A universal drinkware connector to connect a first drinkware to a second drinkware, the universal drinkware connector including a central aperture to receive a beverage container therethrough, a first wall circumferentially disposed around the central aperture at a first end of the central aperture to removably connect to the first drinkware, a second wall circumferentially disposed around the central aperture at a second end of the central aperture to removably connect to the second drinkware, and an outer barrier disposed between the first wall and the second wall to separate the first drinkware from the second drinkware while the first drinkware and the second drinkware are connected to the outer barrier.

Resealable containers comprising a closure system comprising a fixed element and a movable closure element are disclosed. The containers may be constructed to be resealable and improve sanitary conditions of a dispensing aperture and allow for easier opening with the ability to be reseal, over a conventional container. Methods of manufacturing the resealable container and components thereof are also disclosed.

A lid for a container including a lid body, a movable arm, a first magnet unit coupled to the movable arm, an actuator, and a second magnet unit coupled to the actuator. The actuator is movable between a first and second position. The movable arm is movable between a sealing position, in which a drinking opening of the lid body is sealed, and an open position, in which the drinking opening is not sealed. When the actuator is in the first position, at least one of a biasing force and an attractive magnetic force between the first and second magnet units hold the movable arm in the sealing position. When the actuator is moved toward the second position, a repulsive magnetic force between the first and second magnet units causes the movable arm to move toward the open position.

A lid for a beverage container including a lid body defining a drinking passageway extending between a drinking opening at an upper rim of the lid body and a drinking passageway inlet at an interior of the lid body. The lid includes an actuator accessible from an exterior of the lid body and a sealing apparatus coupled to the actuator and located at least partially in an interior of the lid body. The actuator and the sealing apparatus can slide relative to the lid body between a sealed position and an unsealed position. In the sealed position a sealing member of the sealing apparatus contacts an interior surface of the lid body around the drinking passageway inlet to seal the drinking passageway.

A lid seal mechanism for sealing a drink opening in a lid of a beverage container. The lid seal mechanism has a slider, a plunger and a plunger seal. The slider body slides between a closed position and an open position, and pivots to a cleaning position. The slider body is connected to the lid in each of the closed, open, and cleaning positions. The slider has a body with a front and a rear. The plunger is pivotally connected to the front of the slider. The plunger seal is connected to the plunger. The plunger seal seals the drink opening in the lid when the slider is in the closed position, and the plunger seal opens the drink opening when the slider is in the open position to allow a user to drink contents from the beverage container.

A fitment for a sachet includes a body having a slot that extends from a lower surface of the body toward an upper surface of the body. The upper surface caps the slot in a first portion of the body such that fluid flow is prevented through the first portion of the body in a direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface. The slot connects to an opening in the upper surface in a second portion of the body. A flow path exists through the slot and the opening in the second portion of the body in the direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface.

Beverage lid apparatuses for directing scent to a user are provided. In some embodiments, a beverage lid apparatus can be configured to attach to a beverage container and, by way of a drinking aperture on the lid, direct the scent of a beverage in the beverage container to the nose of a user when the user drinks from the drinking aperture. For example, the size and shape of the drinking aperture can be configured to allow scent from the beverage container to pass through the drinking aperture and above the flow of the beverage, upward into the nose of the user when the user drinks from the drinking aperture. In some embodiments, a beverage lid apparatus can further include a sliding cover configured to prevent spillage and/or contain heat and/or aroma.

A dispensing apparatus having a lower housing having an opening, and a reservoir piece seated inside the lower housing and having a containing section that holds at least one item to be dispensed, the containing section having an enclosing wall, a base and an opening provided in the enclosing wall that communicates with the interior of the containing section. A biasing element is positioned between the base of the reservoir piece and the lower housing, with the biasing element normally biasing the reservoir piece to a non-dispensing position where the openings are not aligned. The apparatus also has an upper housing, and the upper housing and lower housing can be squeezed together to cause the reservoir piece to move downwardly against the normal bias of the biasing element, so as to align the openings to arrive at a dispensing position.

A secure drinking assembly includes a container that may contain a beverage. A valve is coupled to the container and the valve selectively opens and closes the container. A security lock is coupled to the container. The security lock may be manipulated thereby facilitating the security lock to receive a security code. The security lock actuates the valve to selectively open the container when the security lock receives the security code.
