Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    This invention relates generally to the field of closures, seals and caps for containers, vessels, bottles and the like and more specifically to an improvement for a container closure apparatus with valve control and flow regulation abilities that hermetically seals use after use that remains attached during primary use with a permanent tamper evident seal with options for a multitude of tamper resistant seals and interchangeable, re-usable, recyclable, edible, disposable and collectable parts that act as a drinking and or pouring spout and or a funnel for filling and or refilling. 
         [0002]    The present invention further relates to a semi permanent closure mounted on, or packaged and sold separately, for use with but not limited to use with a container, bottle, vessel or hose mechanism that is not required to be removed from its mated container or hose during primary use. 
         [0003]    Patent searching has revealed over two thousand bottle and container like closures. To date the present invention appears to be the only one that is made of two pieces in its basic configuration that seals and reseals hermetically use after use without the need to ever remove it from its mated container while simultaneously enabling the maximum flow rate a mated container enables for by its design. The present invention also enables the outside atmosphere to enter back into a pouring, upright or upside down container when mated to it which serves gently expel the product out through the closure thus greatly reducing bubbling and gurgling and spitting. 
         [0004]    The following are examples of prior technology that we believe to be the closest comparisons to the present invention. Not one of them seals in the manner of the present invention nor have the many uses and novelty apparatus configurations and tool mechanisms available for use with them as does the present invention.

A two piece closure that restricts flow rate and which does not enable air to enter as product, goods or liquids are dispensed and according to its issued patent, U.S. Pat. No. 6,997,359 is only for use on consumable drinks. This closure relies on a secondary collar that first affixed to a neck of a threaded containers neck and may be susceptible to leaking while containing pressurized products, goods or liquids.

         [0020]    Beeson &amp; Sons U.K. PCT WO 03/004373 Twist Turn. Two-piece closure that restricts flow rate and which does not enable air to enter as product, goods or liquids dispensed. This closure also relies on a secondary collar that first affixed to a neck of a threaded containers neck and may be susceptible to leaking while containing pressurized products, goods or liquids. This closure opens and closes and seals in much the same manner as does U.S. Pat. No. 6,997,359 To date and after many exhaustive patent searches, the present invention appears to be the only one of its kind that is made of two base pieces in its basic configuration that seals hermetically without the need to ever remove it from its mated container while simultaneously enabling for the maximum flow rate a mated container enables for by its design and simultaneously enabling the outside atmosphere to enter back into the container while in use which serves to gently force the containers product out through the present invention thus greatly reducing bubbling and gurgling and spitting. 
         [0021]    Not one of the prior art that was searched revealed any closure or apparatus or mechanism that has as many if any of the secondary configurations and uses as does the present invention. 
         [0022]    Many contemporary designs feature a seal glued to the mouth of the containers opening that are to be thrown away immediately upon removal from their mated container. This leaves a potentially toxic substance adhered to the mouth of the opening to be ingested by humans and in most cases is difficult to remove as many offer little material to grab on so that even a physically normal person cannot remove with ease for nothing more than throwaway. This present invention solves this problem by eliminating the need for this throwaway seal as it features its own permanent safety seal as described and depicted. 
         [0023]    Many contemporary closures required removal from their mated containers prior to being able to dispense their containers contents. Many modern “Sports” caps, Oil containers, Bleach bottles, Anti-Freezes, brake fluid containers and the like also require the removal and then subsequent replacement of their mated closure prior to a product, goods or liquids dispensing. Many of these closure mechanisms feature a foil safety seal glued directly to the container, and are removed and disposed of prior to consumption. 
         [0024]    Once removed their closure must be replaced and never hermetically seals again. Their product now has a limited shelf life and is susceptible to contamination from outside sources such a dust and harmful microbes, moulds and bacteria&#39;s. The present invention solves this problem with an innovative permanent tamper resistant consumer safety seal mechanism and optional secondary safety seals. 
         [0025]    As in most of the prior as a person puts their entire mouth over the mouth of containers opening and begins to suck the contents from the container, the atmospheric pressure inside is greatly reduced and the container begins to collapse from the higher pressure on the outside of the container. When the mouth removed from sealing the opening of the container, the outside atmosphere rushes back in to replace that which was sucked out. This enables the ambient air pressure inside the container to equalize with the outside environment. This causes the container to spit residual contents back out of the containers mouth and mainly on to the consumer. The present invention eliminates this problem. 
         [0026]    Contemporary designs like those found on containers with contents being stored under pressure are often difficult to open and if shaken tend to leak or spill their contents outside of its desired destination. The shape of the invention serves to prevent this known problem. 
         [0027]    Contemporary designs require that consumers lift larger containers with two hands. Often grabbing them in this manner to lift and pour causes these soft walled containers to collapse forcing their product out of the container, spilling in an undesired location. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0028]    The present invention features no moving parts in its basic two-piece configuration and due only to the restraints of modern injection moulding and production capabilities can be produced with a minimum of two pieces which are then snapped, glued or welded to together to form the one-piece basic design prior to being mated with its intended container. A multitude of mechanisms added to this basic one-piece design to accommodate any number of applications. 
         [0029]    The present invention enables one-handed operation and opened by placing firmly in the mouth or grasping firmly in the teeth and then simply turning the container to open which for consumer convenience and appeal, features a valve flow control mechanism that enables the controlled flow of containers contents. 
         [0030]    The present invention enables maximum flow rate as the geometry of the inlet and outlet ports of the threaded base section and the inner disc section are always geometrically larger than the circumference of the containers opening. This simple &amp; important feature enables a free, smooth flow of containers contents through the closure to the outside environment. The flanged top portion of the threaded base section which permanently houses the inner disc section is engineered to support the upper and lower lips of consumers while simultaneously enabling the outside atmosphere to enter the container as product is dispensed. For liquid products such as beer, wine, pop, sports drinks, milk, juice, water and the like this means reduced bubbling and gurgling and spitting of fluids that are associated with many contemporary designs. 
         [0031]    The present invention features a permanent non-removable consumer safety, tamper evident seal that precludes the need to glue a foil seal to the containers mouth to achieve a re-usable hermetic seal. Unlike many contemporary designs this enables the present invention to hermetically seal and re-seal use after use. This is especially important in the application of containing perishable goods and products, contained under pressure, carbonated liquids or other liquids or substances that have had any type of gas diffused into their solution whether they are in a viscous, liquid, dry or gaseous state of existence. 
         [0032]    The present invention when comprised of two parts is economical to produce and assemble and was engineered to meet industry standard leak proof seal specifications while in the closed position while always enabling a maximum flow rate in its fully opened position. The modular structure of the invention enables economical applications of the technology while also enabling for more elaborate examples of the technology to be produced and profited from. 
         [0033]    Security features engineered into the bottom of the threaded base section restrict travel of the closure beyond a maximum opening position also serve to prevent premature removal of the present invention until such a time that it can be forcibly removed to be used in a secondary capacity as described and is of large enough size as to serve to prevent being swallowed by small children or animals. The travel restrictor mechanism enables for the present invention not to be misplaced or accidentally discarded. By permanently remaining attached to its mated container enables residual contents to be contained until such a time that proper disposal can be arranged. 
         [0034]    The invention enables products, fluids and goods to be separated up as they leave the container through the inlet and outlet passages of the threaded base and inner disc sections thus reducing turbulence as a product, goods or liquid is being dispensed through the closure. This enables atmosphere to mix freely with the product, goods or liquid being dispensed. This further serves to prevent the inlet and outlet passages from becoming clogged by excess product, goods or liquids trying to escape all at once which in turn enables a smoother consistent flow rate. 
         [0035]    The closure features a permanent non-removable safety seal and dependent upon its application it has a secondary safety seal placed on the top of the closure where it will serve to act as tamper evident safety seal and an advertising platform for consumer messages and education and extended brand exposure for advertisers. This seal is also intended to be a collectible piece that will feature famous people, things and places. It is intended to create a collectable safety seal series not unlike Pogs and the cardboard milk seals of glass bottled dairy fame still in use today. A collectible seal will serve to keep this disposable piece from garbage dumps and recycle yards. 
         [0036]    The invention relates to a semi permanent apparatus mounted on to a hose apparatus and used as a nozzle mechanism that is not required to be removed from its mated hose during primary use. Other closures we have discovered do not close or seal hoses under pressure. The simplistic solid one-piece construction design of the present invention prevents the leaking that is sometimes associated with similarly shaped hose nozzles that consist of two or more working parts that move independent of each other. Many of these have an internal grommet that seals and separates their internal mechanisms which eventually wears or dries out and then cause them to fail and ultimately leak. With no such parts, moving or otherwise inside of the present invention there is nothing to wear out and thus leakage is reduced if not eliminated. 
         [0037]    The present invention features an inner sealer lip seats on and seals the closure to the mouth of the container whilst in its opened position. This provides seamless two-way access for atmosphere and product, goods or liquid to effortlessly pass each while the closure is in use while simultaneously preventing product, goods or liquids from leaking between and then passed the threaded sections of the mated container and the closure to the outside environment. 
         [0038]    The present invention is non-removable during primary use also serves to keep many insects and other foreign materials from entering the container whilst the closure remains in the opened position and can be fitted with a screen mechanism to further serve this purpose. 
         [0039]    Its larger flanged base and hermetically resealing disc with accompanied spout or funnel mechanism enables consumers to readily refill empty containers without the need to remove the present invention from its mated container. In an alternative embodiment, the closure is removed and inverted, then replaced prior to use. Mainly for use in the automotive spare fuel tank sector, this embodiment features an extendable funnel that seals as one solid piece against its mated container. This design serves to prevent failure and leakage. 
         [0040]    Further embodiment&#39;s enable the closure to act as a simultaneous measuring and pouring device and except for its top stopper plug mechanism is not required to be removed from its mated container in its effort to perform the function of both a measuring and pouring device. A novel long neck clear configuration of the closure that features up to four moulded pieces features graduated measuring marks and is designed specifically to perform the function of a measuring device, pouring spout and funnel for refilling which precludes the need for an outside measuring apparatus. This serves to contain toxic substance until such a time as they need to be dispensed. This prevents the handling of dangerous and toxic substances in two stages. This prevents splashes and spillage while handling and dispensing dangerous products goods and liquids. This is especially important for handling toxic and corrosive substances such as 35% food grade H2O2, liquid or powdered bleaches, household oven cleaners, brake or transmission fluids or muriatic or sulphuric acids. 
         [0041]    This apparatus requires little effort to open and close and its large flanged size accommodates both those young and old alike and especially those afflicted with physical disabilities and those with arthritic like medical maladies and enables a secure grip and provides much needed leverage that enables consumers to lift and drink from the container using only one hand to lift and drink and pour. 
         [0042]    Originally conceived to replace a funnel mechanism from which to pour auto additives into motor vehicles it has progressed into the present invention with several uses and configurations. Its many secondary uses require its forced removal from its mated container mainly after a contained product has been dispensed and can be used as a drinking apparatus, measuring apparatus, funnel apparatus, pouring spout apparatus, toy apparatus, sports aid apparatus, emergency apparatus, collectible piece, advertising platform mechanism, hook apparatus and a multitude of other novelty apparatuses and mechanisms. 
         [0043]    The present invention made from a multitude of materials like plastic, steel, aluminums, bubble gum, and chocolate and corn starch but is not limited to just these materials for its construction and manufacture. Edible and biodegradable configurations of the present invention serve to reduce waste and pollution. 
         [0044]    The present invention is equally efficient when in use on carbonated, non-carbonated, dairy, water, soft drinks, sports drinks, juices. As the closure instantly reseals with a simple twist in the opposite direction in which it was opened a hermetic seal is formed use after use preserving freshness and extending shelf life of a multitude of products, goods &amp; liquids. 
         [0045]    Designed specifically to fit each individual, the dimensions of the present invention are ergonomically engineered and are of a sufficient diameter as to accommodate any size or shape of the human mouth. 
         [0046]    The large angular flange section of the threaded base section serves to hook the closure to the lip of the vessel that its contents are being poured into. This serves to prevent the accidental slipping of the closure and its mated container and subsequent spillage of product, goods or liquids while dispensing their contents. 
         [0047]    For the grocer&#39;s shelf, the flanged section is utilized to hang the closure and mated container from underneath shelves instead of on top. This makes available more valuable topside shelf space and enables retailers and wholesalers to make efficient use of their limited shelf space. More products stocked in smaller spaces means less space required to vend the product in turn equates to reduced operating expenses for retailers and wholesalers.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0082]    Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein not interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in a multitude of appropriately detailed systems, structures or manners. In all embodiments of the first embodiment as depicted in  FIG. 1  contained herein, this closure invention relates generally to the field of closures, seals and caps for containers, vessels, bottles and the like and more specifically to a container closure apparatus with a flow control valve that hermetically seals use after use that remains attached during primary use with a permanent tamper evident seal with options for a multitude of interchangeable, re-usable, recyclable, edible, disposable and collectable parts that act as drinking and or pouring spouts and or funnels for filling and or refilling and are further able to act, but not limited to acting, as a valuable advertising space for sale, lease or rent. 
         [0083]    Turning now to the drawings of the said apparatus and relating to the present invention in detail and beginning with  FIG. 1 , the closure  50  comprising of an inner piece or section  51  hereinafter, the inner piece  51  and having an outer piece or section  52  hereinafter, the outer piece  52 . Each inner piece  51  is permanently married to each outer piece  52  in the manufacturing process and is done so that a singular one-piece with non movable parts engineered design could be achieved as depicted in the first embodiment. Together the inner piece  51  and the outer piece  52  form the first embodiment for the closure  50  which is a one piece closure design with no internal moving parts, which is shown in  FIG. 1  in the closed position mounted on an added for demonstration purposes only, sample of a container neck, mouth and neck support assembly hereinafter, the container  53  with a neck support  70  as depicted in  FIG. 3  of the present invention. The neck support  70  of the container  53  serves to assist the user to lift and pour from the closure  53  which is mated to the container  53  in a semi permanent manner. 
         [0084]    The outer piece  52  and the inner piece  51 , when married in the manufacturing process perform a synchronous function so that the closure  50  and the container  53  can go from the open position to the hermetically sealed closed position directly without the need for an added and separate inner sealer liner which has been replaced in the present invention with an inner lip  61  as depicted in  FIG. 2  and which remains hermetically sealed until such a time that a user chooses to open the container  53  by manipulating the closure  50 . The closure  50  performs this function by moving independently of the container  53  from the open position to the closed and the hermetically sealed position. 
         [0085]    It is intended that the closure  50  be re-usable and that the travel restrictor mechanisms  54  featured in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , hereinafter, the restrictors  54 , will prevent premature removal of the closure  50  until such a time that a consumer chooses to remove it forcibly and then to re-use it. 
         [0086]    The inner piece  51  includes, but is not limited to a conical shaped central disc  55 , hereinafter, the central disc  55 . In  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2  it is attached to both suspension legs  56 , hereinafter, the legs  56  also shown in  FIG. 1  and the inner ring assembly  57 , hereinafter, the inner ring  57  of  FIG. 1 . The legs  56  support the central disc  55  as being permanently attached to the inner ring  57 . 
         [0087]    The inner piece  51  fits permanently inside the inner ring cup support housing assembly  58 , hereinafter, the cup assembly  58  of the outer section  52  and does not move once permanently mated with the outer piece  52  in the manufacturing process. The outer piece  52  comprises of the cup assembly  58  and an apparatus piece support ledge  59 , hereinafter, the ledge  59  which is not present in the embodiment of the basic design of  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4 . The outer piece  52  also houses the restrictors  54  and is shown in the sealed position in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 4  of the present invention. 
         [0088]    As shown in  FIG. 2  and in accordance to the closure  50  and to the open atmospheric space between the legs  56  of the inner section  51  is an inlet and outlet passage collectively known as inlet/outlet passage  60  hereinafter, the passage  60 , which enables product, goods or liquids to flow freely from the container  53  through the inside of the closure  50 , past the inner sealer lip  61 , hereinafter, the lip  6 , out to the outside environment or into a novel funnel spout section  66 , hereinafter, the novelty apparatus  66  of  FIG. 4 . In  FIG. 2 , the inner piece  51  is shown dissembled from the outer section  52 . This enables the viewer to see the inner sealer lip  61 , the outer piece inner threads  62  hereinafter, the inner threads  62  of  FIG. 2  and the deflection ramp  63 , hereinafter, the ramp  63  of  FIG. 2  and the outer piece inlet-outlet passage  64 , hereinafter, the outer passage  64  of the inner piece  51  of  FIG. 2 . 
         [0089]    Alternatively the closure  50  may have many interchangeable sections which include, but are not limited to novelties, hooks, top plugs, toy tops, advertising platforms, collectible pieces, foil tamper evident seals with consumer messages, cork seals, cardboard seals, plastic seals, metal seals, shrink wrap seals or hinged lid sealer configurations. The optional ledge  59  which is not always present as shown in  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4  and  FIG. 6 , supports a multitude of interchangeable novelty apparatus like sections. 
         [0090]    In the embodiment of  FIG. 2  of the present invention the topside of the central disc  55  is angled from a sharp point outward from its center and downward. The semi-diamond shape or conical shape of the top of the central disc  55  is designed to deflect product returning to the container in a gravitational manner down passed the legs  56  and through the inner passage  60  when the closure is in the opened position and the container  53  and the closure  50  are in the upright position. Product, goods or liquids deflected down past and over the edge of the central disc  55  and through the open spaces of the legs  56 . 
         [0091]    The angled surfaces on the legs  56  both top and bottom serve to prevent product from attaching itself to the legs  56  whether it be going in or out of the container  53 . 
         [0092]    The outer passage  64  of  FIG. 2  of the outer piece  52  enables product to flow from the container  53  past the inner lip  61  then deflect away from and around the hermetic seal mechanism  65 , hereinafter, the hermetic seal  65  of  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4  and  FIG. 5 . Product, goods or liquids then pass through the central disc  55  then through the inner passage  60  and out by and over the legs  56  and the inner ring  57  which enables the containers contents to flow out of the closure  50  to be dispensed to directly to the outside environment or through a novelty apparatus  66  and then to be dispensed to the outside environment. The majority of returning product, goods or liquids is then deflected past the central disc  55  onto the inner surface of the ramp  63  of the outer piece  52  where the returning contents then slide past and over the lip  61  returning back into container  53  by use of gravitational forces. 
         [0093]    The ramp  63  of  FIG. 2 , angled in such a manner as to serve to direct containers contents to freely flow in and out through the closure  50  and the container  53 . The ramp  63  has an angular surface which is not predetermined and will change from configuration to configuration, novelty apparatus  66  to novelty apparatus  66  and size to size. As the size of closure  50  increases or decreases to fit hermetically to any size container, vessel or bottle opening, the angle of the ramp  63  will increase or decrease as will its steepness dependent upon the closure  50 &#39;s finished width. The shape and size of the cup support  58  also varies from configuration to configuration, novelty apparatus  66  to novelty apparatus  66  and size to size. In  FIG. 2  the shape, size and height of the cup support  58  and the inner ring  57 , and which also depicts the ledge  59  will vary from configuration to configuration, novelty apparatus  66  to novelty apparatus  66  and size to size. 
         [0094]    As depicted in the cross section, image of  FIG. 3 , in the open position the inner threads  62  mate and work in consort with the container threads  75 , hereinafter, the container threads  75 . As the container  53  is held firmly and the closure  50  is turned by a consumer, the closure  50  travels along the path of the inner threads  62  and the container threads  75 . This action causes the closure  50  to raise and lower dependent upon the direction in which it is being turned. As the closure  50  comes open, the hermetic seal  65  is broken and the containers contents are ready to be dispensed. When the restrictors  54  reach their maximum open position as depicted in  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4 , locked under container neck restrictor stop, hereinafter, the restrictor stop  71  of  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , the inner lip  61  snaps downward and forms a semi permanent seal against the container  53 &#39;s leading edge  67 , hereinafter, the edge  67 . The inner seal  61  used to guide the containers contents past the ramp  63 , the hermetic seal, the central disc  55 , the legs  56  and the inner ring  57  through the inner passage  60  and out to a novelty apparatus  66  or directly out to the outside environment. For incoming products, goods or liquids, the central disc  55 , the legs,  56  and the inner ring  57  guide the incoming contents down onto the ramp  63 , then down the ramp  63  over and past the inner lip  61  through the inner passage  60  and back into container  53 . 
         [0095]      FIG. 4  depicts an optional top stopper mechanism  68 , hereinafter, the top plug  68  which is comprised with or without an o-ring seal  69  to provide a hermetic seal. This o-ring or other seal seats against the inside wall of a novelty apparatus  66 . The top plug  68  is removed by consumers prior to or just after opening and closing the closure  50 . 
         [0096]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 5  depicts the closure  50  in a closed position with the inner lip  61  bent gently upwards and back causing it to take on energy and thus become spring loaded. As the central disc  55  comes down to seal the mouth of container  53  on edge  67  the flexible inner lip  61  follows the container threads  75  down the container  53 &#39;s neck while maintaining a constant semi-permanent seal with container  53 . This serves to prevent leakage from any residual product that may remain in the closure  50  after hermetically sealing  65  the edge  67 .  FIG. 5  depicts a cross section of inner threads  62  and the container threads  75 , the travel restrictors  54  and the inner lip  61  serves to create the hermetic seal  65  between the closure  50  and the container  53  and also serves to stabilize the closure further preventing side-to-side motion and thread pattern leakage while closure  50  is in its fully opened position. 
         [0097]    In a clear or see through configuration of a novelty apparatus  66  with the top plug  68  firmly and hermetically in place and fitted with the graduate scale markings, hereinafter, the graduate scale  74  as shown in  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 8  is designed for pre measuring a containers contents prior to dispensing from the container  53  and the closure  50  with top plug  68  sealed in place in the mouth of the novelty apparatus  66  funnel or spout. The device sealed in this manner can then be inverted and while inverted a consumer firmly holds the container  53  and then gently turns the closure  50 . Upon opening the closure  50 , the containers contents can be released and poured directly into chamber  73  of  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 7  and  FIG. 8  which is secured from spillage or leakage by the o-ring seal  69 . Using a graduate scale  74  of  FIG. 6 , one simply fills the chamber  73  to the measured amount needed for their application of which ever containers contents they choose to dispense from it. Upon reaching the level of this measured amount, the user needs to simply twist the closure  50  in the opposite direction to close and to trap the containers contents inside of the chamber  73  between the top plug  68  and a the inner section  51 . To dispense the contents now trapped in chamber  73 , simply re-invert the still sealed container  53 , the closure  50  and the top plug  68  together as one unit. When fully righted then remove the top plug  68 , tilt to pour from the container  53  and the closure  50  to dispense containers contents. This serves to diminish the number of times that any given product needs to be handled or placed into extraneous containers prior to dispensing; especially for those potentially dangerous substances such as toxic house hold cleaners, fuels and fuel additives. 
         [0098]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 7  depicts a fourth embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention with a novelty apparatus  66  in its invertible funnel and spout configuration. This fourth embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention comes in numerous lengths and circumferences and body configurations and is mainly used but not limited to use as a replacement mechanism for gasoline and water transportation containers, vessels or bottles and to enable consumers to mix and pour contents of containers such as those used in the gasoline additive industry without the need to use an extraneous funnel, pouring or measuring mechanism. This reduces the overall number of times a substance needs to be transferred from one vessel to another and then to its final intended destination. To use, remove the top plug  68  and pour the additives into the chamber  73  with the closure  50  in the closed position. After filling the chamber  73  to the desired level by utilizing the graduate scale  74 , simply replace and seal the top plug  68  into the mouth opening of chamber the  73 . Now by turning the closure  50  to the opened position, this will enable additives currently trapped in chamber  73  to freely pour back into container  53 . Viewing into the see through or semi clear chamber  73 , it is easily distinguishable when its trapped contents have passed through the closure  50  and down in, to mix with the contents of the container  53 . At this time simply return the closure  50  to the closed position. The container  53  is now ready to be shaken enabling the now semi mixed contents of the container  53  to thoroughly mix within the confines of the now sealed container  53 . After a satisfactory amount of time has passed in the shaking process, the consumer can now remove the top plug  68  and return the closure  53  to its opened position ready to pour the completely mixed contents of the container  53 . It should be cautioned that the sealed containers  53  contents, once shaken while sealed will tend to build up pressure and then off gas as the closure  50  is re-opened. This off gassing effect for the most part will be contained within the confines of the novelty apparatus  66  as the top plug  68  is slowly removed from the novelty apparatus  66 . The added height of the novelty apparatus  66  serves to contain contents that bubble or froth after mixing, stirring, shaking, disturbing or leaving in a warm to hot environment. This serves to reduce spillage and environmental damage and possible toxic burns and or poisonings due to periodic spills and splashes normally associated with much of the prior art. When ready to store a container featuring this embodiment, simply remove the closure  50  with integrated threaded funnel apparatus  81  from the container  53  and invert the closure  50 . Place the inverted closure  50  with integrated threaded funnel apparatus  81  into the container  53  mouth with the top plug  68  hermetically sealed and in place. Screw the closure  50  down tightly using the integrated threaded funnel apparatus  81  into the container  53  to form a hermetic seal. The top plug  68  now sits deep into the containers  53  mouth and acts to seal the closure  50  and the container  53 . 
         [0099]    The direct intention for inversion of the closure  50  in this manner and placement of the closure  50  in this embodiment is to reduce the overall height of closure  50  mainly for shipping, handling, stacking and storing purposes. 
         [0100]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 8  depicts a cross sectional view of a second embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention in the opened position with the top plug  68 . This embodiment of  FIG. 1  depicts the graduate scale  74  for measuring and pouring and works in a similar manner as to that of the third embodiment in  FIG. 6 . 
         [0101]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 9  depicts a perspective view of a fifth embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention showing a novelty apparatus as a short neck funnel spout with grooved striations  78  enables a firm grip and are useful for grabbing, holding, carrying, pouring or drinking from the closure  50  directly. 
         [0102]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 10  depicts a cross-sectional view of a sixth embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention which features a diamond shaped contents deflection mechanism attached as a permanent component to the underside of the central disc  55  hereinafter, the diamond  77 , which utilizes the hermetic seal  65  placed just outside of the circumference of the diamond  77  to seal the closure  50  to the container  53 . Protruding deeper into the mouth of the container  53  than the embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention, this full diamond  77  enables thicker products like cold oils and condiments such as ketchup, relish and mustard to flow freely and continuously from the container  53  through the inner passage  60  between the legs  56 , through the novelty apparatus  66  and out the mouth of the closure  50  to be dispensed to the outside. 
         [0103]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 11  depicts an exploded view of the embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention in its basic two piece configuration with a bottom up perspective and clearly depicts angular base  76  which is used to assist in the transporting of the closure  50  and a full or partially full container  53  of  FIG. 1 . The angular base  76  is purposely shaped to assist in, but is not limited to the opening, closing, removing, lifting, pouring, storing of, stocking of, drinking from and handling of the closure  50  and the container  53  as in the embodiment of  FIG. 1 . The angular base  76  is not limited to this shape and angle in future and existing embodiments of the present invention. 
         [0104]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 12  depicts a perspective view of the under side of the inner piece  51 , which is the most critical and proprietary component of all embodiments of the present invention.  FIG. 12  clearly shows the hermetic seal  65  that seats with and hermetically seals and re-seals the edge  67  use after use of the closure  50  and the container  53 . 
         [0105]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 13  depicts an exploded view of the second embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention and a view of inner lip  61 . 
         [0106]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 14  depicts a perspective view of the fifth embodiment of  FIG. 1  showing a functional ornamental design for the top plug  68  and the novelty apparatus  66 . Originally designed for, but not limited to the oil and automotive added industry. In example, to dispense containers contents through this embodiment of the original invention, simply remove the top plug  68  and place the opened end of the novelty apparatus  66  into the filler receptacle of a motorized vehicle. Holding the closure  50  firmly, twist the container  53  to open the closure  50  and to dispense the containers contents into the motor or engine. Simply hold the closure  50  and twist the container in an opposite direction to seal the closure  50  and the container  53 . This serves to contain any residual content left clinging to the inside walls of the container  53  until the closure  50  and the sealed container  53  find their way to a recycle station or disposal yard. As with the prior art, this residual content may otherwise spill or leak out into the natural environment as many consumers simply open, remove and throwaway the standard closures and caps that adorn most manufactured automotive additive containers presently.  FIG. 14  also depicts the travel restrictors  54  in the fully closed position atop the container  53 . 
         [0107]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 15  depicts a full perspective view of the second embodiment of  FIG. 1  of the present invention. 
         [0108]    In accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 16  depicts a perspective view of a sixth embodiment of  FIG. 1  which features a child&#39;s toy spin top hereinafter, the spin top  79 . In this embodiment the top plug  68  is a spin pin mechanism hereinafter, the spin pin  80  that serves to act as an integral component of the closure  50  during and after its initial use which is to be re-used. When a product, goods or liquid is emptied from container  53  and the spin top  79  is removed from the container  53 , it is then restructured by the user to form a spin top  79 . This embodiment of  FIG. 1  comes with a string and finger holding mechanism that enables the restructured closure  50  to be manipulated and then thrown by a user to create a spinning motion. The spin top  79  is not limited to the current embodiment and future embodiments of  FIG. 16  may or may not include additional components and designs. During the shipping and pre-purchase the spin-pin  80  acts as secondary back up seal to the hermetic seal  65  and as a dust cover and tamper evident consumer safety seal. Dependent upon the level of security needed to be obtained and to avoid tampering of the closure  50  with the spin-pin  80  may also feature a shrink wrap safety seal. 
         [0109]    Not depicted is a perspective view of a seventh embodiment of  FIG. 1  which features a hook spout which serves to enable this embodiment to act as a hook mechanism that can support the closure and a full or partially full container.
