A drinking vessel may include a tumbler having an inner surface dimension, a first portion, and a second portion. The first portion may include a proximal surface having a first dimension and a first rim coupled to the proximal surface and having a second dimension, the first dimension being larger than the second dimension. The second portion may include a collar having an outer dimension substantially similar to the first dimension, an inner dimension substantially similar to the second dimension, and a second rim connected to the collar and having an outer dimension substantially similar to the second dimension and the inner surface dimension.

A cartridge (1) for controlled brewing of loose-leaf tea in a cup, comprising an infusion chamber (2) for containing loose tea leaves (3) and infusing a liquid with substances from the tea leaves to brew tea. A chamber wall (20) impervious to the liquid defines the infusion chamber. In the chamber wall is a passage (21) between the infusion chamber and an exterior (5) thereof. The passage has an open state in which the infusion chamber is in liquid communication with the exterior, to transport the substances from the infusion chamber into liquid in the exterior during brewing tea. In a close state the infusion chamber inside is closed off from liquid in the exterior to stop a concentration of the substances in the liquid in the exterior from increasing. A manual control manually controllable by a human-being allows to bring the passage from the open state into the closed state.

A device to provide in-line flavor for water or other liquid stored in a container. An example device includes a body having a cylindrical shape chamber formed therein, and an opening on a first end of the body. A cartridge holder fits within the chamber of the body and retains a flavoring therein for the water or other liquid. The cartridge holder has a plurality of openings for the water or other liquid to flow through. When a user drinks from the drinking end, the water or other liquid flows from the container and through the housing and mixes with a flavoring from the cartridge holder before being drawn through to the drinking end so that the user drinks a flavored water or other liquid.

The present invention provides a lid assembly with a rotary trigger mechanism in combination with a seal assembly useful for actuating to open or close drink orifices and/or gas vent and is also able to selectively open the type of drink orifice as desirable. The invention also relates to a beverage container comprising such a lid assembly.

A light-up beverage container or drinking vessel has a double wall construction made up of an inner container and an outer container, the inner container having a frustoconical, straight-walled shape and the outer container having a curved sidewall when viewed from the side. In order to achieve an attractive illuminated appearance, the curved outer sidewall of the preferred drinking vessel includes facets or prism structures formed in and extending around a circumference of the curved sidewall.

A spoutless training lid assembly of a sippy cup includes a collar and a valve. The collar is configured to couple to a vessel and has an outer wall, an inner wall, an upper portion configured to be located outside the vessel and including an upper peripheral rim and a lower portion configured to be located inside the vessel and including a lower peripheral edge. The collar includes a peripheral shelf located about the inner wall. The valve is inserted into the collar and includes a flexible gasket over-molded to a rigid baffle to form a single, separable component. The gasket extends from a plate of the baffle and terminates at an outer peripheral edge that engages with the rim of the collar. The baffle secures to the shelf and portions of a perimeter edge of the plate of the baffle abut the inner wall of the collar.

A cup sleeve is capable of engagement with a cup lid when being sleeved around a cup. The cup lid has a sleeve engaging member. The cup sleeve includes a sleeve body formed with a receiving space for receiving the cup, and including a bottom portion, a top portion that is opposite to the bottom portion, a surrounding wall that extends from the bottom portion to the top portion, and a lid engaging unit that is formed on the surrounding wall that is proximal to the top portion for interlocking with the sleeve engaging member of the cup lid. A cup assembly is also provided.

A cover device (2) for a drink container comprises a basic assembly (9) which is provided with a drink opening (32), and a valve arrangement (20) for blocking or unblocking a passage to the drink opening (32) from a drink container side of the cover device (2). The valve arrangement (20) comprises a valve element (26) having two portions (27, 28) which are connected to each other through an area of the valve element (26) at a position where the valve element (26) is hingably associated with the basic assembly (9), and wherein only one of the two portions (27, 28) is in direct communication with the drink opening (32) of the basic assembly (9), so that a smallest total moment of force may be realized on the one portion (28) when the valve element (26) is subjected to pressure from the drink container side of the cover device (2).

A closure device (1) for containers comprises a collar (3) that is adapted to be applied to a neck (2a) of a liquid container (2) and has a lip (5); an elastically deformable membrane (6), that is adapted to be connected to the collar (3) and to close the container (2), the membrane (6) is configured to rest upon the lip (5) and define a seal (7) along the lip (5), the seal (7) is designed to be at least partially released by the pressure exerted by the mouth of a user; a first flange (10) and a second flange (11), the first flange (10) is formed as a single piece with the membrane (6), the second flange (11) is fixed to the collar (3) to be locked between the first flange (10) and the membrane (6).

The present disclosure may be embodied as a drinking vessel having an insulating body. The insulating body includes a cavity for containing a liquid. The cavity has a bottom and a cylindrical side wall. A top portion of the cylindrical side wall is internally threaded. The insulating body further includes a base with a storage mount. The storage mount is internally threaded. A lid having a drinking orifice is provided. The lid is externally threaded. The lid is configured to couple with the threads of the cavity or the threads of the storage mount such that the lid may be selectively coupled. The drinking vessel may further include a clamping ring. The clamping ring is externally threaded to couple with the cavity or the storage mount. The clamping ring is configured to cooperate with the cavity to secure a can or bottle within the cavity.
