A drinking vessel having a cup with a removable lid having an inlet-outlet opening which receives an elastic straw-vent assembly having a flexible tubular straw and an air passageway forming a vent opening. A cover movably mounted on top of the lid, shiftable between a closed and an open position, with an inward surface of the cover forming fluid tight seal with the vent opening when the cover is in the closed position. In the closed position the cover engages the straw, folding the straw against the lid to seal the straw passageway, and in the open position, the straw fluid passageway and the vent opening are unobstructed by the cover. A removeable elastic straw-vent assembly is also disclosed having a tab to be grasped by the user for easy removal for cleaning.

Examples of a print particle transfer interface of a donor container are described herein. Some examples of the print particle transfer interface include a static interface portion to engage a receiving container. The static interface portion includes a static opening. Some examples of the print particle transfer interface include a rotating output assembly with a cylindrical valve seat and a seal component surrounding a valve opening. In some examples, the cylindrical valve seat rotates with respect to the static interface portion to align the valve opening for dispensing print particle to the receiving container.

An example of a device (100) may include a valve body (108). The device (100) may include a printing substance transfer aperture (122) through the valve body (108). The device (100) may include a hood (138), fixed to the valve body (108), encompassing the printing substance transfer aperture (122) within a cavity between an external face (137) of the valve body (108) and the hood (138). The device (100) may include a printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) movable between a first position with an orifice (126) of the printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) facing an internal face of the valve body (108) and a second position with the orifice (126) of the printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) facing the printing substance transfer aperture (122). The device (100) may include a dispensing-side gasket material (132) slide-able through the printing substance transfer aperture (122) when moving the printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) between the first position and the second position.

A rotary filling machine includes a hub member and a hub insert. The hub member includes an internal bore defining an inner surface portion with a plurality of material transfer openings. The hub insert includes a portion disposed within the bore, wherein the portion includes an outer surface portion that includes a plurality of material transfer openings. One of the hub member or the hub insert is rotatable and the other of the hub member or the hub insert is stationary.

A device for attaching to commercial beverage container 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 device is comprised of 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 connector end is designed to be connected to various bottle neck and thread sizes. Alternatively, the bottle connector end may be designed for a single beverage container. The device may also be comprised of a carry clip and ergonomic features for ease of carrying and holding, respectively. The device may alternatively be manufactured onto beverage containers.

An infuser container is disclosed comprising a container body for holding liquids and from which liquid is poured; and a removable infuser filter positioned across an interior of the container body so that liquid in a lower section beneath the infuser filter passes through the filter to dispense from the container body, wherein the filter is positioned across the container interior and retained in position against displacement thereof during pouring of liquids. Also disclosed is a container lid assembly.

A fitness bottle that can contain a liquid is disclosed. The bottle is openable and closeable by one hand of a user during exercise. The bottle includes an open/close mechanism whereby a push of a button serves to open the bottle if it is closed, or to close the bottle if it is open.

The present disclosure relates to a cup cap 20 for a straw cup and a straw cup 1. The cup cap for the straw cup proposed herein comprises a cap body 30 and a movable cap 40 mounted on the cap body. The movable cap is movable between a closed position and an open position. The cap body is provided with a suction nozzle 34 and a normally closed valve 32. A guide track 46 is provided on a side of the movable cap facing the cap body. During a movement of the movable cap between the closed position and the open position, the guide track passes through the normally closed valve and applies a force to the normally closed valve to open the normally closed valve to balance the pressure inside and outside the straw cup. The present disclosure further provides a straw cup comprising such a cup cap. Embodiments of the present disclosure may prevent leakage, and may prevent hot water in the cup from spilling out from the suction nozzle and causing scald during the opening of the straw cup.
