Abstract: A mug that is normally too large to fit into a vehicle cup holder is fitted with a hollow base member that is appropriately sized. When the elements are combined, the resulting mug can be conveniently carried in a vehicle cup holder. The base member can be used to carry beverage accessories such sugar, sweetener, creamer, or tea or cocoa. It is also possible to store liquids in the base member, such as extra coffee if the user wishes more than the mug can hold. Gaskets can be used to prevent leakage and cover members can be provided to close the base member when not connected to the mug.

Abstract: A travel mug includes a container and a lid in combination. The container has a handle and an annular lip. The lid has an annulus capable of forming a seal with the top side of the annular lip. A cylindrical well in the lid has a vertical dividing wall so that the lid may be readily rotated by hand. Two retaining arms extend from the underside of the lid and engage the underside of the annular lip to pull it into tight abutment therewith. Diametrically opposed gaps in the lip act as passageways for the retaining arms. Diametrically opposed notches in the lid when aligned with the gaps allow a person to drink from the otherwise sealed container.
