Beverage Container with Rotatable Sealing Arrangement

Abstract

A beverage container includes a container body, a lid and a rotatable sealing arrangement. The lid includes a lid body having a top panel and an access opening. The rotatable sealing arrangement includes a cover assembly and a sealing piece. The cover assembly includes a main shaft and a first sealing cover extended from the main shaft and positioned on the top panel of the lid body. The sealing piece is movably coupled to the main shaft, and includes a coupler ring having a through hole and a second sealing cover extended from the coupler ring. When the cover assembly is in an opened position, the cover assembly is rotated so that the first sealing cover is rotated to cover on top of the access opening, while the second sealing cover is driven to move upwardly with respect to the main shaft for blocking the access opening.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTIONField of Invention[0001]The present invention relates a beverage container, and more particularly to a beverage container comprising a rotatable sealing arrangement, in which a cover assembly and a sealing piece provides a double sealing effect to an access opening of a lid body so as to prevent liquid from spilling out of the beverage container even when it is flipped side way or turned upside down.Description of Related Arts[0002]A conventional container, such as a beverage container for containing water, usually comprises a container body and a lid detachably attached on the container body. The container body has a container cavity for storing a predetermined amount of fluid, such as water. The lid usually comprises a lid body having a drinking hole communicating with the container cavity, and a sealing handle movably mounted on the lid body for selectively opening or closing the drinking hole.[0003]Conventionally, the sealing handle may be coup...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a beverage container with a rotatable sealing arrangement that prevents liquid from spilling out even if the container is turned upside down or flipped side way. The design features a cover assembly and a sealing piece that provide a double sealing effect to the lid body, which ensures that the container is always secure and prevents any accidental spills.

Problems solved by technology

A major disadvantage of the conventional beverage container such as the one mentioned above is that there is no locking mechanism to restrict the rotational movement of the sealing handle.

For those beverage containers which utilize similar structures, the sealing handle is tightly coupled to the lid body so that although the sealing handle may rotate with respect to the lid body, it is very hard for a user to rotate the sealing handle for opening and closing the drinking hole.

This disadvantage presents great inconvenience to users especially when the beverage container is being used in outdoor environment or the users are very young (such as kids) when he or she does not have adequate power to turn the sealing handle.

Moreover, most conventional beverage containers having the sealing handle as mentioned above does not have adequate sealing so that when the beverage container is flipped side way or turned upside down, liquid in the beverage containers may spill out of the container.
