Patent number: 11697531Abstract: A dispensing lid includes a port through the lid, a slider in sliding engagement with the lid, and a detent on the slider. The slider is selectively movable between a closed position that closes the port, an open position that opens the port, and removal from the lid. The detent includes a wall extending from the slider, a lever attached to the slider at a pivot, a pawl extending from the lever, and a catch extending from the pawl. The lever is in an orientation opposing the wall with a gap between the lever and the wall. The catch engages a first stop in the lid when the slider is in the closed position with the lever released, engages a second stop in the lid when the slider is in the open position with the lever released, and does not engage the lid when the slider is removed.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Zak Designs, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Gillespie, Tyler Noveletsky

Patent number: 11649097Abstract: A bottle system has a liquid container with a reservoir therein and a lid that releasably engages with the liquid container and, thereby, selectively seals the reservoir when engaged with the liquid container. A slot is in the lid. A storage container inserts through the slot and, thereby, releasably engages the lid when inserted through the slot. The lid forms a barrier that separates the storage container from liquid when liquid is present in the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Zak Designs, Inc.Inventors: Greg Grankowski, Andrew Gillespie

Patent number: 10512347Abstract: A dual-dispensing lid includes a pour orifice, a pour spout corresponding with the pour orifice, and a pour cap selectively detachable from direct contact with the pour spout. The pour cap seals the pour spout from fluid exiting the fluid container through the pour spout. The lid also includes a sip orifice and an elongated and resilient sip spout inserted through the sip orifice. A sip cap is selectively releasable from compression against the sip spout and selectively compressible against the sip spout in a manner that seals the sip spout from fluid exiting the fluid container through the sip spout.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Zak Designs, Inc.Inventors: Seth Shepard, Andrew Gillespie
