Patent ID: 8684050

Claim:
An improved drink dispensing system comprising: a container; a spigot extending from an outside portion of said container, said spigot comprising a lever, a cylindrical nozzle, and a cylindrical locking collar; said nozzle being of a lesser diameter of, and extending through, said collar, an interior surface of said collar having threads; said lever being in rotational communication with said collar, such that horizontal rotation of said lever causes horizontal rotation of said collar along a common axis of rotation; and a lid, adapted to fit a corresponding cup, said lid comprising a cylindrical spout extending vertically upwards from a top surface of said lid, an exterior surface of said spout having threads correspond to said threads of said interior surface of said collar; said lid mates to said spigot, such that said nozzle extends into said spout; and said collar surrounds said exterior of said spout; wherein horizontal rotation of said lever causes said threads of said collar to engage with said threads of said spout, thereby releasably affixing said lid to said spigot for dispensing of said liquid; wherein vertical rotation of said lever causes fluid to dispense from the container and; wherein said lever is restricted from dispensing fluid unless said lid is releasably affixed to said spigot.
