ABSTRACT:
A reusable, controlled release bottle closure for use with standard water bottles of the type associated with standard water cooler devices. The closure or cap is comprised of three main elements those being a molded plastic cap, an internal resilient gasket and a pull strap. The top surface of the cap has a circumfrential slot radiating ninety percent about a center point in the cap. The remaining ten percent area which is not a slot acts as an integral hinge so that the flat surface area within the slot can act as a flap. The resilient gasket lies directly under the top cap area and covers the circumfrential slot. The pull strap is attached to the flap so that when pulled, the flap and attached gasket are lifted up. When the cap assembly of the present invention is in place on a standard water bottle, the bottle may be turned upside down with out water spilling out. When the water bottle is in place on top of a standard water cooler, the pull strap may be used to release the water in a controlled fashion so as not to cause unwanted spilling of water in the area surrounding the water cooler.
