A liquid container, meeting all federal, state and local regulations, comprising a vessel with an opening and a self-venting spout which is mounted to the vessel in a manner allowing the spout, from a stowed position, to rotate into its operational position and coupling to the opening with a coupler. Both open ends of the spout are automatically covered when stowed. A valve assembly at the opening of the vessel is operated externally by a trigger located near the underside of the primary handle. The valve assembly controls flow of liquid out of the vessel and through the self-venting spout. Venting of the vessel is allowed through a series of channels, respectively comprising an interior channel within the spout, an intake port, and an intake channel leading to the rear of the vessel above the liquid line. The vessel opening is covered by a lid mounted to the vessel that rotates into operational or stowed position and is sealed by the coupler.

BEVERAGE CONTAINER WITH SELF-REGULATING THERMAL CONTROL MEMBER
20170325607 · 2017-11-16 ·

A beverage container provided with a thermal regulation member having a sidewall extending through a beverage cavity of a container main body. The thermal regulation member contains an energy storage material that receives, stores, and transmits heat energy to and from a beverage in the beverage cavity to regulate its temperature. The energy storage material may initially absorb energy from a heated beverage having a temperature too hot for drinking, then transfers heat energy back into the beverage as it cools, keeping it within a comfortable temperature range for an extended period of time. The thermal regulation member may be selectively attachable to a stopper assembly that seals an upper opening of the beverage cavity. Alternatively, laterally extending attachment members may attach the thermal regulation member directly to a wall of the beverage cavity.
