  • Publication number: 20220396401
    Abstract: Cap assemblies and drink containers including the same. The cap assemblies include a base portion that sealingly mates with a neck of a liquid vessel and includes a base opening, a cover portion including a drink outlet and pivotally coupled to the base portion to selectively transition the cover portion between closed and open configurations. When the cover portion is in the closed configuration with the cap assembly coupled to the liquid vessel, the cover portion channels liquid through the base opening to the drink outlet and restricts liquid from being dispensed from the cap assembly other than through the drink outlet. When the cover portion is in the open configuration with the cap assembly coupled to the liquid vessel, the cover portion is pivoted away from the base portion and permits liquid to be dispensed from the cap assembly through the base opening without passing through the drink outlet.
