29 includes a threadingly
attached cap 30; the cap having a tube 31 threadingly secured
thereto and extending downwardly into the flask, the tube having
spaced-apart openings 32. A hose 33 is slidable vertically within
the tube, the hose having a side opening 34 which can be
selectively aligned with any of the openings 32 of the tube. The
hose could be marked with graduations for proper alignment with the
openings. In operative use, this structure will allow only a set
quantity of liquor to be drawn from the flask. When, for example,
as shown, the hose is in the position indicated in FIG. 4, when
only a quantity of liquor may be drawn off down to the indication
line 33. To draw another measure, the hose is lowered into the tube
until opening 34 is aligned with the next lower tube opening
32.
The hose has a threaded fitting 35 at its opposite end for
securement to thread 36 of the cap when the hose is retracted and
not in use.
