  • Locking drink container
    Patent number: 10336518
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a cap assembly and a container assembly. The cap assembly may be unscrewed from the container assembly by simultaneously pressing a predetermined combination of buttons available on the top of the cap assembly. If the predetermined combination of buttons is not precisely and exclusively selected, the cap assembly resists being unscrewed from the container assembly and a beverage inside remains inaccessible. A user of the apparatus who knows the correct combination of buttons will thereby be able to readily access the beverage in the container assembly, but one without that knowledge will not. Tampering is avoided.
