System, apparatus and method for coding cap and tube assemblies for different bottle sizes

An apparatus providing a tube coded for one of a plurality of different sizes of bottles, said apparatus comprising:

• said a tube having two ends;
• a cap having at least an aperture extending through a closed top end of the cap, said aperture being sized to receive said tube, and said tube being mounted to, or through, said aperture of the cap to extend a length from said cap to one of said two ends, and said tube is non-adjustably fixed in position with respect to said aperture;
• and
• said tube being visually coded with one of a plurality of colors along at least a portion thereof to associate the apparatus with bottles having one of a plurality of different sizes in terms of at least one dimension, and said length of said tube from said cap to said one of said ends being selected to enable said one of said ends of said tube to reach, or extend along at least a portion of, an interior of a closed bottom end of any of the bottles having said one of said plurality of different sizes when engaging said cap.

A system for visually coding assemblies of caps and tubes for different size bottles comprising:

• a plurality of assemblies, each said assemblies comprises a cap having at least one aperture extending there through and a flexible tube mounted to, or through said aperture, and non-adjustably fixed to the cap;
• different ones of said plurality of assemblies each have a different visual coding along at least a portion thereof for association with different ones of sizes of bottles at least in accordance with height of the bottles;
• and
• said tube of each of said assemblies extends a selected length from the cap of the assembly so that one end of the tube bends in response to reaching, or extending along at least a portion of, an interior surface of a bottom end of any of the bottles the assembly is visually coded for use therewith when engaged with the cap of the assembly.

A bottle coded for use with an assembly of a cap and a tube mounted thereto, said bottle comprising:

• a container in a shape of a bottle having an open end and a closed bottom end with an interior surface, wherein said bottle extends a height between said open end and said closed bottom end;
• said open end being configured for engaging said cap having at least one aperture extending there through with said tube non-adjustably fixed in position with respect to the aperture and extending a selected length in said container in accordance with the height of the bottle so that one end of the tube will reach, or extend along at least a portion of, said interior surface of said closed bottom end, in which at least a portion of said assembly has one or more of visual color and indicia coding said assembly for use with said bottle of said height;
• and
• at least a portion of said container or a label affixed to said container matches said one or more visual color and indicia to assist a user in selecting said bottle having said height for engagement with said assembly when coded for use therewith.
