Abstract:
A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container.

Claim (Index 32):
A locking mechanism operable by a user for a drinking container having a container body defining a container cavity, and a drinking container body lid covering the container cavity, the lid having a seal assembly to control fluid communication between a drink aperture and the container body, the lid having an unlocked state and a locked state, the locking mechanism comprising:\n a non-rotatable button member moveable by a user in a first direction from a first position toward an interior of the lid to a second position to actuate opening of the drink aperture when the lid is in the unlocked state to allow fluid communication between the container cavity and the drink aperture, movement of the button member by the user being limited to only linear movement of the entire button member; and a locking member on the lid positioned to prevent movement of the button member from the first position to the second position when the lid is in the locked state, wherein one of the locking member and the button member is movable relative to the other in a second direction oriented transverse to the first direction, the one of the locking member and button member being movable in the second direction is movable in the second direction between a third position and a fourth position, and when moved to the third position, the locking member and the button member are at least partially aligned in the first direction to prevent movement of the button member by the user in the first direction from the first position to the second position, and when moved to the fourth position, the locking member and the button member are sufficiently out of alignment in the first direction to permit movement of the button member by the user in the first direction from the first position to the second position.
