Abstract: A drinking vessel having a cup with a removable lid having an inlet-outlet opening which receives an elastic straw-vent assembly having a flexible tubular straw and an air passageway forming a vent opening. A cover movably mounted on top of the lid, shiftable between a closed and an open position, with an inward surface of the cover forming fluid tight seal with the vent opening when the cover is in the closed position. In the closed position the cover engages the straw, folding the straw against the lid to seal the straw passageway, and in the open position, the straw fluid passageway and the vent opening are unobstructed by the cover. A removeable elastic straw-vent assembly is also disclosed having a tab to be grasped by the user for easy removal for cleaning.

Abstract: A drinking vessel has a cup with a removable lid having at least one inlet-outlet opening which receives an elastic straw-vent assembly having a flexible tubular straw or spout and a ventilation member that defines an air passageway and a vent opening. A vent actuator is operably coupled to the ventilation member and configured to change a state of the ventilation member between a ventilation state and a closed state. A cover movably mounted on top of the lid, shiftable between a closed and an open position, comprises a cam on an inward surface of the cover which is configured to contact the vent actuator during movement of the cover member to change the state of the ventilation member. In the closed position the cover engages the straw, folding the straw against the lid, and in the open position, the straw fluid passageway and the vent opening are unobstructed.
