Abstract: A container having a removable lid, a hollow interior for storing contents, and a stirring assembly. The stirring assembly includes a rotatable wheel mounted to an outside portion of the removable lid and a shaft extending into the hollow interior of the container. The rotatable wheel is manually rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The shaft is rotatable by the wheel. When the wheel is rotated about the first axis of rotation, the wheel rotates the shaft about a second axis of rotation. At least one paddle extends outwardly from the shaft into the hollow interior of the container and stirs or agitates the contents of the container when the rotation of the shaft about the second axis of rotation rotates the at least one paddle inside the hollow interior of the container.

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 cover that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The cover is pivotably connected to the lid. The lid also includes a rotatable handle that may be pivoted by a user from a first position to a second position. When pivoted, the handle is operative to cause the cover to pivotably rotate about a pivot point between an open position wherein a user may access a liquid contained in the beverage container and a closed position wherein the liquid is sealed within the beverage container. Thus, a user may simply rotate the handle of the lid to selectively open and close the cover.

Abstract: An integrated beverage infuser and lid are adapted for use with an insulated drinking vessel for brewing a consumable product, such as tea, in an insulated travel mug, tumbler, or the like. The lid includes a main body adapted for movable receipt on a drinking vessel that forms a downwardly directed, open-ended cavity. A fluid-permeable brewing basket defines an enclosable receptacle for removable receipt of the brewing consumable product. The basket is movable between a stowed position, substantially within the cavity above the liquid level of the hot water in the tumbler, and a deployed position, below and substantially outside of the cavity for submersion in the hot water contained in the drinking vessel. A lever arm forms a part of the transfer mechanism and has a portion that penetrates the main body to the outside thereof so that the transfer mechanism can be operated by an individual without removing the lid from the insulated drinking vessel, tumbler, or the like.
