Cap assembly

Abstract

A cap assembly for containers includes a body, an exit aperture and a closure mechanism. Externally, the body may be shaped and designed to provide fun and entertainment value. The aperture is in fluid communication with the container to enable contents to exit the assembly. A closure mechanism closes the aperture and facilitates storage. The cap assembly includes a connector portion configured to be coupled to the container. The connector portion may be configured to be removably coupled to different containers having different spout configurations.

1 . A cap assembly configured to be coupled to a container, comprising:
 a body resembling an object, the body defining an opening and having a connector portion configured to be coupled to the container; and   a closure mechanism to close the aperture.   
   
   
       2 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the connector portion is internally threaded. 
   
   
       3 . The nap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the body defines a passageway in fluid communication with the opening and the container. 
   
   
       4 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the connector portion comprises a snap-on fitting. 
   
   
       5 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the snap-on fitting comprises:
 an inner cylindrical tube that defines the passageway; and   an outer concentric wall that together with the inner cylindrical tube defines an annular space.   
   
   
       6 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the object comprises a face. 
   
   
       7 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a movable arm configured to plug the aperture. 
   
   
       8 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a conduit. 
   
   
       9 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a self-closing valve. 
   
   
       10 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the container comprises a first container having a first spout;   the connector portion is configured to mate with the first spout; and   the connector portion is configured to mate with a second container having a second spout different than the first spout.   
   
   
       11 . A cap assembly configured to be coupled to a container, comprising:
 a body defining an opening resembling an orifice, the opening being in fluid communication with the container, the body having a connector portion configured to be coupled to the container; and   a closure mechanism to close the opening.   
   
   
       12 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the connector portion is internally threaded. 
   
   
       13 . The cap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the body defines a passageway in fluid communication with the opening and the container or conduit. 
   
   
       14 . The cap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the connector portion comprises a snap-on fitting. 
   
   
       15 . The cap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the snap-on fitting defines an annular space configured to receive the conduit or the container. 
   
   
       16 . The cap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the object comprises a face. 
   
   
       17 . The cap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a movable arm configured to plug the aperture. 
   
   
       18 . The cap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a self-closing valve. 
   
   
       19 . The cap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein:
 the container comprises a first container having a first spout;   the connector portion is configured to mate with the first spout; and   the connector portion is configured to mate with a second container having a second spout different than the first spout.   
   
   
       20 . A cap assembly configured to be coupled to a container, comprising:
 a body resembling an object that provides entertainment value, the body defining an exit opening and a passageway, the passageway being in fluid communication with the container and the exit opening, the body having a connector portion configured to be removably coupled to the container, wherein the body is configured to be removed from the container having a first spout and to be assembled onto a second container having a second spout different than the first spout; and   a closure mechanism to close the opening.   
   
   
       21 . The assembly of  claim 20 , wherein the connector portion is internally threaded. 
   
   
       22 . The cap assembly of  claim 20 , wherein the connector portion comprises a snap-on fitting having an inner tube and outer wall, the inner tube and outer wall defining an annular space configured to receive the first container spout and the second container spout. 
   
   
       23 . The cap assembly of  claim 20 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a movable arm configured to plug the aperture. 
   
   
       24 . The cap assembly of  claim 20 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a self-closing valve.
