Abstract
A drink container is provided. The drink container can include a liquid container and a cap assembly coupled to the liquid container. A mouthpiece assembly of the cap assembly can define a liquid passage through which drink liquid from the liquid container may selectively flow, and can be selectively positioned between a dispensing configuration and a stowed configuration. A dust cover can cover at least a portion of the mouthpiece assembly in the stowed configuration.
Claims20
A drink container, comprising:
- a liquid container having a neck with an opening and an internal compartment to hold drink liquid;
- and
- a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container, the cap assembly comprising:
- a base removably coupled to the neck of the liquid container;
- a mouthpiece assembly defining a liquid passage through which drink liquid from the liquid container may selectively flow, the mouthpiece assembly configured to be selectively positioned between a dispensing configuration, in which the liquid passage permits drink liquid to flow from the internal compartment into at least the liquid passage, and a stowed configuration, in which drink liquid is restricted from being dispensed from the liquid container through the liquid passage;
- a dust cover configured to be selectively positioned in an open configuration, in which the dust cover is outwardly positioned, and a closed configuration, in which the dust cover is configured to cover at least a portion of the mouthpiece assembly in the stowed configuration;
- and
- a stowing region formed in the base and configured to receive the mouthpiece assembly in the stowed configuration, the stowing region comprising a first end and a second end, one or more retention detents disposed at the first end and configured to retain the mouthpiece assembly in the stowed configuration, and one or more first stop detents disposed at the second end and configured to prevent the dust cover from moving further into the stowing region in the closed configuration.

A cap assembly, comprising:
- a base removably coupled to a liquid container;
- a mouthpiece assembly defining a liquid passage through which drink liquid from the liquid container may selectively flow, the mouthpiece assembly configured to be selectively positioned between a dispensing configuration, in which the liquid passage permits drink liquid to flow from the liquid container into at least the liquid passage, and a stowed configuration, in which drink liquid is restricted from being dispensed from the liquid container through the liquid passage, the mouthpiece assembly comprising a pressure release channel comprising a pressure release outlet, the pressure release channel configured to vent pressure from the liquid container to the pressure release outlet when the mouthpiece assembly is transitioned from the stowed configuration and the dispensing configuration;
- and
- a stowing region formed in the base configured to receive the mouthpiece assembly in the stowed configuration, the stowing region comprising one or more retention detents configured to retain the mouthpiece assembly in the stowed configuration.
