Abstract
A lid assembly for a beverage container, comprising a lid body adapted for detachably coupled to the beverage container, the lid body having a drink orifice and a gas vent, each being sealable to block fluid communication with the beverage container; a first sealing mechanism configured for sealing and unsealing the gas vent; a second sealing mechanism configured for sealing and unsealing the drink orifice; an actuator for actuating and de-actuating the first and second sealing mechanisms. The actuator is configured for sequentially actuating the first and the second sealing mechanisms, causing the gas vent to unseal as a result of an initial actuation of the actuator, and subsequently causing the drink orifice to unseal as a result of a further actuation of the actuator.
Claims14
A lid assembly for a beverage container, comprising:
- a lid body adapted for detachably coupled to the beverage container, the lid body having a drink orifice and a gas vent, each being sealable to block fluid communication with the beverage container;
- a first sealing mechanism configured for sealing and unsealing the gas vent;
- a second sealing mechanism configured for sealing and unsealing the drink orifice;
- an actuator for actuating and de-actuating the first and second sealing mechanisms;
- wherein the actuator is configured for sequentially actuating the first and the second sealing mechanisms, causing the gas vent to unseal as a result of an initial actuation of the actuator, and subsequently causing the drink orifice to unseal as a result of a further actuation of the actuator,
- characterized in that,
- said lid assembly further comprising a cover adapted for concealing the drink orifice and the gas vent, wherein the cover is pivotally mounted on the lid body, and is pivotable between an open position and a closed position, and wherein the cover comprising an arcuate recess, with the cover in the open position, the arcuate recess aligning with the gas vent for allowing gas to exit from the gas vent therethrough.
A lid assembly for a beverage container, comprising:
- a lid body comprising a top surface defining a drink orifice and a gas vent formed therethrough,
- a drink lever pivotally mounted within the lid body;
- a drink seal provided on the drink lever which is spring-biased toward the drink orifice to form a seal for the drink orifice;
- a vent lever pivotally mounted within the lid body;
- a vent seal provided on the vent lever which is spring-biased toward the gas vent to form a seal for the gas vent;
- and an actuator movable with respect to the lid body;
- wherein the actuator is configured to, when moving in an actuating direction, engage with the vent lever to cause the vent lever to pivot downward to unseal the gas vent, and moving the actuator further in the actuating direction causes the vent lever to act on the drink lever to pivot the drink lever downward, thereby unsealing the drink orifice,
- characterized in that,
- said lid assembly further comprising a cover adapted for concealing the drink orifice and the gas vent, wherein the cover is pivotally mounted on the lid body, and is pivotable between an open position and a closed position, and wherein the cover comprises an arcuate recess, with the cover in the open position, the arcuate recess aligns with the gas vent for allowing gas to exit from the gas vent therethrough.
