A lid having an upper half configured to remain external when the lid is coupled to a liquid vessel holding a liquid therein, a lower half configured to be received in the liquid vessel when the lid is coupled to the liquid vessel and an actuator configured to move the lid between a first configuration and a second configuration, the first configuration sealing the liquid in the liquid vessel from a plunger being adjacent to a gasket that is coupled to a bottom edge of the lower half, the second configuration allowing the liquid to be removed using a predetermined manner through the lid from the plunger being separated from the gasket to create a space therebetween.

Apparatuses and devices for insulating fluid holders are disclosed. An insulating container (100) is configured to insulate a fluid holder (108). The insulating container (100) comprises a lid (102) having an inner mechanism on an inner wall for coupling with a first portion of the fluid holder and a first coupling mechanism 114 to engage with a container (104) having a second coupling mechanism 116. The container is configured to accommodate a second portion of the fluid holder. The first coupling mechanism is configured to be engaged with the second coupling mechanism to insulate the fluid holder. The lid and the container are configured to accommodate the fluid holders of a plurality of sizes.

A container sealing assembly is provided. The container sealing assembly includes a cap configured to attach to a container body and a unitary compliant sealing valve movable between a sealed position and an open position and configured to form a sealing interface with the cap when the unitary compliant sealing valve is in the sealed position. One or more seal-breaking structures may be provided to interact in response to a movement of the unitary compliant sealing valve from the sealed position to the open position, where such interaction is configured to break the sealing interface. A compression spring section of the valve may be provided to assist in moving the unitary compliant sealing valve into the open position.

A lid assembly for attachment to a drinking vessel is provided having a camming lever rotatably attached to an upper portion of a lid main body, and a sealing member rotatably attached to a lower portion of lid main body. Rotation of the camming lever between a forward and rearward position in an elongated recess of the lid main body selectively seals and unseals a drinking aperture in the lid main body. A locking member is operable to selectively secure the rotational position of the camming lever when the sealing member is in a sealing position sealing the drinking aperture. A cam axle of the camming lever is removably attachable to an attachment element of the sealing member to transition the lid assembly between a use configuration for drinking and a cleaning configuration in which the lid assembly may be thoroughly cleaned.

A beverage container closure or lid adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is 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 opened by pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the button is released. Thus, the 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. The beverage container closure includes an actuating lever configured to press the button when a user applies a force to the lever. By utilizing the mechanical advantage provided by the lever, a user is able to selectively open and close the stopper using a relatively low amount of force.

A thermos flask comprises a container, which has an opening on a top side, at which opening a lid is retained, which closes the opening in a closing position and can be at least partially moved by means of an actuating element in order to partially open the opening in order to pour out liquid. The lid has an upper part fastened to the container and a lower part pivotably retained on the upper part.
