In a first aspect, the current invention concerns a lid assembly for a drinking container, the lid assembly comprising a lid housing having a drinking opening, a sealing assembly comprising a sealing assembly body and a sealing element which is moveable between a first closed position and a second open position, and an operating assembly for operating the sealing assembly to move the sealing element between the first and second positions. In particular, the lid assembly further comprises a mounting member onto which the sealing assembly body is pivotally mounted, about a pivot axis, and wherein the mounting member is releasably connectable to the lid housing. The invention further concerns an interior mechanism for a lid assembly, and a drinking container comprising such a lid assembly.

A fluid device generally comprises a staging reservoir which may receive a volume of fluid flowing from a primary reservoir via a controllable coupler, wherein the staging reservoir is usable to stage fluid within the device prior to pouring fluid from the device and is configured to allow a staged volume of fluid to be observed and/or measured in order to dispense a desired amount of fluid.

Various aspects of the invention described herein relate to a removable connector assembly, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. More particularly, certain embodiments relate to apparatus and methods to provide a connection to a spout disposed upon a container, such as upon a bag holding fluid. Embodiments of connector assemblies comprise an elongated outer housing, an inner housing, and a slider assembly for moving the outer surface of the sleeve member over the inner surface of the outer housing wall in a lengthwise motion to position the spout connector upon the spout and secure the spout connector in said position.

A drink container and plug lid for use therewith. The lid has an upper member and a lower member with a ring seal positioned therebetween and radially outwardly stretchable from an initial diameter to a larger sealing diameter in response to an actuator moving the upper and lower members together to place the ring seal in fluid-tight sealing engagement with the container body. Moving the upper and lower members apart allows the radially outward stretched ring seal to move from the sealing diameter to the initial diameter whereat it is out of fluid-tight sealing engagement with the container body.

A convenient lid includes a housing, a lid opening, a press plate, a button, an insertion plate, a guide plate and a threaded body, the lid opening and the threaded body are provided on the lower part of the housing, the side of the lid is provided with a first concave cavity, a fixing body and a guide column are provided in the first concave cavity, a switch device and a security device are provided on the fixing body and the guide column, a guide plate, an insertion plate and a press plate are provided inside the lid, a concave ring and a guide strip are provided on the outside of the lid opening, a convex ring, a guide slot and a latch are provided on the inner side of the threaded body, ribs and threads are provided on the outer side of the threaded body.

A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container.

The disclosure provides a container including a resealable closure mechanism having a rocker arm and a pull tab or actuator button.

A paint can pouring assembly for reducing spillage from a paint can includes a paint can that contains a fluid paint. The paint can has an opening therein and a disk is removably coupled to the paint can for closing the opening. The disk has a vent aperture extending therethrough to ventilate air from the paint can when the disk is positioned on the paint can. A spout is removably coupled to the disk for dispensing a selected amount of the fluid paint from the paint can when the disk is positioned on the paint can. Moreover, the spout inhibits the fluid paint from spilling out of the paint can to protect the environment from spilled fluid paint.

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 position, 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.
