  • Patent number: 12286272
    Abstract: Some embodiments described herein are directed to a lid for a beverage container including a lid base, a closure, and a handle. The lid base may define a drinking opening therethrough. The closure may be coupled to the lid base and movable between a closed position in which the closure covers the drinking opening and an open position in which the closure does not cover the drinking opening. The handle may be coupled to the lid base and rotatable about a handle rotation axis. When the closure is in the closed position, the closure remains in the closed position when the handle is rotated within a first handle range. In response to the handle being rotated beyond the first handle range when the closure is in the closed position, the closure automatically moves from the closed position to the open position.

  • Patent number: 12239251
    Abstract: A lid for a drinking vessel including a lid base, a movable arm, and an actuator. The base defines a drinking opening. The arm is coupled to the base and located in an interior of the base. The actuator is accessible from an exterior of the base. A first and second magnet unit are coupled to one of the arm or actuator. A third magnet unit is coupled to the other of the arm or actuator. The arm is movable between a sealed position, in which the drinking opening is sealed, and an open position, in which the drinking opening is not sealed. The actuator is movable between a first and second position. A magnetic force maintains the arm in the open position while the actuator is in the second position, and a magnetic force maintains the arm in the sealed position while the actuator is in the first position.

  • Publication number: 20250033844
    Abstract: A lid for a beverage container including a lid body defining a drinking passageway extending between a drinking opening at an upper rim of the lid body and a drinking passageway inlet at an interior of the lid body. The lid includes an actuator accessible from an exterior of the lid body and a sealing apparatus coupled to the actuator and located at least partially in an interior of the lid body. The actuator and the sealing apparatus can slide relative to the lid body between a sealed position and an unsealed position. In the sealed position a sealing member of the sealing apparatus contacts an interior surface of the lid body around the drinking passageway inlet to seal the drinking passageway.

  • Publication number: 20240109694
    Abstract: A drinking vessel including a beverage container and a closure assembly attachable to the beverage container. The beverage container has a spout defining a first drinking opening and a second drinking opening. The closure assembly includes a positioning member and a sealing member. When the positioning member is in a sealing orientation, the positioning member can extend deep enough into the first drinking opening for the sealing member to seal the first drinking opening and the second drinking opening. When the positioning member is not in the sealing orientation, the positioning member cannot extend deep enough into the first drinking opening for the sealing member to seal the first drinking opening and the second drinking opening.
