2. Description of the Invention

[0002] Science and technology change with each passing day ever since the industrial revolution. But, the contamination that destroys the environment occurs accordingly. Just how to cherish and protect our environment has always been an essential issue of all the countries at this stage since we have only one earth.

[0003] FIG. 1A is a schematic and exploded view of a PET bottle commonly used on the market of the prior art; and FIG. 1B is a schematic and assembling view of a PET bottle commonly used on the market of the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the PET bottle (1) commonly used on the market includes a bottle body (11) and a bottle cap (12). The bottle body (11) has a containing space (13) and a bottle opening (14). One can fill the beverage into the containing space (13) through the bottle opening (12) and then seal the containing space (13) by the bottle cap (12) to prevent the beverage from flowing out of the bottle body (11).

[0004] When it comes to drinking the beverage, one can simply open the bottle cap (12) to separate it from the bottle opening (14) to drink by the use of a straw (not shown in the Figure) or have one's mouth contact the bottle opening (14) directly to drink. After the PET bottle is recycled, the bottle body (11) is cleaned and sterilized, and a new bottle cap (12) is replaced. In general, the next consumer after buying the beverage contained in the recycled PET bottle (1) is reluctant to have his/her mouth directly contact the bottle opening (14) to drink without knowing that the recycled PET bottle (1) is completely cleaned and sterilized. Therefore, the use of straw is going to increase which will cause a second contamination.

[0005] Therefore, it has been an urgent plan and improvement project for the designers to resolve the above-mentioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] In light of the above-mentioned demerits of the invention, the invention provides a structure of environment protection bottle that aims to ameliorate at least some of the demerits of the invention or to provide a useful alternative.

[0007] The objective of the invention is to provide a structure of environment protection bottle that makes use of the fact that the assembling-and-disassembling body is capable of mutually engaging and separating such that the containing body of the bottle can be used repeatedly in order to achieve the efficacy of environment protection.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the invention provides a structure of environment protection bottle having a containing body of the bottle that has a containing space and a bottle opening where the containing space is capable of providing a liquid to be filled into the containing body of the bottle through the bottle opening. The structure of environment protection bottle includes a first connecting portion, at least a assembling-and-disassembling body, and a bottle-cap body. The first connecting portion is positioned at the bottle opening while the assembling-and-disassembling body has a second connecting portion at the inner-diameter's circumference thereof and a first assembling portion at the outer-diameter's circumference thereof. The bottle-cap body having a second assembling portion is capable of engaging with the first assembling portion to make the bottle-cap body position on the assembling-and-disassembling body. By the use of the separation between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, one is capable of making the assembling-and-disassembling body separate from the containing body of the bottle and providing another assembling-and-disassembling body to make the first connecting portion engage with the corresponding second connecting portion such that the assembling-and-disassembling body positions on the containing body of the bottle. The assembling-and-disassembling body is capable of being alternately used to achieve the object of being repeatedly used and having the efficacy of environment protection.

As shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, and FIG. 2C, the containing body of the bottle (2) of the invention has a containing space (21) and a bottle opening (22). The containing space (21) is capable of providing liquid to be filled into the containing body of the bottle (2) (not shown in the Figure) through the bottle opening (22). The structure of environment protection bottle of the invention includes a first connecting portion (3), at least an assembling-and-disassembling body (4), and a bottle-cap body (5) where the first connecting portion (3) is positioned at the bottle opening (22). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first connecting portion (3) is a threaded structure. The assembling-and-disassembling body (4) being a hollow tube structure has an inner-diameter's circumference dimension corresponding to the outer-diameter's circumference dimension of the bottle opening (22). What is more, the inner-diameter's circumference of the assembling-and-disassembling body (4) has a second connecting portion (41), and the outer-diameter's circumference thereof has a first assembling portion (42) where both the second connecting portion (41) and the first assembling portion (42) are threaded structures. The thread of the first assembling portion (42) can be either fully spread or partially spread around the circumference of the outer diameter. Certainly, both the first connecting portion (3) and the second connecting portion (41) can be an adhesive making the assembling-and-disassembling body (4) adhere to the bottle opening (22).

[0012] The dimension of the inner-diameter's circumference of the bottle-cap body (5) is corresponding to the dimension of the outer-diameter's circumference of the first assembling portion (42). Moreover, the bottle-cap body (5) has a second assembling portion (51) that is a threaded structure corresponding to the first assembling portion (42) where the thread of the second assembling portion (51) can be either fully spread or partially spread around the circumference of the inner diameter. The second assembling portion (51) can engage with the first assembling portion (42) making the bottle-cap body (5) position on the assembling-and-disassembling body (4). The thread of the first assembling portion is between 0.1∼99.9%, the thread of the second assembling portion is between 0.1∼99.9%.
