Abstract:
Reusable drinking bottle closures, and methods and systems for storing and using the same, are provided. The drinking bottle closures include a sealing portion, an upper side that may bear indicia, and a magnet retained in fixed relation to the sealing portion and the upper side. The magnet may be retained in a cavity of the closure separated from the sealing portion by a seamless barrier, such as a unitary body comprised at least partially in the sealing portion. The sealing portion may fit one or multiple bottle opening sizes. Multiple opening sizes may be accommodated by a frictionally retained tapered plug feature for sealing insertion into a bottle opening, or an end sealing feature operating in conjunction with a separate retention feature, such as a radially compressible cap liner configured to grip bottle threads in an interference fit. The end sealing feature may be a downward-facing compressible ring or disc on a lower side of the closure. In a method of use, the cap may be retained on a magnetically attracted surface until used to close and identify a drinking bottle. The magnetically attracted surface may be part of an existing wall, fixture, or movable article, or it may be a component of a closure storage system according to the invention, such as a plate connected to a mount for connecting the magnetic surface to a non-magnetic surface, such as a pushpin, suction cup, hook-and-loop fastener patch, snap, button, fabric with a button-hole, adhesive, or hole in the surface itself.

Claim (Index 1):
A drinking bottle closure comprising\n a sealing portion operative to alternately fit disposable plastic beverage bottles having different bottle opening sizes, the sealing portion comprising a sealing surface and a non-magnetic retention feature, the sealing surface operative to sealingly engage a bottle opening of each of the disposable plastic beverage bottles, and the non-magnetic retention feature operative to impart an upward contact force to the respective disposable plastic beverage bottle to resist removal of the closure body in an upward direction from said sealing engagement of the sealing surface with the respective bottle opening; an upper side configured to bear identifying indicia; a lower end; and a magnet retained vertically proximate to the lower end of the bottle closure and disposed to be isolated from fluid communication with the interior of the respective plastic beverage bottle when the sealing portion sealingly engages the respective bottle opening, the magnet operative to hold the lower end of the bottle closure against a magnetically attracted storage surface so that the upper side faces away from the storage surface.
