Lockable beverage container closure

A lid for use with a drinking vessel containing a liquid, comprising:

• a body selectively couplable to the drinking vessel, the body including an upper portion having an opening configured to permit fluid passage therethrough when the lid is coupled to the drinking vessel;
• and
• a cover rotatably coupled to the body and operative to rotatably transition between a closed position wherein the cover is engaged with the body to prevent the liquid from exiting the drinking vessel through the opening and an open position wherein the cover is spaced apart from the body to allow fluid passage through the opening, the cover comprising:
• a first locking mechanism including an actuation disk rotatable between a locking position and an unlocking position, the actuation disk having a first locking member preventing the cover from transitioning from the closed position to the open position when the actuation disk is in the locking position, and permitting the cover to transition from the closed position to the open position when the actuation disk is in the unlocking position, and
• a second locking mechanism including a second locking member holding the cover in the closed position and operable to permit transition of the cover from the closed position to the open position when the actuation disk is in the unlocking position;
• and
• wherein the upper portion of the body is configured with a drinking spout including the opening;
• and the drinking spout is configured with a ledge operative to receive the first locking member therebelow and thereby prevent the cover from transitioning from the closed position to the open position.

A drinking vessel and lid assembly, comprising:

• a drinking vessel;
• and
• a lid comprising:
• a body selectively couplable to the drinking vessel, the body including an upper portion having an opening configured to permit fluid passage therethrough when the lid is coupled to the drinking vessel;
• and
• a cover rotatably coupled to the body and operative to rotatably transition between a closed position wherein the cover is engaged with the body to prevent fluid from exiting the drinking vessel through the opening and an open position wherein the cover is spaced apart from the body to allow fluid passage through the opening, the cover comprising:
• a first locking mechanism including an actuation disk rotatable between a locking position and an unlocking position, the actuation disk having a first locking member preventing the cover from transitioning from the closed position to the open position when the actuation disk is in the locking position, and permitting the cover to transition from the closed position to the open position when the actuation disk is in the unlocking position,
• a second locking mechanism including a second locking member operable to permit transition of the cover from the closed position to the open position when the actuation disk is in the unlocking position,
• an upper wall with an aperture and the actuation disk disposed above the upper wall over the aperture,
• a support member disposed below the upper wall and supporting the first locking member for rotation therewith, and
• a connector member extending through the aperture and having an upper end portion attached to the actuation disk and a lower end portion attached to the support member, and configured for rotation of the actuation disk from the locking position to the unlocking position moving the first locking member from a first position preventing the cover from transitioning from the closed position to the open position to a second position permitting the cover to transition from the closed position to the open position.

A drinking vessel and lid assembly, comprising:

• a drinking vessel;
• a lid selectively couplable to the drinking vessel, the lid having a body, the body having an upper portion configured with an opening to permit fluid passage therethrough when the lid is coupled to the drinking vessel, the lid having a cover rotatably coupled to the body and operative to rotatably transition between a closed position wherein the cover is engaged with the body to prevent fluid from exiting the drinking vessel through the opening and an open position wherein the cover is spaced apart from the body to allow fluid passage through the opening;
• and
• the lid being configured with a locking mechanism including an actuation member rotatable between a locking position and an unlocking position, the cover being operative to transition from the closed position to the open position on a condition that the actuation member is in the unlocking position, the cover being held in the closed position when the actuation member is in the locking position, the cover further including:
• an upper wall with an aperture and the actuation member disposed above the upper wall over the aperture,
• a support member disposed below the upper wall and supporting the locking mechanism for rotation therewith, and
• a connector member extending through the aperture and having an upper end portion attached to the actuation member and a lower end portion attached to the support member, and configured for rotation of the actuation member from the locking position to the unlocking position moving the locking mechanism from a first position preventing the cover from transitioning from the closed position to the open position to a second position permitting the cover to transition from the closed position to the open position.
