Abstract: A weighted bob adapted for being attached proximate a distal or intake end of a dispensing tube of a handheld dispenser of liquid. The bob can be provided separately for use with prior art dispensers, or the bob can be provided with the dispenser. As the dispenser is tilted to different angles, gravity acting on the weighted bob causes the intake end of the tube to remain submerged in liquid held inside a vessel's void within the dispenser.

Abstract: A guard for preventing spilling or splashing of hot or cold liquids from a drinking container when the container is moved or when drinking therefrom. The guard includes a lower lid attached to the drinking container and an upper lid attachable to the lower lid which is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. The lower lid includes a resilient sidewall for sealably engaging the inner surface of the drinking container to prevent the beverage from flowing therebetween when the container is moved or when drinking therefrom. A plurality of openings evenly spaced around the center of the lower lid are also provided in the lower lid for allowing the beverage to pass from beneath the lower lid to a position thereabove when the upper lid is in the open position.

Abstract: A guard for preventing splashing or sloshing of hot or cold liquids from a drinking container with which the guard is used. The guard includes a lower disk having an outer circular rim for engaging the inner face of the side wall of the drinking container, an upper disk having an outer rim spaced from the drinking container to provide an annular passage between the upper disk and the inner face of the side wall of the drinking container with which the guard is used, a baffle interposed between the lower disk and the upper disk for functioning to baffle the beverage when the drinking container is in motion and to act as a support for supporting the upper disk from the lower disk, and a passageway is provided through the lower disk to allow passage of the beverage through the lower disk to a position above the lower disk. An upstanding handle is provided on the upper disk and a receptacle is provided on the lower disk to removably receive the handle and permit stacking of the guards.
