Container cap

Abstract

A container cap includes: a first cap body formed with at least one first perforation and sealedly connectable to an opening of a container; a second cap body rotatably mounted on the first cap body and formed with at least one second perforation; and a sealing member positioned between the first and second cap bodies and formed with third perforations. The number of the third perforations is equal to the number of the first perforations. The third perforations are aligned with the first perforations of the first cap body respectively. The first and second cap bodies can be relatively rotated to unseal or seal the container for a user to select a desired mode for drinking a beverage contained in the container. For example, a user can directly drink a hot beverage with his / her mouth or insert a straw into the container to drink a cold beverage.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a container cap, and more particularly to a container cap including a first cap body, a second cap body and a sealing member positioned between the first and second cap bodies. The first and second cap bodies can be relatively rotated to unseal or seal the container for a user to select a desired mode for drinking a beverage contained in the container. For example, a user can directly drink a hot beverage with his / her mouth or insert a straw into the container to drink a cold beverage.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]There are many beverage stores selling various beverages to consumers, such as bubble tea, milk tea, cola, etc. In general, the beverages are contained in paper cups or plastic cups and sold to the consumers together with the containers. After the beverage is drunk off, the paper cups or plastic cups are often randomly discarded. This leads to pollution o...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above container cap in which the second cap body is further formed with an insertion cavity in which a secondary functional article such as a thermometer or a compass can be inlaid. In case of a thermometer, the secondary functional article has a probe extending through the sealing member and the first cap body into the container. By means of the secondary functional article, a user can know the temperature of the liquid in the container to avoid burn in drinking the liquid.

[0014]In practical use of the above container cap, a user can insert a straw into one of the second perforations of the second cap body and extend the straw through the third perforation of the sealing member and the first perforation of the first cap body into the liquid contained in the container for drinking the cold liquid therein. When temporarily not drinking the liquid, the user can rotate the second cap body to misalign the first and second cap bodies from each other. Under such circumstance, the straw between the first and second cap bodies is bent and tightly clamped and blocked to avoid spill of the liquid contained in the container.

Problems solved by technology

This leads to pollution of the environment.

Moreover, for manufacturing numerous paper cups or plastic cups, very tremendous precious resources in the earth are consumed.

In the meantime, it costs very much precious resources and energy sources in the earth for the environmental protection institutes to process the numerous paper cups or plastic cups.

Recently, global pollution and carbon dioxide discharge problems have become more and more serious.

However, when using the straw, it is impossible to temporarily seal the straw to avoid leakage.

Therefore, a user cannot use a straw to suck the beverage contained in the stainless thermos sealed with the cap.

2. When a user opens the cap and inserts a straw into the stainless thermos to suck and drink the beverage, in case of interruption of drinking, it is impossible to seal both the opening of the stainless thermos and the straw.

As a result, the beverage in the stainless thermos is likely to spill or leak out to cause sanitary problem.

3. Each time a user desires to drink the beverage in the stainless thermos, it is necessary to open the cap. Therefore, the warmth-keeping effect of the stainless thermos will be quickly deteriorated or even lost.

The conventional stainless thermos has so many defects so that a user is often unwilling to carry the stainless thermos and use the stainless thermos outdoors.
