Patent ID: 10501242

Abstract:
A drinking cap for a bottle includes a screwable drinking section for mating with screw threads of a bottle and a covering cap, hinged to the drinking section. The drinking section is provided with a cylindrical shaped spout of about ¼-¾ inches in height and about ¼-½ inch in outside diameter, all to enhance normal oral motor development and physiological development of a person's mouth. An air vent and air connecting air channel provided to the drinking section so that a drinker's lips, even if covering the opening of the air vent, will not block the passage of air into the cavity of the bottle to which the device is attached, ensuring no negative air pressure therein due to sucking. Mechanisms are provided for preventing leakage, ensuring free, easy flow of fluid when sucking is initiated, and ensuring safety to a child using or near the device.
