Abstract

Stop & Go Water Bottle Cap is a water bottle cap with an opening in its face and means to close or open the opening. The opening is closed when the water bottle to which it is attached is standing upright or is being turned sideways to mount. The opening is opened when the water bottle to which it is attached is turned upside down and is sitting on a water cooler/dispenser. It functions alternatively as a water bottle cap and as an open faucet.

 means to retain said button for repeated use; 
 an o-ring to keep said elastic sheet in place. 
 
     
     
         2 . A Stop & Go Water Bottle Cap as in  claim 1  wherein said means to retain said button includes a disk attached to one end of said button and a loop attached to the opposite end of said button.
