  • Patent number: 12280925
    Abstract: Drink containers include a liquid container and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container. Cap assemblies include a switch, a trigger and seal bar. Upon actuating the trigger the seal bar slides back to form a drink outlet opening in the cap assembly. To hold the seal bar in an open state without additional external force from the user, the switch is slid from an unlocked position to a locked position, thereby keeping the drink outlet and a vent formed in the cap assembly open in order to cool down a warm beverage in the liquid container.

  • Patent number: 12269651
    Abstract: A cap assembly for a container, including a base having a handle and configured to be removably coupled to the container, a drink spout extending away from the base, a closure configured to selectively transition between a closed configuration, in which the closure is engaged with the drink spout and obstructs a passage through the drink spout, and an open configuration, in which the closure is not engaged with the drink spout and does not obstruct the passage through the drink spout, a tether coupling the closure to the base, a first portion of the tether extending around the drink spout and a second portion of the tether extending around the closure, and a magnetic closure retention mechanism configured to retain the closure in an open configuration.

  • Patent number: 11064794
    Abstract: Backpacks with cooperatively adjusted hip belt segments and compression strap segments. A backpack includes a pack body, a shoulder strap, and a belt assembly. The pack body includes a back panel and an exterior panel. The belt assembly includes a compression strap segment, a hip belt segment, an adjustment strap, and a releasable fastener. The backpack includes a belt assembly waist loop with a belt assembly waist perimeter. Each adjustment strap is configured to selectively adjust each of the pack volume and the belt assembly waist perimeter. The belt assembly is configured such that, responsive to the user applying a tension force to the adjustment strap, each of a pack volume and the belt assembly waist perimeter decreases by a respective degree that depends upon a ratio of the force required to decrease the pack volume to the force required to decrease the belt assembly waist perimeter.

  • Patent number: 10993563
    Abstract: A drink container including a liquid container having a neck with an opening and having an internal compartment sized to hold a volume of potable drink liquid and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container, the cap assembly including a base removably coupled to the neck of the liquid container and including a through-passage extending through the base, a first catch structure coupled to the base, a mouthpiece assembly including a rigid collar member having second catch structure adapted to be selectively engaged with the first catch structure, and a user release mechanism adapted to automatically disengage the first and second catch structures upon actuation of the user release mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10988288
    Abstract: Cap assemblies with magnetic closure retention mechanisms and drink containers including the same. A cap assembly includes a base, a drink spout defining a passage, a closure configured to be selectively transitioned between a closed configuration and a stowed configuration via an open configuration, and a magnetic closure retention mechanism to magnetically retain the closure in the stowed configuration. When the closure is in the closed configuration, the closure is operatively coupled to the drink spout and obstructs the flow of liquid therethrough. When the closure is in the open configuration or the stowed configuration, the drink spout is uncovered and unobstructed by the closure. When the closure is in the stowed configuration, the closure is magnetically retained against the base or a handle of the cap assembly.

  • Patent number: 10974876
    Abstract: A fluid container including a fluid vessel having a neck with an opening and having an internal compartment sized to hold a volume of fluid, the internal compartment being at least partially enclosed by an opaque layer, a closure assembly removably coupled to the fluid container to cover the opening, and two or more fluid level indicators defined in the opaque layer, each fluid level indicator comprising a translucent or transparent material configured to permit light to pass through the opaque layer and into the internal compartment, at least two of the two or more fluid level indicators being positioned on circumferentially opposed sides of the fluid vessel.

  • Patent number: 10676255
    Abstract: Drink bottles, or drink containers with cap assemblies that include a drink spout. In some embodiments, the drink spout is pivotally coupled to a base of the cap assembly. In some embodiments, the drink spouts include mouthpieces, including self-sealing and/or bite-actuated mouthpieces. In some embodiments, the cap assembly includes a handle, which may include at least one guard for the drink spout and/or mouthpiece. In some embodiments, the drink containers include a manual on/off valve. In some embodiments, the dispensing spout includes a mount for the mouthpiece and/or cooperates with the cap to provide a manual on/off valve to selectively restrict flow of drink fluid from the drink container regardless of the drink spout's and/or mouthpiece's configuration. In some embodiments, the drink containers include a drink tube extending from external of the drink containers and/or an air return system.
