Benefits of technology

[0008] Plastic bottles didn't come out until recently. They existed on only a few beverages. Surprisingly valve in spout makes for an uncomfortable drinking design. Valve below spout allows spout to be a more contoured comfortable shape for drinking. Also, a bigger valve can be used below spout so the flow rate of fluid is faster not a struggle to get out.
[0009] In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a self-sealing dispensing valve closure is provided which substantially reduces or eliminates disadvantages and problems associated with prior art dispensing valves.

Problems solved by technology

Embodiment Construction

[0012] Self-sealing dispensing valve may be any suitable self-sealing dispensing valve. A particular example of a self-sealing dispensing valve that may be used is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,213,236, 5,377,877, 5,339,995, 5,409,144, 5,439,134 and 5,839,614, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. The self-sealing dispensing valve may be formed from a resiliently flexible material, and in particular may be formed from a silicone rubber that is substantially inert, thus avoiding deleterious reaction with the food, beverage, or other fluid to be dispensed.

[0013] The self-sealing dispensing valve allows fluid to be dispensed by increasing the external or internal pressure within the package, or, for example, through squeezing of the package or applying suction to the opening of the spout. Once the pressure is released, the valve automatically seals, thus preventing leaking.

[0014] As will be discussed in detail below, self-sealing dispensing valve is dis...

Abstract

Disclosed are novel universal spill proof caps for after market use.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates generally to closures, and more particularly to a dispensing valve closure for universal use. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A number of packages exist for containing materials that flow (generally referred to herein as “fluids”), such as beverages. These packages are filled with the fluids through openings, such as that provided at the finish area of bottles. These openings are then sealed for distribution of the packages. The sealing is generally done with a closure, of which there are a large number of different types. [0003] In the beverage industry, closures used for many packages, including bottles, are generally of the screw-on type, and may be repeatedly removed and resealed. Recently, however, an increasing number of beverage closures include dispensing valves that allow the beverages to flow through the closure for consumption, without removal of the closure. The most widely used dispensing closure is the p...
