Abstract: A drinking cap for a bottle includes a screwable drinking section for mating with screw threads of a bottle and a covering cap, hinged to the drinking section. The drinking section is provided with a cylindrical shaped spout of about ¼-¾ inches in height and about ¼-½ inch in outside diameter, all to enhance normal oral motor development and physiological development of a person's mouth. An air vent and air connecting air channel provided to the drinking section so that a drinker's lips, even if covering the opening of the air vent, will not block the passage of air into the cavity of the bottle to which the device is attached, ensuring no negative air pressure therein due to sucking. Mechanisms are provided for preventing leakage, ensuring free, easy flow of fluid when sucking is initiated, and ensuring safety to a child using or near the device.

Abstract: A disposable or long term use beverage container having a cup portion with an aperture therein and a mating cap portion with a mouthpiece extending therefrom with one of the portions having an annular ridge and the other an annular groove for receiving said ridge therein sealing the disposable beverage container from leakage. Additionally the mouthpiece extending from the cap is designed to anatomically fit the user's mouth and provides that the mouthpiece may be nipple shaped for babies and toddlers. Also provided are nubs protruding from opposing sides of the cap that when squeezed breaks the cup cap seal allowing for removal of the cap for selective refilling as desired. The present invention also provides that the disposable beverage container may be manufactured from microwave safe material for those beverages that may require heating.
