Water Bottle Cap With Integrated Indicator

Abstract

A water bottle cap with an integrated indicator is disclosed. A combination bottle cap and indicator includes a threaded base adapted to engage the neck of a bottle and a fluid aperture within the threaded base. The combination bottle cap and indicator includes a top hingably mounted to the threaded base for sealing the fluid aperture while overlying the threaded base and for permitting access to the fluid aperture while rotated away from the threaded base. The combination bottle cap and indicator also includes multiple indicia and a rotatable bezel mounted to the top for positionally indicating one of the multiple indicia.

1 . A combination bottle cap and indicator comprising:
 a threaded base adapted to engage the neck of a bottle;   a fluid aperture within said threaded base;   a top hingably mounted to said threaded base for sealing said fluid aperture while overlying said threaded base and for permitting access to said fluid aperture while rotated away from said threaded base;   a plurality of indicia; and   a rotatable bezel mounted to said top for positionally indicating one of said plurality of indicia.   
   
   
       2 . The combination bottle cap and indicator of  claim 1 , further including a plug sized to fit snugly within said fluid aperture mounted to an underside of said top and adapted to seal said fluid aperture while said top overlies said threaded base. 
   
   
       3 . The combination bottle cap and indicator of  claim 1 , further including spring means for biasing said top away from a position overlying said threaded base. 
   
   
       4 . The combination bottle cap and indicator of  claim 3 , further including latch means for securing said top in a position overlying said threaded base. 
   
   
       5 . The combination bottle cap and indicator of  claim 1 , further including an indicator mounted to an upper side of said top proximate to said rotatable bezel. 
   
   
       6 . The combination bottle cap and indicator of  claim 5 , wherein said plurality of indicia are mounted around said rotatable bezel. 
   
   
       7 . The combination bottle cap and indicator of  claim 6 , wherein said plurality of indicia comprise numbers one through ten. 
   
   
       8 . A combination water bottle and indicator comprising:
 a water bottle having a treaded neck;   a cap comprising:
 a threaded base adapted to engage the neck of said water bottle; 
 a fluid aperture within said threaded base; 
 a top hingably mounted to said threaded base for sealing said fluid aperture while overlying said threaded base and for permitting access to said fluid aperture while rotated away from said threaded base; 
 a plurality of indicia; and 
 a rotatable bezel mounted to said top for positionally indicating one of said plurality of indicia. 
   
   
   
       9 . The combination water bottle and indicator of  claim 8 , further including a plug sized to fit snugly within said fluid aperture mounted to an underside of said top and adapted to seal said fluid aperture while said top overlies said threaded base. 
   
   
       10 . The combination water bottle and indicator of  claim 8 , further including spring means for biasing said top away from a position overlying said threaded base. 
   
   
       11 . The combination water bottle and indicator of  claim 10 , further including latch means for securing said top in a position overlying said threaded base. 
   
   
       12 . The combination water bottle and indicator of  claim 8 , further including an indicator mounted to an upper side of said top proximate to said rotatable bezel. 
   
   
       13 . The combination water bottle and indicator of  claim 12 , wherein said plurality of indicia are mounted around said rotatable bezel. 
   
   
       14 . The combination water bottle and indicator of  claim 13 , wherein said plurality of indicia comprise numbers one through ten.
