Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007069257A2] A closure cap for a beverage container that enables people to share beverages from the same container in a hygienic manner. The closure cap comprises a central capping member with a plurality of drinking tubes attached thereto. Each tube can be opened for drinking while the remaining tubes stay closed and they are preferably distinguishable from each other by markings, color, etc. In particular embodiments, each of the drinking tubes or the central member comprises a one-way valve allowing beverage to flow through the drinking tubes in only the outward direction, thereby preventing saliva, or beverage that has entered a drinker's mouth, from returning to the container. In such embodiments, the closure cap preferably has one or more pressure equalizing holes to equalize the air pressure inside the container as the beverage is consumed, and optional one-way valves to prevent beverage leakage via the pressure equalizing holes.
