Flavor cap

Abstract

A bottle cap having a substance retained therein. The bottle cap engages threadedly a bottle containing a beverage therein. Such bottle cap includes a cylindrical member closed at a first end thereof and open at a second end thereof. There is a threaded portion disposed on an inner surface of the cylindrical member for engaging a threaded end of such bottle. A capsule like device is disposed inside the cylindrical member adjacent the closed end for retaining a substance to be dispensed into a beverage in such bottle. A device for piercing the capsule engages each of the threaded portion of the bottle cap and the capsule for piercing the capsule as the bottle cap is threaded onto such bottle thereby releasing contents of the capsule into such beverage for mixing therewith.

       10 . A bottle cap, according to  claim 1 , wherein said second means includes a pyramid shaped upper portion. 
   
   
       11 . A bottle cap having a predetermined substance retained therein, said bottle cap engageable with a bottle containing a preselected beverage therein and having a threaded end for receiving a bottle cap, said bottle cap comprising:
 (a) a cylindrical member closed at a first end thereof and open at a second end thereof, said cylindrical member having each of a first predetermined length and a predetermined inside diameter;   (b) a threaded portion disposed on an inner surface of said cylindrical member, beginning adjacent said open end and extending inwardly a second predetermined length toward said closed end, for engaging such threaded end of such bottle;   (c) a first means disposed inside said cylindrical member adjacent said closed end thereof for retaining a preselected substance therein to be dispensed into such preselected beverage contained within said bottle; and   (d) a second means engageable with each of an upper surface of such bottle and said first means for retaining said preselected substance for piercing said first means as said bottle cap is threaded onto such threaded portion of such bottle thereby releasing contents of said first means into such beverage for mixing therewith.   
   
   
       12 . A bottle cap, according to  claim 11 , wherein said predetermined substance is selected from the group consisting of preselected flavors, liquid vitamins and liquid medications.
