A lid assembly outfits a liquid container and may function to position a liquid-permeable container relative to the liquid container. The lid assembly may include a lid body having a rim-receiving groove, an object-supportive depression, and a primary liquid-letting aperture. The primary liquid-letting aperture primarily enables liquid egression from the liquid container. The object-supportive depression supports objects and defines a tertiary liquid-letting aperture for outletting liquid into the liquid container. A lid body insert may be received and supported by the lid body in superior adjacency to the object-supportive depression and has a secondary liquid-letting aperture and an insert axis. The lid body insert is rotatable about the insert axis intermediate open and closed lid positions such that the secondary liquid-letting aperture is rotatably positionable either in superior or lateral adjacency to the primary liquid-letting aperture for selectively opening and closing the lid assembly.

A water bottle includes a bottle body and at least one steel sheet. The steel sheet has an arc-shaped cross-section, and is flexibly movable, curled and wound around a periphery of the bottle body. A silicone sleeve is wrapped around the steel sheet. A pattern or text is provided on a curled outer side surface of the silicone sleeve curling around the bottle body. The water bottle is advantageous in that it is simple in structure, anti-scald, anti-drop, nice looking and highly interesting.

A disposable cartridge for use as a filter in particular for soluble elements, aromatic herbs such as tea, coffee, chamomile, infusion, whose configuration comprises means for securely and stably fixing it without occupying the entire annular diameter of a cup or container, characterized in that it is made up of a symmetrical laminar template (2) whose plantar shape is determined by an upper area of sinusoidal contours (3) with a superior central ridge or rounded tongue (4) followed by curved shoulders (4a) is the middle area of which it is present a groove or opening of oblong configuration (5) with rounded ends (6), which serves as means for cartridge holding (1) with the cup (8) upper perimetric rim (7) in which the lower area of the template (2) has a triangular obtuse-angled body (9) with straight sides (9a).

A tea leaf chamber, having a chamber body; wherein the chamber body has a hollow cover with an opening thereof facing downwardly, and a hollow seat with an opening thereof facing upwardly; the cover covers onto the seat; a cavity that accommodates tea leaves is defined between the cover and the seat after the cover covers onto the seat; an inner bottom side of the hollow cover away from the opening thereof is disposed with a counterweight; a bottom part of the counterweight is embedded with a magnet. The tea leaf chamber has a special shape, and by means of magnetic attraction and filter holes, it can hold tea leaves to brew tea. The tea leaf chamber is multifunctional, and the many ways to connect the cover and the seat enable convenient connection, reliable mounting and dismounting between the cover and the seat, and simple operation.

A container that controls combining a soluble material with a solution includes a body that holds the soluble material and a film that covers the body and having pores therein, where flow through the pores is impeded after a pre-determined amount of time following the soluble material in the container being combined with the solution outside the container. The soluble material may be tea. The solution may be water. The body may have a frame that supports the film. The pores may contract to impede flow therethrough. The pores may contract in response to temperature of the solution, in response to a pH level of a combination of the solution and the soluble material. and/or in response to being exposed to water. The container may include beads disposed proximal to the pores, where the beads expand to impede flow through the pores.
