ABSTRACT:
A carbonated beverage bottle handle, pour and storage device comprises bottle top, flapper, handle and actuator portions. The bottle top portion defines a spout screwed to a bottle. The handle portion is fixed to the bottle top portion, and is gripped for holding a bottle. The actuator portion is squeezable toward the handle portion. The flapper portion is joined to the actuator portion and positioned over the spout to be lifted to and from the bottle top portion, to allow liquid to be poured. A stopper is attached to the flapper portion such that lifting the flapper portion lifts the stopper, opening the top of the attached bottle. A screw-threaded, segmented collar welded in the bottle top portion forms female threads for screwing to the bottle. The stopper includes a dome and an annular outer wall, and defines an interior within the annular outer wall. The dome and all of the stopper are formed of material which is flexible in the range of pressures exerted by carbonated beverages. The dome is integrated into the outer wall. As a result of composition and configuration, the dome flexes under action of beverage pressure, exerting outward pressure on the stopper outer wall. The outer wall has a clearance fit within the top of an attached bottle. Under action of outward pressure on the outer wall, exerted by the dome under pressure of a beverage, the outer wall increases the effectiveness of the stopper within the top of the beverage bottle.
