Drink containers with closure retention mechanisms

A drink container, comprising:

• a liquid container having a neck with an opening and having an internal compartment sized to hold a volume of potable 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 drink spout extending from the base and defining a passage through which drink liquid from the internal compartment of the liquid container may be selectively dispensed;
• a closure configured to be removably coupled relative to the drink spout in a closed position to selectively restrict dispensing of drink liquid through the passage and to selectively permit dispensing of drink liquid through the passage when removed from the drink spout;
• a handle extending from the base, wherein the handle includes a closure retention mechanism configured to selectively retain the closure in a stowed position relative to the handle when the closure is selectively removed from the drink spout and received by the closure retention mechanism.

A cap assembly for use with a liquid container having a neck with an opening and having an internal compartment sized to hold a volume of potable drink liquid, the cap assembly comprising:

• a base configured to be removably coupled to the neck of the liquid container;
• a drink spout extending from the base and defining a passage through which drink liquid from the internal compartment of the liquid container may be selectively dispensed when the cap assembly is operatively coupled to the liquid container;
• a closure configured to be removably coupled relative to the drink spout in a closed position to selectively restrict dispensing of liquid through the passage and to selectively permit dispensing of liquid through the passage when removed from the drink spout;
• a handle extending from the base, wherein the handle includes a closure retention mechanism configured to selectively retain the closure in a stowed position relative to the handle when the closure is selectively removed from the drink spout and received by the closure retention mechanism.
