Bottle closure assembly

Abstract

A closure assembly that connects to a bottle, the closure assembly comprising a cap with a top and a bottom, said cap having an opening that communicates with the top and the bottom; a straw that fits within the cap opening; a cover that removably attaches to one side of the cap top whereby the cover surrounds one end of the straw.

1 . A closure assembly that connects to a bottle, the closure assembly comprising:
 a cap with a top and a bottom, said cap having an opening that communicates with the top and the bottom;   a straw that fits within the cap opening; and   a cover that removably attaches to the cap top whereby the cover surrounds one end of the straw.   
   
   
       2 . The closure assembly of  claim 1  wherein the cap has a second opening passing through the cap and travels from the top side to the bottom side to allow air to flow through the second opening. 
   
   
       3 . The closure assembly of  claim 1  wherein a bottle is further provided and the closure assembly is connected to the bottle at a bottle opening and one end of the straw is positioned in the bottle. 
   
   
       4 . The closure assembly of  claim 3  wherein the cap is connected to the bottle by a screw-type feature located on the cap and the bottle. 
   
   
       5 . The closure assembly of  claim 3  wherein the cap opening further comprises a means for sealing so that when the straw passes through the opening, a liquid proof seal is formed around the straw. 
   
   
       6 . The closure assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a means for covering one end of the straw to prevent liquid from escaping the one end of the straw until the straw is in use. 
   
   
       7 . The closure assembly of  claim 1  wherein the cover is connected to the cap by a hinge to enable the cover to be connected to the cap when the straw is in use. 
   
   
       8 . The closure assembly of  claim 1  wherein the hole in the cap is positioned in the cap so that it is offset from the center of the cap. 
   
   
       9 . The closure assembly of  claim 8  wherein the cover further comprises a tamper-proof seal. 
   
   
       10 . A closure assembly that can be connected to a bottle containing fluid, the closure assembly comprising:
 a cap;   a mouth piece rotatably integrated into the cap; and   a straw connected to one side of the cap opposite the mouth piece.   
   
   
       11 . The bottle closure assembly of  claim 10  further comprising a bottle wherein the closure assembly is attached to the bottle. 
   
   
       12 . The closure assembly of  claim 10  wherein the cap has a second opening passing through the cap and travels from the top side to the bottom side to allow air to flow through the second opening. 
   
   
       13 . The closure assembly of  claim 10  wherein a bottle is further provided and the closure assembly is connected to the bottle at a bottle opening and one end of the straw is positioned in the bottle. 
   
   
       14 . The closure assembly of  claim 10  wherein the cap is connected to the bottle by a screw-type feature located on the cap and the bottle. 
   
   
       15 . A closure assembly that connects to a container, the closure assembly comprising:
 a cap with a top and a bottom, said cap having an opening;   a means for removing fluid from the bottle that fits within the cap opening; and   a cover that removably attaches to the cap top whereby the cover surrounds one end of the means for removing.   
   
   
       16 . The closure assembly of  claim 15  wherein the cap has a second opening passing through the cap and travels from the top side to the bottom side to allow air to flow through the second opening. 
   
   
       17 . The closure assembly of  claim 15  wherein a container is further provided and the closure assembly is connected to the container at a container opening and one end of the means for removing fluid is positioned in the container. 
   
   
       18 . The closure assembly of  claim 15  wherein the cap is connected to the container by a screw-type feature located on the cap and the container. 
   
   
       19 . The closure assembly of  claim 15  further comprising a means for covering one end of the means for removing fluid to prevent liquid from escaping the one end of the means for removing fluid. 
   
   
       20 . The closure assembly of  claim 15  wherein the cover is connected to the cap by a hinge to enable the cover to be connected to the cap when the means for removing fluid is in use.
