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.

1 . A container cap comprising:
 (a) a first cap body formed with at least one first perforation and sealedly connectable to an opening of a container;   (b) a second cap body rotatably mounted on the first cap body and formed with at least one second perforation; and   (c) a sealing member positioned between the first and second cap bodies and formed with third perforations, the number of the third perforations being equal to the number of the first perforations of the first cap body, the third perforations being aligned with the first perforations of the first cap body respectively.   
     
     
         2 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first cap body includes a base seat section and an upper seat section, the upper seat section being tightly affixed to a top end of the base seat section, the top end of the base seat section and the upper seat section together defining a receiving space for receiving the sealing member therein. 
     
     
         3 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first cap body is formed with two first perforations and a vent, the diameter of one of the two first perforations being larger than the diameter of the other of the two first perforations. 
     
     
         4 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sealing member has sleeve sections axially protruding from circumferences of bottom ends of the third perforations, the sleeve sections being respectively correspondingly fitted in the first perforations of the first cap body, the sealing member being also formed with a vent. 
     
     
         5 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an outer circumference of the first cap body is formed with a threaded section for correspondingly locking with the opening of the container, a leakproof gasket being fitted around the outer circumference of the first cap body. 
     
     
         6 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an annular groove is formed along outer circumference of the second cap body, the first cap body having a flange corresponding to the annular groove, whereby the flange can be inlaid in the annular groove to freely rotatably connect the second cap body with the first cap body. 
     
     
         7 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an arcuate slot is formed on a top face of the first cap body and centered at a rotational axis of the first and second cap bodies by equal radiuses, a locating boss being disposed under a bottom face of the second cap body, the locating boss of the second cap body extending into the arcuate slot. 
     
     
         8 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bottom face of the second cap body is formed with an elastic arm, a protrusion key being disposed on the elastic arm, a locating recess being formed on the top face of the first cap body in a rotational movement path of the protrusion key, whereby when the protrusion key of the elastic arm of the second cap body is correspondingly latched in the locating recess, none of the second perforations of the second cap body is aligned with any of the third perforations of the sealing member or any of the vents. 
     
     
         9 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second cap body is composed of a bed section and a cover section. 
     
     
         10 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second cap body is formed with three second perforations, when the second cap body is rotated to a first specific position, one of the second perforations being aligned with one of the third perforations of the sealing member, when the second cap body is rotated to a second specific position, the other two of the second perforations of the second cap body being aligned with the two third perforations of the sealing member. 
     
     
         11 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein annular leakproof rib sections are disposed along the circumferences of the third perforations of the sealing member for tightly attaching to the bottom face of the second cap body, whereby when the second perforation of the second cap body is aligned with the third perforation, the annular leakproof rib section surrounds the circumference of the corresponding second perforation. 
     
     
         12 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the second cap body is marked with symbols beside the second perforations to indicate drinking modes provided by the second perforations, the outer circumference of the first cap body being marked with a mark radially directed to one of the first perforations. 
     
     
         13 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second cap body is further formed with an insertion cavity in which a secondary functional article can be inlaid. 
     
     
         14 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the secondary functional article is a thermometer having a probe extending through the sealing member and the first cap body into the container. 
     
     
         15 . The container cap as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the secondary functional article is a compass.
