In one or more embodiments, a bottle cap apparatus includes a silicone cap body, a glass insert disposed in the silicone cap body, and a silicone gasket disposed on the glass insert.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bottle cap apparatus, comprising:
 a cap body;   a glass insert disposed in the cap body; and   a gasket disposed on the glass insert.   
     
     
         2 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cap body is formed entirely of a plastic-free and metal-free material. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cap body is formed at least partially of silicone. 
     
     
         4 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cap body is formed entirely of silicone. 
     
     
         5 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the gasket is formed entirely of a plastic-free and metal-free material. 
     
     
         6 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the gasket is formed at least partially of silicone. 
     
     
         7 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the gasket is formed entirely of silicone. 
     
     
         8 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the glass insert is removable. 
     
     
         9 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the gasket is removable. 
     
     
         10 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cap body is flexible and adapted to be turned inside out. 
     
     
         11 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cap body is resilient and non-threaded. 
     
     
         12 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cap body is adapted to coupled to a bottle. 
     
     
         13 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cap body comprises an inner rim to which a channel of the glass insert mates. 
     
     
         14 . A bottle cap apparatus, comprising:
 a single molded silicone portion, wherein the molded silicone includes a ridge around a bottom inside portion of the molded silicone portion, wherein the molded silicone portion is flexible and includes an inner channel adjacent to the ridge, the inner channel being adapted to receive an open end of a bottle.   
     
     
         15 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the molded silicone portion is adapted to be turned inside out. 
     
     
         16 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the single molded silicone portion is resilient and non-threaded. 
     
     
         17 . The bottle cap apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the single molded silicone portion is adapted to be coupled to a bottle. 
     
     
         18 . A cap system for sealing a container, the system comprising:
 a cap body adapted to mate with an opening of a container;   a glass insert adapted to be mate with a cavity of the cap body; and   a gasket adapted to mate with the glass insert and the cavity of the cap body.   
     
     
         19 . The cap system of  claim 18 , wherein the cap body is formed entirely of a plastic-free and metal-free material. 
     
     
         20 . The cap system of  claim 19 , wherein the cap body is formed entirely of silicone.
