A cap for a container, such as a water bottle, includes a spout, a state sensor, and an actuator that moves the spout between an open position and a closed position when the state sensor senses a state change for the cap. When a state change is sensed, for example when the container is tilted by a threshold amount, or when a pressure within the container has increased by a threshold amount, an actuator automatically moves the spout between an open position and a closed position. The control mechanism could also track use data, such as how many times the spout has been open/closed, or how much liquid has traveled through the spout.

A condiment distribution apparatus is provided. The apparatus may include a condiment delivery fitment including a condiment delivery base comprising two curved exterior surfaces formed adjacent to a flat top surface, a curved condiment delivery tube having a remote end and a near end, the near end affixed to the flat top surface of the condiment delivery base, and product valve distribution means positioned within the condiment delivery base and attached to the curved condiment delivery tube enabling rotation of the curved condiment delivery tube relative to the condiment delivery base, wherein rotation of the product valve distribution means selectively inhibits or enables condiment product delivery via the curved condiment delivery tube.

A dual-access closure for a beverage container has a body with a flexible rim adapted to snap over an upper rim of a beverage container, a sealed, elongated enclosure attached to an underside of the body, a first access element adapted to open and close a first opening passing through the body into the sealed, elongated enclosure, a vapor-producing apparatus within the sealed, elongated enclosure and coupled to the first opening, and a second access element adapted to open and close a second opening passing through the body, outside the sealed, elongated enclosure. With the body engaged to the top of the beverage container, a user is enabled to manipulate the first access interface to draw vapor from the vapor-producing apparatus, and to manipulate the second access element to ingest a beverage from the beverage container.

A hydration bottle includes a fluid container and a lid assembly configured to be releasably engaged to the fluid container, the lid assembly having a first mouthpiece and a second mouthpiece independently accessible with respect to each other. The lid assembly includes a pivotal mount having two legs extending from a support member to form a generally U-shaped configuration, the support member defining a passage. The passage of the support member of the pivotal mount is configured to receive the first mouthpiece and has a cap fixedly disposed thereof. The second mouthpiece includes a pair of lateral projections on opposed ends thereof, the pair of lateral projections adapted to engage a pair of tapered flaps disposed on a base portion of the lid assembly.

Cap assemblies and drink containers including the same. The cap assemblies include a base portion that sealingly mates with a neck of a liquid vessel and includes a base opening, a cover portion including a drink outlet and pivotally coupled to the base portion to selectively transition the cover portion between closed and open configurations. When the cover portion is in the closed configuration with the cap assembly coupled to the liquid vessel, the cover portion channels liquid through the base opening to the drink outlet and restricts liquid from being dispensed from the cap assembly other than through the drink outlet. When the cover portion is in the open configuration with the cap assembly coupled to the liquid vessel, the cover portion is pivoted away from the base portion and permits liquid to be dispensed from the cap assembly through the base opening without passing through the drink outlet.

A water sanitization cap for covering a bottle is provided. The cap may include an ultraviolet-C (“UV-C”) light emitting diode (“LED”) housing and a shell. The shell may be adjacent to a portion of the housing. The cap may also include a waterproof compartment formed within the interior of the housing. The waterproof compartment may include one wall formed at least in part from a transparent material. The cap may include a UV-C LED. The UV-C LED may be fixed within the waterproof compartment, proximal to one end of the UV-C LED housing and oriented to shine light through the transparent material. The cap may include a sensor that when activated, applies a voltage to the UV-C LED to cause the UV-C LED to emit light. The cap may include a cartridge cage that can hold a cartridge. The cartridge cage may be removably attachable to an inner surface of the shell. The waterproof compartment wall may be positioned relative to the cartridge cage such that the UV-C LED, in use, treats water within the bottle before the water flows through the cartridge cage.

Disclosed are embodiments of containers having lids configured for dispensing contents from the container. In one embodiment, a lid can include a spout coupled to a spout collar; the lid can further include a link coupling the spout collar to a spout cover. The spout collar and link are configured to rotate the spout cover in a direction opposite a rotation of the spout as the spout initially rotates from a stowed position to an in-use position; as the spout continues to rotate toward the in-use position the spout cover reverses rotation and rotates toward the spout to cover an inners space of the lid previously occupied by the spout. When the spout achieves the in-use position the spout cover covers the space occupied by the spout when the spout is in the stowed position. As the spout is rotated from the in-use position toward the stowed position, the spout collar and the link cause the spout cover to open and rotate away from the spout. A further rotation of the spout towards the stowed position causes the spout cover to rotate back towards the spout. When the spout achieves the stowed the position the spout completes its rotation and covers the spout.

A personalized drinking cup assembly comprises a lid which includes a mouthpiece, and includes a fingerprint reader located thereon to enable the user to access and use the mouthpiece to drink from the cup. In some embodiments the cap comprises a top portion and a side wall extending perpendicularly therefrom, and the fingerprint reader is located on the side wall. In some embodiments, the cap further comprises a handle, on which the fingerprint reader is located. In use, the user utilizes the fingerprint reader in order to access the mouthpiece for drinking from the cup. Once the fingerprint reader is read and the user is identified as the owner or authorized user of the cup, the mouthpiece will be opened for consumption thereby.

A hydration bottle includes a fluid container and a lid assembly configured to be releasably engaged to the fluid container, the lid assembly having a first mouthpiece and a second mouthpiece independently accessible with respect to each other. The lid assembly includes a pivotal mount having two legs extending from a support member to form a generally U-shaped configuration, the support member defining a passage. The passage of the support member of the pivotal mount is configured to receive the first mouthpiece and has a cap fixedly disposed thereof. The second mouthpiece includes a pair of lateral projections on opposed ends thereof, the pair of lateral projections adapted to engage a pair of tapered flaps disposed on a base portion of the lid assembly.

A closure for a beverage container has a body having an attachment interface to engage to a top of a beverage container, a sealed, elongated enclosure attached to an underside of the body, and a single access element adapted to selectively open and close either a first opening passing through the body into the sealed, elongated enclosure or a second opening passing through the body directly to an inner volume of the beverage container.
