Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are embodiments of a squeezable drink bottle and a cap assembly therefor. The cap assembly can comprise a rigid cap body configured to be secured to a liquid container, a spout comprising a resiliently flexible tube extending through a passageway in the cap body, and a shut-off trigger slidably mounted in the cap body and adjustable between an open position and a closed position relative to the cap body, wherein when the trigger is in the open position, the tube is open to allow liquid to flow through the spout, and when the trigger is in the closed position, the tube is closed to block liquid flow through the spout. The cap assembly can also include a mouthpiece valve that remains sealed until the bottle is squeezed to pressurize a lumen within the mouthpiece and squirt fluid out of the spout or the mouthpiece is pinched to open the seal.
