Bottle Top Apparatus

Abstract

A bottle top apparatus comprising a first top closure connected to a lower end of a twisting member, conforming to a profile of a second top closure integrated on a bottle opening, and slidably positioned over the second top closure, is provided. A first flow opening and a first vent opening of the first top closure are configured to geometrically align with a second flow opening and a second vent opening of the second top closure respectively to pour out the bottle contents. Rotation of a screw top lid around a rim section extending from an upper end of the twisting member for removing the screw top lid, turns the twisting member to rotate the first top closure over the second top closure and misalign the first flow opening and the first vent opening with the second flow opening and the second vent opening respectively to seal the bottle opening.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A bottle top apparatus, comprising:
 a twisting member;   a first top closure connected to a lower end of said twisting member, wherein said first top closure is configured to conform to a profile of a second top closure integrated on an opening of a bottle and is slidably positioned over said second top closure, wherein said first top closure comprising a first flow opening and a first vent opening communicates with said second top closure comprising a second flow opening and a second vent opening for one of exposing and sealing said opening of said bottle, wherein said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure are configured to geometrically align with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to expose said opening of said bottle to allow contents of said bottle to be poured out of said bottle when said bottle is inverted; and   a screw top lid removably engaged with a rim section that extends from an upper end of said twisting member, wherein rotation of said screw top lid around said rim section for removing said screw top lid, turns said twisting member to rotate said first top closure over said second top closure and misalign said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to seal said opening of said bottle.   
     
     
         2 . The bottle top apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said geometrical alignment of said first flow opening of said first top closure and said second flow opening of said second top closure partially aligns said first vent opening of said first top closure and said second vent opening of said second top closure for creating a partial opening for controlled pouring of said contents from said bottle when said bottle is inverted. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle top apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more stops positioned at predetermined locations on a lower periphery of said twisting member, wherein said one or more stops on said lower periphery of said twisting member engage with one or more stops positioned at predetermined locations on an upper end of said bottle for controlling said rotation of said first top closure over said second top closure. 
     
     
         4 . The bottle top apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising gripping members extending from said lower end of said twisting member for engageably gripping a neck extension of said bottle. 
     
     
         5 . A method for controlling flow of contents contained in a bottle, comprising.
 providing a bottle top apparatus, comprising:
 a twisting member; 
 a first top closure connected to a lower end of said twisting member, wherein said first top closure is configured to conform to a profile of a second top closure integrated on an opening of said bottle, wherein said first top closure comprising a first flow opening and a first vent opening communicates with said second top closure comprising a second flow opening and a second vent opening for one of exposing and sealing said opening of said bottle; and 
 a screw top lid removably engaged with a rim section that extends from an upper end of said twisting member; 
   engaging said bottle top apparatus with said bottle, wherein said first top closure of said bottle top apparatus is slidably positioned over said second top closure integrated on said opening of said bottle;   rotating said screw top lid of said bottle top apparatus around said rim section for removing said screw top lid, wherein said rotation of said screw top lid around said rim section turns said twisting member to rotate said first top closure over said second top closure and misalign said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to seal said opening of said bottle; and   geometrically aligning said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to expose said opening of said bottle to allow contents of said bottle to be poured out of said bottle when said bottle is inverted;   
       whereby said alignment and said misalignment of said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively controls said flow of said contents contained in said bottle. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said geometrical alignment of said first flow opening of said first top closure and said second flow opening of said second top closure partially aligns said first vent opening of said first top closure and said second vent opening of said second top closure for creating a partial opening for controlled pouring of said contents from said bottle when said bottle is inverted. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising controlling said rotation of said first top closure over said second top closure by engaging one or more stops positioned at predetermined locations on a lower periphery of said twisting member with one or more stops positioned at predetermined locations on an upper end of said bottle. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said rotation of said first top closure over said second top closure in a first direction misaligns said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to seal said opening of said bottle. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein said rotation of said first top closure over said second top closure in a second direction opposing said first direction aligns said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to expose said opening of said bottle to allow said contents of said bottle to be poured out of said bottle when said bottle is inverted. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said rotation of said screw top lid around said rim section in a first direction for removing said screw top lid, turns said twisting member in said first direction to rotate said first top closure over said second top closure in said first direction and misalign said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to seal said opening of said bottle. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising turning said twisting member in a second direction opposing said first direction to rotate said first top closure over said second top closure in said second direction and align said first flow opening and said first vent opening of said first top closure with said second flow opening and said second vent opening of said second top closure respectively to selectively expose said opening of said bottle to allow said contents of said bottle to be poured out of said bottle when said bottle is inverted. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said bottle top apparatus further comprises gripping members extending from said lower end of said twisting member for engageably gripping a neck extension of said bottle.
