No-spill drinking cup apparatus

A apparatus, comprising:

• (a) a no-spill drinking apparatus, said apparatus comprising a cap said cap comprising a spout;
• (b) a valve, said valve comprising a flexible material comprising an opening, said valve further comprising a post, said post extending into said opening, said valve having a closed position and an open position, wherein liquid is blocked from passing through said opening and through said spout when said valve is in said closed position;
• (c) an air vent;
• and,
• (d) a subunit of said apparatus;
• (e) wherein said apparatus is configured such that application of negative pressure through said spout causes said flexible material to move, with said opening of said flexible material moving along said post toward said spout, such that liquid passes through said opening and out of said spout, and air passes into said apparatus through said air vent;
• and,
• (f) wherein upon said application of said negative pressure, said flexible material hits said subunit.

• (c) a valve holder which holds said flexible material, said valve holder being attachable to said cap and separable from said cap;
• (d) an air valve said air valve comprising an opening;
• and,
• (e) a subunit of said apparatus, said subunit comprising a shield;
• (f) wherein said apparatus is configured such that application of negative pressure through said spout causes said flexible material to move, with said opening of said flexible material moving along said post toward said spout such that liquid passes through said opening and out of said spout, and air passes into said apparatus through said air valve;
• (g) wherein said air valve is closed when said valve is in said closed position, and said air valve opens upon said application of negative pressure through said spout;
• (h) said shield being at a sufficiently close distance to said flexible material such that upon said application of negative pressure said flexible material will hit said shield.
