Spout unit, lid assembly comprising the spout unit, beverage container and method for manufacturing the spout unit
The present invention provides a spout unit for dispensing beverage in a beverage container, including a spout and a reinforcement unit overmolded with the spout. The reinforcement unit includes a device for reinforcing interlocking of the reinforcement unit with the spout, for example shut off holes and/or depressions, at least a pair of tabs, and one or more outwardly facing longitudinal grooves. This invention also relates to a lid assembly including the spout unit, and a beverage container assembly including such a lid assembly. Furthermore, this invention provides a method for manufacturing the spout unit.
Tumbler with maneuverable straw
A tumbler with maneuverable straw is an apparatus that facilitates the consumption of small edible additives of a beverage. The apparatus includes a straw assembly, a lid, and a tumbler. The straw assembly includes a mouthpiece, a straw, and a main channel. The straw assembly delivers the beverage and small edible additives contained within the tumbler to the mouth of the user. The mouthpiece serves as a mount for the lips of the user and allows the user to maneuver the straw within the tumbler. The lid covers an open end of the tumbler and mounts the straw assembly onto the tumbler. The lid seals the open end of the tumbler, preventing any leakage, and receives the straw assembly. The tumbler contains a beverage and any small edible additives such as tapioca balls. The apparatus further includes a friction inducing base that protects a closed end of the tumbler.

Personalized drinking cup with fingerprint reader
A personalized drinking cup assembly comprises a lid which includes a mouthpiece, and includes a fingerprint reader located thereon to enable the user to access and use the mouthpiece to drink from the cup. In some embodiments the cap comprises a top portion and a side wall extending perpendicularly therefrom, and the fingerprint reader is located on the side wall. In some embodiments, the cap further comprises a handle, on which the fingerprint reader is located. In use, the user utilizes the fingerprint reader in order to access the mouthpiece for drinking from the cup. Once the fingerprint reader is read and the user is identified as the owner or authorized user of the cup, the mouthpiece will be opened for consumption thereby.
Multi piece fitment for a fluid container
This disclosure relates generally to a containment system for containing a fluid. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a fitment for attaching a liner within a container and providing a fluid path from the liner to an outside of the containment system. The liner and at least a part of the fitment provide the wetted surfaces for the containment system, while the fitment has a portion that can be joined to an outer container that, for example, provides rigidity and light protection. The fitment may be a two-piece fitment with a liner fitment to which the liner may be joined, and a retainer that may be joined to a container, where the liner fitment and the retainer are joined to one another, for example by a mechanical connection. The liner and liner fitment may be fluoropolymers or other non-reactive polymers. The container and retainer may be UV-blocking polymers.

DRINKING AND SEALING LIDS FOR VESSELS AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES AND METHODS
A sip lid for a children's drinking vessel includes a spout component having a first end region and a second end region opposite to the first end region. The spout component is shaped and sized to be received within a child's mouth. The first end region comprises one or more openings configured to allow liquid to be extracted through the spout component when the child is applying suction to the spout component. The sip lid also includes a base component extending from the second end region of the spout component and surrounding the spout component. The base component is made from an elastic material configured to allow the base component to stretch over differently sized mouths of drinking vessels to form a liquid-tight seal between the base component and the drinking vessels.
