Abstract
A resealable cap includes a container top comprising a plurality of protrusions extending inward assembly includes a beauty cap positioned on a top of the cap assembly that has an interface extending along a midpoint of the beauty cap and also includes a lug cap coupled to the beauty cap and including a lug cap interface positioned about a perimeter of the lug cap and configured to receive the plurality of protrusions. A tamper insert is coupled to the beauty cap at an underside of the beauty cap and positioned within the interface.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A resealable cap, comprising:
a container top comprising a plurality of protrusions extending inward from the container top; and a cap assembly threadably coupled to the container top, the cap assembly comprising:
a beauty cap positioned on a top of the cap assembly and comprising an interface extending along a midpoint of the beauty cap; and
a lug cap coupled to the beauty cap and comprising a lug cap interface positioned about a perimeter of the lug cap and configured to receive the plurality of protrusions; and
a tamper insert coupled to the beauty cap at an underside of the beauty cap and positioned within the interface.
2 . The resealable cap of claim 1 , wherein the cap assembly is repositionable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and wherein the tamper insert is configured to engage the protrusion when the cap assembly is in the locked position.
3 . The resealable cap of claim 2 , wherein the tamper insert is configured to disengage from the protrusion when the cap assembly is positioned into the unlocked position, and wherein the protrusion prevents the cap assembly from repositioning back into the locked position.
4 . The resealable cap of claim 3 , wherein the container top includes a tamper identifier positioned about a top of the container top and configured to signify a position of the cap assembly.
5 . The resealable cap of claim 4 , wherein the tamper identifier is a laser etched identifier comprising a plurality of identifiers, the plurality of identifiers positioned opposite another.
6 . The resealable cap of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of identifiers comprises a locked identifier and an unlocked identifier, and wherein the interface of the beauty cap is aligned with the locked identifier and the unlocked identifier to signify a position of the cap assembly.
7 . The resealable cap of claim 6 , wherein a profile of the tamper insert is substantially similar to a profile of the interface, and wherein the tamper insert is held within the interface.
8 . The resealable cap of claim 7 , wherein the lug cap includes one or more lug cap interfaces extending vertically along an inner surface of the lug cap, wherein the tamper insert is insertably coupled to the beauty cap along the one or more lug cap interfaces, and wherein the plurality of protrusions are selectively received within the lug cap interfaces.
9 . The resealable cap of claim 8 , wherein the tamper insert comprises:
a first end and a second end positioned opposite one another; a body centrally provided within the tamper insert; a transition portion positioned between the body and the respective first end and second end; and wherein the transition portion is configured to flex upon rotation of the cap assembly from a locked position to an unlocked position.
10 . The resealable cap of claim 8 , wherein the tamper insert comprises an insert interface positioned at a first end and a second end of the tamper insert, the insert interface configured to engage the protrusion.
11 . The resealable cap of claim 10 , wherein the cap assembly is selectively repositionable between a closed position and an open position, and wherein the open position is any position of the cap assembly that permits a flow of fluid therethrough.
12 . The resealable cap of claim 11 , wherein the tamper insert is repositionable from a compressed position and a normal position, wherein the tamper insert is in the compressed position when the cap assembly is in a locked position, and wherein an end of the tamper insert is configured to decompress outward past the protrusion when the tamper insert is in the normal position.
13 . The resealable cap of claim 12 , wherein the container top is fixedly coupled to a top of a container to couple the resealable cap to the container.
14 . The resealable cap of claim 13 , wherein the beauty cap comprises one or more drink interfaces positioned opposite one another along an outer edge of the beauty cap and positioned offset the interface of the beauty cap, the one or more drink interfaces configured to transition a flow of fluid therebetween.
15 . The resealable cap of claim 14 , wherein the beauty cap comprises one or more cavities positioned on either side of the interface and extending downward from a top of the beauty cap, the one or more cavities configured to receive a portion of a user.Cited by (0)
