Linked poppet valves in a liquid dispensing spout are coupled to each other and thus open and close together responsive to displacement of a valve stem for both poppet valves. The valve stem is driven by a spring loaded actuator, which acts as a mechanical interface between the valve stem and an operator's push button.

The subject matter discloses a faucet inserted into a paint port of a painting apparatus to control flow of paint removed from the painting apparatus, the faucet comprising an external mold rotatably insertable into a paint port of a painting apparatus; wherein said external mold is spiral; an internal mold insertable into the external mold; a faucet valve to control flow of paint from the paint apparatus.

A bottle device is disclosed. An example bottle device includes a housing to contain a liquid therein, and an opening in the housing. A cover rotates between an open position and a closed position over the opening to selectively release the liquid from the housing. A switch is connected to the cover via a switch arm, a connecting arm, and a primary link arm to move a switch arm between a first position and a second position corresponding to the open position and the closed position of the cover.

A drinking assembly, such as a water bottle or a drinkware, having a drinking vessel and a lid assembly attached to the drinking vessel, such as by threads. The drinking vessel can have a double-wall construction. The lid assembly can have a control assembly to open and close a drink opening and a vent opening. The lid assembly can be removed from the body of the lid to enable cleaning. The control arm of the control assembly can pivot or rotate to impart an axial motion on an actuator to open the drink opening and the vent opening.

A lid for use on a container includes a drinking opening with a sealing assembly that selectively opens and closes the drinking opening based on movement of a first actuator. In embodiments, the first actuator may be positioned in a locked position or mode in which the seal remains in the drinking opening to prevent fluid from passing therethrough. The first actuator may be positioned in a second position or mode to move the seal into a first open position to allow a limited amount of water to flow through the opening. The first actuator may be positioned in a third position or mode to move the seal into a second open position to allow a larger amount of water to flow through the opening. The sealing assembly may be removed from the lid for cleaning or repair.

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.

An openable and closeable lid assembly is provided for a beverage container. The lid assembly comprises a lid housing, an actuator and a seal. The lid housing has an upper surface with a drink aperture and an actuator aperture extending therethrough. The actuator extends through the actuator aperture and is positionable in an open position, where liquid can pass through the drink aperture, and a closed position, where the drink aperture is closed. A seal is provided adjacent the actuator aperture. The seal seals against the actuator and the lid housing to prevent liquid from escaping out the actuator aperture.

A lid includes a lid lever and a seal arm assembly that stage opening of a vent hole relative to a drink hole so that vapor within the liquid container may be vented to the atmosphere before the drink hole is opened. As the lid lever is rotated a first direction, beginning from a closed position, the lid lever rotates a small amount independently of the seal arm assembly to open a vent hole before contacting the seal arm assembly to open a drink hole. As the lid lever is rotated in a second direction, from an open position, the lid lever and the seal arm assembly rotate in unison until the drink hole is closed.
