A beverage container assembly has a container with an opening and a lid that closes the opening. The lid has a mouthpiece that extends laterally outwardly of the container to allow a person's head to remain upright or erect (i.e., minimizing or no head tilt movement) while drinking so as to not impede the user's straight-ahead vision, such as while driving. The mouthpiece is configured so that the container becomes disposed at one side of the nose so that the container is tiltable further as the nose does not interfere with the tilting action.

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 drinking cup lid, comprising: a center cover portion; a rib ring formed at the external circumferential edge of the center cover portion, the rib ring having a drinking recess, the external edge of the drinking recess being open while an insertion opening is disposed at the internal edge thereof, the bottom surface of the drinking recess being provided with a drinking opening; a vent hole formed in the center cover portion or in the rib ring; a snap ring portion formed at the external circumferential edge of the rib ring for a snap fit to the drinking cup; and a plug connected by a flexible strip in a hanging way to the external circumferential edge of the snap ring portion, the plug having a plug portion, a hand-held portion and an insert portion. Before use, the insert portion of the plug is fitted first into the insertion opening. Thereafter, the plug portion is fitted to the drinking opening. In this way, the laborious plug-and-pull problem of the conventional splash proof plug is resolved. As a result, the splash proof plug according to the invention can achieve an effort-saving plug-and-pull effect.

A spout-cap unit is provided. The spout-cap unit includes a spout including a sealboat, an outlet tube, a retaining member and a cap for closing the outlet tube in a closed position. The spout and the cap are tethered together via at least one tethering member to form the spout-cap unit, the tethering member is connected to the spout at one end and to the cap at the opposite end. The cap is releasable from the outlet tube and can be brought into a released state. In the released state, the cap and the spout remain tethered via the tethering member. The tethering member allows the cap to be moved to a retaining position away from the outlet of the outlet tube. The cap or tethering member can be coupled with the retaining member of the spout for retaining the cap at the retaining position.

A fluid transfer connector or adapter for coupling to a container or pharmacy bottle for facilitating the transfer of fluid or medicine from the bottle to a syringe, or from the syringe to the bottle. Optionally, an additional connector can be provided for coupling the fluid transfer connector to the syringe.

A dispenser with self-closing cap allows opening of said cap, dispensing of contents from said dispenser and closing of said cap using only one hand. In the first embodiment, said dispenser comprises a cap, tube, base and elastic cord internally disposed between said cap and said base. In a second embodiment said dispenser incorporates a D-ring attachment into the dispenser of the first embodiment. Multiple dispensers of the first embodiment can be transported and stored on one's person in a caddy with integral matching boreholes to receive said dispensers. Multiple dispensers of the second embodiment can be grouped on a split ring much as keys on a keyring. In a third embodiment the cap of said dispenser incorporates an O-ring which guards the contents of said container against moisture or allows the storage and dispensing of gels, creams or other viscous fluids. Said dispenser finds application in diverse areas; for example, in fly fishing for the dispensing of split shot; in the work shop for dispensing of small screws, washers, and related hardware; in the arts and craft field for the dispensing of beads, and in the medical field for the dispensing of pills.

A fluid transfer connector or adapter for coupling to a container or pharmacy bottle for facilitating the transfer of fluid or medicine from the bottle to a syringe, or from the syringe to the bottle. Optionally, an additional connector can be provided for coupling the fluid transfer connector to the syringe. Optionally, the connector can be provided with a sloped base for preventing residual amounts of fluids from remaining within the bottle.

A fluid transfer connector or adapter for coupling a container or pharmacy bottle for facilitating the transfer of fluid or medicine from the bottle to a syringe, or from the syringe to the bottle. Optionally, an additional connector can be provided for coupling the fluid transfer connector to the syringe.

A lid-spout assembly for a package intended to contain a pourable product and having a main body including a designated pour opening through which the pourable product can be poured, in use; the lid-spout assembly including a spout having a pouring outlet fluidly connectable with the designated pour opening; and a lid configured to be coupled to the spout to selectively close and open the pouring outlet; the spout including: a base frame configured to couple the spout to the main body about the designated pour opening and having a first wall configured to face, in use, the inner space of the main body, and a collar carrying the pouring outlet and protruding from the base frame; the base frame including a plurality of recesses obtained on the first wall.

A lid for sealing a tumbler or other type of beverage container. The lid features a cover and a sidewall, as well as a resilient drink opening plug that is removably tethered to the cover. The cord that tethers the plug is flexible, but is pre-formed into a pair of parabolic arcs that help prevent the cord from wildly dangling or flopping into a user's face while drinking.
