Claims18
A drink bottle comprising:
- a container;
- a lid connected to the container, the lid including:
- a spout and a spout cover, wherein each of the spout and the spout cover are movable in opposite directions between a stowed configuration and a dispensing configuration, and
- an actuator assembly movably connected to the lid,
- said actuator assembly operatively coupled to the spout when the spout is disposed in the stowed configuration such that the spout engages the spout cover to responsively retain the spout cover in the stowed configuration, and
- said actuator assembly selectively operatively uncoupled from the spout in order to facilitate movement of the spout from the stowed configuration to the dispensing configuration and disengagement from the spout cover so that the spout cover responsively moves from the stowed configuration to the dispensing configuration.
