Description:

COVER ELEMENT STRUCTURE FOR WATER CONTAINERS

DESCRIPTION

The present invention refers to a cover structure for water containers .

As is known, man is composed of two-thirds water.

Indeed, it is water which brings nutritional substances to our cells, substances necessary for the cells' specialised activities. Water also removes metabolic waste.

At its spring water state, water has molecular aggregations which are more suitable for human physiology, and the organic state of its clusters (macromolecules) is optimal for its uses in the human body .

Nevertheless, modern man generally does not drink enough spring water; rather, the water he drinks is aggregated in large and slow clusters whose absorption requires a not-insignificant energy expenditure by the cell membrane, which can create imbalances .

The technical task which the present invention proposes is therefore that of making a cover

structure for water containers which permits eliminating the drawbacks lamented by the prior art.

In the scope of this technical task, one object of the invention is that of making a cover structure for water containers which permits bringing the water substantially in the form wherein it was present at the spring state .

Another object of the invention is that of making a cover structure for water containers which is versatilely adaptable to the water container structure to which it is attached.

Not the least object of the invention is that of making a cover structure for water containers which is easy and convenient to attach, economical and not very bulky.

The technical task, as well as these and other objects, according to the present invention are achieved by making a cover structure for water containers according to claim 1.

Advantageously, the photon energy acts on the water, breaks the bonds of the large clusters and brings them into optimal conditions for cell

metabolism.

In particular, the photon energy in a particular range of frequencies allows acting on the water in a manner such to optimise the cell metabolic processes underlying the performances of an athlete in a sporting context .

Other characteristics of the present invention are moreover defined in the subsequent claims.

Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will be more evident from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the cover element structure of a water container according to the finding, illustrated as indicative and non-limiting in the attached drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 shows the cover structure attached to the water container; and

Figure 2 shows the cover structure separated from the water container.

With reference to the mentioned figures, a cover element structure 1 is shown of a water container 2.

By water container, it is broadly intended a container of any water-based liquid, including

thirst-quenching drinks, energising drinks, saline supplement drinks etc.

The cover element structure 1 has connection means for its association with at least one portion of the water container 2 and photon emission means in the far- infrared spectrum for breaking the bonds between water molecules of aggregates of water molecules .

The photon emission means are particularly intended to increase the presence of trimeric aggregates of water molecules.

The connection means have a body 3 adaptable to the container 2.

The photon emission means comprise a composition comprising aluminium, silicon oxide or titanium oxide, at least one chosen from among platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium, silver and a compound thereof, and at least one chosen from among silver and a silver compound.

Such composition is present in the material which forms the body 3 which is adapted to the container 2.

The body 3, as illustrated, is a preferably elastic

band which is wound around the container 2.

The band can be tubular, as illustrated, or it can have means for closing on itself so to confer it a tubular conformation.

In the latter case in particular, the closure means can comprise mutual engagement portions which can be released by pulling/tearing (not shown) .

Such mutual engagement portions are preferably extended along the circumferential extension of the elastic band in closed conformation, such to provide a section thereof which is mutually overlapping and variable in order to regulate the circumference that the elastic band assumes in closed conformation, adapting it to the circumference of the container 2.

In order to improve the adhesion to the container 2, the band can have one or more self-supporting silicon cords, for example a cord 4 along its upper circumferential edge.

The body 3 in general can have a form matching that of the container to which it is associated, for example it can be tapered towards its top in order to be adapted to a possible container neck.

The container 2 is made of glass, plastic, aluminium or any other material suitable for being crossed by photon radiation in the far- infrared spectrum.

The composition which generates photons in the far- infrared spectrum is preferably in powder form, but can equally be present in the body 3 in a mixture with a synthetic polymer, for example in synthetic fibre form in a mixture with a synthetic polymer.

Naturally, in order to have optimal results, a correlation is provided between exposure time of the water to the photon radiations, capacity of the container, material of the container and surface of the container exposed to the photon radiations.

Preferably, the structure must in any case be s-uch to cover the greatest possible part of the container outer surface.

Finally, the cover element structure in accordance with the present invention is used for conferring to the water the physical -chemical characteristics which are suitable for optimising cell metabolic processes and the natural physiological equilibrium.

The water thus treated, due to the increase of the trimeric aggregates, improves cellular exchange with various positive effects, including facilitating diuresis, eliminating water retention, regulating the gastro- intestinal functions etc.

The cover element structure for water containers thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variants, all falling within the scope of the inventive concept; moreover, all details can be substituted with technically equivalent elements.

In practice, the materials used, as well as the size, can be of any type according to the requirements and the state of the art.
