  • Closure cap and support for holding a bottle of carbonated beverage in inverted position
    Patent number: 4101044
    Abstract: A single piece closure cap and support for holding a bottle of carbonated beverage in an inverted position in which the cap has a center threaded recess for receiving the threaded bottle neck for securing the cap to the bottle. The inner end of the recess has a raised portion for entering the bottle neck for sealing the bottle. The device has a circular reservoir surrouding the bottle neck for catching any leakage therefrom and this reservoir enlarges the base area of the cap to such an extent as to prevent the inverted bottle from accidentally tipping over when the cap supports the bottle.
