Embodiment Construction

[0041] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a novel cup assembly will be disclosed to prevent accidental overflow of liquid. 1(a) and 1(b) are a front view and a perspective view, respectively, of an embodiment of a cup assembly according to the present invention. The volume of the cup or component containing the liquid portion can be adjusted as required. In one embodiment, as depicted in Figure 1, a 7 ounce drinking glass is provided. Additionally, Figure 2 illustrates a 9 oz drinking cup, although a 6.5 oz or other desired size cup could of course be provided.

[0042] In order for the user to hold the cup, the side of the cup may be provided with no handle, one handle, two handles or other number of handles. The handle is preferably sized to fit the child's hand. Additionally, the exterior and / or cap of the cup can be a single color, or printed with any desired graphics.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 10, a non-spi...

Abstract

A no-spill cup (22) and valve assembly (31) which provides an seal against accidental liquid flow. The sucking action at the cup spout creates negative pressure against a valve member (37, 39) near the spout (14) having an opening therein, causing the valve member (37, 39) and opening to move off of a protruding member, thereby unblocking the opening in the valve. When the opening is unblocked, liquid can flow freely through the valve and spout. When not in use, the valve sits in a closed with the position, with the opening in the valve sitting on a protruding member and pressed against the protruding member's base, sealing off the opening in the valve assembly (31). The closed position provides a seal against fluid leakage during inadvertent spills. The cup assembly allows variable liquid flow rates by rotating the position of the valve assembly in the cover (11) of the cup.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application whose application number is 99812329.3 and the application date is August 20, 1999.
