Splash/slosh guard for drinking vessels

In combination, a drinking container including a side wall having a frusto-conically shaped sloping inner face and a guard for preventing splashing or sloshing of a beverage from the drinking container, said guard comprising:

• (a) a lower disk having a continuous outer rim for removably engaging the inner face of the drinking container to prevent the beverage from flowing between the outer rim of the lower disk and the inner face of the side wall of the container, said lower disk having passageway means for the beverage to pass from beneath the lower disk to a position above the lower disk;
• (b) an upper disk having a continuous outer rim, the diameter of said upper disk being smaller than the inner face of the side wall of the drinking container to provide an annular passage for the beverage at any point around the outer rim of the upper disk, and for being spaced vertically above said lower disk;
• and
• (c) baffle means interposed between said lower disk and said upper disk for baffling the beverage when the drinking container is in motion and for supporting said upper disk over said lower disk.

A guard for preventing splashing or sloshing of a beverage from a drinking container having an inner wall, said guard comprising:

• (a) a lower disk having passageway means for the beverage to pass from a position beneath the lower disk to a position above the lower disk, said lower disk having a continuous outer rim which engages the inner wall of the container to prevent the beverage from flowing between the outer rim of the lower disk and the inner wall of the container;
• (b) an upper disk having a continuous outer rim, said upper disk being disposed above and spaced apart from said lower disk, the diameter of said upper disk being less than the diameter of the inner wall of the container and the entire outer rim of the upper disk being spaced apart from the inner wall of the container so that the beverage flows between the outer rim of the upper disc and the inner wall of the container at any point around the upper disc when the container is placed in an angled position;
• and
• (c) at least one baffle disposed between the lower disk and the upper disk for baffling the beverage when the container is in motion and for supporting the upper disk over the lower disk.

In combination, a drinking container and a guard for preventing splashing or sloshing of a beverage from the drinking container, said guard comprising:

• (a) a lower disk having a continuous outer rim, said lower disk having passageway means for the beverage to pass from beneath the lower disk to a position above the lower disk;
• (b) an upper disk having a continuous outer rim, said upper disk having a diameter which allows the beverage to flow freely at any point around the outer rim of the upper disk, said upper disk being disposed above and spaced apart from said lower disk;
• and
• (c) baffle means interposed between said lower disk and said upper disk for baffling the beverage when the drinking container is in motion and for supporting said upper disk over said lower disk;
• and
• (d) sealing means integrally attached to the outer rim of the lower disk for sealably engaging the upper edge of the drinking container.
