Patent ID: 7533783

Claim:
A drink container, comprising: a fluid container having a neck with an opening and having 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 base removably coupled to the neck of the fluid container, wherein the base is configured to be selectively and repeatedly decoupled from and re-coupled to the neck of the fluid container; a drink spout pivotally coupled to the 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; wherein the drink spout is adapted to be selectively configured within a range of positions relative to the base through pivotal movement of the drink spout relative to the base, wherein the range of positions includes at least a stowed configuration and a dispensing configuration, wherein in the dispensing configuration the outlet of the drink spout is further away from the base of the cap assembly than in the stowed configuration; 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 drink 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 configurations; and a handle that projects away from the base of the cap assembly, wherein the handle includes at least one lateral guard that extends proximate a side of the mouthpiece when the drink spout is in the stowed configuration.
