Abstract: The present invention is generally comprised of an appliance for holding a bottle or liquids. The appliance is generally comprised of a cap member that is removably connected to a container member. The cap member may have a threaded cylindrical portion adjacent to an opening in the cap member. The container member may also have a threaded cylindrical portion adjacent to an opening in the container member, so that the cap member is screwed onto the container member by means of the threads. The cap member may also comprise a threaded bottle holding portion adapted to receive threads on a cylindrical portion of the bottle adjacent to the bottle opening. The appliance may also comprise a tubular member (such as a straw) that extends from an area outside the appliance into the interior volume of the bottle. Finally, the invention also includes a method for using the appliance.

Abstract: The present invention is generally comprised of an appliance for holding a bottle (or other object having a threaded opening) and a method of using the appliance. The appliance is generally comprised of a cap member that is removably connected to a container member. In some embodiments of the invention, the cap member has a cylindrical portion adjacent to an opening in the cap member, such cylindrical portion being threaded on its interior surface. In such embodiments, the container member also has a cylindrical portion adjacent to an opening in the container member, such cylindrical portion being threaded on its exterior surface. In such embodiments, the cap member is screwed onto the container member by means of the threads. In other embodiments, the cap member is also comprised of an adjustable connector portion to receive threads on the cylindrical portion of the bottle adjacent to bottle opening.
