Patent ID: 8622237

Claim:
A drink container, comprising: a rigid fluid container having a fluid container base adapted to support the fluid container in an upright configuration, wherein the fluid container further includes a neck with an opening and a wall structure extending between the neck and the fluid container base; wherein the fluid container defines an internal compartment sized to hold a volume of potable drink fluid; a cap assembly removably coupled to the fluid container to cover the opening, the cap assembly comprising: a cap assembly base removably coupled to the neck of the fluid container; a drink spout extending in a fixed orientation relative to the cap assembly base and having an outlet, wherein the drink spout defines at least a portion of a fluid conduit for drink fluid to flow from the fluid container through the drink spout; and a self-sealing bite-actuated mouthpiece fluidly coupled to the drink spout and including a sealable opening through which drink fluid may be selectively dispensed from the fluid container to a user, wherein the mouthpiece is selectively configured between a closed configuration, in which the mouthpiece is adapted to prevent drink fluid from being dispensed therethrough, and a dispensing configuration, in which the mouthpiece is adapted to permit drink fluid to be dispensed therethrough, wherein the mouthpiece is adapted to be configured from the closed configuration to the dispensing configuration responsive to compressive forces applied thereto, and further wherein the mouthpiece is biased to automatically return from the dispensing configuration to the closed configuration.
