A drink cup having an automatic retractable straw is disclosed herein. It comprises a main body having an outer cup, an inner cup having a guide inclined surface at a bottom thereof, and a vacuum insulation layer between the outer cup and the inner cup; a lid covered on the main body and having an opening at one side thereof for corresponding to an upper end of the guide inclined surface, a containing groove adjacent to the opening on a top surface thereof, and a flip cover pivotally disposed on the containing groove and having a convex part corresponding to the opening; and a straw accommodated in the inner cup and having a connecting member formed with a first perforation at one end thereof for connecting to an upper end of the straw and a second perforation corresponding to the bonding part of the lid at the other end thereof.

A lid assembly comprises a coupling ring, a lid and a connecting unit connecting the lid to the coupling ring. The lid comprises a cover wall configured to cover a pouring outlet and a sealing ring protruding away from the cover wall and configured to interact with a collar carrying the pouring outlet to seal the pouring outlet. The sealing ring comprises at least a first ring portion and a second ring portion. The first ring portion comprises a first end spaced apart from the cover wall and the second ring portion comprises a second end spaced apart from the cover wall. A first distance of the first end from the cover wall with respect to a normal axis of the cover wall is greater than a second distance of the second end from the cover wall with respect to the normal axis.

A tap dispenser assembly for use with a fluid container including a tap body, a spring button, and a valve. The tap body includes an attachment portion, a dispensing portion, and a fluid channel with an upper wall and a lower wall. The dispensing portion includes a valve stem guide and a guide support. The guide support is above the lower wall and/or the upper wall. The valve is connected to the spring button and is slidingly inserted into the valve stem guide. The tap dispenser assembly has a closed position where the spring button is not depressed and the valve seals the dispensing portion and an open position where the spring button is depressed and the seal between the valve and dispensing portion is broken, allowing fluid to flow from the tap dispenser assembly.

A beverage container has a base releasably attached to a vessel. A reciprocating nipple is mounted on the base. A flexible conduit mounted at the base is connected to the nipple. The flexible conduit can communicate between the vessel and the nipple. A user can draw liquid from the vessel through the flexible conduit and nipple. An actuating element is mounted on the base and is coupled to the nipple. The actuating element is manually operable to reciprocate the nipple between an extended and a retracted position. Portions of the flexible conduit are adapted to collapse, occlude, and prevent communication of liquid to the nipple in response to motion of the nipple into the retracted position.

A flexible package for dispensing a liquid. The package includes a fitment and a piercing member. The fitment is secured to a wall of the flexible package and has a passageway extending through it and a screw-thread section. The piercing member has a passageway extending through it, a piercing tip, and a screw-thread section. The piercing member is configured for insertion in the passageway of the fitment, with the screw-thread sections engaging each other to cause the piercing tip to penetrate the package, whereupon the liquid within the package can flow into and through the piercing member.

A flexible container assembly that combines insulation, ease-of-carrying, and user-friendly drinking and is packaged to offer a wide range of style choices. The container assembly includes protection of mouth-contacting surfaces, easy cleaning, and spill protection among the other advantages. The invention comprises of a flexible container featuring a neck that seals upon folding itself into a downward position and works with a sealable mouthpiece at its top end to prevent the outflow of fluids. The container of the assembly uses a wide-mouth screw-port base to enable easier filling and cleaning. The assembly utilizes an integrated insulating flexible cover which features securable openings to access the bottle ports, as well as carrying handles, finger loops, attachment hooks, and pockets.

An insulating container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching devices, in either the closed configuration or the open configuration. In some examples, the rotatable lid may be non-destructively removable from the base. Some example arrangements include a removable lid that, when removed, may be secured to the base via an additional portion of the latching device. Additional features of the insulating container include handles that are integrally formed with the base, a recess formed in the base and housing a spigot, and/or a spigot guard, and/or an insulating container mount.

Disclosed herein is a dispensing assembly for dispensing flowable material from a container. The dispensing assembly has a spout that communicates with the flowable material and defines a spout retention element. The assembly further has a cap configured to releasably attach to the spout. The cap has a first collar and a second collar, the first collar defining a cap retention element. The cap retention element is configured to contact the spout retention element such that the cap is affixed to the spout, and the engagement between the cap retention element and the spout retention element is reversible, such that the cap is removed from contacting the spout.

A present application relates to a dispensing component for use with an urn liner. The dispensing component includes a spout formed of a polyethylene material and a flexible tube formed of a thermoplastic elastomer material. The spout and tube are formed together as a single component in a mold by co-injection of the polyethylene material and the thermoplastic elastomer material.

A collapsible food and beverage container, including a body having an open top, a thickened neck connecting the open top to a flexible reservoir having an interior configured to receive food or beverage, the reservoir having a vertical shape with thin and flexible front and rear sidewalls squeezable toward one another to expel food or beverage from the reservoir via the open top, thickened side flanges and a base, the thickened side flanges extending continuously from the base of the reservoir to the neck of the body to support and maintain the vertical shape of the reservoir to enable the reservoir to stand while static and full of food or beverage, and to avoid vertical collapse of the reservoir when the reservoir is squeezed to dispense food or beverage from the container.
