Abstract:
1. A drink additive lid system for selectively introducing a drink additive to a beverage container closed by the lid system, the system comprising: a plurality of additive compartments, each compartment containing a drink additive; a lid attachable to a beverage container to close a fill opening of the beverage container, the lid carrying the compartments and comprising: an additive cartridge defining the plurality of additive compartments, the cartridge releasably attached to the lid to allow the cartridge to be carried in the lid and selectively attached and removed from the lid, the additive compartments circumferentially spaced around a central axis; wherein the actuator is mounted for circumferential movement around the central axis to be sequentially positioned above each of the additive compartments; the lid further comprises a base mounting the additive compartments; an actuator carrier mounted to the base for rotation about the central axis to sequentially position the actuator above the additive compartments, the actuator being a plunger mounted in the actuator carrier to translate between a ready position where the actuator does not engage an additive compartment and a dispensing position wherein the actuator engages an additive compartment to dispense the additive therefrom into the beverage container; and a seal member mounted on one of the actuator carrier and the base, the seal member having a resilient, annular lip for sealing rotational engagement with the other of the actuator carrier and the base.
