Container spillage prevention system

Abstract

A container spillage prevention system for preventing the leakage or spilling of liquid contained within a bottle through a nipple opening when the bottle is positionally located on a substantially horizontal surface. The spillage prevention system may also be used as a toy device which provides for a teething ring for a child. Additionally, the system has a contamination resistant feature such that the nipple of the bottle is positionally displaced from the surface upon which the bottle is resting to negate the possibility of continued contact of the nipple with a contaminated surface. The container spillage prevention system includes a cap member which engages the neck portion of a bottle where the cap has an opening through which the nipple may be mounted. A ring element is secured to a lateral wall of the cap member having dimensions such that an acute angle is formed between a peripheral surface of the bottle and the substantially horizontal surface upon which it is in contact.
