An apparatus includes a cap assembly and a container assembly. The cap assembly may be unscrewed from the container assembly by simultaneously pressing a predetermined combination of buttons available on the top of the cap assembly. If the predetermined combination of buttons is not precisely and exclusively selected, the cap assembly resists being unscrewed from the container assembly and a beverage inside remains inaccessible. A user of the apparatus who knows the correct combination of buttons will thereby be able to readily access the beverage in the container assembly, but one without that knowledge will not. Tampering is avoided.

An apparatus can include a generally planar portion approximately in a plane. The apparatus can also include a lip portion extending in a direction generally orthogonal to the plane. The generally planar portion is joined to the lip portion at a circumferential edge of the generally planar portion to form a cover for a beverage container. Likewise, a method can include providing contact information on a disposable cover adapted to cover a beverage container. The contact information is not necessarily provided by the manufacturer of the beverage or beverage container. The method can also include receiving contact from a user of the disposable cover. The method can further include coordinating the delivery of a service to the user of the disposable cover responsive to the contact received from the user.

A device comprising an adjustable lid for covering a glass or cup that covers the top of the glass or cup and prevents substances from being placed in the glass or cup.

The beverage container cover is a disposable security cover that is placed over an open beverage container that contains a beverage. The beverage container cover is placed over the open beverage container for the purposes of: 1) protecting the contents contained within the open beverage container from being tampered with while the open beverage container is unattended; 2) provide a visual indication that indicates that an attempt was made to tamper with the contents contained within the beverage container. The beverage container cover comprises a shell and a locking mechanism. The shell is wrapped around the beverage container to prevent tampering with the contents of the beverage container. The locking mechanism is a permanent lock that once engaged cannot be disengaged. The beverage container cover is removed by removing a perforated tab that is formed within the shell of the beverage container cover.

A drinking container lid device for covering an opening of a drinking container, the drinking container has a rim defining the opening is provided. The drinking container lid device comprises a hollow casing lid with an opening formed in the hollow casing. An elastic material completely encircles the opening. The lid is positionable about the rim of the drinking container completely covering the opening of the drinking container. The elastic material releasably secures the lid about the rim of the drinking container. The lid enables users to easily cover, protect, and personalize the drinking vessel and protect health, hygiene, and peace of mind.

A drinking vessel monitor in the form of a lid with a protective disc of rigid material and a depending skirt. A key operated mechanical linkage is connected to contact members underlying the protective disc. Springs cause the contact members to pivot outwardly upon removal of the lid from a drinking vessel. Without the key to operate the mechanical linkage, the contact members hidden within the skirt cannot be retracted sufficiently to place the lid back on the drinking vessel. Optionally, an electrical circuit can be added with a signal generator which generates a visual or audible signal if tampering has occurred.

Within the scope of the present invention is a drink protector that prevents adulteration of the contents within a beverage container.

A secure beverage container may include a body having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, a first longitudinal side extending between the first end and the second end, and a second longitudinal side opposing the first longitudinal side and extending between the first end and the second end, the first end being closed, the second end being open. The body may define a cavity to receive a beverage fluid. The secure beverage container may include a lid to be received by the second end to seal the cavity in the body, and a powered locking device. The secure beverage container may include an access control device coupled to the powered locking device and configured to cause the powered locking device to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state based upon a security token.
