There is proposed a seal for a retractable spout of a container, comprising a flexible generally elongate tubular body including a first annular end and an opposite second annular end. The first annular end of the seal is fixedly held circumferentially around or adjacent, an opening in the container through which the spout is configured to extend to thereby inhibit movement of a flowable substance out between an outer surface of said spout and an edge of said opening. The second annular end of the seal engaging with and extending outwardly from a lower or inner end of said spout. In this way when the spout is in a retracted position the second annular end bears against a bearing surface of the container to thereby inhibit movement of said flowable substance out through said spout.

The present invention provides a lid assembly for use in a beverage container, having a cap, a seal assembly configured to sealably close at least one drink orifice, and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is in operative connection with the cap and the seal assembly, and configured to synchronously actuate the cap to rotate and actuate the seal assembly to displace longitudinally, so as to open the drink orifice for dispensing and close the drink orifice via a single press action. The invention also relates to a beverage container comprising such a lid assembly.

Drink containers include a liquid container and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container. Cap assemblies include a switch, a trigger and seal bar. Upon actuating the trigger the seal bar slides back to form a drink outlet opening in the cap assembly. To hold the seal bar in an open state without additional external force from the user, the switch is slid from an unlocked position to a locked positon, thereby keeping the drink outlet and a vent formed in the cap assembly open in order to cool down a warm beverage in the liquid container.

A bottle comprising a bottle spout manufactured into the bottle that provides for an uninhibited, full-flow of beverage which has a user-initiated trigger and valve mechanism that can be activated in a single motion with one hand and which closes automatically when the user-initiated trigger is released. The bottle spout comprises a housing with a drinking end and a bottle connector end, a valve that is connected to an external trigger by a spring-loaded recoil mechanism, and a safety lock to prevent accidental opening of the valve. The bottle with the bottle spout may also comprise a carry clip and ergonomic features for ease of carrying and holding, respectively.

An example lid assembly may include a lid and a slider. The slider may be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers a container opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container may be released. The slider may include at least one slider positioning magnet and at least one lid positioning magnet that may be configured to lock the slider in the closed position and lock the slider in the opened position. The magnets may have a length and a width that are equal to each other.

Reclosable cup lids are provided herein. The reclosable cup lid can have a rim portion defining an outer perimeter. A sidewall can extend upwardly from the rim portion, and an upper surface can slope from a first end thereof to a second end thereof. A cavity can be disposed within the sidewall and above the upper surface. A drink aperture can be disposed within the cavity and formed through at least a portion of the upper surface to allow fluid flow therethrough. A slideable tab can be at least partially disposed within the cavity that can have at least two opposing sides that are generally straight, providing a track for the slideable tab.

A cup cover switch includes a cup cover body and a switch body, the switch body is mounted in the cup cover body; the switch body includes a water sealing plate, a clamping cap, a threaded column, a rotary knob, a switch cover and a silica gel sealing gasket; the switch cover is located above the cup cover body, the threaded column is mounted in the switch cover, and the threaded column is in threaded connection with the switch cover in a penetrating manner; the rotary knob is integrally arranged at an upper end of the threaded column, the switch cover is fastened by the rotary knob, and the lower end of the threaded column is connected to the clamping cap; middle portion of the threaded column is in threaded connection with the water sealing plate, and the water sealing plate is located below the cup cover body.

An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be formed from upper and lower sled elements that are magnetically coupled to one another.
