Drink containers with unremovable closures

Abstract

The present invention relates to containers for drinks such as water, beverage, and the like with non-removable closures, and more particularly to drink containers with non-removable closures that allow the user to open the containers without completely removing the closure from the containers. According to one embodiment of the present invention the drink container has a non-removable closure that is provided with a rotating disk on top of the receiving member to open or close the orifice on the receiving member on top of the drink bottle. When the rotating disk member's hole aligns with the receiving member's hole, a channel is formed for drink to leave from the bottle. When the holes are not aligned, the drink is blocked by the body of the rotating member.

1 . A drink container with a non-removable closure comprising:
 (a) a drink bottle body;   (b) a rotating disk member being a solid disk with a hole that penetrates its height, having a slight protrusion member on its circumferential edge, and a bottom tip located at the center on its bottom; and   (c) a receiving member located on the top of said drink bottle body having a solid panel with a hole that penetrates said panel to control the liquid flow out of said bottle body, a wall extending upward from and along the circumferential edge of said solid panel to form a recess that is similar in dimension to said rotating disk member, a circular groove residing in the interior side of said wall where said protrusion member of said rotating disk is fitted into and an indentation located at the center of the top surface of said receiving member where said bottom tip of said rotating disk is fitted into such that said receiving disk member is placed within said recess and suspended on top of said solid panel of said receiving member.   
     
     
         2 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating disk member can rotate 360 degrees on top of said receiving member via said protrusion member being guided through said groove and said bottom tip spinning on top of said indentation. 
     
     
         3 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 1 , wherein said hole in said rotating disk member aligns with said hole in said receiving member forming a channel for drink to flow out of said bottle body. 
     
     
         4 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 1 , wherein said receiving member being integrally molded to the bottle body. 
     
     
         5 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 1 , wherein said receiving member together with bottle body can be manufactured by injection molding. 
     
     
         6 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 1  further comprises a spout connecting to said rotating disk member around the border of said hole in said rotating disk and extending upwardly and outwardly away from the center of said rotating disk. 
     
     
         7 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 1  further comprises a drinking tube connecting to said receiving member around the border of said hole in said receiving member and extending downward inside the bottle body. 
     
     
         8 . A drink container with a non-removable closure comprising:
 (a) a drink bottle body having ratchet teeth on the exterior surface of a bottle neck;   (b) a cap having ratchet teeth to cooperate with said ratchet teeth on said bottle neck; and   (c) a spout being in circular shape, having an inner tube, an outer tube, a circular top wall with an aperture at the center, a blocker in circular shape, a plurality of strings attached to said inner tube to support said blocker, and a stopping tab member located around the exterior circumferential edge of said inner tube to control the relative position between said inner tube and outer tube.   
     
     
         9 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 8 , wherein said cap has helical threads on the interior annular surface for mating engagement with similar helical thread on the exterior surface of said bottle neck. 
     
     
         10 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 8 , wherein said cap is a snap fit cap. 
     
     
         11 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 8 , wherein said outer tube being pulled up causing said blocker relatively pushed down thus said aperture is open allowing the liquid to flow out of said bottle body. 
     
     
         12 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 8 , wherein said outer tube being pushed down causing said blocker relatively pulled up thus said aperture is blocked by said blocker, preventing the liquid flow out of said bottle body. 
     
     
         13 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 8 , wherein the non-removable closure may utilize other techniques known in the art such as heat sealing, ultra sound welding, gluing, etc. 
     
     
         14 . The drink container with a non-removable closure of  claim 8  further comprises a drinking tube attached to said inner tube and extending downwardly inside said bottle body. 
     
     
         15 . A drink container with a non-removable closure comprising:
 a drink bottle body having ratchet teeth on the exterior surface of a bottle neck; and   a cap having ratchet teeth to cooperate with said ratchet teeth on said bottle neck including:   (a) a top wall;   (b) a circumferential side wall that is adjacent to said top wall, said circumferential side wall and top wall thereby define an interior cavity;   (c) said circumferential side wall is molded to form an integral lower spout portion and upper spout portion, said lower portion and upper portion define a channel;   (d) a pivot point located within the interior cavity; and   (e) a straight lever arm having a proximal end attached to a valve, which is inside said cap and next to said channel, and a distal end extending through said circumferential side wall forming a thumb pad.   
     
     
         16 . The non-removable closure with an integral pouring spout of  claim 15 , wherein said valve is raised and said channel of said cap is closed when said thumb pad is pressed to allow the liquid flow out of the bottle. 
     
     
         17 . The non-removable closure with an integral pouring spout of  claim 15 , wherein said valve is not raised up and said channel of said cap is closed when said thumb pad is not pressed such that the liquid flow path is blocked.
