Abstract:
1. A cap for a bottle, comprising: a main cap body formed from a first material and removably securable to the bottle, the main cap body having a spout removably attached to the main cap body and formed from a second material relatively more resilient than the first material and defining a passageway through the spout and the main cap body, wherein when the main cap body is secured to the bottle a fluid within the bottle can pass through the passageway defined by the spout, the passageway further being sufficiently large to allow the fluid to freely pour from the spout, the main cap body having threads for engaging a mating threaded surface on the bottle, the main cap body further forming a neck comprising neck threads; and an overcap removably attached to the main cap body, the overcap having an insert and overcap threads, the overcap being selectively attachable to the main cap body in a first position in which the insert is snugly received by the spout but in which the overcap threads are not engaged with the neck threads, and a second position in which the insert is received relatively farther within the spout and in which the overcap threads are engaged with the neck threads, the overcap and spout cooperating to form a substantially watertight seal when the overcap is in both the first position and the second position; the spout further having an interior surface having an annular spout rib extending inwardly from the interior surface toward the passageway, the overcap further having an annular overcap rib positioned on and extending laterally outward from the insert, whereby the annular spout rib engages the insert and the annular overcap rib engages the interior surface to form the substantially watertight seal when the overcap is in the first position.
