Abstract
A closure for a beverage container that has a cap for overlapping a mouth of the beverage container. An arcuate member attached to the cap having a pair of extremity portions separated from one another and a springing member is connected to the arcuate member proximate to one of the extremity portions that is angularly pivotally moveable in response to a manually applied force, between a first position at which the springing member closes and completes a continuous periphery of the arcuate member and a second position at which the arcuate member periphery is open.
Claims17
A removable closure for a beverage container, comprising:
- a. a cap for covering a mouth of the container;
- b. an arcuate member, having a first extremity and a second extremity separated one from another, connection of which would close a periphery of the arcuate member;
- c. a passageway, having a rectangular annular recess formed around a periphery of the passageway, extending through the arcuate member and by which the arcuate member is connected to the cap;
- d. a base of a valve, seated in the rectangular annular recess formed around the periphery of the passageway;
- and
- e. a springing member, being pivotally moveable between a first position at which the springing member closes and completes the periphery of the arcuate member and a second position at which the periphery of the arcuate member is open.
A closure for a container, the closure comprising:

- c. a base of a valve, seated in the rectangular-shaped passageway;
- and
- d. a springing member connected to the arcuate member, being pivotally moveable between a first position at which the springing member closes the periphery of the arcuate member and a second position at which the periphery of the arcuate member is open.
An openable and closeable snap ring for attachment to a cap of a container, comprising:
- a. an arcuate member, having a rectangular-shaped passageway which extends through the arcuate member and by which the arcuate member is attached to the cap, and having an extremity with an open periphery;
- and
- b. a springing member, being pivotally moveable between a first position at which the springing member closes the periphery of the arcuate member and a second position at which the periphery of the arcuate member is open;
- and
