A device and system that can perform bi-directional gas and fluid communication, thereby preventing the accidental spill and splash of sloshing liquids through the sip-hole orifice of a liquid container and/or the sip-hole orifice of its lid, but that still allows liquid to flow through the sip-hole. This is achieved by cutting into the sip-hole, extending the sip-hole and creating a tubular flow-path or labyrinth flow-path that can channel and direct the flow of liquid into a controlled and desired flow and rate via an inlet configured to do so, and by adding a removable plug. These elements help to buffer and deflect sloshing liquid thereby minimizing or preventing the accidental release of liquid, and in many cases improving the purposeful flow of liquid back into the container.

Lid for beverage container. A lid of the present disclosure can include a lid body configured to threadably couple to a container, and a tab assembly hingedly coupled to the lid body, the tab assembly comprising a flip component and a tab component, wherein the flip component is configured to flip from a closed configuration to an open configuration relative to the lid body, and wherein the slide component is configured to slide relative to the flip component so to lock and unlock the slide component upon the lid body.

A beverage container includes a container body, a lid and a rotatable sealing arrangement. The lid includes a lid body having a top panel and an access opening. The rotatable sealing arrangement includes a cover assembly and a sealing piece. The cover assembly includes a main shaft and a first sealing cover extended from the main shaft and positioned on the top panel of the lid body. The sealing piece is movably coupled to the main shaft, and includes a coupler ring having a through hole and a second sealing cover extended from the coupler ring. When the cover assembly is in an opened position, the cover assembly is rotated so that the first sealing cover is rotated to cover on top of the access opening, while the second sealing cover is driven to move upwardly with respect to the main shaft for blocking the access opening.

A connecting structure for a molded paper pulp cup cover comprising a tearable turnover flip cover integrally formed with and arranged on a cup cover plate, where a drinking hole is formed after the flip cover is overturned. The rear side of the flip cover is connected to the hole wall of the drinking hole by at least one turnover stress connection point; the circumferential side edge of the flip cover is connected to the drinking hole by a tear line that comprises a U-shaped section and arc-shaped sections located at the two ends of the U-shaped section; tearable connecting points are formed between the U-shaped section and the arc-shaped sections and a vertical distance from the tearable connecting points to the bottom of the U-shaped section is greater than a vertical distance from the tearable connecting points to the turnover stress connecting points.

A two-part disposable, stackable and recloseable lid for a container holding a beverage. The lid has a dome configuration for higher volume beverages. The lid has a drinking aperture and an a moveable arm with a plug to seal the drinking aperture. The lid has a recess for storing the plug end of the arm when the drinking aperture is being used.

An apparatus includes an exterior portion, an interior portion, a first top, and a second top. The exterior portion includes an exterior wall, an exterior top end coupled to the exterior wall, and an exterior bottom closed end coupled to the exterior wall. The interior portion nests within the exterior portion and includes an interior wall having a geometry smaller than the exterior portion, an interior bottom closed end coupled to the interior wall, and an interior top end coupled to the interior wall opposite the interior bottom closed end. The first top closes the interior top end to form an interior space within the interior portion. The first top includes a first opening. The second top includes a second opening. The second top engages with the exterior bottom end in a stored position and engages with the exterior top end in a containing position.

A beverage container includes a container body, a lid having a support panel, and a push sealing arrangement. The push sealing arrangement includes a cover assembly, a main shaft and a sealing piece. The cover assembly includes a first cover. The sealing piece includes a second cover positioned underneath the first cover and the access opening. The cover assembly is arranged to move between an opened position and a closed position. In the closed position, the cover assembly is slid to drive the first cover to cover on top of the access opening, while the second cover is driven to move upwardly for blocking a bottom side of the access opening. In the opened position, the first cover is slid to expose the access opening to ambient environment, while the second cover is driven to move downwardly to allow liquid to flow out of the container body.

The present invention relates to a container assembly for accommodating a beverage. The container assembly comprises a collapsible beverage container having a body part for accommodating the beverage and a cylindrical neck part defining a gas-filled headspace. The container assembly further comprises a closure sealing off an opening of the cylindrical neck part. The closure comprises a closure disc, an inner cylindrical part and an outer cylindrical part. The closure disc comprises a beverage outlet for extracting the beverage. The closure further comprises a pressure-relief device located at the closure disc or the inner cylindrical part. The pressure-relief device is capable of establishing a permanent or reclosable opening through the closure or between the closure and the neck part for allowing a flow of fluid from the headspace to an external space when a pressure difference exceeds a predetermined pressure value being lower than the burst pressure of the container.

A lid is disclosed having a spring mechanism that pushes up an activator lever while also lifting up a flow stopper that keeps fluid from the mug and out through the lid. A button in the side of the lid activates the lever. This button can be locked in either the open or closed position. The open architecture allows for easy disassembly and deep cleaning of all of the parts of the lid. Due to the design of the lid, a mug can be filled without having to remove the lid. Similarly, the user does not have to touch any part of the lid from which water flows. This makes the use of this lid more sanitary.

A protective barrier for a beverage lid surface is disclosed including a top side, a bottom side, wherein the protective barrier is flexible, an outer perimeter, wherein the outer perimeter aligns with the associated beverage lid surface, and an anti-microbial coating, wherein the protective barrier is connected to the beverage lid surface with an adhesive or by using static cling.
