An integral cap assembly for a portable liquid container that has a reversible spout, includes a cap portion with an opening and a pair of grooves formed at opposite sides of the opening. A closure cap is coupled to a first flexible member, where the cap portion is coupled to a second flexible member. The first and second flexible members are each coupled to a remaining flexible member. The closure cap can be fitted either above the opening or below the opening of the cap portion, to thereby provide an integral cap assembly with no separate parts when the reversible spout is in either the closed, non-pour position, or the open, pour, position.

1. An integral cap assembly for a portable liquid container having a reversible spout, comprising:a cap having an opening for allowing the reversible spout to extend therethrough when the reversible spout is positioned to extend from the portable liquid container to allow liquid to be poured from the portable liquid container, the cap including at least two slots positioned at opposite sides of the opening, wherein the opening has a first length along a plane defined by the at least two slots, and wherein the opening has a second length at all other positions, the second length being less than the first length; a closure disk capable of being fitted within the opening of the cap for disallowing liquid to exit from the portable liquid container, when the reversible spout is configured to extend into the portable liquid container, wherein the closure disk is configured to be positioned along the plane defined by the at least two slots in order to be moved either: a) from a position outside of the cap to a position inside of the cap when the cap is at least partially coupled to the portable liquid container, or b) from a position inside of the cap to a position outside of the cap when the cap is at least partially coupled to the portable liquid container; and means for maintaining the cap and the closure disk together as a single unit, wherein a diameter of the closure disk is a third length that is greater than the second length but less than the first length.
