- Further more preferably, the closure device includes a mouthpiece provided at the protruding part, and a tear strip provided immediately behind the mouthpiece and retaining the valve member in the closed position.
- Further more preferably, the includes a closing member engageable upon the protruding part of the valve member to close the passage.
- Yet further more preferably, the closing member is connected to a mouthpiece provided at the protruding part.
- In a preferred embodiment, the valve member is at least in part tubular.
- More preferably, the valve member has a tubular outer end which is protruding for engagement by a drinker's mouth to move the valve member to the open position.
- More preferably, the valve member has a tubular inner end having at least one aperture that acts as an entrance to the passage.
- Further more preferably, the spring means is located adjacent, and acts upon, the inner end of the valve member.

- Yet further more preferably, the interface between said at least one aperture and the solid part extends in the direction of movement of the valve member.
- Yet further more preferably, the solid part is part of a tubular part of the body, the tubular part surrounding and supporting the valve member co-axially about a common axis for sliding movement along the axis.
- Yet yet further more preferably, the inner end of the valve member has a tubular wall around which a plurality of said apertures are formed.
- It is preferred that the body has a cylindrical base having a screw-threaded inner side for engaging around said opening.
- The invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a side view of an embodiment of a closure device in accordance with the invention for use at the opening of a drinking vessel;
- Figure 2 is a side view similar to Figure 1, showing a stopper of the closure device released;
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional side view of the closure device of Figure 1, showing its internal construction; and
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional side view similar to Figure 3, showing a stopper of the closure device released and an internal valve thereof pushed open.
- Referring to the drawings, there is shown a
closure device 100 embodying the invention for use at an opening of a drinking vessel such as anopening 8 at aneck 9 of awater bottle 10, which closure device has abody 110 for connection to thebottle 10 at itsopening 8, and a manually-operated valve. The valve comprises avalve member 120 that is provided generally in thebody 110 for controlling the flow of water from inside thebottle 10, when thebottle 10 is used upside down. - The
body 110 includes acylindrical base 111 which has a screw-threadedinner side 112 for engaging around the bottle opening 8, behind which theneck 9 is formed with external screw-threads as is commonly known. Extending vertically upwardly from thebase 111 is an integrally connectedcylindrical sleeve 113 of a smaller diameter, which supports thevalve member 120. - The
valve member 120 is a cylindrical tube which has an outer diameter marginally smaller than the inner diameter of thesleeve 113 and is inserted through thesleeve 113 from below, with both of its opposite outer/upper and inner/lowertubular ends valve member 120 is surrounded and supported by thesleeve 113 co-axially about a common vertical axis as a sliding fit for sliding movement along the axis upwards and downwards. - The
outer end 121 protrudes out of thesleeve 113 for engagement by a drinker's mouth to push thevalve member 120 further into thesleeve 113 for opening the valve. Theinner end 122 has a peripheral wall, equiangularly around which fourapertures 124 are formed near the bottom, and the bottom is closed by anend wall 123. Acircular bottom flange 125 retains theinner end 122 against sliding completely into thesleeve 113. - The interior of the
valve member 120 defines a tubular passage X along almost its entire length, through and along which water from inside thebottle 10 may flow out when thebottle 10 is turned upside down and the valve is opened. To this end, thebottom apertures 124 together act as an entrance to the passage X, and the uppermost opening of thevalve member 120 is the exit. Theapertures 124 are situated adjacent to the lowermost end of thesleeve 113. - The
valve member 120 is slidable vertically in opposite directions relative to thesleeve 113 between an inner open position (Figure 4), in which the valve is open and allows flowing out of water from inside thebottle 10 through itsopening 8, and an outer closed position (Figure 3), in which the valve is closed and seals off theopening 8. - An inverted wok-
shaped leaf spring 130 is located within thebody 110 at a position immediately below thevalve member 120, and it acts upon theinner end 122 to resiliently bias the valve member 12 upwardly towards its outer closed position. The valve is thus normally-closed. - Like the rest of the cylindrical wall of the
sleeve 113, the lowermost end of the wall is solid, and it is aligned with and blocks off all fourapertures 124 when thevalve member 120 is in its outer closed position, whereby water cannot enter into thesleeve 113. The interface between theapertures 124 and the said solid wall portion extends vertically i.e. in the direction of movement of thevalve member 120. - In the inner open position, the
valve member 120 has been slid further into thebody 110 to move itsapertures 124 out of alignment with the lowermost end of thesleeve 113, extending beyond the lowermost end. As theapertures 124 are no longer obstructed, water can now enter into thesleeve 113 and flow out via the passage X (Figure 4). - A
tubular mouthpiece 140 is tight-fitted onto and around the protrudingouter end 121 of thevalve member 120, joining co-axially therewith. Themouthpiece 140 has an integralradial flange 141 for bearing upon by the lips of a drinker when he/she drinks water out of thebottle 10. - A
stopper 142 is connected by an integral strip to theflange 141 for plugging into themouthpiece 140, i.e. indirectly upon theouter end 121 of thevalve member 120, to close the passage X at its outer end. Save for hygiene purposes, thestopper 142 is used to prevent leaking of water when the valve is unintentionally opened i.e. thevalve member 120 accidentally pressed. - A
tear strip 143 is provided at the lower end of themouthpiece 140, integrally connected thereto, for locking thevalve member 120 in the outer closed position before the bottled drink is purchased and used. Thetear strip 143 is located immediately behind themouthpiece 140. It extends around the otherwise exposed part of thevalve member 120 between themouthpiece 140 and thesleeve 113, occupying the annual gap therebetween to prevent any downward movement of thevalve member 120. - The
closure device 100 of the subject invention is very convenient to use because thevalve member 120 should be pressed inwardly to open the valve and this is consistent with the direction in which the user brings the bottle opening 8 to his/her mouth. Thevalve member 120 will automatically return upon release, and hence the valve closed, under the action of thespring 130. Accordingly, the valve requires no extra force and action from the user. - All of the components of the subject closure device are conveniently made of moulded food/drink grade plastic materials.
- Leak-proofing is effective as it is dependent upon the tolerance between the diameters of the
valve member 120 andsleeve 113, which is readily achievable. In particular, thevalve member 120 andsleeve 113 can be made longer to ensure better sealing. Moreover, the flow rate can easily be adjusted by changing the number and/or size of theapertures 124. - The invention has been given by way of example only, and various modifications of and/or alterations to the described embodiment may be made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as specified in the appended claims.
