A reclosable cup lid that can include an upper surface having at least one recess formed therein, that is arcuate in shape. The reclosable cup lid can also include a tab configured to fit within the recess. The tab having an arcuate shape corresponding to the arcuate shape of the recess. The reclosable cup lid can also include an opening disposed within the recess to allow fluid flow therethrough. The tab can be adapted to move within the recess from a first position to a second position so that the opening is at least partially blocked when the tab is located in the first position and the opening is at least partially unobstructed when the tab is located in the second position.

A recloseable lid for closing an open top of a cup terminating in an annular upper edge includes a cup mount defining an annular channel configured to receive the annular upper edge of the cup and a cap having an annular side wall extending upwardly from the cup mount and terminating in a top having an annular floor spaced above the cup mount. A drink opening is disposed in the top and a plug assembly having a drink opening plug is provided. The drink opening plug can be selectively moveable between a closed position in which the drink opening plug is received within the drink opening for closing the drink opening and an open position in which the drink opening plug is not disposed within the drink opening. The lid can also include a plug retainer disposed in the cap and configured to retain the drink opening plug in the open position.

A lid assembly including a camming lever and a sealing member for selectively sealing and unsealing a drinking aperture of a lid main body. The camming lever is rotatably to selectively move the sealing member between a sealed position adjacent to and an unsealed position spaced apart from the drinking aperture. The camming lever includes a lever arm extending from two cams having a cam axle extending therebetween. The cam axle is pivotally attached to the sealing member, which is pivotally attached to the lid main body. The cams engage an upper surface of the lid main body. A stub axle extends laterally outward from each cam and engages a ledge which limiting upward movement of the cams.

The present embodiments describe an insulated drinking vessel and a multifunction lid. In an embodiment, the drinking vessel can be configured to receive a multifunction lid. The multifunction lid may, in one embodiment, include a first opening having a first cover. The first cover is movably disposed on the lid in at least a first and second position, where the first opening is larger when the first cover is in its first position than when in its second position. In an embodiment, the multifunction lid may additionally include a second opening for drinking or sipping directly through the lid. In an embodiment, the lid may include a second cover for covering the second opening in a first position and for allowing access to the fluid through the second opening in a second position. In an embodiment, liquid in said container dispenses more rapidly from the second opening when the first cover is in its first position than when in its second position.

Described are lid protection systems. These systems include a cover configured to protect at least a mouth portion of a lid. The cover can be configured to not substantially affect stackability of the lids to which they are applied.

A container is provided with a lid having a push-button trigger mechanism that operates both a drink seal for a drinking opening and a vent seal for a vent opening. The trigger translates in a straight line transverse to a longitudinal axis of the container body during the entire movement of the trigger to define a straight-line actuation stroke. The vent opening is initially opened during a first portion of the actuation stroke of the trigger, and the drink opening is initially opened during a second portion of the actuation stroke of the trigger.

A container includes a base defining a perimeter opening and a top surface within the perimeter opening. The top surface includes a plurality of discrete openings defining respective compartments extending downwardly from the top surface of the base. A first recloseable lid covers the perimeter opening when the container is closed to resist transfer of solid matter between the compartments of the base. An additional recloseable lid encloses one of the compartments to resist liquid from exiting the compartment when the compartment is closed.

A compartmentalized vessel apparatus holds one or more of dry cereal, milk and/or a hot liquid in separate compartments. Moreover, the vessel allows a user to receive dry cereal therefrom and milk together in a single drinking motion, by placing the user's lips on a rim of the vessel and tipping the same. Cereal and milk, held in the separate compartments, flows therefrom. In addition, a compartment comprising a hot liquid, such as hot coffee, tea, or other like hot drink, is contained in yet another compartment and may be imbibed by an individual from the same vessel, but separately from the cereal and milk. Methods of using the same are further provided.

A container includes a body and an upper head and a lower bottom. The container includes a first opening in the upper head, the first opening having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the body. The first opening can include a rim extending from the upper head. The container further includes a second opening in the upper head, the second opening including a vent.

An apparatus for use with animals can include a first container comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end comprises a first fastener located on a first surface of the first container and the second end comprises a second fastener positioned on a second surface of the first container, and wherein the first surface is different form the second surface; a first lid comprising a third end and a fourth end, wherein fourth end comprises a third fastener located on a surface of the first lid, wherein the first lid is configured to be coupled to the first end of the first container by coupling together the third fastener and the first fastener; and a second container including a fifth end and a sixth end, wherein the fifth end comprises a fourth fastener located on a third surface of the second container, wherein the sixth end comprises a fifth fastener located on a fourth surface of the second container, wherein the third surface is different from the fourth surface, and wherein the second container is configured to be coupled to the second end of the first container by coupling together the fourth fastener and the second fastener. Other embodiments are disclosed.
