Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A closure system for a container, comprising:
an engaging member; a mouthpiece extending from the engaging member, wherein the mouthpiece is configured to be contacted by a mouth of a user; a straw assembly extending from the mouthpiece, wherein the straw assembly includes:
a first member fixed relative to the mouthpiece, and
a second member moveable relative to the mouthpiece.
2 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the straw assembly further includes a third member moveable relative to the first member and the second member.
3 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the second member is moveable relative to the mouthpiece such that a terminal end of the second member is moveable from a first position to a second position relative to the mouthpiece, wherein the second position is further than the first position from the mouthpiece.
4 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the straw assembly further includes a sealing portion between the first member and the second member to form a fluid tight seal between the first member and the second member.
5 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the first member includes a second member engaging portion that defines a substantially cylindrical inner wall to engage a first end of the second member.
6 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the first member further includes a filter holding portion spaced a distance from the second member engaging portion.
7 . The closure system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a filter member; wherein the filter member is held within the first member to filter a material drawn through the straw assembly.
8 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the straw assembly is affixed to the mouthpiece.
9 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the engaging member includes a container engaging portion configured to removably fix the engaging member to the container.
10 . The closure system of claim 9 , further comprising:
an adapter member having a first engagement portion to engage the container engaging portion and a second engagement portion to engage the container.
11 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the engaging member includes a container engaging portion having a first engagement portion to engage a first container engagement feature and a second engagement portion to engage a second container engagement feature;
wherein the first container engagement feature is distinct from second container engagement feature.
12 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the second member is at least one of a telescoping member relative to the first member, flexible relative to the first member; breakable relative to the first member; interchangeable relative to the first member, or combinations thereof.
13 . The closure system of claim 1 , wherein the second member comprises a terminal end of a surface engaging portion that is configured to engage an internal surface of the container;
wherein the surface engaging portion defines a bore; wherein the terminal end is configured to contact the internal surface of the container while the bore allows passage of a fluid through the second member.
14 . A closure system for a container, comprising:
an engaging member having a mouthpiece engaging portion and a container engaging portion; a mouthpiece extending from the engaging member and engaged by the mouthpiece engaging portion, wherein the mouthpiece is configured to be contacted by a mouth of a user; a straw assembly extending from the mouthpiece, wherein the straw assembly includes:
a first member extending from a first end to a second end, wherein the first end is fixed relative to the mouthpiece, and
a second member extending from a third end to a fourth end;
wherein the third end is at least partially receivable within the second end of the first member;
wherein the second member is configured to telescope relative to the first member from a first position to a second position;
wherein the fourth end of the second member is further from the second end of the first member in the second position than in the first position; and
a filter portion held within the first member.
15 . The closure system of claim 13 , wherein the second end of the first member includes an internal cylindrical wall configured to engage an outer wall of the second member at the third end.
16 . The closure system of claim 13 , further comprising:
a sealing member positioned at the second end of the first member; wherein the sealing member sealing engages the second member relative to the first member to limit a passage of fluid to within a flow passage through the second member and not around the second member into the first member.
17 . The closure system of claim 13 , wherein the fourth end of the second member comprises a terminal end that is configured to engage an internal surface of the container;
wherein fourth end of the second member defines a bore; wherein the terminal end is configured to contact the internal surface of the container while the bore allows passage of a fluid through the second member.
18 . The closure system of claim 13 , further comprising:
an adapter member having a first engagement portion to engage the container engaging portion and a second engagement portion to engage the container.
19 . The closure system of claim 13 , wherein the container engaging portion has a first engagement portion to engage a first container engagement feature and a second engagement portion to engage a second container engagement feature;
wherein the first container engagement feature is distinct from second container engagement feature.
20 . A method of selecting a length of a straw assembly within a container, comprising:
extending a first member of the straw assembly to a first position relative to a second member of the straw assembly; contacting a terminal end of the first member with a surface within a container; pushing the first member into the surface with the second member to cause the first member to move to a second position relative to the second member; maintaining an opening through a bore formed near the terminal end; engaging an engaging member having a mouthpiece engaging portion and a container engaging portion to the container.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
