Patent ID: 6837392

Claim:
An arrangement for resealing a beverage container having a top with an aperture that can be opened to discharge the beverage and an outer bead around the top, the arrangement comprising: a main cap for engagement over the beverage container top for covering the beverage container top, the main cap having a threaded neck with an opening therethrough for discharging beverage from the beverage container; a seal member hermetically connected to the main cap and extending toward the beverage container when the main cap is over the beverage container, the seal member having a free flexible pressure sealing portion adapted to engage against and hermetically seal with the beverage container, for resealing the aperture, the pressure sealing portion having an outer surface which, with the main cap engaged over the beverage container, lies at least partially against the container, and an exposed inner surface so that pressure from the beverage container acts on the inner surface of the pressure sealing portion and presses the outer surface of the sealing portion against the container to increase the hermetic sealing effect; locking means connected to the main cap for removably fixing the main cap to the beverage container with sufficient force to resist pressure from, and to maintain pressure in the beverage container; a secondary cap threadably engaged to the threaded neck of the main cap for closing the opening through the main cap with sufficient force to resist pressure from, and to maintain pressure in the beverage container, the secondary cap extending over and fully covering the main cap and locking means; and anti-rotation means extending from the main cap for engagement to resist co-rotation of the main and secondary caps when the secondary cap is threadably engaged onto and off the threaded neck, the anti-rotation means comprising an anti-rotation projection extending outwardly from the main cap end beyond the secondary cap for engagement by a user to hold the main cap against rotation.
