Abstract: A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container.
Abstract: A beverage container is provided having a container main body and a handle portion attached thereto. The container main body has an upper portion with an aperture, a lower sidewall extending downwardly from the aperture, and an upper sidewall having a substantially cylindrical shape extending upwardly from the upper portion. The handle portion includes a grip portion, an attachment collar disposed on an upper handle portion, and a lower handle portion fastened to the container main body by a fastening member. The attachment collar may have an annular or curved shape that snugly fits around the upper sidewall of the container main body to attach the upper handle portion to the container main body.

Thus, the user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container. The beverage container closure includes an actuating lever configured to press the button when a user applies a force to the lever. By utilizing the mechanical advantage provided by the lever, a user is able to selectively open and close the stopper using a relatively low amount of force.
Abstract: A lid assembly for attachment to a drinking vessel is provided having a camming lever rotatably attached to an upper portion of a lid main body, and a sealing member rotatably attached to a lower portion of lid main body. Rotation of the camming lever between a forward and rearward position in an elongated recess of the lid main body selectively seals and unseals a drinking aperture in the lid main body. A locking member is operable to selectively secure the rotational position of the camming lever when the sealing member is in a sealing position sealing the drinking aperture. A cam axle of the camming lever is removably attachable to an attachment element of the sealing member to transition the lid assembly between a use configuration for drinking and a cleaning configuration in which the lid assembly may be thoroughly cleaned.

Abstract: A beverage container assembly is provided comprising a beverage container body, a stopper member removably attachable to the beverage container to seal a beverage container aperture thereof, and a thermal insulation member removably attachable to an upper body portion of the beverage container body. The thermal insulation member has a sidewall extending downwardly from an upper portion and defining a downwardly opening cavity within which the upper body portion and the stopper are positioned. The sidewall and the upper portion of the thermal insulation member each include an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall. An insulation chamber is disposed between the inner and outer walls. The thermal insulation member includes an engagement portion adapted to engage with a corresponding engagement portion of the upper body portion to removably attach the thermal insulation member thereto.

Abstract: An assembly including a vessel, lid, citrus reamer, and cap. The lid is configured to engage the vessel in both first and second orientations. The citrus reamer is removably couplable to the lid in both storage and use orientations. The cap is removably attachable to the lid. The vessel, the lid in the first orientation, the citrus reamer (in either the use or storage orientations), and the cap are removably couplable together to form a kit assembly. The vessel, the lid in the first orientation, and the cap are removably couplable together to form a cocktail shaker. The vessel, the lid in the second orientation, and the citrus reamer in the use orientation are removably couplable together to form a first juicing assembly. Cups may be removably housed inside the vessel. One of the cups and the citrus reamer may be removably coupled together to form a second juicing assembly.
