An interchangeable, vacuum-sealed beverage bottle includes a body having a cap housing, a plug assembly disposed at the cap housing, a handle engaged to the cap housing, an inner flask in fluid communication with the plug assembly, and an outer flask sealed to the inner flask such that a sealed vacuum cavity is defined between an outer surface of the inner flask and an inner surface of the outer flask (single liquid-containing chamber is double-walled and a vacuum is created between the walls). An exterior cover is positioned about the inner flask and the outer flask, and an end cap mated to the exterior cover and the outer flask. Downward and upward axial displacement of a portion of the plug assembly permits and prohibits fluid to freely flow outwardly from the inner flask to an exterior of the plug assembly, respectively.

Beverage container closure

A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container.

A lid for a drinking vessel, including a lid base, a moveable arm, and an actuator. The lid base defines a vent opening therethrough. The movable arm is coupled to the lid base. The actuator is accessible from an exterior of the lid base. The movable arm is movable between a sealed position, in which the vent opening is sealed, and a venting position, in which the vent opening is not sealed. The movable arm is biased toward the sealed position. The actuator is movable between a first position and a second position. The movable arm moves from the sealed position to the venting position in response to the actuator moving from the first position to the second position.
