This document presents concepts for new water bottle designs for Tupperware. It summarizes two concepts: the Curvalicious, a bottle with two chambers for holding two different beverages, and the Blue Prism, a bottle that allows filling three bottles simultaneously through its unique design. For each concept, the document outlines inspiration, initial ideation sketches, scenario usage examples, feedback received, and improved revised designs. Renderings and technical drawings are also included to illustrate the final proposed designs.

5. Curvalicious
CONCEPT
The curvalicious is a design for people who like a little variety in their beverage choices,
curvalicious water bottle allows you to hold two different beverages in one bottle.
It is a water bottle with two chambers for dual hydration on the go. Apple juice and orange
juice? Water and Gatorade? Lassi and Water? Carry one but two drinks.

7. A canteen is a drinking water bottle designed to be used by hikers, campers, soldiers and
workers in the field.
Many canteens also include a nested canteen cup.
Primitive canteens were sometimes made of hollowed-out gourds, such as a calabash, or were
bags made of leather.
Designs of the mid-1900s were made of metal tin-plated steel, stainless steel or aluminium
with a screw cap, the cap frequently being secured to the bottle neck with a short chain or
strap to prevent loss.

Working
1. This is the way it looks
when not in use.
2. Unscrew the cap. This
cap can be used as a
glass.
3. Now you have an
option of using the
bottle without the
glass.
4. Now there’s a choice.
Lemonade and water?
Apple juice and
orange juice?
5. To clean you need to
unscrew the base cap.

13. CAP as a GLASS
There’s a common glass
for two different liquids
which is not preferred.
FLIP CAP
Its inconvenient and
comes in the way of
your nose.
TUMBLER
Works without the
outer chamber
BASE CAP
Too many components
CHAMBERS
Cannot be used for
bevenrages of varying
temperatures.
RUBBER STOPPER
Too many components

18. 1. These two containers
snap fit together .
2. Screw on the inner cap,
has an attached
rubber stopper.
3. You can rotate the
cap on any one of the
containers.
4. Screw on the outer
cap once it is used.
5. This is the way it looks
when not in use.

19. 1. Ergonomically shaped.
Easy to grip.
2. Easy to fix due to snap
fit.
3. Rotating cap with two
different holes. Avoids
overlapping of tastes.
4. Screw on cap.
Easy to clean
5. Loop for strap.

20. Material Study
TECHNOLOGY
Extrusion Blow Molding (EBM), plastic is melted and extruded into a
hollow tube (a parison). This parison is then captured by closing it into a
cooled metal mold. Air is then blown into the parison, inflating it into the
shape of the hollow bottle, container, or part.
MATERIAL
This product is made out of polyethylene (PE). PE is one of the widely
used polymers in the industry. The long hydrocarbon chain structure
makes it suitable for various industrial uses.In case of this product it
provides a reasonable amount toughness and execellent chemical
resistance.
Primary objective
Light, Strong, Naturally translucent and Flexible, Economical
Secondary objective
Imapct resistant, Good mositure barrier, Approved food grade,
Good protection at below freezing temperature

BLUE PRISM
“Filling simultaneously”

24. Blue prism
CONCEPT
The blue prism is a design for people in need for a universal bottle. This bottle serves
both on the go bottle and storage bottle. This bottle has an unique feature that lets
fill three bottles simultaneously.

Working
1. Bottle when not in use 2. After you open the cap.
The mouth is designed
in a way where, that
directs the flow of
liquid.
3. At this stage you can fill
all the three bottles
simultaneously.
4. The hexagon shape
of the bottle helps in the
storage.

Feedback
MOUTH
Filling will be difficult as tip will
splash the water outside.
GRIP
Doesn’t have a guided grip.
MOUTH
Water will get stuck in the
mouth piece.

32. 1. ThIis is the whole bottle
when not in use.
2. When outer cap is
removed.
3. Now, you can snap fit
the three bottles which
creates a hexagon
shape.
4. Turn the tap on and
you can fill three
bottles together.
