Abstract
The present invention provides a lid assembly for use in a beverage container, having a cap, a seal assembly configured to sealably close at least one drink orifice, and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is in operative connection with the cap and the seal assembly, and configured to synchronously actuate the cap to rotate and actuate the seal assembly to displace longitudinally, so as to open the drink orifice for dispensing and close the drink orifice via a single press action. The invention also relates to a beverage container comprising such a lid assembly.
Claims19
A lid assembly for a beverage container, comprising:
- a lid comprising a lid body having a receiving chamber, a lid cover having at least one drink orifice extending therethrough, and a side wall extending downwardly and circumferentially from the lid cover to define an internal space,
- a seal assembly mounted in the internal space of the lid, the seal assembly having a seal carrier and at least one drink seal carried on the seal carrier for closing the drink orifice, wherein the seal carrier is displaceable between an upper position where the drink seal is sealably engageable with the drink orifice, and a lower position where the drink seal is disengaged from the drink orifice,
- a cap rotatably placed over the lid cover and rotatable between an inactive position where the drink orifice is fully covered by the cap and an active position where at least a part of the drink orifice is uncovered by the cap, and
- an actuator assembly in operative connection with the cap and the seal assembly, the actuator assembly configured to synchronously actuate the cap to rotate between the inactive position and the active position, and actuate the seal carrier to be displaceable between the upper position and the lower position,
- wherein the cap is actuated to rotate to the inactive position when the seal carrier is actuated to the upper position to close the drink orifice, and the cap is actuated rotate to the active position when the seal carrier is actuated to the lower position to open the drink orifice for dispensing the beverage stored in the container.
