An infuser container is disclosed comprising a container body for holding liquids and from which liquid is poured; and a removable infuser filter positioned across an interior of the container body so that liquid in a lower section beneath the infuser filter passes through the filter to dispense from the container body, wherein the filter is positioned across the container interior and retained in position against displacement thereof during pouring of liquids. Also disclosed is a container lid assembly.

A lower lid portion and an upper lid portion for flow-control of liquid from a bottle. The lower lid portion may be attached to the bottle via a threading structure. The lower lid portion a key mating structure and one or more pluralities of slots. The lower lid portion may be attached an upper lid portion via a key structure of the upper lid portion that rotationally engages the key mating structure of the lower lid portion such that the upper lid portion and the lower lid portion may be aligned at various flow-control positions. Flow-control positions may correspond to alignments of the upper lid's slots with slots of the lower lid. Alignment of upper lid slots with various lower lid slots may allow for various rates of liquid flow.

The present invention provides a lid assembly for use in a beverage container, having a cap, a seal assembly configured to sealably close at least one drink orifice, and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is in operative connection with the cap and the seal assembly, and configured to synchronously actuate the cap to rotate and actuate the seal assembly to displace longitudinally, so as to open the drink orifice for dispensing and close the drink orifice via a single press action. The invention also relates to a beverage container comprising such a lid assembly.

A drinking vessel with selectable modes includes a lid, a straw, and a container. The lid extends over an upper opening of the container. The lid includes a lid upper portion and a lid base. The lid upper portion defines a drinking passage therethrough, the drinking passage disposed at an upper rim of the lid upper portion. The lid base defines a first fluid passage therethrough and a second fluid passage therethrough. The straw is coupled to a bottom side of the second fluid passage. The lid upper portion is rotatable through at least three positions relative to the lid base. In the first position the drinking passage does not align with either the first fluid passage or the second fluid passage. In the second position the drinking passage aligns with the first fluid passage. In the third position the drinking passage aligns with the second fluid passage.

A device for attaching to commercial beverage container that provides for an uninhibited, full-flow of beverage which has a user-initiated trigger and valve mechanism that can be activated in a single motion with one hand and which closes automatically when the user-initiated trigger is released. The device is comprised of a housing with a drinking end and a bottle connector end, a valve that is connected to an external trigger by a spring-loaded recoil mechanism, and a safety lock to prevent accidental opening of the valve. The bottle connector end is designed to be connected to various bottle neck and thread sizes. Alternatively, the bottle connector end may be designed for a single beverage container. The device may also be comprised of a carry clip and ergonomic features for ease of carrying and holding, respectively. The device may alternatively be manufactured onto beverage containers.

A beverage container cover assembly is provided that is configured to enclose a beverage within a beverage container. The beverage container cover assembly includes a lid, a lid cover, and one or more magnetically-interfacing elements that bias the lid and lid cover with respect to each other. The beverage container cover assembly includes a biasing interface between a lid and a lid cover to bias the lid cover to remain stationary with respect to the lid.

A drinking device for the retronasal perception of an aroma substance comprises a storage container for drinking liquid, at least one aroma container, through which air can flow, and a transporting channel for drinking liquid. The transporting channel runs from the storage container to a mouth end of the drinking device. The drinking device also comprises an air channel for transporting aromatized air. The air channel running runs from at least one of the at least one aroma containers to the transporting channel for drinking liquid or to the mouth end.

Examples of a print particle transfer interface of a donor container are described herein. Some examples of the print particle transfer interface include a static interface portion to engage a receiving container. The static interface portion includes a static opening. Some examples of the print particle transfer interface include a rotating output assembly with a cylindrical valve seat and a seal component surrounding a valve opening. In some examples, the cylindrical valve seat rotates with respect to the static interface portion to align the valve opening for dispensing print particle to the receiving container.

A portable beverage container lid can include a main outer housing, a slider top assembly coupled thereto, a carrier disposed therewithin, and beverage and vent seals coupled to the carrier. The main outer housing can include a beverage opening and a vent opening. The slider top assembly can slide laterally between open and closed positions. The carrier can move when the slider top assembly slides laterally. The beverage seal can close the beverage opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position and allow the beverage to pass through the beverage opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position. The vent seal can close the vent opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position and allow air to pass through the vent opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position. The beverage and vent seals can be actuated simultaneously.
