    Abstract: A bracket device includes a bracket, a fastening member, a supporting frame, and a fitting. The fastening member is movable with respect to the bracket. Once the supporting frame is operated and thus displaced with respect to the bracket to a first position, the fastening member is supported by the supporting frame and hence in a particular position. Once the supporting frame is operated and thus displaced with respect to the bracket to a second position, the fastening member is not supported by the supporting frame and therefore no longer in the particular position. When the fitting is at a predetermined position, the supporting frame is prevented from displacement from the first position to the second position.

  • Publication number: 20180360244
    Abstract: An improved closeable lid for a beverage container is described. The lid uses a base, a flanged gasket, a valve and a knob to allow a user to control the flow of liquid from the beverage container. The flanged gasket surrounds the base with radially extending flanges that conforms to the interior of the beverage container, creating a seal. The valve moves vertically to engage and disengage the seal created by mating the valve face to the valve seat. The vertical movement of the valve is modulated by the rotation of a knob that is connected to the valve that provides a threaded shaft. The user can consume liquid from the beverage container as a result one or more fluid apertures through the base allowing for the passage of fluids from the beverage container past the valve and through base to the user. When the knob is rotated to the closed position, the valve creates a seal preventing the flow of liquid through the fluid apertures of the base.
