Threaded Tumbler Bottle Cap

Abstract

A threaded tumbler bottle cap includes a cap handle, a cap base, and a strainer. The cap base includes a flange, an annular wall, an opening, and a lateral wall. The lateral wall that threadedly attaches to a tumbler is perimetrically connected around the annular wall. The opening that allows the stored beverage to flow through concentrically traverses through the annular wall. The flange is concentrically positioned around the opening and externally connected onto the annular wall so that the stored beverage can be discharged from the tumbler. The strainer is internally engaged within the flange to keep the ice cubes within the tumbler. The cap handle is threadedly engaged around the lateral wall as the annular wall and the flange being enclosed by the cap handle. The flange is hermetically pressed against the cap handle thus preventing any leakage of stored beverage.

DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

[0016] All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0017] The present invention is a threaded tumbler bottle cap to ensure convenience for the user. The present invention seeks to provide users with a device that can be attached to many different generic water bottles. More specifically, the present invention is a threaded tumbler bottle cap that allows for the user to comfortably carry the attached water bottle while ensuring easy drinking from the water bottle and a leakproof design. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention comprises a cap handle 1, a cap base 6, and a strainer 16 to ensure a water bottle can be easily and efficiently used while providing extra functionality.

[0018] In reference to the general configuration, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the cap base 6 is threadedly attached to any generic water bottles so that the stored beverage within the water bottle can be discharged. The strainer 16 is internally engaged with the cap base 6 to separate any solid items such as ice cubs, fruits, vegetables, and any other solid beverage flavoring items from the stored beverage. The cap handle 1 is threadedly attached to the cap base 6 to ensure a comfortable grip for the user when carrying the water bottle and to prevent accidental leakage of stored beverage.

[0019] In reference to FIGS. 3-5, the cap base 6 comprises a flange 7, an annular wall 10, an opening 11, and a lateral wall 12 so that the opening 11 of the water bottle can be closed. The lateral wall 12 is perimetrically connected around the annular wall 10 to form the general shape of the cap base 6. More specifically, the lateral wall 12 is designed to fit around the opening 11 of the water bottle while the annular wall 10 is designed to positioned over the opening 11 of the water bottle. The opening 11 concentrically traverses through the annular wall 10 thus providing a channel to discharge the stored beverage through the annular wall 10. In order to easily release the stored beverage into user's mouth, the flange 7 is concentrically positioned around the opening 11 and externally connected onto the annular wall 10. As a result, the user can insert the flange 7 into user's mouth while consuming the stored beverage to prevent spillage.

[0020] The lateral wall 12 comprises a cap handle engaging section 13 and a bottle engaging section 15 as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. The cap handle engaging section 13 is perimetrically connected around the annular wall 10 as the cap handle engaging section 13 is oriented downward from the annular wall 10. The bottle engaging section 15 is perimetrically connected around the cap handle engaging section 13, wherein the cap handle engaging section 13 functions as the interconnecting body between the annular wall 10 and the bottle engaging section 15. Furthermore, the bottle engaging section 15 is externally offset from the cap handle engaging section 13. In other words, the outer diameter of the bottle engaging section 15 is larger than the outer diameter of cap handle engaging section 13 so that the lateral wall 12 can hermetically seals the opening 11 of the water bottle. More specifically, the bottle engaging section 15 is integrated with at least one inner bottle thread that engages with an existing thread of the water bottle. Due to the offsetting feature of the bottle engaging section 15 and the cap handle engaging section 13, the cap handle engaging section 13 is then able to press upon a rim of the water bottle to delineate a hermetic connection. The cap handle engaging section 13 is integrated with at least one outer cap thread so that the cap handle 1 can be threadedly attached to the cap base 6.

[0021] The present invention can further comprise a rim gasket 17 as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5. More specifically, the rim gasket 17 is connected into the cap handle engaging section 13 through a bottom surface 14 of the cap handle engaging section 13. As a result, the rim gasket 17 is oriented toward the bottle engaging section 15 and radially positioned atop the rim of the water bottle when the cap base 6 is threadedly attached around the water bottle. The rim gasket 17 is able to create a hermetic seal so that the stored beverage does not leak through the lateral wall 12.

[0022] The cap handle 1 encloses the flange 7 and the annular wall 10 while allowing the user to comfortably carry the attached water bottle. In reference to FIGS. 6-8, the cap handle 1 that threadedly engaged around the lateral wall 12 comprises a handle body 2, an annular panel 3, a lateral panel 4, and an inner gasket 5. The lateral panel 4 is perimetrically connected around the annular panel 3 so that the flange 7 and the annular wall 10 can be enclosed. The lateral panel 4 is integrated with at least one inner cap thread so that the lateral wall 12 can engage with the at least one outer cap thread through the at least one inner cap thread. The handle body 2 is externally connected to the annular panel 3 thus allowing a surface area to grasp the present invention. Preferably, the handle body 2 is shaped into a wide upside-down U-shape body so that the user can put their fingers around the handle body 2 to grip the cap handle 1. The inner handle surface is created with a soft plastic material to ensure the cap handle 1 can be held and carried comfortably. It should be further noted that, the handle body 2 can be created in many various shapes and while still staying within the scope of the present invention. The inner gasket 5 is concentrically positioned to the annular panel 3 as the inner gasket 5 and the handle body 2 are oppositely positioned of each other about the annular panel 3. The inner gasket 5 is adjacently connected to the annular panel 3 so that the flange 7 can be hermetically pressed against the cap handle 1. More specifically, when cap handle 1 is threadedly attached to the cap base 6, the lateral panel 4 is threadedly engaged around the cap handle engaging section 13 of the lateral wall 12 thus allowing a free end 8 of the flange 7 to be hermetically positioned within the inner gasket 5. Aforementioned hermetic connection prevents beverage leakage through the flange 7 and cap handle 1 thus creating a proper seal.

[0023] The inner gasket 5 and the rim gasket 17 can be made of a silicone material with a circular shape and sized to the corresponding engaging components. The design and material selection ensure that the free end 8 of the flange 7 is pushed up against the inner gasket 5 and the rim of the water bottle is pressed up against the rim gasket 17. As a result, the present invention is able to provide a leak proof connection if the water bottle is tilted or knocked over.

[0024] In reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the strainer 16 is internally engaged with the flange 7 to separate any solid items such as ice cubs, fruits, vegetables, and any other solid beverage flavoring items from the stored beverage. Depending upon the first configurations of the present invention, the strainer 16 can be flat circular body that is compressionally attached to a fixed end 9 of the flange 7 and positioned adjacent to the annular wall 10. Depending upon the second configurations of the present invention, the strainer 16 is removably mounted to the fixed of the flange 7. More specifically, a side wall of the strainer 16 is interlocked or engaged with the flange 7 about the annular wall 10.

[0025] The present invention is made of a polypropylene plastic material which is a sturdy and durable compound. The present invention is also manufactured as a dishwasher safe apparatus for easy cleanup.

[0026] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
