Abstract:
Drink bottles, or drink containers with cap assemblies that include a drink spout. In some embodiments, the drink spout is pivotally coupled to a base of the cap assembly. In some embodiments, the drink spouts include mouthpieces, including self-sealing and/or bite-actuated mouthpieces. In some embodiments, the cap assembly includes a handle, which may include at least one guard for the drink spout and/or mouthpiece. In some embodiments, the drink containers include a manual on/off valve. In some embodiments, the dispensing spout includes a mount for the mouthpiece and/or cooperates with the cap to provide a manual on/off valve to selectively restrict flow of drink fluid from the drink container regardless of the drink spout's and/or mouthpiece's configuration. In some embodiments, the drink containers include a drink tube extending from external of the drink containers and/or an air return system.

Claim (Index 1):
A drink container, comprising:\n 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, wherein the cap assembly defines a fluid conduit for drink fluid to flow from the fluid container and through the cap assembly to a user, wherein the fluid conduit includes an inlet through which drink fluid from the fluid container may enter the fluid conduit, and a dispensing outlet through which drink fluid in the fluid conduit may be dispensed from the cap assembly to a user, and further wherein the cap assembly comprises:\n a cap assembly base removably coupled to the neck of the fluid container, wherein the cap assembly base is configured to be selectively and repeatedly decoupled from and re-coupled to the neck of the fluid container; \n a pivotal mount coupled to the cap assembly base for pivotal movement relative to the cap assembly base; \n a resilient mouthpiece coupled to the pivotal mount for pivotal movement with the pivotal mount relative to the cap assembly base; wherein the resilient mouthpiece defines a portion of the fluid conduit, including the dispensing outlet; wherein the resilient mouthpiece and the pivotal mount are configured to be selectively pivoted between a stowed position and a dispensing position, and further in the dispensing position, the dispensing outlet is positioned further away from the cap assembly base than when the resilient mouthpiece and the pivotal mount are in the stowed position; wherein the resilient mouthpiece is adapted to resiliently compress responsive to compressive forces applied to the resilient mouthpiece by a user's teeth; and \n a manual on/off valve having a closed configuration, in which the manual on/off valve obstructs the fluid conduit to restrict drink fluid from flowing between the inlet and the dispensing outlet, and an open configuration, in which the manual on/off valve permits drink fluid to flow through the fluid conduit from the inlet to the dispensing outlet; wherein the manual on/off valve includes a flexible tube that defines a portion of the fluid conduit; wherein when the manual on/off valve is in the closed configuration, the tube is crimped to obstruct the flow of drink fluid through the fluid conduit; and wherein when the manual on/off valve is in the open configuration, the tube is not crimped and does not obstruct the flow of drink fluid through the fluid conduit.
