Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to caps, closures, seals, and containers, and control of flow of fluids. Certain embodiments can be used with fluids related to machinery, for instance, engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure effectively hold and transfer a fluid or a fluid substance, further being able to open, close, and regulate fluid flow. Embodiments include a single piece tubular component that includes a cap interiorly attached to such tubular component with ribs, and a container having a tapered end. In certain embodiments, a nozzle collar having a tapered end is adapted to attach to a container.

Claim (Index 1):
A closure component, comprising:\n a first body having a proximal end, a distal end, and an opening therebetween; the first body further comprising threads on an internal aspect; an inner cap disposed between the distal end and the proximal end of the first body; the inner cap having a lower surface having a convexity and a diameter; a first rib and a second rib, having connection to the inner cap and the inner aspect of the first body; the first rib having an angular offset from the second rib; a first vent and a second vent disposed between the ribs; a tapered head comprising a proximal end with an opening therethrough, and outer threads configured to threadably engage with the threads of the first body; and the tapered head further comprising a lip having a diameter equal to or less than the diameter of the inner cap, wherein the rotation of the first body in a first direction in relation to the tapered head, with the threads of the first body and tapered head engaged, until the lower surface of the inner cap contacts the lip, thereby resulting in a closed configuration, and wherein the rotation of the first body in a second direction in relation to the tapered head until the lower surface of the inner cap no longer contacts the lip, thereby results in an open configuration.
