Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9729730A1] An overcap assembly for a fluid container (12), such as a baby bottle, protects the nipple (14), or other fluid dispenser, from contamination and from leaking when the overcap (18) is in the protective, covering position. The overcap has an opening (41) in its top through which the nipple extends once a lid (43) has been removed and the overcap has been shifted from a stable protective position surrounding the nipple to a stable enabling position exposing the nipple for use without removing the overcap from the collar (16). The lid is preferably tethered, hinged or otherwise connected to the overcap.
