ABSTRACT:
A combined bottle cap and straw structure for a liquid containing bottle is disclosed. The cap includes a liner secured thereto which extends across a central region of the cap. In a first embodiment, a hollow cylindrical straw is formed integrally with the liner. A frangible region is formed at the junction between the liner and the straw. A relatively small aperture is formed through the frangible region to vent the interior of the straw to the interior of the bottle. When the cap is removed from the bottle, the straw remains attached to the cap for easy grasping. The straw can flexed relative to the cap to separate it from the liner along the frangible region. In a second embodiment, the liner is provided with an integral protrusion which extends into the open end of the bottle. The straw is formed separately from the liner, but is sized to be frictionally retained on the protrusion. The protrusion includes a relatively small groove to vent the interior of the straw portion to the interior of the bottle.
