Benefits of technology

[0025]An advantage of the present invention is that it prevents contact of the contents of the stainless steel container with the plastic of the cap.
[0026]Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a cap with a watertight fit.
[0027]One more advantage of the present invention is that it provides a covered stainless steel container that is easy to carry or suspend from a belt or hook.

Problems solved by technology

It has recently been a concern that leaching from plastic containers into fluids can cause cancer among other things.
Prior art patents fail to address the problem of preventing liquid in a stainless steel container from contacting a plastic cap.

Embodiment Construction

[0044]In FIGS. 1-15, a cap 20, 20A, and 20B which can be used on any externally threaded stainless steel container, or a combination cap and stainless steel container device 10, 10A comprises a substantially plastic cap 20, 20A, and 20B a stainless steel plug 24 extending downwardly from the interior surface of the cap top, and a silicone O-ring 27.

[0045]In FIGS. 1-7, the exterior of the plastic cap 20 has an upwardly extending loop 22 with a finger grip hole 23 for holding and hanging the cap 20, with the cap attached to and covering a wide mouth stainless steel bottle 30 for carrying and storing the covered stainless steel bottle 30 by the loop. In a preferred embodiment, the upwardly extending loop 22 extends upwardly away from the annular rim 21 and outwardly away from the center of the cap 20 to a position beyond an outer perimeter of the annular rim 21, providing for easy hand grasping and easy encircling by a strap or a hook for suspending the covered stainless steel bottle 1...

Abstract

A plastic cap with inside threads removably attaches to a stainless steel container with mating rolled steel external threads. A center stainless steel plug inside the cap fits down into the container. A silicone O-ring on the cap creates a watertight seal with the top of the container. The contents of the stainless steel container only contact the stainless steel plug and never reach the plastic portion of the cap. A finger loop is built into the outer periphery of the plastic cap for ease in carrying or suspending the container.
