Abstract

A beverage container cap assembly, comprising a circular cap member including a peripheral circular skirt wall, a concentric circular raised annular portion having a circular outer edge abutting and as a continuation of said skirt wall and inwardly extending therefrom, the raised annular portion defining a first plane and a circular inner edge, a circular inner wall extending perpendicularly from said circular inner edge and concentrically disposed, and further including a central portion extending perpendicularly from said inner wall at a second plane that is at a spaced apart and parallel relationship with respect to the first plane and said central portion further including a depressed channel thereon comprising at least two continuously connected sections. An elongated straw having cooperative dimensions is removably mounting inside, or at least partially inside, said depressed channel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A beverage container cap assembly, comprising:
 A) circular cap member including a peripheral circular skirt wall, a concentric circular raised annular portion having a circular outer edge abutting and as a continuation of said skirt wall and inwardly extending therefrom, said raised annular portion defining a first plane and a circular inner edge, a circular inner wall extending perpendicularly from said circular inner edge and concentrically disposed, and further including a central portion extending perpendicularly from said inner wall at a second plane that is at a spaced apart and parallel relationship with respect to said first plane and said central portion further including a depressed channel thereon comprising at least two continuously connected sections; and   B) elongated straw means having cooperative dimensions for removably mounting said straw means at least partially inside said depressed channel to keep the former in place.   
   
   
       2 . The cap assembly set forth in  claim 1  wherein said central portion includes at least one depressed area cooperatively disposed adjacent to said channel to facilitate the removal of said straw means.
