Abstract
A liquid dispensing cover for a container has a dispensing recess extending into a cover top thereof. The dispensing recess is resiliently openable and closable to enable placement of cover into a closed configuration, in which the dispensing recess is closed, and an open configuration in which the dispensing recess is open to allow flow of liquid through the dispensing recess for drinking.
Claims20
A liquid dispensing cover for a container for a liquid, the container having a container side wall with a generally circular open container top end, the container top end having an outwardly protruding container flange extending circumferentially therearound, said cover comprising:
- a generally circular cover top wall having a downwardly facing annular peripheral groove extending around and defining a periphery thereof, said groove releasably and sealingly receiving the container flange for releasably and sealingly connecting said cover top wall to the container top end;
- and
- a dispensing recess recessing downwardly from said cover top wall, said dispensing recess having a recess bottom wall, downwardly inset from said cover top wall, and at least one recess protrusion extending upwardly from said recess bottom wall and vertically above said ridge, said recess bottom wall having a free edge and being resiliently movable, by application of a downwardly directed force to said protrusion, between a closed configuration for said cover, in which said recess bottom wall closes said dispensing recess, and an open configuration for said cover, in which said recess bottom wall is opened at said free edge, thereby enabling flow of said liquid therethrough.
A liquid dispensing cover for a container for a liquid, the container having a closed container bottom end and an open container top end with a container side extending therebetween, said cover comprising:
- a cover side wall sealingly mating with the container top end;
- a cover top sealingly connected to said cover side wall and having a dispensing recess, recessing inwardly from said cover top on a recess side wall extending inwardly from said cover top, said dispensing recess having a resilient proximal portion proximal said cover side wall and a generally opposed distal portion distal said cover side wall, said dispensing recess having a recess protrusion extending outwardly therefrom, said proximal portion being movable between a closed configuration, in which said proximal portion abuts against said recess side wall of said dispensing recess to impede flow of said liquid therebetween, and an open configuration in which said proximal portion is separated from said recess side wall, thereby enabling flow of said liquid therebetween, by application of an inwardly directed force to said recess protrusion.
