DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure relates to a container, and more particularly to a container set with a removable infuser made of copper which can be placed inside the container which can infuse the goodness of copper with the liquid in the container.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A container is the most essential household item for storing and drinking water. However, drinking plain water throughout the day is not completely beneficial than with any additive which can provide more nutrition. It is of the utmost importance to infuse plain water with healthy fruit juice and other natural and nutritious ingredients to boost the health benefits of water. Moreover, plain tap water or purified also has a deficiency of minerals that are essential for health. However, it is almost impossible to infuse plain water with minerals like copper at home. It is also a cumbersome task to prepare other beverages through fusion of different liquids.
According to health experts, one of the best health drinks of today is copper water. According to extensive medical research conducted by Copper Development Association, the mineral copper is remarkably beneficial for health and nutrition. The research report reveals that drinking copper water contributes to the development of the brain and nervous system in the fetal and postnatal stages. Drinking copper water everyday helps in the enhancement of cardiac functioning and also aids in boosting the immune system. Thus there is a need for a container that will be able to infuse water with copper ions without compelling the user to undertake complex chemical processes.
Besides drinking copper water one may also want to drink water infused with one’s choice of fruit and vegetable juice, medicinal powder, and such other ingredients. Preparing an infusion of different ingredients involves a complex sequence of steps and the result is neither smooth nor palatable. There also does not exist any simple and effective method for the injection of copper ions into water for the preparation of copper water.
Various prior art systems have been devised to overcome the aforementioned problem of preparing copper water and other beverages. In one prior art solution, disclosed is a Plastic water bottle and apparatus and method to convey the bottle and prevent bottle rotation (US7028857B2). It is a plastic drink bottle to replace a container with a round flange diameter and optimised for air transport along a track with inwardly extended track rails spaced a fixed distance from each other. In this case, it is to allow the user to hold drinking water securely in a plastic bottle. However, this prior art fails to maintain the purity and potability of drinking water as the plastic material of the container contaminates the drinking water with BPA and other toxins. Upon consumption of water from the plastic container, the contaminants enter into the blood stream and trigger hepatic and renal issues. A study conducted by the University of Florida revealed that plastic can release bisphenol A (BPA) and antimony into the drinking water if the plastic water bottle is overexposed to heat. When hot water is poured into it, the plastic bottle even ends up melting. As plastic also appears to degrade overtime, it is therefore very dangerous to drink water from plastic bottles.
In another prior art solution, disclosed is a stainless- steel container and plastic cap with finger loop and stainless steel plug (US20090301990A1). It is a bottle of stainless steel that allows the user to store drinking water and other beverages. The stainless steel material helps to prevent toxic carcinogen compounds from leaching into the drinking water in the stainless steel container. Stainless steel also does not contain the toxins of plastics that can cause severe health risks. However, this prior art fails to infuse copper ions with water to prepare copper water in the stainless container. Moreover, it is also not safe to store drinking water in stainless steel containers for long as it is very inconvenient to clean the interior region of the container.
Therefore, the present disclosure attempts to provide a solution to the problem of storing drinking water and infusing water and other products to prepare new concoctions through mixing and infusion. Therefore, in light of the present discussion, there exists a need to overcome various problems associated with existing solutions of infusing at least two products to create a new product in a container.

There are several advantages of the present invention.
The container with removable copper infuser of the present invention is an improvement over containers which are made of pure copper that not only erode over time but are also inconvenient to be cleaned.
Another advantage of the present invention is that the copper infuser is easily removable and can be cleaned by the user without any inconvenience.
There are several advantages of using the copper material as an infuser, which can include:
As copper is oligodynamic in nature, it has the sterilizing effect on bacteria, and can destroy bacteria very effectively. It is especially effective against E.coli and S.aureus – two bacteria that are commonly found in our environment and are known to cause severe illnesses in the human body.
Copper can stimulate the brain, where copper helps in the synthesis of phospholipids that are essential for the formation of these myelin sheaths, which helps in neurotransmission. copper is also known to have brain stimulant and anti-convulsive properties.
Copper can regulate the working of thyroid gland as the individuals suffering from hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism suffer from copper deficiency.
Copper can improve skin health and melanin production as copper is the main component in the production of melanin in our bodies. Apart from that copper also aids in the production of new cells that help replenish the top most layers of your skin. While melanin helps the body stay safe from sun damage, speeds up wound healing and covers up scars, the production of new cells is a boon for smooth, blemish free and clear skin.
Copper has anti-oxidant properties and cell forming properties which can slows down ageing: If you are worried about the appearance of fine lines copper is your natural remedy.
Copper can help reduce symptoms of arthritis and inflamed joints, because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
Copper can help to beats anaemia, as copper can aide in absorption of iron.
Copper can help heal wounds faster because of its anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, and it can strengthen the immune system and aid in the production on new cells.
