- This inventionhas to do with a bottle and cap assembly and is especially concerned with small potable water and other beverage containers that have a closure means or cap that can be replaced or is desired on the bottle opening after initial use, to retain the liquid in the bottle.
- Capped potable water and other beverage containersare used or transported by people during their daily activities.
- the containers or bottlesare usually in the liquid volume range capable of human consumption and facilitate ease of transportation by the individual person.
- Such containers or bottlesmay be in the 6 oz to 20 oz range but other volumes are contemplated.
- the person using such a bottlemay not consume or even desire to consume the entire contents of the potable liquid in the bottle or container at one time.
- the typical practiceis to carry the liquid container with the person and to use or consume limited contents at spaced intervals of time. When consuming the contents over spaced time intervals it is desirable to re-cap or re-close the container so that the contents cannot spill or otherwise empty in an unwanted manner.
- Capsusually have a threaded connection with the upper neck portion of the bottle and once removed they are free of any connection with the container.
- a personmay put the cap in their pocket, carry the cap in their hand, or lay the cap down on a convenient and known location.
- Other bottleshave a tethered connection between the neck of the bottle and the cap such that when the cap in unscrewed or removed from the opening it still remains attached and kind of hangs to one side of the opening until its re-use is desired.

Abstract
Description
- This invention has to do with a bottle and cap assembly and is especially concerned with small potable water and other beverage containers that have a closure means or cap that can be replaced or is desired on the bottle opening after initial use, to retain the liquid in the bottle.
- Capped potable water and other beverage containers are used or transported by people during their daily activities. The containers or bottles are usually in the liquid volume range capable of human consumption and facilitate ease of transportation by the individual person. Such containers or bottles, for instance, may be in the 6 oz to 20 oz range but other volumes are contemplated. Typically the person using such a bottle may not consume or even desire to consume the entire contents of the potable liquid in the bottle or container at one time. The typical practice is to carry the liquid container with the person and to use or consume limited contents at spaced intervals of time. When consuming the contents over spaced time intervals it is desirable to re-cap or re-close the container so that the contents cannot spill or otherwise empty in an unwanted manner. In order to re-cap the container it is desirable to store the original closure means someplace until it is desired to re-use the same closure means. For most capped containers the removal of the cap from the bottle breaks the original seal between the cap and the bottle and the caps are then loose. Caps usually have a threaded connection with the upper neck portion of the bottle and once removed they are free of any connection with the container. In order to store the cap, a person may put the cap in their pocket, carry the cap in their hand, or lay the cap down on a convenient and known location. Other bottles have a tethered connection between the neck of the bottle and the cap such that when the cap in unscrewed or removed from the opening it still remains attached and kind of hangs to one side of the opening until its re-use is desired.
