ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to bottles and, more particularly, to a cup assembly for a bottle.
2. Description of the Related Art
It is known to provide a bottle for containing liquids. Typically, the bottle is generally cylindrical with a closed end and an open end. When liquid is poured through the open end into a cup, the liquid may be spilled. Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide a cup assembly for a bottle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide a cup assembly for a bottle.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a cup assembly which is attached to an open end of a bottle.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a cup assembly to be integral with a bottle to prevent spilling of liquid therefrom.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a cup assembly which is removably attached to a bottle.
To achieve the foregoing object, the present invention is a cup assembly for a bottle. The cup assembly includes a body having a closed end with an aperture extending therethrough and an open end and a wall tapering from the closed end to the open end. The cup assembly includes an attachment mechanism to attach the body to an open end of the bottle to allow a user to drink from the open end of the body while attached to the bottle.
One advantage of the present invention is that a cup assembly is provided for a bottle. Another advantage of the present invention is that the cup assembly is integral with the bottle to prevent spilling of liquid therefrom. Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the cup assembly is removably attached to a bottle to allow a user to drink therefrom while attached to the bottle.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood after reading the subsequent description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.
